I purchased this book to write a paper for a sculpture class. I had bought one other but tossed it aside and spent the majority of my time soaked up in this book. It is full of images of Camille's works as well as some images of Camille herself. Aside from the information about her life before, during, and after Rodin, there are also many personal letters to and from Camille that have been ...             J'abandonne1 review Philippe Claudel Gallimard, 2002 L'histoire d'un abandon Le narrateur se compare à une hyène: à l'hôpital où il travaille, il est chargé de prélever les organes des patients décédés pour les mettre à disposition de ceux qui ont besoin de subir une transplantation. Ce qui lui rend cette activité insupportable, c'est la technique de persuasion que lui et son collègue se voient obligés d'employer pour persuader les proches de livrer les leurs à la ...             Camille Claudel: A Novel21 reviews Alma H. Bond Ph.D. PublishAmerica, 2005 A Woman Born To Soon When pen meets paper our mind can take over, and lead us into unknown places. The same is said of Camille Claudel, except for her it was clay or a piece of marble. This book is a work of art in itself. Dr. Bond gives us the psychological insight into the depth and understanding of the heart, mind, and soul of Camille. We also see the in-securities Camille had, because of a leg that was shorter ...             Camille Claudel: A Sculpture of Interior Solitude1 review Angelo Caranfa Bucknell University Press, 1999 Camille Claudel , A Sculpture Of Interior Solitude Having scoured bookshops in England for several years,was finally able to order on-line with Amazon Thank you !

Gingko Press, 2005 From the Publisher "The beautiful, talented, witty, and fiercely independent Camille Claudel first met the great Auguste Rodin when she was only 17 and he was 41. She became his fellow sculptor, his muse, his model, and his lover. As he gained fame she struggled against the social and artistic limitations placed upon women artists in the nineteenth century. "For the first time in the United States the special ...             Camille Claudel : A Life8 reviews Odile Ayral-Clause Harry N. Abrams, 2002 Life.....If You Could Call It That! Camille Claudel was an amazing Parisian sculptress who lived far before time was good to her and this biography does her justice...finally! Born in 1864, Camille Claudel grew up with an ambition un-worthy of her sexual status. She held within her being an artistic fire that was only extinguished by supposed madness. I have the feeling that had this woman been alive today her art and her spirit ...             Camille Claudel2 reviews Anne Delbee Mercury House, 2000 The most painful book I have ever read. This is a book that I wish I had not read and yet it is one of the best books I have ever read. Camille Claudel's soul found it's path into mine and I felt all the hate towards August Rodin that she was incapable of because of her love for him and breathtaking passion for her own and his work. In a lot of ways this book resembles "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" in revealing how a human ...             Les Âmes grises (Le Livre de Poche)1 review Philippe Claudel Stock, 2003 Murder and War Philippe Claudel's book takes the reader back in time to World War 1 in the Lorraine region of France. Already crushed by the war, the little community of V. is even more shaken by a series of suicides that culminate with the murder of a little girl. Although set in France between 1914 and 1937 (time when the narrator relates his memories), the book is strangely universal: war happens anywhere at ...             Les Petites Mécaniques1 review Philippe Claudel Mercure De France, 2003 Treize nouvelles originales Ces treize nouvelles présentent toutes des personnages dans des situations incongrues. Un mal mystérieux tient toute une région le mercredi des Cendres auquel seuls deux muets échappent mystérieusement. Le fils d'une prostituée brave la mort, content de quitter le monde après une belle chevauchée. Le marchand Colin le Bihot vit depuis son plus jeune âge de grivèlerie et de crimes lorsqu'il ...             Le bruit des trousseaux2 reviews Philippe Claudel Stock, 2001 Une intéressante observation du milieu carcéral Le narrateur est un professeur de littérature qui se rend périodiquement dans une prison pour y enseigner et le roman est une série de réflexions sur les habitudes d'une institution carcérale. Le narrateur parle des odeurs, des sons et des couleurs qui y règnent ou des différents crimes que les prisonniers ont commis. Il analyse leurs caractères variés: ceux qui regardent la télévision en ...             Hundred Movements for a Fan (Quartet Encounters)1 review Paul Claudel Quartet Books, 1993 A fascinating experiment and interesting poetry This volume contains "occidental ideograms", Claudel's fusion of haiku and Western sensibilities, printed in three columns - ideogram, "title" and short poem/phrase. Claudel has utilized unusual placement of words and splitting of words in ways that emphasis particular letters/sounds. There are two poems to a page, French and English pages facing each other. The poems are not haiku nor are ...             Rodin: A Biography (Unabridged)2 reviews Frederic V. Grunfeld audible.com Fabulous Biography It is hard to believe that this book did not engender more attention or acclaim. It is absolutely the best I have ever read on Rodin the man and the artist. His life and background is presented in remarkable detail and photographs of many of his most famous works are presented. His views on religion, love, sex, France, art - everything is here for the asking. His workings and interaction ...             Quebec: City of Light1 review Michel Lessard Les Edition de L'Homme, 2004 Lovely book---get it for C$30 at Amazon.ca If you're looking for an armchair travel book, this isn't it. Instead it's a (non-technical) book very particularly about light, photography, and Quebec City. Sort of a love letter to the city, from a photographer. If you're visiting QC and want to take great photos, this could help. Can't fathom why these sellers are charging upwards of $100, when Amazon in Canada is selling for C$30. ...             Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel (Pegasus Library)4 reviews J. A. Schmoll Eisenwerth Prestel Publishing, 1999 A Refreshing Look at an all-too-politicized relationship I found this book engaging and very interesting. The relationship between Claudel and Rodin is examined fully and with an eye to historical accuracy. Though some may wish to champion the cause of an artist largely unrecognized in important critical scholarship, such politicization of an historical event to meet modern aims is untenable at best. For those seeking an honest, thoughtful account ...             Meuse l'oubli1 review Philippe Claudel Balland, 2000 L'acceptation du deuil Le narrateur prend refuge dans le village de Feil en Belgique pour tenter de surmonter le chagrin que lui a causé la mort de sa compagne Paule, décédée à la suite d'une maladie qui a duré trois mois. Il s'installe dans ce village après avoir sombré dans la dépression dans l'appartement qu'il occupait avec Paule puisuqe tout lui rappelait sa présence et aussi son absence. Le narrateur trouve à se ...             By a Slow River9 reviews Philippe Claudel Knopf, 2006 really really good I liked this novel enormously. It builds momentum, and while the narrative isn't told in a perfectly linear way, it's plenty easy to follow. The writing is beautiful; there were many places where I stopped to reread sentences or paragraphs, for the sheer arresting beauty of the language. I might have hoped for something different in the ending, but, when I thought about it, the ending was truer ...              search for books abandonne, auguste, biography, camille, claudel, encounter, encounters, fateful, grises, hundred, interior, library, light, livre, meuse, mistress, movements, mécaniques, novel, oubli, pegasus, petites, quartet, quebec, river, rodin, sculpture, solitude, trousseaux, unabridged books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
