‎Présumé innocent‎

‎Albin Michel 1988 in8. 1988. broché. 442 pages. Ray Horgan procureur du comté de Kindle est en campagne électorale pour le renouvellement de son mandat. Une de ses collaboratrices est retrouvée morte. Qui a assassiné cette belle et attirante jeune femme? C'est ce que Rusty Sabich premier adjoint de Horgan est chargé de découvrir rapidement afin que ce meurtre n'ait aucune incidence sur la réélection de son patron. Mais coup de théâtre Horgan perd son poste et à peine élu le nouveau procureur accuse Rusty du meurtre. Ancien amant de la victime plusieurs preuves l'accablent. L'un des mérites de ce livre outre son suspense est de dépeindre des personnages en demi-teinte souvent cyniques et ambigus. Ancien avocat lui-même Scott Turow utilise son expérience pour rendre vivantes et réalistes des séances de tribunal où chaque partie use d'effets de manches pour déstabiliser l'adversaire à la grande joie des amateurs. Ce best-seller est sans nul doute à l'origine du renouveau du thriller judiciaire aux États-Unis. --Claude Mesplède Bon Etat‎

‎First edition, first printing of one of the most beloved and widely read novels of the 19th century. With Ivanhoe Walter Scott gave birth to the historical novel and it is credited with the revival of courtly romance novels and medievialism"" Cardinal John Henry Newman claimed that Scott ""had first turned men's minds in the direction of the middle ages"".The legendary Robin Hood, in the novel initially known under the name of Locksley, is also a character in the story, as are his ""merry men"", including Friar Tuckand and Little John. The character that Scott gave to Robin Hood in Ivanhoe helped shape the modern notion of this figure as a cheery, decent, patriotic and noble outlaw.Ivanhoe was as much a success with the critics as it was with the reading public. Ivanhoe sold at an astonishing rate. Within less than two weeks, the entire first printing of 10,000 copies was sold out and the demand for more copies kept going up. Translated into numerous languages, it marked the beginning of Scott's European literary adventure and the emergence of the historical novel as an international phenomenon.Ivanhoe was the first novel in which Scott adopted a purely English subject, portraying the enmity of Saxons and Normans during the reign of Richard I (1189-99), a time when the English nobility was overwhelmingly Norman. ""Various explanations have been offered for Scott's decision to turn to medieval England. J. G. Lockhart in his Memoirs of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart. (1837-38) suggests that it may have been sparked by the 'after-dinner conversation' of his friend William Clerk which first drew Scott's attention to racial tensions in post-Norman Conquest England. Clerk noted how our names for livestock generally have Anglo-Saxon origins (e.g. sheep, pig, cow) which are exchanged for Anglo-French terms once they are prepared for the table (e.g. mutton, pork, beef)."" (Edinburg University Library, Centre for Research Collections).""But if relatively few modern readers have actually opened the pages of Ivanhoe, the eighth work in the original sequence, scarcely any will be unfamiliar with a title that still carries, faintly but irremovably, the aura of the immense fame achieved on its first publication in in 1819 and subsequently maintained through its role as model for innumerable works of historical fiction published in all part of the world during the succeeding century.""

‎Exhibition catalogue for major retrospective curated by Dr Yvonne Scott. Texts by Christina Kennedy, Dorothy Walker, Raymund Ryan, and Michael Wilson. Textes en anglais. 7June–10 August 2002 Patrick Scott is, without doubt, one of Ireland's most significant exponents of pure abstraction art. This retrospective exhibition at the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, previously held at the Hugh Lane Municipal Art Gallery, Dublin, brings together works from Scott's extensive and prolific career. Scott's formal training as an architect remains a reference in all his work from his early representational works, in the 1940's and 1950's, of still lifes and landscapes through to his seminal works from the late 1960's represented by the extensive Gold paintings series. The exhibition also reflects Scott's exploration of a diverse range of art forms including tapestries, screens and Tables for Meditation. Born in Kilbrittan, Co. Cork in 1921, Patrick Scott exhibited in the first Irish Exhibition of Living Artists in 1941 and qualified as an architect in 1945. Working for leading Irish Architect Michael Scott for fifteen years Scott devoted himself fully to art in 1960. By which time he had already established a considerable reputation representing Ireland at the Guggenheim International both in 1958 and 1960 and the XXX Venice Biennale. This exhibition is a celebration of Patrick Scott's national and international career and is accompanied by a colour illustrated catalogue with essays commissioned specifically for the exhibition. The exhibition runs concurrently with Michael Warren: light, gravity and distance from Friday 7 June - Saturday 10 August. Anne Boddaert (Exhibitions Officer) ‎
