Summary:
Many years have passed since architect Andrea Ponsi settled in Florence, and still he feels he does not fully comprehend this mysterious city. The way Florence eludes understanding, however, can be an opportunity — to keep seeking, to keep exploring. Ponsi’s Florence is endlessly suggestive. His tour of the city is one of continually shifting light and perspective, of stunning symmetry and an even more compelling asymmetry, of sudden transitions from bustling streets to the most perfect silence. While Ponsi does consider such celebrated sites as the Piazza Santa Croce, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Duomo, the book is a decidedly personal view of Florence. The author notes the city’s recurring geometry — the square courtyards, triangular spires, octagonal plaques and pillars — and marvels at a room almost too big to be called a room. He views the city from various terraces and likens the expanse of rising and falling rooftops to ocean waves. Here is Florence as labyrinth, possessing a medieval density that is relieved only by the sudden views of sky framed by its piazzas. Ponsi shows us a six-street intersection and ponders the abundance of acute angles, both indoors and out, in this city of infinite corners. In Florence, humans and buildings commingle. The author equates haircuts and changes of clothes with fresh coats of paint and re-shingling jobs, and contemplates the way a human hand, feeling its way down a city block, adds to the patina of a stucco wall. Ponsi sees the city itself as a living body, through whose veins its inhabitants course.

Summary:
Peu de boroughs de New York ont l'indépendance d'esprit et la personnalité de Brooklyn, royaume de Spike Lee, Paul Auster et Hubert Selby Jr. En vingt nouvelles, Brooklyn Noir offre un panorama des différentes communautés qui y vivent : rastas et juifs hassidiques, flics irlandais et rappeurs, Coney Island babies et gangsters de Little Odessa. Un melting-pot de langages, d'origines, de classes sociales, empreint de l'inimitable atmosphère brooklynite, désinvolte et décalée. « Les histoires racontées ici sont aussi variées que le quartier lui-même, mais similaires de la façon la plus importante qui soit : comme le sait n'importe quel érudit de bar à gin de Flatbush, ce qui compte, c'est de raconter une bonne histoire. » Tim McLoughlin

Summary:
Publié pour la première fois en 1809 sous le nom d'auteur fictif de Diedrick Knickerbocker, Histoire de New York connut immédiatement un immense succès et fit de Washington Irving le premier écrivain américain de renommée internationale ; il constitue en cela l'acte de naissance officiel de la littérature américaine. Ironie de l'histoire, ce livre, pour lequel l'auteur avait réalisé des recherches approfondies, fut au XIXe siècle l'une des sources majeures dont s'inspirèrent les historiens de la New York de la période hollandaise. C'est donc l'occasion de découvrir une époque méconnue de New York, celle de sa fondation, mais aussi de saisir les échos de la vie politique des Etats-Unis au temps de Jefferson. La présente édition est une version révisée d'une traduction française anonyme de 1827, pour la première fois rééditée, et augmentée pour tenir compte de modifications apportées ultérieurement par Washington Irving.
