within linear-programming framework. Originally published in 1976
Our global literary field is fluid and exists in a state of
constant evolution. Contemporary fiction in French has become a
polycentric and transnational field of vibrant and varied
experimentation; the collapse of the distinction between 'French'
and 'Francophone' literature has opened up French writing to a
world of new influences and interactions. In this collection,
renowned scholars provide thoughtful close readings of a whole
range of genres, from graphic novels to crime fiction to the
influence of television and film, to analyse modern French fiction
in its historical and sociological context. Allowing students of
contemporary French literature and culture to situate specific
works within broader trends, the volume provides an engaging,
global and timely overview of contemporary fiction writing in
French, and demonstrates how our modern literary world is more
complex and diverse than ever before.

Russel Williams is one of the most remarkable enlightened spiritual
teachers of our time. After an early life of extreme
hardship-leaving school at the age of 11, and becoming an orphan
shortly afterwards-he underwent a spiritual awakening at the age of
29. Since the late 1950s, he has been a spiritual teacher, and is
still actively teaching now, at the age of 94. Previously, Russel
has avoided publicity and never published any writings or
transcripts of his talks, preferring to work quietly with small
groups. This is the first time any details of his teachings or of
his life have appeared in print. This book is partly a record of
his teachings, and partly also the story of his extraordinary life.
Working with well-known spiritual author Steve Taylor-who has
attended Russel's meetings regularly since the 1990s-Russel has
created a profound text which will surely become known as a classic
of spiritual literature.
