Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Wit and Humor: A Collection From Various Sources Classified in Chronological Order and Under Appropriate Subject Headings French wit is light, ephemeral; it is appreci ated but at a glimpse, in a flash; if you ponder on it you will find nothing or too much! The difference of geniuses of the races was the great obstacle; the difference of tongues was a secondary one; it precluded at once all play of words either on account of similitude of asso nance or of double meanings. Therefore the chronological order seemed the only effective one, so as to give a kind of kaleidoscopical view of French society, manners and state of mind, at the several important epochs of the French nation's life. It has been said that English is the Latin and French the Greek of coming generations if this little book should in its feeble scope contribute to preserve the atticism, the sui generis fla vor of French thought and wit, it will accomplish its end.

Download or read book La Pierre de Touche written by Émile Augier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Pierre De Touche: A Comedy Modern French playwrights commit another literary sin which stands in an odd paradoxical relation to the sin of preaching out of place. They deal, to sickening excess, with subjects and characters which, it is to be hoped, do not yet fill so large a space in French life as they do in French books. Let us take them at their word when they say that their purpose is to represent life as it really is. Are one-third of the women in France adventuresses? Certainly not; yet adventuresses make up about one-third of the number of female characters in modern French plays and novels. Is the subject of adultery and amorous in trigue the main occupation of French minds? Let us hope not; yet in these books there are scarcely more than two subjects seriously considered. The first, and chief one, is vice of this sort the second is the relation between the old nobility of blood and the new oligarchy of money.

Altogether an ideal offering for schools and colleges.

Download or read book Oreo written by Fran Ross and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution Napoleon in Literature Caricature There is no more fevered portion of the world's history than was comprehended in France between the fall of the Bastille and the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. The French Revolution was cosmopolitan. It was the protest of the ages against the growing usurpation of power. The hour developed a man. Admiration for a transcendent genius, gratitude for services to the nation, a crying need of order, made Napoleon Bonaparte emperor of the French. His downfall was due to the fact that he divorced liberty and civil equality, which were the principles of the French Revolution, and attempted the impossible in trying to make a nation free without making free the individuals who composed that nation.
