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.
Download or read book Contes Choisis written by Honoré de Balzac and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1999-07-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered a founder of the realistic school of fiction, prolific French novelist Honor� de Balzac (1799-1850) wrote in meticulous detail, depicting ordinary and undistinguished lives in tales that nevertheless abounded in melodramatic plots and violent passions. This convenient dual-language volume includes six of Balzac's most highly regarded short stories: "An Episode During the Terror," a deftly told tale contrasting material poverty with spiritual riches; "A Passion in the Desert," inspired by Balzac's interest in the Near East and his fascination with Napoleon; "The Revolutionary Conscript," a critique of provincial life; "The Forsaken Woman," an intriguing study of female psychology and a how-to seduction manual; "The Unknown Masterpiece," which focuses on the conflict between an artist's commitment to his work and his relationship with the woman who loves him; and "Facino Cane," a tale of a destitute blind man's dreams of restoring his former wealth and power. Stanley Appelbaum has provided excellent, line-for-line English translations of the text, as well as an informative introduction and notes related to each story. This superb selection of tales by one of the world's great writers of fiction is sure to delight students and devotees of French language and literature.

Download or read book Jacques written by George Sand and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plongez dans l'univers passionnant de « Jacques » de George Sand, une œuvre d'une intensité émotionnelle et d'une profondeur psychologique qui explore l'amour, la liberté et la condition humaine. Dans « Jacques », George Sand nous présente l'histoire d'un homme tourmenté par ses idéaux et ses émotions. Jacques, un personnage complexe et mélancolique, est un homme d'honneur qui épouse la jeune Fernande par amour. Cependant, cette union sera marquée par la jalousie, la méfiance et l'incompatibilité des désirs. Sand, avec une sensibilité unique, explore les conflits entre les attentes de la société, les aspirations personnelles et les réalités de l'amour. À travers le parcours de Jacques et Fernande, Sand pose des questions profondes sur la liberté individuelle, les sacrifices imposés par le mariage et la quête d'un amour authentique. Le roman aborde les thèmes de la jalousie destructrice, de l’émancipation des sentiments, et de l'égoïsme déguisé en vertu. Sand, en pionnière de la littérature féministe, brosse ici un portrait poignant des rôles de genre et des contraintes sociales de son époque. Le style de George Sand est à la fois poétique et introspectif, créant une atmosphère à la fois belle et tragique. Elle dépeint les paysages naturels comme un reflet des tourments intérieurs de ses personnages, ajoutant une dimension symbolique à l’histoire. « Jacques » est un roman profondément humain, qui pousse le lecteur à s'interroger sur la nature des relations amoureuses et sur le véritable sens du sacrifice. Avec sa capacité à capturer les subtilités des émotions humaines, George Sand signe ici une œuvre incontournable. « Jacques » est une lecture indispensable pour ceux qui cherchent un roman puissant sur les dilemmes du cœur et de l'âme. N'attendez plus pour découvrir ce chef-d'œuvre émouvant et intellectuellement stimulant.
