Book Synopsis The Life of Jesus by : François Mauriac
Download or read book The Life of Jesus written by François Mauriac and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Life of Jesus is Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac's character study of Jesus Christ. As a novelist, Mauriac is aptly suited to accomplish his mission: to show the meaning of Christ for an ordinary Christian, strongly bound up with the things of the world. In his other writings, Mauriac depicted the sadness and suffering of ordinary human existence; here, he shows the light that illuminates the darkness--the light that is the Christ, the Son of God. Pairing the solid foundation of Scripture with his distinctive visceral style, Mauriac leads the reader through Christ's early years, his public ministry and miracles, and his passion, death, and resurrection. The episodic structure of the book makes it a powerful aid for meditation, especially during Holy Week."--from back cover.

It is the unforgettable tale of the battle for one man's soul.
Download or read book Maltaverne written by François Mauriac and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mauriac, the most important writer of the modern French Catholic revival and one of the half‐dozen greatest European novelists of this century. Mauriac is the moral historian and chronicler of a region: the pine barrens of southwestern France called Les Landes with its regional capital at Bordeaux; of a social class, the upper bourgeoisie who live in big gloomy houses in Bordeaux but often have their wealth -- or once had it -- from the relentless harvesting of pit props and pine resin on large forest estates like Maltaverne, which they constantly plot to make larger; of the spiritual condition of this class, whose representatives are at once cruelly materialistic and deeply religious according to the rigors of the Jansenist conscience, people both clannish and selfish and yet poignantly human in the intensity of their loves and hates. They are without what is called “Gallic charm,” and some of them are monsters whom only God (and Mauriac) could love, and this is surely as Mauriac intends.
Download or read book François Mauriac written by Edward Welch and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2006 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While François Mauriac's reputation as a novelist is well established, it is often forgotten that fiction forms only part of his output, and that in the post-war years especially, it was principally his activities as a journalist which kept him in the public eye. His interventions in the key debates of the period helped to consolidate his position as a major intellectual alongside Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. This book examines the evolution of François Mauriac's career during the twentieth century, and his gradual transformation from novelist to intellectual. Situating Mauriac and his activities firmly in their socio-cultural context, it draws in particular on the insights provided by Bourdieusian sociology to explore the mechanisms and social processes which allow Mauriac to emerge as an authoritative voice of moral conscience. In doing so, it offers new perspective on key moments in his career, from his changing fortunes as a novelist in the 1930s, examined here for the first time through the prism of his reception by the influential Nouvelle Revue française, to his unlikely collaboration with the then-radical L'Express in the 1950s. At the same time, it argues that tracing Mauriac's trajectory helps to crystallise the broader changes affecting the literary and cultural landscape in France during the twentieth century.
Download or read book Mauriac written by Paul Cooke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although internationally renowned as a novelist, journalist, and essayist, Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac (1885-1970) never established a reputation as a poet. Yet it was Maurice Barrès’s favourable review of his first collection of verse, Les Mains jointes, that launched Mauriac’s career in 1910. He went on to publish three further collections of poems and insisted to the end of his life that, despite critical neglect of his verse, he remained first and foremost a poet. This book offers the first ever in-depth exploration of the whole of Mauriac’s verse output. After a chapter tracing his general conception of poetry and comparing his ideas to those of other poets and theorists, each of Mauriac’s verse collections is analysed in turn, as are many of his poems that were published exclusively in literary journals. A final chapter explores the significant relationship between Mauriac’s verse and his novels, revealing the multiple connections between these two series of texts. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in twentieth-century French poetry and, more generally, to those interested in the relationship between verse and prose.
