Book excerpt: Valentine est un roman de George Sand, paru en 1832 chez H. Dupuy (Paris). Cette oeuvre fait partie des romans dits � f�ministes � de George Sand. Valentine est un roman de genre romantique.R�sum� : Enfant, Valentine a �t� choy�e par sa demi-soeur Louise. La Comtesse de Raimbault, m�re de Valentine et belle-m�re de Louise, a chass� cette derni�re. La malheureuse Louise avait �t� s�duite et mise enceinte par un amant de la Comtesse. Cette femme sans coeur est aigrie, car elle ne peut plus briller dans le monde. Elle veut se d�barrasser de sa fille Valentine, dont la jeune beaut� lui fait ombrage. Elle a d�cid� de la marier au Comte de Lansac, un homme veule dont la seule passion est le jeu et qui aimerait bien, pour �ponger ses dettes, s''emparer de la fortune de Valentine. Louise a appris le prochain mariage de sa soeur. Elle est venue s�journer clandestinement chez sa nourrice Mme Lhery et esp�re pouvoir rencontrer Valentine. Les Lhery sont des paysans enrichis qui ont �t� toute leur vie au service des Raimbault. Leur aisance mat�rielle leur a permis de recueillir leur neveu B�n�dict, jeune homme passionn� et perp�tuellement insatisfait. Les Lhery souhaitent le voir �pouser leur fille Ath�na�s qui est tr�s amoureuse de lui. B�n�dict trouve sa cousine trop vaniteuse et pr�f�re courtiser Louise qu''il juge plus m�ritante. Louise, bien que tr�s amoureuse de lui, le repousse car elle voudrait le voir s''engager dans une carri�re ambitieuse qui pourrait �tre compromise par sa faute. Lors d''une f�te de village, les gens du ch�teau de Raimbault et ceux de la ferme se rencontrent. En rentrant chez elle � cheval, Valentine se perd et croise B�n�dict qui la conduit � Louise. Les retrouvailles sont �mouvantes. Valentine prend l''habitude de faire de fr�quentes visites � la ferme et un amour na�t entre B�n�dict et Valentine sous l''oeil jaloux de Louise et d''Ath�na�s. Malheureusement, Valentine est contrainte d''�pouser le Comte de Lansac, et, le m�me jour, d�pit�e de ne pouvoir gagner le coeur de son cousin, Ath�na�s se marie � un paysan, Pierre Blutty. Le soir des noces, Valentine refuse l''acc�s de sa chambre au Comte et tombe subitement malade. Durant cette sc�ne, B�n�dict �tait dissimul� dans la chambre. Il m�rissait des id�es criminelles : tuer le Comte, puis Valentine, puis lui-m�me. Finalement, il s''enfuit en pleine campagne pour se tirer une balle dans la t�te. Il est gri�vement bless�, mais il survit. Le Comte de Lansac part en Russie. Valentine, Louise, Ath�na�s et B�n�dict s''am�nagent alors une vie heureuse et discr�te dans un petit pavillon du parc. Mais le Comte revient au ch�teau avec un cr�ancier qui d�pouille Valentine de tous ses biens...Extrait : C''�tait une femme petite et mince qui, au premier abord, semblait �g�e de vingt-cinq ans ; mais, en la voyant de pr�s, on pouvait lui en accorder trente sans craindre d''�tre trop lib�ral envers elle. Sa taille fluette et bien prise avait encore la gr�ce de la jeunesse ; mais son visage, � la fois noble et joli, portait les traces du chagrin, qui fl�trit encore plus que les ann�es. Sa mise n�glig�e, ses cheveux plats, son air calme, t�moignaient assez l''intention de ne point aller � la f�te. Mais, dans la petitesse de sa pantoufle, dans l''arrangement d�cent et gracieux de sa robe grise, dans la blancheur de son cou, dans sa d�marche souple et mesur�e, il y avait plus d''aristocratie v�ritable que dans tous les joyaux d''Ath�na�s...Biographie : George Sand1 est le pseudonyme d''Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin, baronne Dudevant, romanci�re, auteur dramatique, critique litt�raire fran�aise, journaliste, n�e � Paris le 1er juillet 1804 et morte au ch�teau de Nohant-Vic le 8 juin 1876. Elle compte parmi les �crivains prolifiques avec plus de soixante-dix romans � son actif, cinquante volumes d''oeuvres diverses dont des nouvelles, des contes, des pi�ces de th��tre et des textes politiques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opéra-comique, like grand opéra, a specifically French genre of opera, emerged from the political changes and intellectual discussion that played a recurrent role in determining the nature of artistic expression and production in Paris from the late 17th until the mid-18th centuries. Opéra-comique is distinguished by its use of spoken dialogue to link the arias and sung parts, and its more restrained use of recitatives. It emerged out of the popular entertainments, called opéras-comiques en vaudevilles, that were a feature of the theatres held at the seasonal Parisian fairs of St Germain and St Laurent, and of the Comédie-Italienne. The similarity of the entertainments provided by the Comédie-Italienne and the fairs resulted in their amalgamation on 3 February 1756, when they established a theatre for their joint productions, the Hôtel Bourgogne. Their type of entertainment, combining existing popular tunes with spoken sections, lent its generic name to this house, which, regardless of its changing venue, would become known as the Opéra-Comique. The genre of opéra-comique exercised a powerful popular appeal because of its unique fusion of fixed musical form with fluid improvised dialogue. The well-known airs of the day, invariably strophic, came to be the genre’s staple medium of artistic expression—the couplets. But opéra-comique was not necessarily comic or light in nature. Indeed, the most famous example, Bizet’s Carmen (1875), is a tragedy. The genre, with its unique mixture of comedy and drama, its captivating musical fluency, its handling of serious and Romantic themes—expertly crafted by its most famous librettist Augustin-Eugène Scribe (1791-1861)—became universally popular in the masterpieces of its heyday between 1820 and 1870: Adrien Boieldieu’s La Dame blanche (1825), Daniel-François-Esprit Auber’s Fra Diavolo (1830) and Le Domino noir (1837), Ferdinand Hérold’s Zampa (1831) and Le Pré aux clercs (1832), Fromental Halévy’s L’Éclair (1835) and Ambroise Thomas’s Mignon (1866). The history of the opéra-comique between 1762 and 1915 reflects the political and cultural life of France—from the last days of the ancien régime, through the tumult of the Revolution and Napoleonic era, the July Monarchy and Second Empire, to the shattering defeat of France by Prussia in 1870. After this, apart from isolated works (by Bizet, Delibes, Offenbach, Massenet), new works by the younger generation of musicians now tended to be French adaptations of the Wagnerian aesthetic and the record of success is very thin. Hardly any native French works in this imitative mode premiered at the Opéra-Comique between 1870 and 1915 have survived—apart from Debussy’s unique Pelléas et Mélisande (1902). This study serves as a sourcebook for this very French genre, with details of forgotten composers, their operas—performance dates, plot summaries, the singers who created them, the names of important numbers in the works (from libretti and scores that are either now to be found only in the Paris libraries, or are lost completely), often with contemporary observations about the reception of particular works, the effectiveness of their dramaturgy and music. It provides a resource for operatic culture and convention, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The record of the fortunes of the Opéra-Comique provides a way into the changing culture and aesthetic values of an age.
