Book excerpt: Child of materialism and positivism, Courbet was without a doubt one of the most complex painters of the nineteenth century.

He became from then on the leader of pictorial realism.

Download or read book The Lemoine Affair written by Marcel Proust and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their friend Marcel Proust had killed himself after the fall in diamond shares, a collapse that annihilated a part of his fortune. This is the first-ever translation into English of this startling tour-de-force by one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers. The Lemoine Affair was inspired by the real-life French scandal involving Henri Lemoine, who claimed he could manufacture diamonds from coal and convinced numerous people—including officers of the De Beers diamond mine company and Proust himself—to invest in the scheme. In a series of pastiches—imitations written in the style of other writers—Proust tells the story of the embarrassment rippling across high society Paris in the wake of the scandal, poking fun at himself (in one story, a character declares that Marcel Proust is so embarrassed he’s suicidal) while lampooning some of France’s greatest writers, including Flaubert, Balzac, and Saint-Simon. Full of sophisticated wit and dazzling wordplay, and rife with allusions to his friend and fictional characters, many Proust scholars see the dead-on mimicry of The Lemoine Affair—written soon after Proust’s rejection of society life—as the work by which he honed his own unique, masterly voice. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.

Download or read book Graphic History written by Philip Benedict and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2007 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suite of forty prints published in Geneva in 1570 depicting the wars, massacres and troubles of the French Wars of Religion may have been the first picture history made in woodcuts or etchings that promised a geenral public a true view of great events of the recent past. This richly illustrated study reconstructs the gradual elaboration of this experimental work, situating it within the previously untold story of the use of the graphic arts to report the news in the fist centuries of European printmaking. Successive chapters explore the pictorial traditions that inspired the printmakers, examine how they gathered their information, assess the reliability of the scenes, and analyze the historical vision informing the series. Part 2 reproduces the full suite with commentary in double page fold-outs. Through the study of a single print series, lost chapters in the history of jorunalism, of the graphic arts, and of Protestant historical consciousness re-emerge.

Download or read book The Judgment of Palaemon written by Philip Ford and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Virgil's third Eclogue, Palaemon concludes the poetry competition between Menalcas and Damoetas by saying that he cannot choose between them, a judgment that is emblematic of the contest between Neo-Latin and vernacular poetry in Renaissance France. Both forms of poetry draw on similar roots, both are equally accomplished, and the contest between them is largely amicable. The Judgment of Palaement illustrates the almost symbiotic relationship between Renaissance Latin and French poetry, while exploring poets' motivation for choosing one language over another, the different challenges each form of writing involved, and the extent of the collaboration between different language communities. It focuses on some of the major writers of the period, as well as less known ones, and on genres specific to humanist poetry. It shows that composing in Latin was often considered more natural than writing in the vernacular, at a time when many Frenchmen's mother tongue was a non-standard French dialect or distinct language.

Download or read book Marie fleur de l humanit written by Chiara Lubich and published by Nouvelle Cité. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des méditations passionnantes autour du modèle spirituel de Marie Marie, fleur de l’humanité, première disciple du Christ, Parole de Dieu en actes, mère ouverte sur toute l’humanité dans sa diversité, si grande et pourtant si proche, elle est si belle, Marie. « On ne saurait parler d’elle: on la chante » écrit dans un de ses plus beaux textes de méditation, Chiara Lubich , fondatrice du mouvement des Focolari également connu dans l’Église catholique sous le nom d’Œuvre de Marie. À la suite de Chiara Lubich laissons-nous guider par Jésus qui, du tabernacle devant lequel elle lui demandait pourquoi il ne l’avait pas laissée sur terre comme il le fit pour lui-même dans l’Eucharistie, répondit : « Je ne l’ai pas laissée parce que je voudrais la revoir en toi (en vous). Même si vous n’êtes pas immaculés, mon amour vous purifiera, vous rendra vierges. Et vous ouvrirez un cœur de mère à l’humanité qui, aujourd’hui comme alors, a soif de Dieu et de sa mère. » Loin des clichés d’une piété vieillie, ce livre dévoile en Marie la plus belle des fleurs de l’humanité et la propose simplement comme modèle. EXTRAIT Marie est la femme le plus fréquemment citée dans l’Évangile. Plus que n’importe quelle autre femme dans l’histoire, elle a été une source d’inspiration, une lumière et une consolation pour de nombreuses personnes. On ne compte plus les filles qui, à travers les siècles, ont porté son nom. Impossible, aussi, de compter les prières qui lui sont adressées. Sa présence et son intervention à des moments critiques ont marqué l’histoire de plusieurs pays. Il suffit de penser à ce que la Vierge de Guadalupe, la « Morenita », apparue en 1531 à Juan Diego, a signifié et signifie aujourd’hui encore pour les Mexicains et pour toute l’Amérique latine. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Chiara Lubich (1920-2008) est la fondatrice du mouvement des Focolari, diffusé à travers le monde entier. Son charisme de l’unité touche et transforme la vie de milliers de personnes de toutes cultures et religions.

This book was released on 2022-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après la désobéissance d'Adam et Ève dans le jardin d'Eden, l'Éternel Dieu dit au serpent:" Je mettrai inimitié entre toi et la femme entre ta postérité et sa postérité. Celle-ci t'écrasera la tête et tu lui blesseras le talon". (Genèse 3:15). À partir de ce moment là, inimitié existait dans le monde. Mais dans son amour infini, L'Éternel Dieu envoya Son Fils dans le monde, né de la Vierge Marie pour réconcilier le monde avec Lui. La Vierge Marie est cette femme que l'Éternel Dieu a annoncé dans (Genèse 3:15), qui allait écrasé la tête du serpent. Le Seigneur Jésus est la postérité de cette femme et en mourant pour nous à La Croix, le Seigneur Jésus a fait de cette femme, la Mère du disciple qu'Il aimait, la mère de l'humanité. (Jean 19:25).Mais beaucoup de gens n'acceptent pas la mère de Jésus-Christ pour mère. Ils la blasphèment et l'insultent en diverses occasions. Tous ces gens sont contre ce que Jésus-Christ a dit, ils sont les antichrists.Méthode pour pratiquer les cinq premiers samedi du mois en réparation au Coeur Immaculé de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie blessé par les blasphèmes et les insultes des hommes ingrats.
