Book excerpt: Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

Book excerpt: Onze récits de mer réunis par Edouard Corbière et publiés en 1834, peu après les Pilotes de l'Iroise et le Négrier déjà remarqués par la critique en 1832. " On trouvera peut-être ce conte d'assez mauvais goût, et je conviendrai sans peine moi-même qu'il est bien loin de donner aux lecteurs une idée favorable de la littérature de bord ; mais l'intention qui m'a guidé en publiant ces esquisses, est celle d'offrir aux gens du monde la peinture, aussi exacte que possible, des moeurs des marins, et, sous ce dernier rapport, on ne peut nier que les contes dont s'amusent les hommes de mer ne portent l'empreinte la plus fidèle de leur caractère et des idées qu'ils se sont formées sur la plupart des choses qui occupent à terre une société à laquelle ils sont pour ainsi dire étrangers...

Download or read book The Conte written by Janice Carruthers and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A majority of the chapters in this book were originally presented as papers at a conference held at Queen's University Belfast in September 2006. The volume explores the oral-written dynamic in the conte français/francophone, focusing on key aspects of the relationship between oral and written forms of the conte. The chapters fall into four broad thematic areas (the oral-written dynamic in early modern France; literary appropriations and transformations; postcolonial contexts; storytelling in contemporary France: linguistic strategies). Within these broad areas, some chapters deal with sources and influences (such as that of written on oral and vice versa), others with the nature of the discourse resulting from an oral-written dynamic (discourse structure, linguistic features etc.), some with the oral-written interface as it affects the definition of genre, others with the role of the 'oral' within the literary or written text (use of storytelling scenarios, the problematics inherent in transcribing/adapting the spoken word etc.). This chronological and methodological range allows us to situate the emergence of the form in socio-cultural and historical terms, and to open up debate around the role of the conte in particular geographical and political contexts: regional, national, European and postcolonial. This book contains contributions in both English and French.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The selections are good and the translations are excellent."―Germaine Bree, New York University Drawn from two centuries of French literature, these superb selections by ten great writers span a wide variety of styles, philosophies, and literary creeds. The stories reflect not only the beliefs of various literary schools, but the preoccupations of French civilization, at the various times of their composition, with the metaphysical and psychological problems of man. Contents include Micromegas (Voltaire), La Messe de l'Athee (Honore de Balzac), La Legende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier (Gustave Flaubert), Le Spleen de Paris (Charles Baudelaire), Menuet (Guy de Maupassant), Mort de Judas (Paul Claudel), Le Retour de l'Enfant Prodigue (Andre Gide), Grand-Lebrun (Francois Mauriac), Le Passe-Muraille (Marcel Ayme), and L'Hote (Albert Camus). Students of French, or those who wish to refresh their knowledge of the language, will welcome this treasury of masterly fiction. The selections are arranged chronologically, allowing the reader to witness the development of French literary art--from Voltaire to Camus. Excellent English translations appear on pages facing the Original French. Also included are a French-English vocabulary list, textural notes, and exercises. Unabridged, slightly revised Dover (1990) edition of the work published by Bantam Books, Inc., 1960.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Par une froide et humide matinŽe de novembre, une pauvre femme, misŽrablement v�tue, Žtait assise aupr�s du lit de son enfant malade. On Žtait en 1818; l'annŽe avait ŽtŽ rude, la guerre civile avait ensanglantŽ les rues de Paris: Georges, le mari de Madeleine (c'Žtait le nom de la pauvre femme), avait ŽtŽ tuŽ derri�re une barricade, o� il dŽfendait l'Žmeute en croyant dŽfendre ses droits. Depuis cette mort fatale, la mis�re et l'abandon Žtaient entrŽs dans une famille que soutenait jusque-lˆ le travail de son chef; c'Žtait ˆ grand'peine que Madeleine avait pu louer une chambre au sixi�me Žtage dans une maison de la rue du Helder. Elle Žtait blanchisseuse en dentelles; pour garder ses pratiques, il lui fallait habiter un quartier o� tout Žtait cher; elle s'Žtait donc rŽsignŽe ˆ quitter le faubourg o� on l'avait mariŽe, o� elle avait perdu son cher Georges. En temps de rŽvolution, par malheur, on ne fait gu�re de toilette; l'ouvrage Žtait rare, dŽjˆ Madeleine Žtait en arri�re avec tous ses fournisseurs. Le boulanger avait annoncŽ qu'il arr�tait son crŽdit. Madeleine touchait au moment fatal qui perd les malheureux et fait d'une ouvri�re honn�te une mendiante, que dŽgraderont bient™t la faim et le dŽsespoir. Elle Žtait lˆ, les yeux rougis par les veilles et les larmes, regardant sa fille rongŽe par la fi�vre, cherchant en vain dans sa pensŽe comment elle trouverait pour le lendemain du travail et du pain, quand une main hardie tourna la clef de la porte et fit tressaillir la m�re et l'enfant.

