Pierre, or The Ambiguities . Volume Seven, Scholarly Edition Melville :: Education by Design Store Pierre, however, is drawn by instincts which defy his conscious realization, by desires which emanate from the dark belly of humanity and therefore can't be seen. The analysis of Pierre's mother as she turns on her husband/son and Melville's agonizing descriptions of the writing process were two of the book's highlights for me. The Beats loved Pierre--maybe they saw a model for their own art, where elegance takes a back seat to energy. It relates the story of Pierre, a young man born into American high society in the late 19th century, who gradually discovers that his beloved family and society are in reality profoundly false and corrupt. www.edbydesign.com /books/0810102668.html   (1923 words)

The Weblog That Derek Built: Juan Pierre...or, the Ambiguities Juan Pierre is not Bernie Williams in that he is nine years younger than the outgoing Yankee centerfielder, and far more healthy--Pierre has played 162 game per year, for the last three years running. The diametric opposite of Fielder, Pierre is greased lightning on the bases (267 SB in his career, good 73.6% success rate), but a dead duck in any home run derby (he's averaging roughly 1 homer per every 95 games; career.375 SLG in a career that included a few years in Colorado). Part of the confounding was that Pierre's demise was widely predicted after he left the best hitting environment in baseball (Denver) for one of the worst (Miami) after a bad 2002 season at altitude. weblogthatderekbuilt.blogspot.com /2005/12/juan-pierreor-ambiguities.html   (1484 words)

Film In his native land, however, Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux is second only to Molière, justly celebrated for his delicate comedies of intrigue in which the self-deceived are brought around to hearing and then heeding the suppressed promptings of their own hearts. Marivaux also leaves open the possibility that the Princess succumbs to her own wiles and falls for her victims in the heat of her simulated passion, but Sorvino and Peploe leave this territory unexplored. There is more than a touch of cruelty in her awakening of two different loves that cannot be requited; Sorvino softens the character by reacting with flashes of remorse. www.portlandphoenix.com /archive/movies/02/07/05/TRIUMPH_OF_LOVE.html   (677 words)

Amazon.ca: Pola X: DVD Based on Herman Melville's 1852 novel Pierre: or the Ambiguities, filmmaker LeosCarax (Lovers On The Bridge, Mauvais Sang) presents an ambitious tale of one man's search for the truth in a vague world. When the French film "Pola X" begins, Pierre (Guillaume Depardieu) is a very fortunate young man. He's wealthy (lives in a gorgeous French chateau), successful (writes best-selling novels), and is engaged to the beautiful Lucie. Pierre is Melville's most enigmatic work and Carax illuminates the mystery by placing it in our world, the dawn of the twenty-first century, where the spectator must enter--the viewer become a reader again--unriddling this Hamlet from the inside out. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000059XTM   (687 words)

Pierre, Or the Ambiguities by Herman Melville : Arthur's Classic Novels And the dark bay steeds that drew grand old Pierre alive, and by his testament drew him dead, and followed the lordly lead of the led gray horse; those dark bay steeds are still extant; not in themselves or in their issue; but in the two descendants of stallions of their own breed. This grand old Pierre always rose at sunrise; washed his face and chest in the open air; and then, returning to his closet, and being completely arrayed at last, stepped forth to make a ceremonious call at his stables, to bid his very honorable friends there a very good and joyful morning. Grand old Pierre is dead; and like a hero of old battles, he dies on the eve of another war; ere wheeling to fire on the foe, his platoons fire over their old commander's grave; in a.d. www.arthurwendover.com /arthurs/melville/pierre10.html   (687 words)

"Pola X" Pola X, Leos Carax's free-form imagining of Herman Melville's Pierre; or the Ambiguities, accomplishes what all successful literary adaptations must: It conveys the emotions we felt when we read the novel. (Pola is an acronym for the book's title in French; the X stands for the tenth and final draft of the script.) Too simply stated, Pierre is about a young writer who is fated to destruction with his half-sister. Begun by Melville just after he completed Moby-Dick, it's a dense and despairing dungeon of a book, blooming with the most beautiful night flowers. www.newyorkmetro.com /nymetro/movies/reviews/3756   (359 words)

PKP Open Archives Harvester: View Record We also discuss Reverend Falsgrave, Pierre?s mother?s minister, who has the ambiguities (his ambiguous answers to Pierre?s questions) and the musicalness (the way in which he moves) so that we can establish the connection between Isabel and Plinlimmon?s pamphlet more convincingly. To support the importance of horological sound, we should refer to the difference between the country and the city because nature in the country is associated with the musicalness that Isabel has in her guitar playing. Hawthorne seems to connect the past and the present by using the power of speech, which is unsettling language, instead of writing, but Melville uses the more ambiguous and unsettling sound even in literature to describe Isabel?s life because her past is so fathomlessly mysterious that it cannot be expressed by language. pkp.sfu.ca /harvester/viewrecord.php?id=3856   (359 words)

Arts Unlimited Arts Friday Review How I rescued Parsifal · Pierre Boulez conducts Wagner's Parsifal at the Bayreuth festival in six performances from Sunday to August 26. In 1970 he wrote that the slow, solemn approach to Parsifal "abolishes the unevennesses, the ambiguities and the contradictions of the drama and thereby reduces its significance". Photo: Matthew Fearn/PA In 1966, it was the musical equivalent of sending men to Mars: Pierre Boulez agreed to conduct Parsifal, Richard Wagner's last and most controversial opera, at Bayreuth, the composer's own theatre and temple to his music. www.guardian.co.uk /arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1266619,00.html   (785 words)

