Book excerpt: "This study of Mauriac--a recent Nobel Prize Winner--is the first extensive critical assessment in English of a novelist whose reputation inside and outside of France appears to be both firmly established and highly debatable. François Mauriac is a Catholic novelist, not merely a novelist who happens to be a Catholic. The world in which his characters live and the moral law by which they succeed or fail are determined by theology. In a situation in which the judgement of the liberal critic may well be unsettled by the excessive desire to show himself aesthetically immune from theological irritations, this essay, written by a Christian theologian who is also a literary critic, must be of the greatest interest. Martin Jarrett-Kerr, after sketching the background and defining scope of Mauriac's novels, raises the problem of the apologetic novelists in the central section of his study. WIth the help of numerous examples he examines the crucial question of the authenticity of Mauriac's vision. Has Mauriac succeeded in embodying his theological convictions in a truly living world? Or are there points at which religious views and artistic vision remain apart, with the views intruding into the vision and upsetting its integrity? And, moreover, may not flaws in artistic creation reveal flaws in the underlying theological system? Literary examinations of this order are likely to profit from the double equipment, aesthetic and theological, that is at the disposal of the present writer" --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francois Mauriac, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1952, was famous for his subtle character portraits of the French rural classes and for depicting their struggles, aspirations and traditions. The Woman of the Pharisees, which was first published in English in 1946 and became one of Mauriac’s most accomplished novels, is a penetrating evocation of the moral and religious values of a Bordeaux community. In Brigitte, we see how the ideals of love and companionship are stifled in the presence of a self-righteous woman whose austere religious principals lead her to interfere—disastrously—in the lives of others. One by one the unwitting victims fall prey to the bleakness of her “perfection.” A conscientious schoolteacher, a saintly priest, her husband and stepdaughter and an innocent schoolboy are all confronted with tragedy and upheaval. But the author’s extraordinary gift for psychological insight goes on to show how redeeming features inevitably surface from disaster. The unfolding drama is seen through the discerning eye of a young Louis—Brigitte’s stepson—whose point of view is skillfully blended into the mature and understanding adult he later becomes. “Mauriac is one of the greatest novelists.”—The New York Times

Book excerpt: "This is Mauriac's first novel, and its appearance in English completes the collected presentation of his works here. Mauriac is the elder statesman of French literature and the Nobel prize-winner, and this small roman d'analyse, traditional in its concerns (he is the most profoundly Christian and Catholic of French writers), is also contemplative in its approach." - Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book François Mauriac written by Edward Welch and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 202 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.

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.

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.
