(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Book- Sirènes
Author: Zena Holloway
Score: 8/10
Year:  2002
Hors Collection ISBN : 22258056624

80 pages 
Language : French 

Zena Holloway takes us into a submarine poetic journey, with her photographs of men, women and children sirens, with the distinct goal of breaking away of the basic myths given siren women the role of the ''baddy'' attracting male sailors to their doom... 
Here, the sirens are both men and women, but also children, and live in peace and harmony.

 A few fish remind us that the models posed in a natural environnement and that the human and all other living beings have to be reunited as life has started (according to science) in the oceans...  

These photographs propose a little artistic nudity and the small texts accompanying each picture are gathered at the end of the book and form a short poem. 

 Why 8 and not 10 score ? the pages are in black and I'm afraid that without a librarian's gloves, these pages will be sooner or later filled with finger marks... the book is too short and I wish to see more!
