By one of the most profoundly influential thinkers of our century, The Rebel is a classic essay on revolution. For Albert Camus, the urge to revolt is one of the "essential dimensions" of human nature, manifested in man's timeless Promethean struggle against the conditions of his existence, as well as the popular uprisings against established orders throughout history. And yet, with an eye toward the French Revolution and its regicides and deicides, he shows how inevitably the course of revolution leads to tyranny. As old regimes throughout the world collapse, The Rebel resonates as an ardent, eloquent, and supremely rational voice of conscience for our tumultuous times. Translated from the French by Anthony Bower.

The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.

Ambivalence towards kings, and other sovereign powers, is deep-seated in medieval culture: sovereigns might provide justice, but were always potential tyrants, who usurped power and 'stole' through taxation. Rebel Barons writes the history of this ambivalence, which was especially acute in England, France, and Italy in the twelfth to fifteenth centuries, when the modern ideology of sovereignty, arguing for monopolies on justice and the legitimate use of violence, was developed. Sovereign powers asserted themselves militarily and economically provoking complex phenomena of resistance by aristocrats. This volume argues that the chansons de geste, the key genre for disseminating models of violent noble opposition to sovereigns, offer a powerful way of understanding acts of resistance. Traditionally seen as France's epic literary monuments - the Chanson de Roland is often presented as foundational of French literature - chansons de geste in fact come from areas antagonistic to France, such as Burgundy, England, Flanders, Occitania, and Italy, where they were reworked repeatedly from the twelfth century to the fifteenth and recast into prose and chronicle forms. Rebel baron narratives were the principal vehicle for aristocratic concerns about tyranny, for models of violent opposition to sovereigns and for fantasies of escape from the Carolingian world via crusade and Oriental adventures. Rebel Barons reads this corpus across its full range of historical and geographical relevance, and through changes in form, as well as placing it in dialogue with medieval political theory, to bring out the contributions of literary texts to political debates. Revealing the widespread and long-lived importance of these anti-royalist works supporting regional aristocratic rights to feud and revolt, Rebel Barons reshapes our knowledge of reactions to changing political realities at a crux period in European history.

"A WORK OF GREAT DRAMATIC POWER climaxing in the final hundred pages where he writes a full, searing narrative of the patriot leaders' last days . . . It's powerful stuff." --The Sunday Press (Ireland) On Easter Monday of 1916, a thousand Irish men and women, armed with pikes and rifles, took over the center of Dublin and proclaimed a republic. It was a rash, doomed, symbolic uprising, and the rebel leaders knew it. Crack British troops killed and wounded hundreds of the rebels in the week of fighting, and British artillery shells left Dublin's city center in ruins. But the Rising of 1916 was not in vain. The short-lived insurrection and the subsequent executions of sixteen rebel leaders galvanized the Irish people. The overthrow of seven centuries of British rule in Ireland began on Easter Monday, 1916. In Rebels, Peter de Rosa, author of the bestselling Vicars of Christ, tells the story of the 1916 Rising in all its terror and beauty. With the dramatic flair of a novelist and the scrupulous accuracy of a professional historian, de Rosa brings to life the people, passions, politics, and repercussions of this historic event.

Winner of the 2014 Mexican Book Prize In the middle of the twentieth century, a growing tide of student activism in Mexico reached a level that could not be ignored, culminating with the 1968 movement. This book traces the rise, growth, and consequences of Mexico's "student problem" during the long sixties (1956-1971). Historian Jaime M. Pensado closely analyzes student politics and youth culture during this period, as well as reactions to them on the part of competing actors. Examining student unrest and youthful militancy in the forms of sponsored student thuggery (porrismo), provocation, clientelism (charrismo estudiantil), and fun (relajo), Pensado offers insight into larger issues of state formation and resistance. He draws particular attention to the shifting notions of youth in Cold War Mexico and details the impact of the Cuban Revolution in Mexico's universities. In doing so, Pensado demonstrates the ways in which deviating authorities—inside and outside the government—responded differently to student unrest, and provides a compelling explanation for the longevity of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional.

An Irish Rebel in New Spain recounts the story of the so-called Irish Zorro, who, in 1659, was burned at the stake for conspiring against the empire to make himself king of Mexico, restore the privileges of the Indigenous people, end the persecution of the Jews, and free the African slaves. William Lamport was an Irish rebel, a soldier, a poet, and a thinker. His Catholic family lost their land and their religious freedom after the English conquest of Ireland. In 1640, Lamport emigrated to New Spain, where he witnessed the abuses of the colonial system and later ran afoul of the Mexican Inquisition. Imprisoned in 1642, Lamport argued his own defense as well as that of the Jews who were in prison with him. Along with a concise biography, this volume provides an anthology of Lamport’s most representative writings: his detailed project for a Spanish-supported Irish insurrection; a manifesto and plan for a Mexican uprising against Spain; his self-defense, which he nailed to the doors of the cathedral when he managed to momentarily escape from prison; a selection of his poetry; and the court documents about the accusation that led him to the pyre. This concise, compelling, and original reflection on the systems of (in)justice in seventeenth-century Mexico is designed for classes on early modern Spain, colonial Latin America, and the Inquisition. Those with an affinity for Irish history will also enjoy learning about the colorful life of William Lamport.

