40 éves lettem. Bibliai értelemben – ha egy emberéletet 80 esztend?ben mérünk – eljutottam az élet felére. Ezért a cím: Félélet. 6 k?tet, kisregények sorozata után elgondolkodtam, miért is írok, hogyan jutottam el addig a pontig, amikor tollat vettem a kezembe. Végül ráj?ttem, és magam is meglep?dtem, hogy az els? nyomtatásban megjelent írásom 1996-ból való, ha innen indulok, akkor az életem felében írtam. Mindenfélét: verset, cikket, naplót, t?rténeteket. Ezekb?l állt ?ssze ez, az életem els? felét ?sszegz? k?tet. Nem változtattam a rég leírt szavakon, gondolatokon, akkor és ott jók voltak, ma is megfelelnek. Sokan kísértek az úton. K?sz?net jár mindazoknak, akiket illet, hogy eddig eljutottam. Indulok tovább. 2017. október 13. Csüll?g Ferenc

The poetry of Walter Savage Landor spans the final years of the Enlightenment to the greatest achievements of the Victorian Empire. Landor is now regarded as a ‘poet’s poet’, whose sensitive and beautiful poetry won the admiration of Browning, Yeats, Ezra Pound and Robert Frost.

Augustin Fr??il? (1953-2010), scriitor ?i cantautor, a fost un apropiat al lui Nichita St?nescu ?i membru al Cenaclului de Luni. A publicat ?n cele mai importante reviste culturale, iar ?ntre 1991 ?i 2010 a fost redactor-?ef al Editurii ALLFA, departamentul de literatur? al Grupului Editorial ALL. C?r?i publicate: Gramatica mor?ii, poezie, 1995 (premiul USR), El-Roi, poezie, 1996, Plaja nudi?tilor, poezie, 1998. Dintre c?r?ile traduse de Augustin Fr??il? din englez?: Legende franceze, Pove?ti japoneze, 1001 de nop?i, Moby Dick, 100 de minuni ale lumii, 100 de ora?e ale lumii, 100 de muzee ale lumii, Islamul ?i Vestul. A tradus poezie din limbile francez?, italian? ?i spaniol?. C?r?ile sale au fost traduse ?n german?, croat?, greac?, spaniol?, englez?. Ca muzician, a ?nregistrat ?i editat discul O recitare, 1982, muzic? original? pe versurile lui Nichita St?nescu, ?i dou? CD-uri ?n 2005: Mai sunt pentru c? el mai este ?i A?a am tr?it. Al treilea CD, Balad? pentru Transilvania, c?ntece originale pe versurile lui A. Fr??il?, a ap?rut ?n 2007. Voce muzical? ?i poetic? unic? ?n literatura rom?n? contemporan?, el declara ?ntr-un tulbur?tor, ultim interviu publicat ?n revista Luceaf?rul: ?N-am f?cut niciodat? nici cel mai mic efort de a cultiva vreo rela?ie, m-am l?sat doar ?n voia valului – asum?ndu-mi riscurile de rigoare, – am l?sat destinul s? lucreze pentru mine, s?-mi arate dac? trebuia s? fiu acolo ori nu. Asta m-a costat, ?ns?: imagine, notorietate, carier?, via?? de familie, via?? social?... n-a fost zi s? nu pl?tesc pre?ul dezordinii, aventurii mele existen?iale.“

Lumin?, ?ncet este o antologie care reune?te cele mai valoroase poeme scrise de Marian Dr?ghici – un poet atipic, greu de integrat ?ntr-o anume genera?ie, de?i, structural, pare s? r?m?n? afiliat unei ontologii postmoderniste. Marian Dr?ghici scrie o poezie cerebral?, fragmentar?, ironic? ?i autoironic?, din care nu lipsesc ?ns? m?rcile unui vizionarism ?bine temperat“. De?i poezia din Lumin?, ?ncet e mai degrab? geometric?, ?n care, totu?i, abund? artele poetice, se poate remarca aici – cum sus?ine ?i criticul literar Dan Cristea – ??mbinarea dintre religia poeziei ?i poezia religiei“.

