Tinkering with the current educational system from within has not provided a just and equitable education for all children. In this book, acclaimed education theorist Joanne Larson poses basic questions about the nature and purpose of schooling. Proposing that what is needed is a new purpose that is more consistent with contemporary knowledge production processes--one that moves beyond the either/or binary of preparing workers/citizens in a competitive global economy or a democracy, Larson argues that the only real solution is to start over in U.S. education--the purpose of schooling should be to facilitate human learning, meaning making, and knowledge production toward just and equitable education for all. Radical Equality in Education offers a new ontological starting point and a new theoretical framing that would follow from it; articulates theoretical, curricular, pedagogical, and assessment principles that frame a real plan for fundamental change in American education, and presents examples of what these ideas might look like in schools and communities.… (altro)

Bien que l'Idée d'un manuscrit perdu qui excite la convoitise ne soit pas nouvelle, j'ai beaucoup aimé en apparendre davantage sur les origines de la mythologie nordique et le rôle qu'elle a joué dans l'idéologie nazie.
Les personnages complexes, l'intrigue et le sujet sont menés avec une grande dexterité. La fin est sans doute exagérée, mais que vaudrait un suspens sans un dénouement spectaculaire?
Un ivre intéressant qui tient en haleine. ( )

This was a very exciting reading. A young Icelandic student is studying old Icelandic literature in Copenhagen. His professor has long been chasing the original 'Edda' manuscript, which was written on parchment.
Their search leads them to East Germany, whereby they are not afraid to open a grave and also in Berlin shortly after WWII they look for booksellers who are found murdered after their visit. Soon they are the hunted. On the one hand by the police and on the other hand by the malefactor who goes over dead bodies.
Can they find the missing pages again?
This captivating thriller is exciting from the first to the last page. ( )

A young Icelandic student heads to Copenhagen to study ancient Icelandic literature. In Copenhagen he meets a famous professor who takes him on a hunt to find the original manuscript of the 'Edda', the great ancient Icelandic literary work. The manuscript was stolen from the professor by a nazi book collector during the second world war. In a journey through northern Europe, they get into all sorts of troubles. It turns out that the nazi's themselves lost the manuscript in the bombing of Berlin, and in their attempt to find it they run into the son of the nazi-commander who stole the manuscript. He is also looking for the manuscript - and is prepared to go to great lengths to obtain it.
In the end they do manage to find the manuscript - but part of it is lost forever.
A nice, easy read with plenty of twists and turns, though many events seem a bit unlikely. Though the professor knows from the beginning that the nazi's are on his heels, he takes no precautions whatsoever and seems surprised by the fact that they keep turning up. The fragile manuscripts are handled rather carelessly and survive being buried for centuries and the bombing of Berlin, which seems somewhat unlikely. It's an interesting premise that the nazi's may have stolen ancient manuscripts, but the idea could have been worked out better and more realistically.
The book is represented as based on fact, but the only 'fact' about the whole story is that part of the Edda-manuscript is indeed missing, all the surrounding story is made up, so I found the 'fact' part a bit disappointing - I was expecting it to be more factual and less fantasy.
Not a bad read, but not great either - I'll be abandoning the book in a little free library. ( )

Als Het koningsboek één ding duidelijk maakt, dan is het wel dat Indriðason Erlendur niet nodig heeft om een goede misdaadroman te schrijven.

J'avais entendu parler dans un hors-série Le Magazine littéraire / Marianne daté de juillet 2013 d'un roman intitulé Le livre du roi. Ce n'était pas forcément une bonne chose car j'avais trouvé qu'ils en faisaient beaucoup avec leur dossier et que tout ça sentait un peu trop la propagande. Mais bon, je décide quand même de tenter l'aventure — c'est *Le Magazine littéraire* quand même. Je ne sais pas pour quelle raison, mais j'avais envie d'un roman un peu dans le genre que je nomme ésotérique. Même si ce n'est pas le terme idoine, il regroupe pour moi des romans allant de ceux du très élitiste Umberto Eco à ceux du plus populaire Dan Brown. Des fois on a des envies qui ne s'expliquent pas.

Je dois avouer que j'ai d'abord passé un bon moment en lisant ce roman. Ce n’est certainement pas de la grande littérature, mais les premiers chapitres sont suffisamment divertissants et facile à suivre — ce qui est quand même appréciable parfois. Les clichés sont tous là — youpi. A force de les croiser, ils sont devenus de vieux amis, des connaissances auxquelles on s’est attaché au fil du temps. Ce n’est pas désagréable de les retrouver. Le jeune homme naïf qui arrive à la ville et qui fait la rencontre du vieux professeur un peu fou et acariâtre, mais terriblement doué.

Bon après 218 pages, je jette l'éponge. Ce n'était pourtant pas déplaisant — comme une balade en barque sur un étang artificiel —, mais au bout d'un moment, il faut bien avouer que l'on s'ennuie quand même un peu.

Autant être clair, le curseur est bien côté Dan Brown on est très loin de Eco — le dossier était bien bidon, les journalistes ne m'avaient pas paru trop à l'aise sur le coup, si ça ne sent pas la promo à plein nez. Il faut tout de même porter une chose au crédit d'Arnaldur Indridason. Contrairement à Dan Brown, son livre n'est pas formaté pour devenir un scénario de film hollywoodien. Après ces 218 pages j'ai bien vu quelques méchants, mais je n'ai pas eu le bonheur d'assister à la grande histoire d'amour qui fait partie du cahier des charges de tout bon blockbuster.

Dommage car l'auteur semble avoir une bonne connaissance des manuscrits anciens islandais, mais n'en tire pas matière pour son histoire. Les deux personnages principaux sont à la recherche d'un manuscrit, mais ce serait peu ou prou la même chose s'ils cherchaient un ancien joyau ou un objet quelconque du patrimoine.

Le choix du type de narration n'aide pas vraiment à insuffler du dynamisme à l'histoire. En utilisant un narrateur homodiégétique (le narrateur est présent comme personnage dans l'histoire qu'il raconte, c'est un récit à la première personne) et une perspective passant par le narrateur (on ne peut normalement savoir que ce que sait le narrateur), le romancier islandais s'est imposé une contrainte inutile et assez pénalisante.

Les amateurs de Dan Brown apprécieront certainement ce livre, les autres pas. http://www.aubonroman.com/2014/02/le-livre-du-roi-par-arnaldur-indridason.html ( )
