Fantôme (album)
''Fantôme'' is the sixth Japanese studio album (ninth overall) by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada.

La Patrouille Des Castors
''La Patrouille des Castors'' (The Beaver Patrol) is a series of Belgian comics drawn by MiTacq and written by Jean-Michel Charlier. 30 albums were published between 1955 and 1993, by Dupuis, all relating the adventures of a Scout patrol. History This series, which was first published in '' Spirou'' magazine on November 25, 1954, relates the fictional adventures of a Scout patrol. In the first album, the patrol consisted of six Scouts, although one of them, Lapin (rabbit) disappeared quickly from future stories after the team decided five main characters was a more suitable number for the series. The artist, Michel Tacq (MiTacq), had himself been a Scout during a large part of his life. It was his idea to create a series with Scouts as the main characters, but he needed a script to realise the project, which was provided in 1954 by Charlier, already a very active scriptwriter. The publication in Spirou lasted from 1954 until 1979 although there was a long interruption from t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Georges Brassens
Georges Charles Brassens (; 22 October 1921 – 29 October 1981) was a French singer-songwriter and poet. As an iconic figure in France, he achieved fame through his elegant songs with their harmonically complex music for voice and guitar and articulate, diverse lyrics. He is considered one of France's most accomplished postwar poets. He has also set to music poems by both well-known and relatively obscure poets, including Louis Aragon ('), Victor Hugo (''La Légende de la Nonne'', ''Gastibelza''), Paul Verlaine, Jean Richepin, François Villon (''La Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis''), and Antoine Pol (''Les Passantes''). During World War II, he was forced by the Germans to work in a labor camp at a BMW aircraft engine plant in Basdorf near Berlin in Germany (March 1943). Here Brassens met some of his future friends, such as Pierre Onténiente, whom he called ''Gibraltar'' because he was "steady as a rock." They would later become close friends.

Les Orientales
''Les Orientales'' is a collection of poems by Victor Hugo, inspired by the Greek War of Independence. They were first published in January 1829. Of the forty-one poems, thirty-six were written during 1828. They offer a series of highly coloured tableaux depicting scenes from the eastern Mediterranean that, reflecting the cultural and political bias of the French public, underscore the contrast between freedom-loving Greeks and imperialist Ottoman Turks. The fashionable subject ensured the book's success. Although Hugo described it as "this impractical book of pure poetry" (''ce livre inutile de poesie pure''), the general theme of the poems is a celebration of liberty, linking the Ancient Greeks with the modern world, freedom in politics with freedom in art, and reflecting the evolution of Hugo's political views from the royalism of his early twenties to a rediscovery of the Napoleonic enthusiasms of his childhood (for example, see the fortieth, ''Lui''). The poems are also int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