Selec?ie de Teodor Dun? ?O parte a criticii a socotit c? Mazilescu este un ?poet de limbaj?, elaborat, rafinat, atras de artificiu, nu cu scopul exacerb?rii retorice a limbajului, ci, din contr?, pentru configurarea unui minimalism poetic, prin distorsiuni sintactice, blancuri, omisiuni, ?ntreruperi etc. ce au rolul de a revela o insolitare suplimentar? a limbajului poetic. Eugen Negrici caracteriza lirica lui Mazilescu prin formula fericit?: ?o stilistic? a eschivei?. Virgil Mazilescu trebuie privit, ?ns?, nu doar ca un poet al limbajului, oric?t de ?ncifrat, ci ?i ca un poet al fiin?ei, cu un discurs liric ce are o miz? clar ontologic?, dispus? chiar ?ntr-un registru neoexpresionist, un discurs ce ?ncorporeaz? ?n sine ‘?marile teme? ale modernit??ii: moartea, nebunia, suferin?a, Poezia cu ?majuscul?? ?i care percepe ?mistica poeziei ca instrument de m?ntuire, gravitatea rostirii? (Mircea C?rt?rescu)’.“ – Iulian Boldea

Camil L. A. Camil este un alt nume. Persoana din spatele lui Camil L. A. Camil nu-?i asum? responsabilitatea celor scrise, de?i voi crede?i c? i-ar apar?ine de drept. ?Probabil”, g?nde?te acea persoan?, poeziile scrise de Camil L. A. Camil sunt retu?uri ?n trans?.” Eu nu sunt la?, dar nu mai ?tiu unde ?i c?nd am scris cele ce urmeaz?! S? fie uitarea singurul meu viciu?

O carte pe s?pt?m?n? reprezint? norma decent? pentru un critic de ?nt?mpinare, cu at?t mai mult cu c?t el mai scrie ?i studii sau eseuri, ??i duce copilul la ?coal?, plimb? c?inele pe trasee lungi, dinainte calculate, petrece mult timp printre studen?i la cursuri ?i seminarii, formeaz? oameni tineri ?i ?ncurajeaz? debuturi, fiind prezent c?teva ore zilnic ?i pe Internet, pentru a prelua comenzi de colaborare sau ca s? onoreze unele mai vechi, cu scaden?e ?n general respectate. Cartea de fa?? prezint? jum?tatea pedanta, disciplinat? a celui care a scris, ca un program personal de evaziune, Visul lupului de step?: 52 de texte, dedicate scriitorilor rom?ni, formeaz? aici un ?an ideal“ consacrat literaturii recente, compus din respect pentru munca altora, din admira?ie ?i entuziasm, dar ?i din responsabilitatea critic? a disocierilor lucide, tran?ante, atunci c?nd cazurile o impun. Practic?nd cu pl?cere cronica de ?nt?mpinare de mai bine de 30 de ani, autorul c?r?ii de fa?? ?tie prea bine c? nu laude a?teapt? ?n primul r?nd scriitorul rom?n din partea criticului s?u, ci ?n?elegerea obiectiv? a demersului literar ?i onestitate. ?n consecin??, se prea cuvine ca recenzentul s? r?m?n? un om marginal ?i s? priveasc? vedetele din penumbr?. ?n ultim? instan??, critica de ?nt?mpinare devine stil prin coregrafia subtil? a distan??rilor reciproce: a scriitorului de sine ?nsu?i prin intermediul criticului s?u, ?i a acestuia din urm? de propria sa fixa?ie, prin mijlocirea c?r?ilor mereu noi pe care le cite?te.

O edi?ie aniversar?, dedicat? unuia dintre cei mai mari creatori europeni, realizat? cu participarea unor importante personalit??i ale culturii rom?ne (Nicolae Balota, Eugen Simion, Nicolae Manolescu etc.); edi?ie special? ce con?ine o bogat? iconografie. Textele sunt menite s? omagieze o legend? vie a literaturii rom?ne – ctitor, al?turi de Liviu Rebreanu ?i Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu, al romanului modern.

