Abstract

By the early 1940s, when Ukranian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française - the first two parts of a planned five-part novel - she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France - where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis - she'd begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Ne;mirovsky's literary masterpiece. The first part, "A Storm in June," opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival - some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives - but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, "Dolce," we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants - cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity. Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation -at once subtle and severe

Abstract

"Their eyes see rubble, former exiles see home" Globe and Mail, 23 June 2000 Douglas Porteous and Sandra Smith begin their analysis by examining just how important home is to human life and community. Using a multitude of case studies of displacement, they derive a theoretical framework that addresses the methods, effects of, and motives for domicide. Two case studies of resettlement resulting from hydro-electric power development in British Columbia are used to test this framework. Porteous and Smith assess the implications of loss of home, evaluate current efforts at mitigation, suggest better policies to alleviate the suffering of the dispossessed, and - as a last resort - urge resistance against unacceptable projects.

Abstract

Jacques Schiffrin changed the face of publishing in the twentieth century. As the founder of Les Éditions de la Pléiade in Paris and cofounder of Pantheon Books in New York, he helped define a lasting canon of Western literature while also promoting new authors who shaped transatlantic intellectual life. In this first biography of Schiffrin, Amos Reichman tells the poignant story of a remarkable publisher and his dramatic travails across two continents.Just as he influenced the literary trajectory of the twentieth century, Schiffrin's life was affected by its tumultuous events. Born in Baku in 1892, he fled after the Bolsheviks came to power, eventually settling in Paris, where he founded the Pléiade, which published elegant and affordable editions of literary classics as well as leading contemporary writers. After Vichy France passed anti-Jewish laws, Schiffrin fled to New York, later establishing Pantheon Books with Kurt Wolff, a German exile. Following Schiffrin's death in 1950, his son André continued in his father's footsteps, preserving and continuing a remarkable intellectual and cultural legacy at Pantheon. In addition to recounting Schiffrin's life and times, Reichman describes his complex friendships with prominent figures including André Gide, Jean-Paul Sartre, Peggy Guggenheim, and Bernard Berenson. From the vantage point of Schiffrin's extraordinary career, Reichman sheds new light on French and American literary culture, European exiles in the United States, and the transatlantic ties that transformed the world of publishing.

Abstract

Verpleegkundige vaardigheden deel 1 en 2 vormen samen dé methode voor het onderwijzen van verpleegkundige vaardigheden. Dit tweede deel behandelt de complexere handelingen die een verpleegkundige op de verpleegafdeling uitvoert, zoals diagnostisch onderzoek, de bloedcirculatie en palliatief terminale zorg. Deel één bevat de basisvaardigheden die iedere verpleegkundige nodig heeft voor het verlenen van kwalitatieve zorg.Elk hoofdstuk begint met de uitleg van de theoretische achtergrond en vervolgt met de bespreking van de bijbehorende praktische verpleegkundige handelingen. Aan de hand van klinische en juridische aandachtspunten, uitkomsten van wetenschappelijk onderzoek en gerontologische aandachtspunten wordt de verdieping aangebracht. De hoofdstukken zijn zo geconstrueerd dat het boek past in elk didactisch model. Studenten kunnen er ook zelfstandig mee aan de slag en in de praktijk kan het als naslagwerk dienen. Deze achtste editie is geheel geactualiseerd en nog meer aangepast aan de Nederlandse en Vlaamse situatie. Ook is een aanzienlijk deel van het fotomateriaal vervangen door nieuw Nederlands beeld. Bij een aantal hoofdstukken is een kader over thuiszorg toegevoegd. Het aantal evidence-based nursing kaders is uitgebreid. Een heel belangrijke aanvulling op deze editie is de toevoeging van Pearson XTRA. Via een uitgebreid aanbod van (interactief) materiaal, waaronder video’s, is de student in de gelegenheid om actief met de stof aan de gang te gaan.
