Abstract

Here are the world's most-loved stories, in a dynamic visual tour de force for today's readers. Each timeless myth is superbly presented in story form and enhanced with original art work by world-renowned artist Giovanni Caselli.

Abstract

Une étude particulièrement fouillée et complète, résultat de la collecte et de l'analyse de différents dictons liés au temps. L'auteur relève que sont à tort qualifiés de météorologiques nombre de dictions qui n'ont aucun lien avec la température ni avec le temps historique ou métaphysique. Ils sont une perspective du temps qui passe dans une visée utilitaire, afin de rythmer le temps de travail au jour le jour en usant de moyens mnémotechniques sur le patron de "A la Sainte-Luce, les jours croissent du saut d'une puce". L'étude analyse un millier de ces dictons que l'auteur qualifie de "chronométriques".

Abstract

During the 1930s and 40s the Lilliput Troupe, a beloved and successful family of singers and actors, dazzled with their vaudeville programme and unique performances. The only all-dwarf show of the time, their small stature earned them fame ? and, ironically, ultimately saved their lives. As Hitler's war descended, the Ovitz family ? seven of whom were dwarfs ? was plunged into the horrors of the darkest moments in modern history. Descending from the cattle train into the death camp of Auschwitz, they were separated from other Jewish victims on the orders of one Dr Joseph Mengele, the ?Ang
