Book excerpt: Christiane Mervaud, 'Bestiaires de Voltaire' Pourquoi s'int resser la pr sence des b tes dans l'uvre de Voltaire? Le nombre d'occurrences relatives au r gne animal ne peut laisser indiff rent. Sans n gliger l'apport de la biographie, la recherche s'est efforc e d'abord de d terminer comment la philosophie de Voltaire r agit l' preuve de l'animalit , ce qui a conduit souligner son rejet de la th orie cart sienne de l'animal-machine, son int r t pour les singularit s de la nature. Mais si Voltaire se tient au courant des d veloppements des sciences naturelles, il s'int resse surtout, en historien, au statut de l'animal dans les soci t s et son r le dans les mythologies. Les b tes servent d'observatoire privil gi pour juger de la marche de l'esprit humain. La typologie zoologique d pend d'une typologie textuelle. Alors que la m nagerie du pol miste exploite sans vergogne pr jug s et clich s, dans les bestiaires fabuleux et religieux se d ploie une activit ludique et d sacralisante. Le bestiaire amoureux se permet des variations sur le th me de la bestialit , dans une atmosph re irr elle ou surr elle. L'animal est, bien des titres, un r v lateur de la pens e de Voltaire, une pierre de touche de sa philosophie, un condens de recherches historico-religieuses, un d clic pour la cr ation litt raire, un champ ouvert sa r flexion et sa fantaisie. Fr d ric Deloffre, 'Gen se de Candide tude de la cr ation des personnages et de l' laboration du roman' La pr sente tude ne consid re pas Candide comme une uvre philosophique, mais comme un roman. Voltaire a toujours profess que l'magination ne cr e pas, mais ne fait qu'arranger ce que lui fournit la m moire; nous avons donc recherch quels v nements personnels lui avaient fourni le sch ma de son histoire, quels personnages rencontr s lui avaient inspir ses h ros. Nous n'avons retenu comme significatives que les donn es qui se rattachent des ensembles, parmi lesquels nous avons privil gi celui qui s'organise autour du lieu fondateur, Thunder-ten-Tronckh, transposition satirique du ch teau de B ckeburg. C'est l que Voltaire a rencontr Henri Le Ma tre, chapelain du lieu, dont il fera Pangloss, et Mme Bentinck, la 'franche westphalienne' qui pr tera des traits Cun gonde; c'est l aussi que fut voqu Fr d ric II, qui passera dans le second chapitre du roman sous le nom du 'roi de Bulgares'. Ce 'fonds m moriel' de B ckeburg/Thunder-ten-tronckh fournit la mati re des quatre premiers chapitres, consacr s respectivement aux conversations de B ckeburg, Pangloss, Cun gonde, et aux relations entre 'Candide et le roi des Bulgares'. Le chapitre 5 tudie le processus par lequel le jeu de r les entre Voltaire et Mme Bentinck finit par rejoindre la fois le roman et la r alit . C'est un nouvel aspect du romancier qui se profile ainsi derri re le philosophe.

Paul Getty Museum is fortunate to have in its decorative arts collection twenty clocks dating from around 1680 to 1798: eighteen produced in France and two in Germany.

In this handsome volume, each clock is pictured and discussed in detail, and each movement diagrammed and described. In addition, biographies of the clockmakers and enamelers are included, as are indexes of the names of the makers, previous owners, and locations.

Book Synopsis The Order of Minims in Seventeenth-Century France by : P.J.S. Whitmore
Download or read book The Order of Minims in Seventeenth-Century France written by P.J.S. Whitmore and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking of the text from the Dies frae (S. Matthew, XXV, 40). It is also probable that this other Saint Francis, partly out of admiration for his illustrious compatriot of Assisi and partly from a compelling urge to be superlative in all things, chose the title in opposition to the Franciscans, the Fratres Minori, l who had previously adopted this style taken from Saint Matthew, XXIII, 8. The title "Minim" was confirmed in these words" ... eosque Eremitos Ordinis Minimorum Fratrum Eremitarum F. Francesci de Paula in posterum nuncupari," taken from the Papal Bull, Meritis religiosae vitae, of 26 February, 1493. The earliest reference to the Order in France is in a fragment preserved in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal called, La regle et vie de Frere Franfois, pauvre et humble hermite de Paule, laquelle donne a tous ses 2 freres voulant entrer et vivre en son ordre. The dating of this manuscript should be accepted with considerable reserve; it bears a clearly legible "1474," although it seems most unlikely that any reference to an Order occurred before the Bull of 1493 or that any Rule appeared in French before the Founder's visit to Louis XI in 1483. 3 The fame of Francis and his reputation as a "guerisseur" had reached the French court where Louis XI was sick and dying; the King summoned him to the chateau of Le Plessis-Ies-Tours, but it required the intervention of the Pope to make the hermit undertake the journey
Book Synopsis Salvator Rosa in French Literature by : James Patty
Download or read book Salvator Rosa in French Literature written by James Patty and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Book Synopsis A History of the French in London by : Debra Kelly
Download or read book A History of the French in London written by Debra Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines, for the first time, the history of the social, cultural, political and economic presence of the French in London, and explores the multiple ways in which this presence has contributed to the life of the city. The capital has often provided a place of refuge, from the Huguenots in the 17th century, through the period of the French Revolution, to various exile communities during the 19th century, and on to the Free French in the Second World War.It also considers the generation of French citizens who settled in post-war London, and goes on to provide insights into the contemporary French presence by assessing the motives and lives of French people seeking new opportunities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It analyses the impact that the French have had historically, and continue to have, on London life in the arts, gastronomy, business, industry and education, manifest in diverse places and institutions from the religious to the political via the educational, to the commercial and creative industries.
