book cover: The Book of Man

New York Times best-selling author William J.Bennett uses stories, essays, historical vignettes, and contemporary profiles to explore and explain what it means to be a man. Fashioning men has never been easy, but today it seems particularly tough. Boys needheroes to embody the everlasting qualities of manhood: honor, duty, valor, and integrity. Without such role models, boys will naturally choose perpetual childhood over the rigors of becoming a man-as many women, teachers, coaches, employers, and adults in authority can quickly attest. Too many boys and men waste time in pointless and soulless activities,unmindful of their responsibilities, uncaring in their pursuits. Have we forgotten how to raise men, how to lead our boys into manhood? In The Book of Man, Bennett charts a clearercourse, offering a positive, encouraging, uplifting, realizable idea of manhood, redolent of history and human nature, and practical for contemporary life. Like his classic, The Book of Virtues, Bennettuses profiles, stories, letters, poems, and myths to bring his subject to life, defining what a man should be, how he should live, and to what he should aspire in several key areas of life. Chapters include: Man in War Man at Work Man in Play, Competition, and Leisure Man in the Polis Man with Woman and Children Man in Prayer and Reflection

book cover: Britain, Russia, and the Road to the First World War

For much of the later nineteenth-century Britain regarded Russia as its main international rival, particularly as regarded the security of its colonial possessions in India. Yet, by 1907 Russia's political revolution, financial collapse and military defeat by Japan, transformed the situation, resulting in an Anglo-Russian rapprochement. As this book makes clear, whilst international affairs lay at the root of this new relationship, personal factors also played an important role in reversing many years of mutual animosity and suspicion. In particular the study explores the influence of the liberal anglophile Count Aleksandr Benckendorff, the Russian ambassador in London between 1903 and 1916.By 1905 Russia and her ally France both realised that an alliance with Britain would be necessary to counter the growing power of Germany. Benckendorff, as one of the most important figures in the Russian diplomatic service, persuaded Nicholas II and his Foreign Minister, V.N. Lamsdorff, to drop their objections to various long-standing British demands in order to pave the way for a Triple Entente. Although the overarching Russian strategy was conceived as 'balancing' the imperial rivalries of Britain and Germany, numerous factors - not least Benckendorff's energetic pro-British stance - upset the scales and resulted in a stand-off with the Central Powers.Demonstrating how Benckendorff's fear of losing Britain's friendship made him oppose all Russia's efforts at improving Russo-German relations, this book underlines his role in setting Russia on the road to war. For when the Sarajevo crisis struck; there was now no hope of appealing to German goodwill to help defuse the situation. Instead Russia's status within the Entente depended on a show of determination and strength, which lead inexorably to a disaster of the Great War.

book cover: La sportive dans la littérature française des Années folles

Au cours des Années folles, où la littérature sportive atteint son apogée et où les championnes et aventurières en tout genre connaissent une popularité sans précédent, la figure de la sportive trouve sa place dans le champ littéraire. Nombreux sont les écrivains, en particulier les romanciers populaires, à s'intéresser à ces jeunes intrépides qui foulent la piste, mettent les gants de boxe, chaussent les crampons ou bourlinguent en Méditerranée. Ils n'hésitent pas à décrire des personnages romanesques hauts en couleur, en ayant à leur égard un sentiment d'admiration pour leur démonstration d'indépendance. En marge des critiques médicales, morales ou pédagogiques, ils participent dès lors à l'évolution des mentalités et révèlent, entre réalité et fiction, éloge et parodie, illustration et revendication, l'existence d'une nouvelle féminité.
