De amor a primera vista. Así será la relación de cualquier lector con este libro, que recoge apenas una mínima parte de lo que es el Universo Chavela Vargas. Belleza, sabiduría, inteligencia, simpatía, sensibilidad. De todo eso estuvo llena esta mujer extraordinaria y todo eso, y mucho más, regaló al mundo porque era tanto lo que en ella habitaba, que después de cantar o de hablar o de simplemente vivir, iba dejándole a los otros las puertas abiertas para que cada cual encontrara las verdades que le correspondían.

Les Presses Universitaires de France et Frémeaux & Associés proposent cette biographie de Cléopâtre, par Christian-Georges Schwentzel, spécialiste du Proche-Orient hellénistique et romain. Cléopâtre, dernière reine d'Égypte (69-30 av. J.-C.), est une exception dans l'histoire de l'humanité : elle est une des rares femmes à être parvenue à exercer le pouvoir politique. Selon les textes antiques, elle doit son succès à son charme irrésistible : elle séduit Jules César puis Marc Antoine, maîtres successifs du monde romain.

Cieli, occhi, corvi, girasoli: dovunque giri lo sguardo, Johanna vede dipinti di Van Gogh. Splendono nel buio, la svegliano all'alba; prima del canto degli uccelli, prima dei rumori di Parigi che riparte. La gente non li capisce, non li ama. Li usa come fondi d'armadio, per tappare i buchi del pollaio. Van Gogh si spara al petto e con lui se ne va il fratello Theo, inseparabile anche nella morte Johanna resta sola con un piccolino nella culla: si chiama Vincent come suo zio. Lui e i dipinti illuminano il nero che l'ha avvolta.

But Lola was an impostor, a self-invention. Born Eliza Gilbert, the beautiful Irish wild child escaped a stifling marriage and reimagined herself as Lola the Sevillian flamenco dancer and noblewoman.
