Georges Henein, Poète Francophone d'Égypte
Georges Henein, poète francophone d'Égypte apporte une contribution manifeste à la discipline des études littéraires francophones et comble un grand vide dans le domaine encore à peine exploré de la francophonie au Moyen Orient. Cet ouvrage met en lumière la vie et l'oeuvre de Georges Henein, l'un des pères du surréalisme égyptien, souvent comparé à André Breton. Un premier chapitre analyse l'empreinte historique, littéraire et culturelle laissée par la France sur l'Égypte, de l'expédition de Bonaparte aux années 1960. Un second volet montre comment le mouvement surréaliste français a pris racine dans le pays du Levant au cours des années 1920 et étudie ses effets sur la littérature égyptienne avant la crise de Suez. Le troisiLe troisième et dernier chapitre est consacré à une analyse de textes choisis et tente de définir le projet poétique et l'orientation politique de l'auteur. Cette réflexion montre également en quoi les textes d'Henein sont une contribution majeure à la littérature française et francophone et pourquoi ils méritent une place centrale dans le canon littéraire du 20e siècle. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à un large public international et interdisciplinaire. Chercheurs, professeurs et étudiants, mais aussi non-spécialistes trouveront dans ce livre une source leur permettant de se familiariser avec le mouvement surréaliste francophone en Égypte, ainsi qu'Henein, ses oeuvres, et son époque. Un nombre encore limité d'études ont été publiées dans le domaine de la littérature francophone d'Égypte et beaucoup de ses auteurs restent largement inconnus du grand public. C'est à cette lacune que cet ouvrage tente de remédier. English summary: Georges Henein, French poet of Egypt provides a clear contribution to the discipline of the French literary studies and fills a void in the still barely explored area of the Francophonie in the Middle East. This book highlights the life and work of Georges Henein, one of the fathers of the Egyptian surrealism, often compared to André Breton.

André Salmon on French Modern Art
André Salmon was one of the premier art critics of his day and the author of two important eyewitness accounts of early twentieth century art in France, La jeune peinture française and La jeune sculpture française. These works capture the revolutionary spirit of the period and include references and jokes of a small coterie of artists and poets that included Picasso, Guillaume Apollinare, Max Jacob, Georges Braque, and Salmon himself. This is the first English-language translation of Salmon's first two books, which serve as the primary sources on the Fauves, the Cubists, and their avant-garde contemporaries. Gersh-Ne∫ic's translation includes annotations that expand upon the period, most notably the literary references that came so naturally to Salmon. His rapport with his peers becomes transparent, providing insight into the studio banter that gave rise to some of the art work of that era, particularly Picasso's collages. The introduction calls attention to Salmon's main criteria as a critic and offers an understanding of his personal aesthetics through which we gain a better sense of his ideas and prejudices.

Georges Bataille
Georges Bataille was a philosopher, writer, librarian, pornographer and a founder of the influential journals Critique and Acéphale. He has had an enormous impact on contemporary thought, influencing such writers as Barthes, Baudrillard, Derrida, Foucault and Sontag. Many of his books, including the notorious Story of the Eye and the fascinating The Accursed Share, are modern classics.In this acclaimed intellectual biography, Michel Surya gives a detailed and insightful account of Bataille's work against the backdrop of his life - his troubled childhood, his difficult relationship with André Breton and the surrealists and his curious position as a thinker of excess, 'potlatch', sexual extremes and religious sacrifice, one who nonetheless remains at the heart of twentieth century French thought-all of it drawn here in rich and allusive prose. While exploring the source of the violent eroticism that laces Bataille's novels, the book is also an acute guide to the development of Bataille's philosophical thought. Enriched by testimonies from Bataille's closest acquaintances and revealing the context in which he worked, Surya sheds light on a figure Foucault described as 'one of the most important writers of the century'.
