The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. It transforms our understanding across a wide range of disciplines. The collection includes new archival source studies, the translation of unpublished manuscripts, the translation of texts unavailable in English, and Judith images and music.
C’est l’histoire d’un groupe d’adolescents qui font leurs classes dans un collège catholique d’Afrique centrale durant la seconde moitié des années 90. Entre intrigues amoureuses, interrogations sur leurs origines et scandales d’État, ils trouveront peu à peu la voie qui fera d’eux des adultes. À travers les pérégrinations de Lucien, l’introverti amoureux de Judith ; Fabrice, le boute-en-train qui découvre peu à peu des secrets troublants sur ses parents ; Cornelia, l’héritière qui fait tourner les têtes tout en subissant l’étroite surveillance de son père ; Kristel, la jeune fille de famille modeste qui souffre de sa condition sociale bien qu’elle fasse tout pour se faire accepter de ses camarades, le lecteur sera amené à revivre toute une époque.
