Download or read book Paul Morand written by Kimberly Philpot van Noort and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2001 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darling of the Jazz Age, the globe-trotting diplomat and acclaimed writer Paul Morand and his literary and political careers underwent a radical shift following his collaboration with the Vichy government during the Occupation of France. Abandoning the terse, glittering portraits of the contemporary era that had garnered him early fame, he turned to the past and to historical fiction, biography and autobiography.Paul Morand: The Politics and Practice of Writing in Post-War France, the first full-length study of Morand in English and the first ever of his post-war works, traces Morand's politically charged explorations of history as he obsessively rewrites the Occupation in historical guise. From Napoleonic Spain to the court of Louis XIV, nineteenth-century California, Revolutionary France and Venice across the ages, Morand probes the limits of historiography and genre as he constructs a curiously Benjaminian model of redemption for his collaborationist heroes. This book analyses Morand's post-war project, placing it within the highly-politicized context of writing during the de Gaullian era. Many issues are at stake in Morand's late oeuvre, from the genres of historical fiction, biography and autobiography, to the very act of historicization itself in the context of the post-war era. Morand's handling of these issues suggests that literature furnishes perhaps the best space within which the complex and highly political question of our ties to the past may be most tellingly examined.

Download or read book La Guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu written by Jean Giraudoux and published by Les beaux ebooks. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Andromaque : La guerre de Troie n’aura pas lieu, Cassandre ! Cassandre : Je te tiens un pari, Andromaque. Andromaque : Cet envoyé des Grecs a raison. On va bien le recevoir. On va bien lui envelopper sa petite Hélène, et on la lui rendra. Cassandre : On va le recevoir grossièrement. On ne lui rendra pas Hélène. Et la guerre de Troie aura lieu. Andromaque : Oui, si Hector n’était pas là !... Mais il arrive, Cassandre, il arrive ! Tu entends assez ses trompettes... En cette minute, il entre dans la ville, victorieux. Je pense qu’il aura son mot à dire. Quand il est parti, voilà trois mois, il m’a juré que cette guerre était la dernière. Cassandre : C’était la dernière. La suivante l’attend. » Ainsi commence la pièce la plus célèbre de Giraudoux. Lors de sa création en 1935 elle renvoyait un reflet troublant de l’actualité de l’époque, avec une nouvelle guerre qui approchait de jour en jour alors que le souvenir de « la Der des Der » était encore bien trop frais. Étonnant de modernité, le texte de Giraudoux résonne toujours autant aujourd’hui, et la clairvoyance de Cassandre nous interroge. Face à la détermination apparemment immuable de ceux de notre époque aussi qui ne se lassent pas d’attiser la haine de l’autre et le conflit, voici une lecture aussi prenante qu’urgente.
