144 pages, format 17 X 24 cm, 144 pages, illustrations et doc. inédits. ISBN : 978-2-8103-0254-3 Stanislas de Guaita (1861-1897), poète maniant les mots et empreint de la douce mélancolie mystique des adeptes de Baudelaire, fit de son destin une uvre entière et inachevée. Il deviendra l'une des figures de proue de l'occultisme renaissant de la fin du XIXe siècle. Le premier texte de Steeve Fayadas présente cet acteur majeur de l'occultisme à la Belle Époque, au centre des compagnons de la hiérophanie au travers de documents inédits. Jean-Pierre Laurant, pour sa part, retrace le contexte historique indispensable à la compréhension des événements qui se déroulèrent dans cette fin du XIXe siècle. À sa suite, Gilles Bucherie établit le parallèle entre Stanislas de Guaita et F. Ch. Barlet dans une perspective commune de renouvellement de l'Occultisme. Daniel Guéguen analyse pour nous, sous un jour nouveau, la rupture entre Joséphin Péladan et Stanislas de Guaita, rupture amicale mais également esthétique. Le mage d'Alteville a constitué une des plus importantes bibliothèques d'ouvrages ésotériques que connut l'Europe en ce XIXe siècle. Le catalogue dressé par Oswald Wirth contenait 2227 ouvrages et manuscrits. En spécialiste et historien du livre, Alain Marchiset nous révèle Guaita en véritable érudit, bibliophile de l'occulte. Serge Caillet présente un historique détaillé de l'Ordre Kabbalistique de la Rose-Croix, véritable Collège de France de l'ésotérisme, de Stanislas de Guaita à Robert Ambelain. Enfin, Rémi Boyer à sa suite, communique sur la restauration de l'OKRC de 1997. À travers de nombreux documents et témoignages inédits, ces contributions révèlent des aspects ignorés de ce précurseur de l'occultisme moderne.

Our understanding of how the human brain performs mathematical calculations is far from complete, but in recent years there have been many exciting breakthroughs by scientists all over the world. Now, in The Number Sense, Stanislas Dehaene offers a fascinating look at this recent research, in an enlightening exploration of the mathematical mind. Dehaene begins with the eye-opening discovery that animals-including rats, pigeons, raccoons, and chimpanzees-can perform simple mathematical calculations, and that human infants also have a rudimentary number sense. Dehaene suggests that this rudimentary number sense is as basic to the way the brain understands the world as our perception of color or of objects in space, and, like these other abilities, our number sense is wired into the brain. These are but a few of the wealth of fascinating observations contained here. We also discover, for example, that because Chinese names for numbers are so short, Chinese people can remember up to nine or ten digits at a time-English-speaking people can only remember seven. The book also explores the unique abilities of idiot savants and mathematical geniuses, and we meet people whose minute brain lesions render their mathematical ability useless. This new and completely updated edition includes all of the most recent scientific data on how numbers are encoded by single neurons, and which brain areas activate when we perform calculations.

A renowned cognitive neuroscientist?s fascinating and highly informative account of how the brain acquires readingHow can a few black marks on a white page evoke an entire universe of sounds and meanings? In this riveting investigation, Stanislas Dehaene provides an accessible account of the brain circuitry of reading and explores what he calls the ?reading paradox?: Our cortex is the product of millions of years of evolution in a world without writing, so how did it adapt to recognize words? Reading in the Brain describes pioneering research on how we process language, revealing the hidden logic of spelling and the existence of powerful unconscious mechanisms for decoding words of any size, case, or font. Dehaene?s research will fascinate not only readers interested in science and culture, but also educators concerned with debates on how we learn to read, and who wrestle with pathologies such as dyslexia. Like Steven Pinker, Dehaene argues that the mind is not a blank slate: Writing systems across all cultures rely on the same brain circuits, and reading is only possible insofar as it fits within the limits of a primate brain. Setting cutting-edge science in the context of cultural debate, Reading in the Brain is an unparalleled guide to a uniquely human ability.

“The Autobiography of a Flea” is an erotic novel first published in 1887. Although originally published anonymously, subsequent research has revealed that it was written by a London lawyer by the name of Stanislas de Rhodes. Narrated by a flea, the story concerns a pretty young girl named Bella who is taken advantage of sexually by a local priest, his colleagues, and her uncle. She is then manipulated into procuring her friend for the priests' and her own father's sexual enjoyment. “The Autobiography of a Flea” was turned into a pornographic film in 1976. This volume will appeal to fans of erotic fiction, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of erotic literature.

The Number Sense is an enlightening exploration of the mathematical mind. Describing experiments that show that human infants have a rudimentary number sense, Stanislas Dehaene suggests that this sense is as basic as our perception of color, and that it is wired into the brain. Dehaene shows that it was the invention of symbolic systems of numerals that started us on the climb to higher mathematics. A fascinating look at the crossroads where numbers and neurons intersect, The Number Sense offers an intriguing tour of how the structure of the brain shapes our mathematical abilities, and how our mathematics opens up a window on the human mind.

At the Threshold of Mystery is a journey through the history and progression of the mystery tradition, from its place in ancient history up to late 19th century France. Throughout the journey, Stanislas de Guaita weaves in his Kabbalistic insight and beautiful glimpses of Rosicrucian Illuminism. The appendix contains an in-depth analysis of two pantacles from the works of Heinrich Khunrath as well as sections pertaining to Martinism, and Rosicrucian Kabbalah. Stanislas de Guaita was a French poet and celebrated Rosicrucian. In 1888 Stanislas founded the Ordre Kabbalistique de la Rose Croix in an effort to revive the French Rosicrucian tradition. He played a fundamental role in the esoteric revival of the late 1800’s and this translation gives you a glimpse into how our spiritual predecessors approached the Rosicrucian tradition.

A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY OF TINTIN'S CREATOR by Jose-Louis Bocquet and Jean-Luc Fromental, Illustrated by Stanislas BarthélémyThe Adventures of Hergé is a biographical comic about the world-renowned comics artist Georges Prosper Remi, better known by his pen name, Hergé. Meticulously researched, with references to many of the Tintin albums and complete with a bibliography and mini-bios for each of the main "characters," the biography is appropriately drawn in Hergé's iconic clear line style as an homage to the Tintin adventures that have commanded the attention of readers across the world and of many generations. Seven-year-old Hergé first discovered his love of drawing in 1914 when his mother gave him some crayons to stay out of trouble. He continued drawing in school when he fatefully met the editor of XXe Siècle magazine, where Tintin first appeared. His popularity skyrocketed from the 1930s through post–World War Two. Hergé was perceived by some to have aided the Nazi government in Belgium by continuing to publish Tintin in a government-sanctioned magazine, and he was briefly imprisoned in the aftermath of the war and narrowly escaped execution. Also covered are his marriage troubles in the 1950s and subsequent affair with Fanny Vlamynck, who went on to become his lifelong partner; his late career in the 1960s, as his interest in Tintin waned and he occasionally "disappeared" for weeks at a time as he contemplated giving up his career to become a fine-arts painter; and a recounting of a humorous encounter with Andy Warhol.
