Book excerpt: Ecrivain régionaliste ou esthète génial ? Héraut du royalisme ou auteur maudit ? Beaucoup de caricatures ou d'images réductrices ont terni la mémoire de Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly (1808-1889). Le " Connétable des lettres " aura pourtant traversé son siècle d'une manière flamboyante comme l'un des plus grands écrivains de la langue française. " J'aime le paradoxe... " écrira-t-il et l'on verra toute sa vie partagée entre le Diable et le Bon Dieu. Auteur des Diaboliques, de L'ensorcelée, mais aussi d'Un prêtre marié, hanté par l'étrange, les souvenirs de l'Ancien Régime, la féminité, c'est aussi un partisan de l'extrémisme catholique. Grand critique d'art, il se fait également l'un des théoriciens du dandysme, écrivant sur Georges Brummel. A travers une approche psychologique originale, Patrick Avrane poursuit le personnage complexe de Barbey d'Aurevilly en perçant les secrets de sa mémoire et de ses passions. Pas à pas, il met à jour un homme et une œuvre fascinants, une écriture ensorcelante.

Download or read book Diaboliques written by Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its six trenchant tales of perverse love, Diaboliques proved so scandalous on its original appearance in 1874 that it was declared a danger to public morality and seized on the grounds of blasphemy and obscenity. More shocking in our day is how little known this masterpiece of French decadent fiction is, despite its singular brilliance and its profound influence on writers from Charles Baudelaire to Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, J. K. Huysmans, and Walter Benjamin. This new, finely calibrated translation—the first in nearly a century—returns Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly’s signature collection to its rightful place in the ranks of literary fiction that tests the bounds of culture. Psychologically intense in substance and style, the stories of Diaboliques combine horror, comedy, and irony to explore the affairs and foibles of men and women whose aristocratic world offers neither comfort nor protection from romantic failure or sexual outrage. Conquest and seduction, adultery and revenge, prostitution and murder—all are within Barbey d'Aurevilly ’s purview as he penetrates the darker recesses of the human heart. Raymond N. MacKenzie, whose deft translation captures the complex expression of the original with its unique blend of the literary high and low, also includes an extensive introduction and notes, along with the first-ever translation of Barbey d'Aurevilly’s late story “A Page from History” and the important preface to his novel The Last Mistress.

On the day before Easter, the Ladies de Ferjol learn that their Capuchin guest has disappeared without a word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This handsome publication, which accompanies a major exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a lively and engaging account of the artistic scene in Paris in the 1860s, the years that witnessed the beginnings of Impressionism. For the first time the interactions and relationships among the group of painters who became known as the Impressionists are examined without the overworn art historical polarities commonly evoked: academic versus avant-garde, classicist versus romantic, realist versus impressionist. A host of strong personalities contributed to this history, and their style evolved into a new way of looking at the world. These artists wanted above all to give an impression of truth and to have an impact on or even to shock the public. And they wanted to measure up to or surpass their elders. This complex and rich environment is presented here - the grand old men and the young turks encounter each other, the Salon pontificates, and the new generation moves fitfully ahead, benignly but always with determination." "Origins of Impressionism gives a day-by-day, year-by-year study of the genesis of an epoch-making style." "Bibliographies and provenances are provided for each of the almost two hundred works in the exhibition, and there is an illustrated chronology. With more than two hundred superb colorplates, this informative survey is an essential work for both the general reader and the scholar."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
