A great Ruskin book that is better listened to than read because of the complexity and detail of his writing.

Acclaimed historian Mary McAuliffe vividly recaptures the Paris of Napoleon III, Claude Monet, and Victor Hugo as Georges Haussmann tore down and rebuilt Paris into the beautiful City of Light we know today. Paris, City of Dreams traces the transformation of the City of Light during Napoleon III’s Second Empire into the beloved city of today.

Ce cinquième tome est l’atelier final où la théorie devient chantier: un guide précis du « travail de maçonnerie » et de l’« art de toiser » qui apprend à mesurer, estimer et organiser une opération de construction de bout en bout. Rondelet y montre comment passer de l’ouvrage projeté au prix juste, en détaillant mesures métriques vs. anciennes, conversions, unités pratiques, et toutes les composantes d’un devis: matériaux, déchets, taille, montage, mortier, faux-frais et bénéfice.

Voici le tome de la mise en œuvre: un parcours complet de la charpente et de la couverture, qui part des origines en bois jusqu’aux combles les plus savants, pour guider du choix des essences au tracé des fermes, des cintres et des toitures selon le climat et l’usage. On y apprend quand couper le bois, comment le sécher, quelles propriétés attendre du chêne, du sapin, du mélèze ou du cèdre, et pourquoi certaines pièces résistent mieux au feu, aux vers ou à l’eau en fondations sur pilotis.

Voici le tome qui transforme la théorie en ouvrage: un guide vivant et rigoureux de la construction en pierre de taille, des appareils antiques aux principes de stabilité, jusqu’à la taille précise des voussoirs et la pose des voûtes les plus exigeantes. On y traverse Égypte, Grèce, Rome et même Andes pour comparer appareillages, dimensions colossales et liaisons, puis l’auteur formalise les règles: centre de gravité, équilibre, assises, parpaings, crampons, et chaînes de bois selon Vitruve.

Voici le volume où l’Art de bâtir devient une science exacte: un cours limpide de statique appliquée, qui relie calcul, géométrie et expérience pour dimensionner fondations, murs, arcs, dômes et contreforts avec sûreté. Rondelet y clarifie la place de la théorie (de Vitruve aux modernes) et montre comment centres de gravité, leviers, plans inclinés, frottement et poussées conduisent à des choix de formes, d’épaisseurs et d’appareils réellement stables.

Los moriscos nunca vencieron su vulnerabilidad, angustia, mortalidad y siempre estuvieron cuestionándose qué hacer, quién ser, por qué luchar y a qué darle valor. Vivieron dentro de un mundo interior de negación debido al sufrimiento y trauma que tuvieron a lo largo de su vida sintiendo una constante lucha interna por extrañar lo que fueron o lo que hubieran querido ser cuestionándose cosas sin encontrar respuestas a las mismas. Fueron conscientes de una realidad donde llegaron a ser lo que no quisieron ser. Donde el pasado dejó de existir.