De ce fr minotaur Fiindc literatura, din perspectiva mea, este un labirint, iar naintarea n ea, una plin de pericole, topite ns n pura iridiscen. Un labirint, dar unul radios, menit s atrag atenia asupra infinitii de jocuri ascunse n textul literar. Jocuri care te prind (mai bine-zis te seduc), doar ca s te poi elibera, s fii vzut n mijloc, schind un salut triumfator – poate spre nite prieteni nevzui. Cu nimic altceva n jur dect pietre ncinse, ncrustate cu nestemate. Nevoit s mergi mereu nainte, lai averea asta altcuiva, n-o poi lua cu tine – sensul e s iei din labirint cu totul nud (neatins de prejudeci ori de cliee), fr cicatrici literare, literatura s fie pentru tine o poart, nu o temni. Ea poart, ntr-adevr, n sine, aceast imens generozitate. Niciun minotaur care s te sfie, doar picurul de miere al bucuriei lecturii, pe lespezile arse de soare: suntem la amiaz, ateni, vigili (minotaurul ar fi doar creaia noastr). Senzaia de deschidere druit de literatur st deci la originea acestei cri, mai degrab un sinuos autoportret de cititor (nu att narcisiac, ct fidel siei) dect o lucrare sistematic. Un chip caleidoscopic, conturat din capricii reunite, firesc, ca rsplata pentru a fi urmrit cu ncredere traiectoria neregulat a lecturii – sinuozitate nelipsit totui de un sim al unitii, tradus n meditaia continu asupra unor noiuni precum familiaritate i alteritate, a relaiona ori a insolita.“ – Simona Grazia Dima

Lidia Lazu a scris aceste poeme. i pe urm a uitat c le-a scris. Le-a gsit pe marginea unei ferestre, ciugulite de psrile cerului, cu frumuseea pierdut pentru totdeauna – c toate lucrurile sortite s ntrein miracolul existenei. Acesta este mitul n jurul cruia ar putea s se consolideze o ntreag oper poetic. Eu cred c nici unul dintre poeii romni nu a reuit s construiasc o asemenea imagine, care ntr-adevr s ne reprezinte ntr-un asemenea chip i ntr-o asemenea msur. Lidia Lazu scrie din preaplinul firii sale. (...) Ea face parte dintre acei oameni care nu scriu din pricina slbiciunilor lor, ci din pricina prea multelor daruri cu care a fost nzestrat de Dumnezeu.“ – Mircea Ciobanu

Again and again, in Denver Welte's exquisite Dew Drops, poems startle us into awareness of the understated, the nearly always invisible and the marvelous; those aspects of life that come under the rubrics of loneliness and joy. Welte combines a light lyricism with a postmodern sensibility for life. This collection was gathered from a one time weekly blog that appeared over four years. They are arranged in date order rather than by theme, so that you may witness the poet's growth.

It is not the purpose of this work to write a treatise on instrumentation or to prepare a pedagogical analysis of orchestration only, but rather to trace the evolu-tion of the orchestra and of orchestration in connection with the history of music proper. Special emphasis will be laid upon what may be termed the IMPELLING FORCES to which the development of orchestration is due. This necessitates a considerable repetition of familiar facts that do not lend themselves to further original treatment. The restatement of such facts, however, would seem to form an indispensable background for the main theme, which is thereby exposed with all its attending phases of logical evolution. In addition to extended studies of orchestral scores themselves, the standard works of Berlioz, Geva?rt, Riemann, Parry, and others have, as a matter of course, been referred to. The subject under discussion has already been admirably handled by Lavoix in his voluminous work entitled "Histoire de L'Instrumentation," but it was unquestionably done through French glasses, and the scores of not one German romanticist are submitted to careful analysis beyond those of Weber and Wagner. "Parsifal" had not been produced at the time when Lavoix's book went to press, nor had such representative composers as Brahms, Saint-Sa?ns, Tschaikowsky, Dvorak then won their full meed of recognition. It is obvious, therefore, that the orchestration especially of the nineteenth century offers a fertile field for further profitable research. Again, the present writer is not aware of the existence of any comprehensive work in the English language upon the history of the orchestra and of orchestration. Throughout these pages the achievements of the more prominent composers are set forth in such manner as to indicate not only the distinctive features of their orchestration but of their general creative ability as well. In each case, the general style of composition and its significance as a contribution to musical literature are first enlarged upon. This is followed by an examination of the differentiated treatment of the strings, the wood, the brass, presented in logical sequence. A final analysis is then made of the individual method of orchestration as a whole, together with its relative value in the evolution of orchestration. In the Appendix to this book will be found a few musical illustrations selected from representative orchestral scores. LOUIS ADOLPHE COERNE. Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A.April 30, 1905.

