New Releases by Helen Fielding

- Tirsdag den 21. marts: Jeg vil ikke gå i seng med eller tage nogen notits af Daniel mere. - Lørdag den 29. april: Toogtyve timer, fire pizzaer, én gang indisk fastfood, tre pakker cigaretter og tre flasker champagne senere er Daniel her stadig. Jeg er forelsket. Det er ikke altid lige let at være omkring de 30, single, uorganiseret og selvoptaget, og hvis ikke det var fordi Bridget var udstyret med en god portion selvironi, ville det sikkert gå helt galt. Med sin genkendelige og elskelige romanfigur Bridget Jones har Helen Fielding givet stemme til millioner af moderne kvinders frustrationer over singelliv, karriereræs og søgen efter den eneste ene ...

Bridget Jones er tilbage med sine rablende og vittige betroelser til dagbogen og veninderne. Hudløst ærlig og med en evne til at ramme lige dér, hvor det gør mest mest ondt - men altid så man må grine med. I "Bridget Jones'' dagbog" fandt Bridget endelig sin drømmemand, Darcy, og fremtiden tegnede lys. Men nu begynder hverdagen med uvaskede underbukser og opvask, der skal deles demokratisk. Bridget indser, at det ikke altid er lykken at have drømmemanden inden for rækkevidde - især ikke når han befinder sig i din lejlighed. Bridget tager tilflugt i 90''ernes talløse selvhjælpsbøger, blot for at blive endnu mere forvirret. Der skal en rejse til anden side af jordkloden samt trusler på livet til, for at hun endelig kan forene billedet af drømmemanden og ham med de snavsede underbukser.

Het dagboek van Bridget Jones vertelt over het vrolijke leven van een jonge werkende vrouw en haar strijd tegen de overmatige consumptie van alcohol en calorieën, tegen de verleiding van de sigaret en tegen het allesoverheersende verlangen naar de Enige Echte, de ware man. Bridget Jones is inmiddels een begrip geworden: de blunderende Bridget, haar trouwe vriendinnen en de vrouwen die op haar toekomstige minnaar azen, groeiden uit tot iconen van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Helen Fielding woont en werkt in Londen. Haar romans Het dagboek van Bridget Jones en Bridget Jones: het nieuwe dagboek verschenen in veertig landen en er werden miljoenen exemplaren van verkocht. Ook de verfilmingen van de boeken, met in de hoofdrollen Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant en Colin Firth, waren wereldwijd een doorslaand succes. In 2013 verscheen het nieuwe dagboek, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.

L''UNICA REGOLA PER NON TORNARE VERGINI È FARLO SPESSO, MEGLIO SE LUI È PIU GIOVANE. SE VUOI IL MEGLIO, NON PROVARCI IN MODO AGGRESSIVO E SCONTATO. PIUTTOSTO FAI GESTI SENSUALI E ALLUSIVI COME SFREGARE SU E GIÙ LO STELO DI UN CALICE DI VINO (Bridget Jones docet) La single più amata del mondo è tornata. Ed è ancora single. L''avevamo lasciata felice e innamorata fra le braccia del suo Darcy, lontana dal rischio di morire zitella ed essere divorata dagli ormai mitici pastori alsaziani. Ma dopo tredici anni, Bridget Jones è di nuovo sola. E mamma di due figli: il saggio Billy, un compassato e tenerissimo Darcy in miniatura, e la incantevole, diabolica Mabel, che non perde occasione per svergognarla rivelando pubblicamente scomode verità che Bridget preferirebbe tacere persino a se stessa. Una su tutte: la sua età. Eh già, perché lungi dall''avere i trentacinque anni che sfacciatamente dichiara, la single più amata del mondo ha ormai raggiunto i cinquanta. E, come molte sue coetanee, è costretta a destreggiarsi - goffa e irresistibile più che mai e favolosamente imperfetta - tra responsabilità familiari e (improbabili) occasioni di lavoro, epidemie di pidocchi e tornei scolastici, teleconferenze e consolatorie bevute con gli amici di sempre, Jude, Tom e Talitha. Che, ancora una volta, tramano per aiutarla a trovare, se non proprio l''amore, almeno uno straccio di maschio buono per una gratificante notte di sesso - allontanando da lei lo spauracchio di una umiliante "verginità di ritorno". Ma chi è il padre dei figli di Bridget? Che fine ha fatto Mark Darcy? E il pessimo Daniel Cleaver? La risposta a queste e ad altre domande nel nuovo, sorprendente capitolo del "diario" più spassionato, irriverente ed esilarante che vi possa capitare di leggere.

La vita della single trentenne Bridget Jones è completamente cambiata: fidanzata con Mark Darcy, l''uomo dei suoi sogni, ha finalmente vinto la battaglia contro la bilancia. Innamorata e dimagrita, Bridget scopre ben presto che la convivenza logora persino le relazioni più romantiche. Non le resta che ricorrere ai manuali di self-help, alla scorta di sigarette e allo Chardonnay in frigo, soprattutto quando all''orizzonte compare Rebecca, filiforme, alta, elegantissima e decisamente troppo interessata a Mark. Un brillante spaccato del mondo femminile scritto con lo stile spumeggiante che contraddistingue Helen Fielding, Che pasticcio, Bridget Jones! è il graditissimo ritorno di una delle eroine moderne più amate degli ultimi anni.

The western philosophical tradition has only recently explored alterity, in particular the alterity of woman as the other of man. This volume reflects on the ethical implications of this, and on the need for a rethinking of the implicit structures of Western philosophy, which exclude women as subjects who conceptualize the world and society.

Deux notes de travail inedites de Merleau-Ponty, datees de 1959, qui font reference a Simondon; le premier chapitre d''un texte inedit que Simondon avait redige quelques annees auparavant: Chiasmi International publie pour la premiere fois les temoignages de la reflexion croisee que les deux penseurs etaient en train de mener sur l''un des themes les plus decisifs pour la philosophie du XXe siecle: l''individuation. Quelques-uns des specialistes de la question, parmis les plus reconnus, apportent leur contribution au sujet de ces textes, et des rapports entre la pensee de Merlau-Ponty et celle de Simondon. Le theme de la seconde section, a savoir le theme de la vie qui court a travers les lecons de Merleau-Ponty sur la nature, et dont les contributions pour l''essentiel proviennent du Merleau-Ponty Circle (Universite de Western Ontario, 2003) se revele ainsi parfaitement complementaire a celui de la premiere.
