Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is die geliefde skrywer van Oskar en die Pienk Tannie en Monsieur Ibrahim en die Blomme van die Koran. In Madame Pylinska en die Geheim van Chopin vertel Schmitt die vermaaklike en dikwels roerende verhaal van sy lesse by ‘n Poolse klavieronderwyseres, Madame Pylinska.
Sy ‘Saterdae saam met Madame Pylinska’ sluit ook lesse in oor die geskiedenis van Pole en komponiste wat vir die klavier geskryf het, veral Chopin en Liszt. Ander onvergeetlike karakters in die verhaal is Schmitt se Tante Aime, aan wie hy sy liefde vir die klavier en veral Chopin te danke het, en Madame Pylinska se katte, vernoem na (of genkarneer deur?) beroemde Chopinpianiste soos Alfred Cortot, Arthur Rubinstein en Vladimir Horowitz.
Dit is ook die verhaal van Schmitt se ontdekking van waar sy eintlike talent l: nie by die uitvoering van Chopin nie, maar by die skryf van kortverhale, romans en dramas.

Noam is a young man when the Flood wreaks havoc on the world,
destroying the peaceful lakeside village he called home, and
turning his whole life upside down. Destined to live forever as an
immortal, Noam travels through the centuries in search of the
meaning of life, and the events which shaped who we have become
today. Paradises Lost is the first installment of Eric-Emmanuel
Schmitt’s monumental project of recounting the history of
humanity, the fruits of more than thirty years of research. The
first in a series, and in the form of a stylistic novel much like
Yuval Noah Harari crossed with Alexandre Dumas. Schmitt combines
his scientific, religious and philosophical research to propel
readers from one world to another, and from pre-history to today.

Humbug! On a cobblestone street in London, on a cold Christmas Eve,
the wealthy, greedy Ebenezer Scrooge is staying late at work at his
"counting-house," keeping his clerk, poor Bob Cratchit, busy and
cold and away from his family. But little does Scrooge know that
his old business partner, Jacob Marley - dead for seven years - is
about to pay him a ghostly visit! His intention: to warn Scrooge
that three spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and
future, will be soon coming to see him, in order to convince him to
change his ways before it's too late! As Scrooge comes to see the
mistakes he's made, as only the three spirits can show him, he
realises that nothing is better than being loved by his family and
his fellow people. In this gorgeously illustrated instant-hardcover
classic, the true meaning of Christmas is brought to life!
This groundbreaking book offers a compelling articulation of the
right of access to justice for individuals facing human rights
violations by international organizations. Following an examination
of the human rights obligations of a variety of international
organizations, the author scrutinizes their dispute settlement
mechanisms as well as the conflict between their immunities and the
right of access to justice before national jurisdictions.
Highlighting recent examples, such as the cholera outbreak in
Haiti, this book reveals how individual victims of human rights
violations by international organizations are frequently left in
the cold, due to the lack of an independent, impartial dispute
settlement mechanism before which they can file such claims.
Considering both global mechanisms and current mechanisms
established by international organisations such as administrative
jurisdictions for employment-related disputes, Pierre Schmitt finds
that they either are not competent or that they have a limited
scope. He concludes by offering normative proposals addressed both
to international organizations and to national judges confronted
with such cases. Offering a wealth of empirical and practical
wisdom, this book will appeal to scholars in public international
law and human rights. It is also a must-read for practitioners,
judges and legal advisers working in the field and will prove a
useful tool for national authorities negotiating immunity
conventions with international organizations.

This book describes the evolution of French defence policy since
the end of the Cold War. For the past thirty years there have been
significant changes to French defence policy as a result of several
contextual evolutions. Changes include shifts in the global balance
of power, new understandings of the notion of international
security, economic downturns, and developments in European
integration. Yet despite these changes, the purpose of France’s
grand strategy and its main principles have remained remarkably
stable over time. This book identifies the incentives,
representations and objectives of French defence policy The authors
examine the general mechanisms that influence policy change and
military transformation in democracies, the importance of
status-seeking in international relations, the processes of
strategy-making by a middle power, and the dilemmas and challenges
of security cooperation. By doing so the book raises a number of
questions related to the ways states adjust (or not) their security
policies in a transformed international system. This book makes
French-language sources available to non-French-speaking readers
and contributes to a better understanding of a country that is at
the forefront of Europe’s external action. This book will be of
great interest to students of defence studies, French politics,
military studies, security studies, and IR in general.
Taking a fresh look at the state of autobiography as a genre, The
Phenomenology of Autobiography: Making it Real takes a deep dive
into the experience of the reader. Dr. Schmitt argues that current
trends in the field of life writing have taken the focus away from
the text and the initial purpose of autobiography as a means for
the author to communicate with a reader and narrate an experience.
The study puts autobiography back into a communicational context,
and putting forth the notion that one of the reasons why life
writing can so often be aesthetically unsatisfactory, or difficult
to distinguish from novels, is because it should not be considered
as a literary genre, but as a modality with radically different
rules and means of evaluation. In other words, not only is
autobiography radically different from fiction due to its
referentiality, but, first and foremost, it should be read
differently.
This book reflects on the questions raised by the European Election
Study 2004 whose analytical focus was on the legitimacy of EU
politics after Eastern enlargement. It also assesses the dynamics
and the contents of the campaign, on the determinants of the
extremely low turnout in the new countries, and on the reasons of
voter choice in West and East. The book also examines the first
European Parliament election after the post-communist countries of
Eastern Europe joined the European Union. The central question is:
what has changed? Are the voters in the new member countries
different and if so, why? Did the Union suffer from a loss of
democratic legitimacy after Eastern enlargement? Each chapter is
empirical-analytical; most are based on the post-election surveys
of the group that were conducted in all but one of the 25 member
countries, others focus on the results of content analyses of news
media and party manifestos. This book was published as a special
issue of the Journal of European Integration.
This book offers the first comprehensive, comparative and coherent
perspective on parliamentary candidates in contemporary
representative democracy. Based on the unique database of the
'Comparative Candidate Survey' project which interrogated
parliamentary candidates in more than 30 countries, it fills a
significant lacuna by focusing on the thousands of ordinary
candidates that participate in national elections. It examines who
the candidates are in terms of their socio-demographic background
and political career patterns, how they were selected by their
parties, what their policy preference are and whether these are
congruent to those held by their voters, who they seek to represent
and how they intend to do so once elected, and what their visions
are on representative democracy and party government. Last but not
least, it investigates how they go about reaching out to their
potential voters during the election campaign. This book will be of
key interest to scholars and students of political parties and
party politics, political elites, political communication,
political participation, elections, theories of democracy and
representation, legislative studies, voting behaviour and more
broadly to European politics, as well as to political and policy
professionals throughout Europe.

Karl Freund is the most important film pioneer you've never heard
of. From the silent film era to the rise of the American sitcom,
Freund was there at every turn. Countless camera techniques can be
traced back to his "unchained camera." His lighting setup for
filming I Love Lucy live remains standard to this day. He was the
man behind the lens for many influential and award-winning films,
from Metropolis to The Good Earth to Key Largo. This biography is
the first book-length look at one of the world's greatest
cameramen. It details the events of his early life, his entrance
into the world of film, his work in both Germany and America, and
his legacy, while also putting his life and films into the
historical context of the 20th century. The author gives particular
attention to Freund's role in the early horror films Der Golem,
Dracula, Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mummy, and Mad Love.