HoustonChronicle.com - Pola X The film is adapted from Herman Melville's Pierre; or the Ambiguities (The title's initials in French is P.O.L.A., hence at least part of the annoyingly obscure title). Pola X deals in heavy symbolism, the meaning of which can probably be sorted out from the clues dropped, but why bother? Midway through, three major characters take up residence in a complex of industrial buildings that seems to be the secret compound of some kind of cult. www.chron.com /cs/CDA/story.hts/features/729531   (651 words)

filmcritic.com Movie Review: Pola X Pola X is a French acronym of the Hermann Melville novel on which this film is based (and shakily updated to modern times): Pierre, Or, the Ambiguities. The X stands for the tenth draft of the screenplay which writer/director Leos Carax completed. Seems she didn't read the press release, which the theater was kind enough to dole out. www.filmcritic.com /misc/emporium.nsf/84dbbfa4d710144986256c290016f76e/a07fa6bc7e25816d882569580004893c?OpenDocument   (452 words)

Melville by Andrew Delbanco Delbanco charts Melville’s growth from the bawdy storytelling of Typee—the “labial melody” of his “indulgent captivity” among the Polynesians—through the spiritual preoccupations building up to Moby-Dick and such later works as Pierre, or the Ambiguities and The Confidence-Man, His Masquerade. Andrew Delbanco is the author of The Death of Satan: How Americans Have Lost the Sense of Evil, Required Reading: Why Our American Classics Matter Now, and The Real American Dream: A Meditation on Hope, all of which were New York Times Notable Books. The grandson of Revolutionary War heroes, Melville was born into a family that in the fledgling republic had lost both money and status. www.randomhouse.com /catalog/display.pperl?isbn=0-375-40314-0   (579 words)

Film Festival : Cannes 99 Pola X, Carax's fourth feature film and a selection to compete at Cannes after the director's eight-year absence from film-making, was inspired by Herman Melville's novel, Pierre, or The Ambiguities, published in 1852, from which it is loosely adapted. But, like Orson Welles, Sergio Leone, and Werner Herzog - directors with a penchant for excessive expression on and off the screen - Carax will always be a pleasure to follow. It's rather symptomatic that when speaking about Carax, both critics and friends find it difficult to separate the man from the films he made about himself. www.filmfestivals.com /cannes99/html/seloff3.htm   (432 words)

NYFF '99 ON THE SCENE: The Bad Boy of French Cinema, Leos Carax Carax read "Pierre ou les Ambiguities" for the first time when he was nineteen and was totally blown away. Carax did not want to tell us much about "Pola X." Although his English was perfect, the words themselves were as enigmatic as the film. When French director Leos Carax walked into the New York Film Festival press conference for his film "Pola X," it was clear that he digs his bad-boy image. www.indiewire.com /onthescene/fes_99NYFF_991006_carax.html   (849 words)

Pierre Curie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pierre Curie studied ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism for his doctoral thesis, and discovered the effect of temperature on paramagnetism which is now known as Curie's law. Pierre died as a result of a carriage accident in a rain storm while crossing the Rue Dauphine in Paris on April 19, 1906. Pierre was educated at home by his father, and in his early teens showed a strong aptitude for mathematics and geometry. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pierre_Curie   (625 words)

Pierre Bourdieu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pierre Bourdieu's work emphasized how social classes, especially the ruling and intellectual classes, reproduce themselves even under the pretence that society fosters social mobility - particularly through education.

Pierre Méchain (1744-1804) Pierre Méchain was born on August 16, 1744 in Laon in Northern France, northwest of Reims and northeast of Paris. Pierre Méchain was honored by the astronomical community with the naming (on June 24, 2002) of asteroid (21785) Méchain, discovered by Milos Tichý at Kle on September 21, 1999, and provisionally designated 1999 SS2. Moreover, Pierre Méchain states to have observed some more "nebulae" in the region of the Virgo Cluster which Messier had not included in his catalog, but unfortunately doesn't give any detail which could help to identify his presumable discoveries. www.seds.org /messier/xtra/history/pmechain.html   (1319 words)

Patron Saints Index: Blessed Pierre Bonhomme Father Pierre felt a desire to become a Carmelite, but his bishop insisted that he continue his work as a missioner, and gave him a new group of missioners to work with. His mission vocation over, Pierre turned his attention to the Congregation, expanding their work into care for the deaf and mute in 1854, and the mentally ill in 1856. As part of his parish work, Pierre preached missions in the region, and became known as a excellent preacher, converting many. www.catholic-forum.com /saints/saintp5h.htm   (314 words)

Pierre Bayle Amidst this mess, Pierre Bayle was born in 1647, the son of a Protestant minister in Le Carla (now Le Carla-Bayle), a small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) was a Huguenot, i.e., a French Protestant, who spent almost the whole of his productive life as a refugee in Holland. Typically, the family was financially impoverished, and Pierre, after primary school, could be only home-schooled until he was 21. plato.stanford.edu /entries/bayle   (7119 words)