Bu kitapta Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin Atatürk'ten sonra gelen en ba?ar?l? lideri Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n siyasi hayat? ve ?zellikle icraat?n ba??nda oldu?u Ba?bakanl?k d?nemi yer almaktad?r. Ba?bakanl?k d?neminde ya?anan siyasi ve gündemi olu?turan olaylar kronolojik olarak s?ralanm??t?r. Bu eserde "Ba?ar?l? bir siyaset?i nas?l olunur?" sorusunun cevab?, 13 y?ll?k Ba?bakanl?k yapt??? g?revinde nas?l ba?ar?l? oldu?unun yan?t?, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n hayat?ndan kesitler ve Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n farkl? konulardaki de?erlendirmeleri ve g?rü?leri vard?r. Ayr?ca Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n karakteri, ald??? ?düller ve yabanc?lar?n g?zünden Recep Tayyip Erdo?an hakk?nda yorumlar yer almaktad?r. "Yeni Türkiye" olarak tan?mlad??? Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n Türkiye'sinden bizim almam?z gereken dersler de elbette vard?r...Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, 26 ?ubat 1954'te ?stanbul'un Kas?mpa?a semtinde ailesinin ü?üncü ?ocu?u olarak do?du. Ahmet Erdo?an'?n Tenzile Erdo?an'la olan ikinci evlili?inden bir erkek ?ocu?u, Recep Tayyip dünyaya geldi. Babas?n?n, bir ?nceki evlili?inden iki ?ocu?u daha vard?. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n biri k?z d?rt karde?i vard?. Deniz Hatlar?'nda k?y? kaptan? olarak ?al??an "Reis Kaptan" lakapl? baba Ahmet Erdo?an, o?luna babas?n?n ad? olan Tayyip ad?n? koydu. Eski takvime g?re Recep ay?nda do?an bebe?e Recep ad? da verildi. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n ailesi, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an 13 ya??ndayken Rize'nin eski ad?yla Potamya yeni ad?yla Güneysu il?esinden, yokluk ve i?sizlik nedeniyle ?stanbul'un Kas?mpa?a semtine g?? etti. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an'?n babas? Sahil Güvenlik Te?kilat?nda g?revli oldu?u i?in ?ocuklu?u Rize'de ge?ti. Babas?, o d?nemin “?irket-i Hayriye”si günümüzün Denizyollar?'nda kaptanl?k yapt? ve ve k?y? kaptanl???ndan emekli oldu. Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, o günleri anlat?rken babas?n?n ?stanbul'un varo?lar?nda ko?turdu?unu belirterek, gelecekte nas?l bir ya?am olmas? gerekti?ini ?u s?zlerle ifade ediyordu:“O ?ilelerin i?erisinden geldik. Onlar da oralarda b?yle merdiven altlar?nda odalarda ya?ad?lar. Bunlar? bana a?layarak anlat?rd? rahmetli babam. Biz oralardan geldik. Ama oralarda kalamay?z. Gelecek ku?aklar?m?za da biz oralar? ?rnek olarak veririz ama ‘Orada kal.’ diyemeyiz. Bunlar? ya?ad???m?za g?re gelecek ku?aklara biz ?ok daha farkl? bir Türkiye b?rakmak zorunday?z. O yavrular?m?z ?ok daha farkl? yeti?mek durumunda. E?er ben o?lumu, torunumu bilimde, sanatta her alanda ?ok daha ileri g?türebiliyorsam kendimi ?ok daha ba?ar?l? bir baba ve dede olarak g?rebilirim. E?er g?türemiyorsam o zaman ba?ar?s?z?m, olaya b?yle bakaca??z. Onun i?in bizim bir günümüz di?erine e?it olmamal?. Dün bugünden geri kalmal?. Yar?n bugünden ?ok daha ileri olmal?. Mevlana diyor ya ’Dün dünde kald? canca??z?m yeni bir ?eyler yapmak, s?ylemek laz?m.’ … ??te biz bunu ba?armak durumunday?z.”
