Par une brumeuse matinée de 1934, Elvira Western quitte son confort londonien et son mari pour rejoindre à Paris son jeune amant, Oliver Fenton, un étudiant anglais exalté. Mais, rapidement, l'escapade se transforme en journées languides dans les cafés de Saint-Germain-des-Prés en compagnie de journalistes débauchés, de bourgeois extravagants et d'une danseuse de cabaret désargentée. De flûtes de champagne en apéritifs, de déconvenues amoureuses en rencontres nocturnes surréelles, Elvira doute de son choix, jusqu'à regretter sa vie avec Paul, son époux, qui tente de la reconquérir. Ce drame romantique avant-gardiste dépeint, dans le Paris fantasmagorique et électrique de l'entre-deux-guerres, les passions paradoxales d'une femme trop intelligente, espiègle et inconstante pour aimer. Traduction de l'anglais (Australie) par Lori Saint-Martin et Paul Gagné.

Adulée par Jonathan Franzen, Angela Carter ou Robert Stone, Christina Stead (1902-1983) est née en Australie et a vécu en Europe ainsi qu’aux États-Unis. Son quatrième livre, L’homme qui aimait les enfants, l’a consacrée comme l’une des plus importantes romancières du xxe siècle. Gemme oubliée au style phénoménal, dressant une satire sociale implacablement moderne, Splendeurs et Fureurs n’avait jamais été traduit en français.

Each theory is explored through cultural and historical contexts, key concepts, research applications, and contemporary implications for practice, and is supported by engaging case vignettes, as well as an analysis of how it answers four key questions that should be addressed by a theory of development.The theories are grouped into three families: those that emphasize biological systems, those that focus on environmental factors, and those that reflect the interaction between the two, allowing readers to systematically evaluate and compare theoretical perspectives both within and across families.Key features of the fourth edition include:A new focus on the implications of theory for practice, highlighting primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions, spanning different developmental periods and professional domains to demonstrate real-world relevancePedagogical features and case material throughout to foster active learning and critical thinkingExpanded coverage of how individual differences emerge through interactions among biological, environmental, and social factors, as well as through agency and life decisions, thereby promoting understanding of diverse developmental pathwaysAn exploration of the implications of each theory for structural factors that may advantage or disadvantage individuals within different groups of peopleA full suite of updated instructor resources, including discussion questions, classroom activities, and further readingsThis comprehensive book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, human development, family studies, education, social work, and public health.
