Vrnd s fac un dar poeilor romni – de la care n tineree am primit inestimabile daruri, Nichita, Cezar, Grigore – am ndrznit o versiune romneasc a intraductibilelor i abstruselor poeme rilkeene. Mostre supreme ale unui discurs poetic somnambulic, desfidnd nu numai logica i sintaxa curent dar i cea poetic, aceste Elegii… sunt, cred eu, un vrf dac nu un monument al spiritualitii moderne europene. Sunt fericit ca limba romn a strmoilor mei i a marilor poei romni a primit i a putut cuprinde arta poetului austriac, ce se clatin i cuvnt ntr-un aer de o tensiune insuportabil, ntre Pindar i Holderlin, un monument de vrf inegalabil, cu siguran, al creaiei europene.“ (Nicolae Breban)

On the second day of July in the year 1863 the Civil War in America was at its height. Late in the preceding month Lee had turned his face northward, and, with an army of a hundred thou-sand Confederate soldiers at his back, had marched up into Penn-sylvania. There was little to hinder his advance. Refraining, by reason of strict orders, from wanton destruction of property, his soldiers nevertheless lived on the rich country through which they passed. York and Carlisle were in their grasp. Harrisburg was but a day’s march away, and now, on this second day of July, flushed with fresh victories, they had turned and were giving desperate battle, through the streets and on the hills of Gettysburg, to the Union armies that had followed them. The old commonwealth was stirred as she had not been stirred before since the fall of Sumter. Every town and village in the state responded quickly to the governor’s call for emergency troops to defend the capital city. Mount Hermon, already depleted by gen-erous early enlistments, and by the draft of 1862, gathered to-gether the bulk of the able-bodied men left in the village and its surroundings, and sent them forth in defense of the common-wealth. Not that Mount Hermon was in especial danger from Lee’s invasion, far from it. Up in the northeastern corner of the state, on a plateau of one of the low foot-hills of the Moosic range, sheltered by the mountains at its back, it was well protected, both by reason of distance and location, from the advancing foe. But Mount Hermon was intensely patriotic. In the days preceding the Revolution the sturdy pioneers from Connecticut had met the equally sturdy settlers from the domain of Penn, and on this plateau they had fought out their contentions and settled their differences; the son of the Pennamite had married the daughter of the Yankee; and the new race, with love of country tingeing every drop of its blood a deeper red, had stayed on and possessed the land. So, on this July day, when the armies of North and South were striving and struggling with each other in bloody combat back and forth across the plain and up the hills of Gettysburg, Mount Hermon’s heart beat fast. But it was not for themselves that these people were anxious. It was for the fathers, husbands, sons, lovers in that army with which Meade, untried and unproven, was endeavoring to match the strategy and strength of Lee. News of the first day’s skirmishing had reached the village, and it was felt that a great battle was imminent. In the early evening, while the women were still busy at their household tasks, the men gathered at the post-office and the stores, eager for late news, anxious to discuss the situation as they had learned it. In the meantime the boys of the town had congregated on the village green to resume the military drills which, with more or less frequency, they had carried on during the summer. These drills were not wholly without serious intent. It was play, indeed; but, out of the ranks of these boys, three of the older ones had already gone to the front to fight real battles; and it was felt, by the men of the town, that the boys could not be too thoroughly imbued with the military spirit. So, on this July evening, wakened into new ardor by the news from Gettysburg, they had gathered to resume their nightly work—and play.There were thirty-three of them, ranging in years all the way from eight to eighteen. They were eager and enthusiastic. At the command to fall in there was much pushing and jostling, much striving for desirable places, and even the young captain, with great show of authority, could not quite adjust all differences to the complete satisfaction of his men.Before the confusion had wholly ceased, and while there were still awkward gaps in the ranks, a tall, straight, shy-mannered boy of seventeen, who had remained hitherto on the outskirts of the group, quietly slipped into one of the vacant places.

Cartea e ca o pies? de teatru alc?tuit? din personaje, parantezele autorului, dialoguri, secven?e, scene, acte, cu leg?tura necesar?, intre acestea. ?n treac?t fie spus, critica poate s? ?ntre?in? longevitatea operei, dac? are destul? vigoare ?i dac? opera e de calitate. Sunt vorbe optimiste la vremea Internetului care, deocamdat?, nu de?ine puterea controlului critic ?i nici nu se ?ntrev?d ?anse de aceast? natur?. Tocmai de aceea pericolul dispari?iei c?rt?ii de h?rtie pare anun?area unui cataclism. Noi mai credem ?n ceva. R?m?ne hot?r?t c? interpretarea critic?, pentru a fi c?t mai aproape de text, trebuie s? se asocieze cu "partea estetic?" a demersului, care e scriitura, citatul, descrierea ?i altele. O "conversa?ie", pe c?t posibil neretoric?.

