  • No One to Meet - Imitation and Originality in the Songs of Bob Dylan - cover

    No One to Meet - Imitation and...

    The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition. 
     
     
     
    In lucid prose, Raphael Falco demonstrates the similarity between what Renaissance writers called imitatio and the way Dylan borrows, digests, and transforms traditional songs. Although Dylan's lyrical postures might suggest a post-Romantic, "avant-garde" consciousness, No One to Meet shows that Dylan's creative process borrows from and expands the methods used by classical and Renaissance authors. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on numerous examples, including Dylan's previously unseen manuscript excerpts and archival materials, Falco illuminates how the ancient process of poetic imitation, handed down from Greco-Roman antiquity, allows us to make sense of Dylan's musical and lyrical technique. By placing Dylan firmly in the context of an age-old poetic practice, No One to Meet deepens our appreciation of Dylan's songs and allows us to celebrate him as what he truly is: a great writer.

    Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

    Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field.

    Recalling some of the most memorable escapades ever conducted in the Canadian Arctic with bush planes, Flying to Extremes takes place in the late ’60s and early ’70s from a base at Yellowknife, in the heart of the Northwest Territories.Beyond recounting so many near-mishaps, this book is also about colourful people: the trappers, prospectors, miners, adventurers and gold-ingot thieves who constituted the fauna at the main bar in Yellowknife in those days. For Arctic dreamers, there was always the flight to the Nahanni River, with its Deadman’s Valley, hot springs, tales of lost or dead prospectors, the many airplanes crashed in pursuit of gold, and much more Nahanni lore.This entertaining book recollects Prinet’s adventures as a young man while capturing the humour, beauty, danger and unique culture of northern communities, in the dramatic landscape of the Canadian Arctic. Readers familiar with the region and those who can only dream of visiting it will both find this title a nostalgic and captivating read.

    Before the rise of the mighty Kanem-Bornu dynasty, the vast expanse of the Sahel was home to diverse tribes and scattered settlements that laid the groundwork for what would become one of the Sahara’s longest-lasting empires. In this early era, communities thrived in a challenging environment where survival hinged on adaptability and a profound connection with the land. The region, bridging the fertile savannahs and the arid expanse of the desert, nurtured a mosaic of cultures that developed sophisticated social structures long before centralized power emerged. 
    The early inhabitants relied on oral traditions to pass down stories of heroic ancestors, migrations, and the intimate bond they shared with nature. These narratives, rich in symbolism and local lore, served as the cultural bedrock for later generations. They recounted times of plentiful harvests and the strategic use of scarce water resources, highlighting the ingenuity and resilience of communities that innovated in agriculture and irrigation. Such stories not only preserved the memory of a once-abundant land but also inspired the collaborative spirit that would be essential for forming larger political entities.  
    Over time, as environmental challenges and the need for security intensified, these small communities began to coalesce into broader tribal alliances. The bonds formed through intermarriage, trade, and mutual defense gradually paved the way for the emergence of rudimentary governance structures. Early leaders, often revered for their wisdom and ability to resolve conflicts, began to assert influence over wider territories, laying the foundational framework for centralized authority. These leaders capitalized on the established trade networks that crisscrossed the region, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies that further solidified communal bonds.