Download or read book The French Atlantic Triangle written by Christopher L. Miller and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French slave trade forced more than one million Africans across the Atlantic to the islands of the Caribbean. It enabled France to establish Saint-Domingue, the single richest colony on earth, and it connected France, Africa, and the Caribbean permanently. Yet the impact of the slave trade on the cultures of France and its colonies has received surprisingly little attention. Until recently, France had not publicly acknowledged its history as a major slave-trading power. The distinguished scholar Christopher L. Miller proposes a thorough assessment of the French slave trade and its cultural ramifications, in a broad, circum-Atlantic inquiry. This magisterial work is the first comprehensive examination of the French Atlantic slave trade and its consequences as represented in the history, literature, and film of France and its former colonies in Africa and the Caribbean. Miller offers a historical introduction to the cultural and economic dynamics of the French slave trade, and he shows how Enlightenment thinkers such as Montesquieu and Voltaire mused about the enslavement of Africans, while Rousseau ignored it. He follows the twists and turns of attitude regarding the slave trade through the works of late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century French writers, including Olympe de Gouges, Madame de Staël, Madame de Duras, Prosper Mérimée, and Eugène Sue. For these authors, the slave trade was variously an object of sentiment, a moral conundrum, or an entertaining high-seas “adventure.” Turning to twentieth-century literature and film, Miller describes how artists from Africa and the Caribbean—including the writers Aimé Césaire, Maryse Condé, and Edouard Glissant, and the filmmakers Ousmane Sembene, Guy Deslauriers, and Roger Gnoan M’Bala—have confronted the aftermath of France’s slave trade, attempting to bridge the gaps between silence and disclosure, forgetfulness and memory.

Book excerpt: French Huguenots made enormous contributions to the life and culture of colonial New York during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Huguenot craftsmen were the city's most successful artisans, turning out unrivaled works of furniture which were distinguished by unique designs and arcane details. More than just decorative flourishes, however, the visual language employed by Huguenot artisans reflected a distinct belief system shaped during the religious wars of sixteenth-century France. In Fortress of the Soul, historian Neil Kamil traces the Huguenots' journey to New York from the Aunis-Saintonge region of southwestern France. There, in the sixteenth century, artisans had created a subterranean culture of clandestine workshops and meeting places inspired by the teachings of Bernard Palissy, a potter, alchemist, and philosopher who rejected the communal, militaristic ideology of the Huguenot majority which was centered in the walled city of La Rochelle. Palissy and his followers instead embraced a more fluid, portable, and discrete religious identity that encouraged members to practice their beliefs in secret while living safely—even prospering—as artisans in hostile communities. And when these artisans first fled France for England and Holland, then left Europe for America, they carried with them both their skills and their doctrine of artisanal security. Drawing on significant archival research and fresh interpretations of Huguenot material culture, Kamil offers an exhaustive and sophisticated study of the complex worldview of the Huguenot community. From the function of sacred violence and alchemy in the visual language of Huguenot artisans, to the impact among Protestants everywhere of the destruction of La Rochelle in 1628, to the ways in which New York's Huguenots interacted with each other and with other communities of religious dissenters and refugees, Fortress of the Soul brilliantly places American colonial history and material life firmly within the larger context of the early modern Atlantic world.