Mai ales inteligena speculativ i iueala fixrii prioritilor n cmpul de idei au facut din Rzvan Voncu un critic de ntmpinare imposibil de ignorat n peisajul literar romnesc.“ (Eugen Negrici)O panoram literar a ultimului deceniu.

George Gissing est un auteur anglais estimé, dont les livres ont cependant été peu traduits et, souvent, relativement peu vendus, y compris dans sa contrée d'origine. Son ?uvre, comme sa biographie, est restée marginale, comme la plupart des écrivains, dont il a régulièrement décrit l'existence dans ses romans. Pourtant, il entretenait et dans une certaine mesure, en tant que sujet d'études, de recherche, entretient toujours des liens privilégiés avec la France, où il a passé les dernières années de sa vie. Revitrans fait revivre par la traduction en langue fran?aise des auteurs oubliés ou en marge, dont l'oeuvre ne trouve pas sa place dans l'édition classique. Cette brève nouvelle de Gissing, qu'on peut interpréter comme une forme de danse macabre, est sa première expérience, dont les suites dépendront des capacités du traducteur et des éventuelles réactions des lecteurs.

ncercarea de a ptrunde n magmele clocotirilor artistice este o ispitire mai veche a mea. Adncimile au n ele murmur de siren. Sigur a fost semea ncercarea mea i, probabil, neinspirat. Germinarea crii de fa mi pare acum un experiment al bucuriei. Doi preoi i doi slujitori ai literei, totodat doi duhovnici fiecare cu ucenicul su, au vrut s cltoreasc pentru o clip n inefabilul chenozelor, al deertrilor de sine. Nu tiu dac are armonie, mi este greu acum s precizez. Atunci prea c rezonm. Depun doar mrturie i gnd mulumitor c a fost o sear unic. (Preot Niculae Constantin)

A passenger onboard a fast-moving train glimpses a couple of brown horses in an unkempt field. She sees them again the next year, and the year after. She wonders if they are neglected or loved for by their owner. That small field may be the horses' last protection against a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse... * A short but haunting true story by Michèle Laframboise, Canadian multi-award winner author. A list of horse rescue centers, with sketches by the author, completes this 1200-word tale.?

Any mother-to-be has to waddle through a landmine of expectations! The true and humourous account of my valiant efforts at birthgiving… and the mounting guilt after I find out that my body can't produce more children. How did I became infertile? What wrong turn did I take? Could I have avoided the c-section? This short and quirky story will resonate with all the mothers crushed under the pressure of performance, by Michèle Laframboise. With sketches and pictures by the author's hand.

Am ales cazul de ruptur n evoluia unor exponeni proemineni din literatura romn actual, ruptura care a dus fie la impas, fie la regenerare. Pentru termenii conflictului un factor hotrtor l-a constituit n condiiile date epoca n formele ei de constrngere i de emulaie. Sunt convins c n alte circumstane ecuaia ar fi avut componente diferite. Nu sugerez c ar fi obligatorie restrngerea n ilustrarea pe care o propun, s-ar mai fi putut aduga cu aceeai ndreptite, recunosc, i alte aplicaii. Analizele nu sunt exhaustive, ele insist asupra unui fenomen caracteristic. Deruta ivit la unii pe traseu, parial sau total, s-a articulat pe planul angajrii civice i al nchegrii estetice. Trebuie s remarc o diferen n abordare, deoarece unii din cei selectai (G. Clinescu, M. Preda) nu mai sunt n via, aadar pentru ei e exclus posibilitatea unei schimbri de destin. A survenit pentru toi necesitatea unei racordri la orizontul epocii moderne, la presiunea raporturilor de for, la nvala dogmatismului, la ansele unei sincronizri cu Europa. Imperios necesar a fost lepdarea de prejudecile naionaliste i provinciale, ieirea din comarul ideologiei i al somaiei dure.“ – S. Damian

Citesc Azi cnt jazz cu acea curiozitate uor nesigur cu care intri ntr-o locuin necunoscut. Din holul de la intrare m izbete ordinea. Fiecare cuvnt e la locul lui. Fiecare sentimenrt aezat pe raftul potrivit... Totul cu finee, cu rafinament, de un gust ireproabil. Culmea, mi place ordinea asta, mie, care am trecut o via ntreag prin meandrele suprarealismului, prin absurdul celor mai derutante concluzii, prin combinaii imposibile dintre un scaun i o cifr, dintre ziua de joi i un pepene verde. Gata! Debutul n poezie al Mihaelei Stanciu. Parcurg, aadar, cartea Azi cnt jazz. Un titlu incitant prin nostalgia acelui l’éternel retour, prin inciziile rafinate pe care bisturiul unui chirurg-poet le face pe propria lui agonie, pe tcere, pe tot ce vine nechemat...ca i cum ar fi ceva normal pe pmnt,/ iar tu s n-ai umbrel/ s-i plac s amesteci picturile/cu gndurile de peste noapte dintr-o conversaie neterminat. O fat singur cnt jazz fr s clameze nimic, fr s spun nimic, cauzele nu trebuie aflate. O fat cnt jazz, dar nu cnt o fat, tcerea e cea care cnt. Tcerea asta uneori e foarte neleapt. Dar nelepciunea e o mare ofens pentru un poet, vei spune. Uite c nu e aa. Nora Iuga

