Aujourd'hui, en Europe, le jaune est une couleur discrète, peu présente dans la vie quotidienne et guère sollicitée dans le monde des symboles. Il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi. Les peuples de l'Antiquité voyaient en lui une couleur presque sacrée, celle de la lumière, de la chaleur, de la richesse et de la prospérité. Les Grecs et les Romains lui accordaient une place importante dans les rituels religieux, tandis que les Celtes et les Germains l'associaient à l'or et à l'immortalité. Le déclin du jaune date du Moyen Âge qui en a fait une couleur ambivalente.

Contrairement à une idée reçue, le blanc est une couleur à part entière, au même titre que le rouge, le bleu, le vert ou le jaune. Le livre de Michel Pastoureau retrace sa longue histoire en Europe, de l'Antiquité la plus reculée jusqu'aux sociétés contemporaines. Il s'intéresse à tous ses aspects, du lexique aux symboles, en passant par la culture matérielle, les pratiques sociales, les savoirs scientifiques, les morales religieuses, la création artistique.

Le rouge est en Occident la première couleur que l'homme a maîtrisée, aussi bien en peinture qu'en teinture. C'est probablement pourquoi elle est longtemps restée la couleur « par excellence », la plus riche du point de vue matériel, social, artistique, onirique et symbolique. Admiré des Grecs et des Romains, le rouge est dans l'Antiquité symbole de puissance, de richesse et de majesté. Au Moyen Âge, il prend une forte dimension religieuse, évoquant aussi bien le sang du Christ que les flammes de l'enfer.

Aimez-vous le vert ? À cette question les réponses sont partagées. En Europe, une personne sur six environ a le vert pour couleur préférée ; mais il s'en trouve presque autant pour le détester. Couleur ambivalente, sinon ambiguë, il est symbole de vie, de sève, de chance et d'espérance d'un côté, associé au poison, au malheur, au Diable et à ses créatures de l'autre. Chimiquement instable, le vert a été apparenté à tout ce qui était changeant : l'enfance, l'amour, la chance, le jeu, le hasard, l'argent.

Soixante ans après la mort du grand écrivain Aldous Huxley, son chef-d'œuvre, Le Meilleur des Mondes, dans une nouvelle traduction de Josée Kamoun.

For close to a decade, the US government has been preoccupied with the threat of China, fearing that the country will "eat our lunch," in the words of Joe Biden. The United States has crafted its foreign and domestic policy to help constrain China's military power and economic growth. Van Jackson and Michael Brenes argue that great-power competition with China is misguided and vastly underestimates the costs and risks that geopolitical rivalry poses to economic prosperity, the quality of democracy, and, ultimately, global stability.

Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But Jason Brennan says they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough.

There can be few more exciting or frightening moments in European history than the spring of 1848. Almost as if by magic, in city after city, from Palermo to Paris to Venice, huge crowds gathered, sometimes peaceful and sometimes violent, and the political order that had held sway since the defeat of Napoleon simply collapsed. Christopher Clark's spectacular new book recreates with verve, wit and insight this extraordinary period.
