Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world`s greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman`s life was a series of combustoble combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism. Over a period of years, Feynman`s conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.

Paris in the early 1920s saw the growth of a new art form called surrealism. Both a formal movement and a spiritual orientation, surrealism embraced ethics and politics as well as the arts. Surrealists sought to create a medium that liberated the subconcious mind, and many artists and photographers captured this revolution through photographic images. This new survey includes works by Max Ernst, Dora Maar, Lee Miller, René Magritte, Meret Oppenheim and more.

La crise actuelle se terminera un jour, laissant derrière elle d`innombrables victimes et quelques rares vainqueurs. Pourtant, il serait possible à chacun de nous d`en sortir dès maintenant en bien meilleur état que nous n`y sommes entrés.

Mon propos n`est donc pas ici d`exposer un programme politique pour résoudre cette crise et toutes celles qui viendront, ni de vagues généralités moralisantes,...