Poeziile lui Giorgio Baffo (1694-1768), mentor al lui Casanova, sunt de o sinceritate dezarmant?. Un limbaj poetic picant, cu un efect direct asupra cititorului. Erotismul abund? ?n rostogoliri de imagini fierbin?i, iar sonetele autorului italian par o petrecere ?n rime, care iau peste picior bunele moravuri ale epocii.?F?r? Baffo, n?am avea idee de decaden?a voluptuoas? a Serenissimei Republici. Prin el, cunoa?tem via?a sexual? a Vene?iei, cu serb?ri, cu osterii, cu cazinouri, cu jocuri de noroc, cu dansatoare ?i cu c?lug?ri?e liber?tine“ – Guillaume Apollinaire

Volumul Marianei Damian reconstituie via?a celui mai iubit poet latin, Publius Ovidius Naso, ?n contextul istoric, politic ?i cultural al perioadei lui Augustus. Cartea este o radiografie am?nun?it? a fr?m?nt?rilor poetului roman ?n urma exil?rii sale la marginea imperiului, pe malul M?rii Negre, invit?ndu-i pe cititori la o relectur? a operei ovidiene din perspectiva motivelor ?nstr?in?rii, singur?t??ii ?i nostalgiei.

nainte de orice altceva, Poezia de la Gndirea este o carte despre slbiciunea conceptelor. Ce mai definesc azi cuvinte precum tradiionalism sau modernism ntre rzboaie, termenii au polarizat probabil toate disputele, nelsnd n stare de neutralitate aproape nimic. Nu-i vorba, nu ideologiile fac literatura. Iar cnd este vorba despre poezie, lucrurile sunt cu atat mai complicate. Or, privind napoi cu suspiciune, Mircea A. Diaconu realizeaz nu doar o descriere comparativa a principalelor constante ale poeziei de la Gndirea, ci si o anatomie – sceptic mcar – a conceptelor n disputa lor cu realitatea de fapt. Criticii conceptelor – dublate de o ncercare de refundamentare a lor – i rspunde o analiz minuioas, fr parti-pris-uri, a realitii de fapt. n distana aceasta, dintre concept i realitate, ptrunde ochiul deopotriv al istoricului i al criticului literar. Iar ceea ce rezult nu mai este o sum de adevruri apodictice, ci o proiecie hermeneutic fundamentat interogativ.

Nu ?tiu c?nd au trecut 15 ani. ?n mai 2000 nu m-am g?ndit o clip? unde voi fi peste 15 ani, ?tiam c? voi face acest ziar, dac? m? va ?ine Dumnezeu ?n via??, ?nc? un an, doi, zece, dar nu m-am v?zut o clip? m?car peste un num?r at?t de mare de ani. Pentru o publica?ie, de orice fel, 15 ani ?nseamn? enorm, aproape istorie, mai ales c?nd traverseaz? vremuri de criz?, cu fluctua?ii economice uria?e, cu schimb?ri politice care pot pune cap?t ?i celui mai minunat proiect.

Aproxima?ii o carte de critic? literar? ?n care autorul a ?nregistrat cele mai importante apari?ii din literatura rom?n? a ultimilor ani, ?n studii critice, cronici literare ?i eseuri care comenteaz? c?r?i, scriitori sau tendin?e ale momentului actual. Structurat? ?n trei cicluri, cartea lui Iulian Boldea se remarc? prin precizia formul?rilor, obiectivitatea enun?urilor ?i prin metodele critice adecvate valorificate. Tototdata, ea con?ine numeroase puncte de vedere, perspective ?i ipoteze critice meritorii, dup? cum v?de?te o extrem? aten?ie la nuan?ele textului, la relieful s?u subliminal. Demersul critic al autorului se caracterizeaz?, ?nainte de toate, prin rigoarea aser?iunilor ?i relevan?a demonstra?iei. ?ntre autorii comenta?i ?n aceast? carte, pot fi aminti?i Virgil Nemoianu, Al. Paleologu, Nicolae Manolescu, Gabriel Liiceanu, Adrian Marino, Ion Vartic, Marta Petreu, Mircea Muthu, Dan Culcer, ?tefan Borbély, Horia B?descu, Vasile Dan, Eugen Dorcescu, Ion Zuba?cu s.a.
