- The life of elves / by Barbery, Muriel,1969-author.(CARDINAL)686764; Anderson, Alison,translator.(CARDINAL)395043;
When the harmony between living beings turns to discord, the seasons will be loosed from their moorings and the natural world thrown into disarray; human beings-no longer capable of feeling either empathy or enchantment-will abandon themselves to hate, violence, and war. An epic battle between forces that wish to reestablish harmony in the world and those that wish to shatter it definitively is being waged on earth and in the mysterious land of mist, where the elves dwell. A ragtag army of rural peasants gathers in readiness for the fight-their weapons, an age-old kinship with the land and an affinity for magic. But humankind cannot hope to win this battle alone. Victory depends on help from the inhabitants of a world that is hidden from human sight. Hope rests with Maria and Clara, two girls whose prodigious artistic talents and deep connections with nature make communion with the numinous realm possible.

- Far from the madding crowd / by Hardy, Thomas,1840-1928,author.(CARDINAL)140831;
This story of a proud rural beauty and the three men who court her is the novel that first made Thomas Hardy famous. Despite the violent ends of several of its major characters, Far from the Madding Crowd is the sunniest and least brooding of Hardy’s great novels. The strong-minded Bathsheba Everdene—and the devoted shepherd, obsessed farmer, and dashing soldier who vie for her favor—move through a beautifully realized late nineteenth-century agrarian landscape, still almost untouched by the industrial revolution and the encroachment of modern life.

- Nuits américaines : l'art du nocturne aux États-Unis, 1890-1917 / by Valance, Hélène,author.(CARDINAL)337758;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-334) and index."À l'aube du XXe siècle, les peintres de paysage américains abandonnent les vues sublimes des grands espaces de l'Ouest pour se tourner vers une peinture plus intimiste, toute en effets d'atmosphère. La nuit, surtout, fascine les artistes et leur public : entre 1890 et 1917, les paysages nocturnes connaissent un succès sans égal sur le marché de l'art américain. Pourquoi cet enthousiasme soudain pour l'obscurité? Aux sources de cet engouement, le modèle des Nocturnes de James McNeill Whistler, artiste américain expatrié en Europe, qui réinvente la peinture du paysage de clair de lune dans des compositions épurées, aux tonalités sobres et harmonieuses. Mais à la fin du XIXe siècle, la nuit attire aussi parce qu'elle semble sur le point de disparaître, menacée par les progrès de l'éclairage électrique. Alors que le paysage américain se trouve radicalement transformé par l'industrialisation et l'urbanisation, la nuit offre une échappatoire aux artistes et à leur public. Le nocturne apparaît comme un genre fondamentalement ambivalent, qui maintient à distance la modernité, mais reflète malgré lui les préoccupations contemporaines des Américains. Les inquiétudes et incertitudes nées des évolutions scientifiques, technologiques, politiques et sociales qui affectent la période trouvent ainsi, paradoxalement, de puissants échos dans cet art situé " loin de la vie moderne, loin de tout, aux extrêmes confins de la peinture " (J.-K. Huysmans)."--Page 4 of cover.
