Guyon Jeanne Knihy

The greatest love story ever written, the Song of Solomon describes the emotional, unfolding story of the Bridegroom and His bride. Jeanne Guyon shows how the song of a young maiden, fervently in love with her suitor, becomes a powerful allegory of every believer's relationship with Christ depicted in the Song of Songs. Without any embarrassment for King Solomon's intimate portrayal of the lovers, she explores: The greatness of God's love Finding God's favor in your life Learning to rest in His presence How trials can become blessings True surrender to God's will in your life Allow your heart to draw near to the heart of God on this journey to the Father's love.

She greatly influenced the life of Fenelon, one of the two most famous clergymen in France's history and earned the wrath of the other, Boussuet. The conflict between these two giants over her teachings led to her disgrace in the king's court and then to her imprisonment. The clash between Boussuet and Fenelon enthralled and scandalized the whole of France. The continuing feud had to be settled by the Pope himself.The influence of Madame Guyon has never wavered with the passing of centuries.

Premier tome de notre anthologie des meilleures nouvelles de S J Perelman, L’Oeil de l’idole regroupe vingt textes inédits où éclate le génie d’un des plus grands humoristes américains. Perelman fait feu de tout bois avec une drôlerie irrésistible, qu’il narre ses hilarantes pérégrinations à Hollywood ou en Malaisie, se lance dans des considérations incongrues sur les moustachus ou les collectionneurs d’araignées, s’amuse à parodier Dostoïevski ou les detective stories de Chandler. Comme le dit dans la préface l’un de ses fervents admirateurs : « Il n’existe aucun auteur humoristique comparable à S J Perelman. C’est aussi simple que ça... Aucun écrivain actuel n’égale son sens du comique, sa folie inventive, son talent narratif et l’originalité éblouissante de ses dialogues » (W. Allen)
