In a masterful work of cultural history, Charles Sprawson, himself an obsessional swimmer and fluent diver, explores the meaning that different cultures have attached to water. Sprawson compares the meaning various societies have assigned to swimming—from classical Greece and imperial Rome to nineteenth-century England and Germany and the U.S. and Japan in the last fifty years. Sprawson gives us fascinating glimpses of the great swimmer heroes: Byron leaping dramatically into the surf at Shelley’s beach funeral; Edgar Allen Poe’s lone and mysterious river-swims; Rupert Brooke swimming naked with Virginia Woolf; Hart Crane swallow-diving to his death in the Bay of Mexico; Johnny Weismuller as athlete and entertainer. Informed by the literature of Swinburne, Goethe, Scott Fitzgerald, and Yukio Mishima; the films of Reifenstahl and Vigo; the Hollywood “swimming musicals” of the 1930s; and delving in and out of Olympic history, Haunts of the Black Masseur is a celebration of swimming that explores aspects of culture in a heretofore unimagined way.

Les techniques du drainage lymphatique manuel visent à rétablir le flux lymphatique par activation de la circulation de l'eau organique. L'accélération du débit lymphatique du sujet (le receveur) est proportionnelle à la force produite par le mouvement du masseur (le donneur). Mettant à profit trente années de pratique, de recherches et d'enseignement (dix mille patients traités et un millier d'élèves), Gérard Monsterleet a modifié les techniques du drainage lymphatique classique. S'appuyant sur des conceptions développées en art martial asiatique, les techniques rassemblent et canalisent dans les mains les forces produites et cumulées par l'ensemble des propres mouvements du corps du masseur. L'impact sur le système lymphatique du sujet traité se trouve considérablement augmenté.La technique complète est ici entièrement décrite sous forme d'un guide pratique. Un descriptif complet de l'anatomie lymphatique superficielle selon Sappey et Testut éclaire le pourquoi des manoeuvres. La physiologie de la lymphe y est décrite, classiquement certes, mais aussi depuis le mode d'action de la main et à l'aune des travaux d'August Krogh, de Peter Gamble et d'Alexandre Salmanoff notamment.

In this book, Michael Jacobs follows the trail of the Moors of Spain, exiled from their last kingdom of Granada in 1492. This extraordinary journey takes in ruins and discos in Andalucía, masseurs and literary lions in Morocco, before finishing in the mud mosques of Timbuktu, where families still keep the key to the house in Granada that they 500 years ago. On the way Jacobs conjures up a cast of irrepressibly alluring adulterers, louche fixers, kings, professors, poets, cobblers, and voyagers, in a kaleidoscope of fiction, history, journey, and imagination.

This is a story told in the first person by a blind man. His name is Louis Dunkel, and he is a masseur. The scene is Cornwall, where he is staying at the house of a patient, Mrs. Nance, whose niece, Sophie, falls in love with him. Their affair, momentarily broken by the strange intrusion of the far more seriously afflicted Amity Nance, is recounted in a prose of great delicacy and precision. `The Blaze of Noon' was written in 1938 and first published the following year in circumstances which Mr. Heppenstall amusingly describes in a prefatory note to the present edition. The book carried a warmly commendatory foreword by Elizabeth Bowen.
