Short Stories & Tales

Instead of searching for lost time, try finding it again with a short story: they are often the finest fare, and at the tale end, these brief accounts prove joys beyond compare. So let the simple heart of Bartleby transform the balls of tallow into the Venus of Ille…

Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Edition originale de cette revue mensuelle fondée à Londres en novembre 1940 et dirigée jusqu'en décembre 1946 par André Labarthe, véritable organe intellectuel des de la réistance française en Angleterre, et publiant des articles originaux de soutien des plus grands intellectuels de l'époque.
Superbe contribution de Wells qui déclare son amour à la France et sa foi en son âme résistante en ses heures les plus noires de son histoire: 
« Que cette France de lumière et de liberté ait été trahie par les ambitions personnelles de ses enfants, qu'elle soit tombée dans cette confusion politique où elle se débat encore aujourd'hui, qu'un désastre militaire l'ait finalement terrassée, ce sont là des faits qui appartiennent à la sombre tragédie de l'histoire, des malheurs que nous aurions fort pu avoir à partager, sans le fossé qui entoure notre île-forteresse. Cela est sans aucune importance pour le monde nouveau qui s'étend devant nous. France et Angleterre sont trop petites pour être indépendantes - mais en ces jours où les distances n'existent plus, tous les pays du monde sont dans le même cas. Qu'elles soient petites importe peu, à l'heure actuelle, sauf peut-être aux esprits ternes qui assoient une politique de puissance sur la philosophie « holiste ». Ce que la France et l'Angleterre représentent, comme ne saurait le faire aucun autre pays, ce sont les valeurs éternelles de l'esprit humain. Elles sont indissolublement unies pour le progrès et l'émancipation de la pensée humaine. Qu'importent les empires, les défaites et les victoires, auprès de ces gloires durables ? » (H-G Wells, La grandeur essentielle de la France)

BROGAN; Du renouvellement des élites (II) par Raymond ARON; Les trois Noël d'un condamné par J.R. PECHERAL; La dernière sortie du Boston S. SUGAR par le Capitaine P. LADOUX; Places fortes et lignes fortifiées (I) par camille ROUGERON...
