A very good+ paperback, ex-library with stamps, stickers & markings, cover as in image, text fine.
Un jour - c'était en 1904 - une jeune femme turque, Kérimé Turkhan Pacha, écrit de Constantinople à la belle et scandaleuse Pauline Tam, dont nous connaissons aujourd'hui l'œuvre poétique, publiée sous le nom de Renée Vivien. Kérimé, élevée dans la bonne société du Moyen-Orient, connaît bien le français : elle est l'épouse d'un diplomate turc qui deviendra ministre des affaires étrangères et sera même, en 1918, président du gouvernement provisoire en Albanie. Kérimé a-t-elle amorcé cette relation épistolaire parce qu'elle avait aimé les poèmes de Renée Vivien ? A-t-elle voulu se rapprocher d'une femme connue pour ses amours féminines ? Nous ne le savons pas. Il reste que Renée Vivien se prend au jeu de la correspondance, et désire très vite la "brune sultane" derrière l'épistolière. Alors se suivent des messages enflammés, que la lenteur et le décalage de courriers trop attendus rendent souvent inopportuns. Renée Vivien, vivant elle-même des histoires d'amour avec d'autres amies, imaginera des stratagèmes pour rencontrer Kérimé, elle répétera les regrets d'extases trop brèves, elle cherchera à susciter la jalousie quand elle soupçonnera la tiédeur. De ville en ville, de palaces en palaces, elle produira ainsi, pour sa maîtresse orientale, des lettres et des poèmes qui seront autant de variations sur les péripéties de l'amour.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