With unmatched suspense and her signature cinematic storytelling, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Marie Lu plunges readers back into the unforgettable world of Legend for a truly grand finale. Eden Wing has been living in his brother’s shadow for years. Even though he’s a top student at his academy in Ross City, Antarctica, and a brilliant inventor, most people know him only as Daniel Wing’s little brother. A decade ago, Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. But Day is no longer the same young man who was once a national hero. These days he’d rather hide out from the world and leave his past behind. All that matters to him now is keeping Eden safe—even if that also means giving up June, the great love of Daniel’s life. As the two brothers struggle to accept who they’ve each become since their time in the Republic, a new danger creeps into the distance that’s grown between them. Eden soon finds himself drawn so far into Ross City’s dark side, even his legendary brother can’t save him. At least not on his own . . .

Les rêves sont faits pour être réalisés... La vie de Lucille s’est arrêtée le jour où elle a appris que son frère était atteint d'une leucémie. Il est devenu sa priorité. Alors, quand une association propose à Jonathan de réaliser son rêve ultime, suivre le célèbre groupe de rock The Rebel Sinners dans sa tournée européenne, Lucille n’hésite pas longtemps pour l’accompagner. Une rencontre sans fausse note ? Pas tout à fait. Charlie, le leader charismatique du groupe, se montre dès le départ grossier avec Lucille. Choquée par son comportement, elle compte bien l’éviter, mais ils sont irrémédiablement attirés l’un par l’autre. Le musicien a toujours pensé qu’il était égoïste, irrécupérable... Et si Lucille et son frère réveillaient ce qu’il y a de meilleur en Charlie ? *** Charlie ne me laisse pas le temps de réagir ; il me plaque encore un peu plus contre son torse, et je ne peux qu’assister, impuissante, au rapprochement de ses lèvres vers mon visage. Complètement tétanisée, n’osant bouger, je subis. Non plutôt je savoure. Il m’embrasse, d’un coup, sans préavis, sans me demander mon avis. Ses lèvres s’abattent sur les miennes, et se mettent en mouvement aussitôt. Ce n’est pas un baiser violent, non. C’est doux, c’est lent, c’est irrésistible. Au lieu de le repousser, je me laisse faire. Apparemment, ma conscience s’est fait la malle, partie soudainement en vacances et remplacée par la concupiscence, qui prend le pouvoir sur mon cerveau comme anesthésié. Et visiblement, il est plus que d’accord, le traître ! Mes lèvres accompagnent le mouvement des siennes, comme avides d’un toucher qu’elles n’ont pas connu depuis des mois. Mes mains se posent sur son torse, et je penche la tête pour suivre Charlie, que je sens sourire sur ma bouche. Et là, comme un boomerang, la situation me revient en pleine face : la boîte, la piste, les danseurs autour, et le gars que je suis en train d’embrasser ! Celui-là même qui m’a insultée dès le premier jour, celui-là même qui s’est tapé une groupie dans sa loge quelques minutes plus tard. Je ne lui en veux pas pour ça, mais je ne peux pas continuer cette bévue : je n’ai pas le temps pour ce genre de connerie qui ne peut que me revenir en pleine face à un moment ou à un autre. Ce type ne m’apportera que des ennuis et me détournera de mes objectifs. D’un geste brusque, je repousse Charlie et me dégage de ses lèvres. Merde, merde, merde, qu’est-ce qui m’a pris ? J’aurais dû le repousser tout de suite et tuer ce rapprochement dans l’œuf. Merrrrde ! Pourquoi j’ai fait ça ? Bah, je le sais très bien. Non seulement mon corps est en manque de rapprochements physiques avec la gent masculine, mais en plus, si je me veux honnête, Charlie me fait de l’effet. J’ai essayé de ne pas faire attention à son physique d’Apollon, à sa voix grave et éraillée qui fait mouiller les petites culottes de ses groupies, à ses petites attentions. Grillée, cocotte, t’es grillée ! Toi aussi tu fais la fan en rut, andouille ! *** The Rebel Sinners, de Clara Nové, premiers chapitres du roman.
