Gustave Michaut, Of the Sorbonne, whose large and profound work, sainte-beiwe avant les Landis, has not only helped me in detail but served as an example of disinterested zeal. I have imagined M. Michaut correcting my conjectures, out of his vast store of exact knowledge, and the thought has been a spur to industry. If I have felt obliged to disagree With him in regard to his main contention that sainte-beuve established a method Of criticism - the reason probably lies in an incor rigible difference Of race.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classic French Letters: Selected and Edited With Notes The literary interest is much more complex. In my Opinion, the first and indispensable requirement for this is that the letters reveal to us the writer, not his Opinions or his history, but the man himself, in his weakness and his strength, his unreasoned tastes and his unfounded prejudices; they must be letters and not essays. Whatever does not meet this need may have great interest and value, but must rank in an other class. I know of course the danger and the difficulty of classification; if any one chooses to pro nounce Burke's Letter on the French Revolution or the correspondence between Goethe and Schiller the very ideal of letter-writing, there is nothing to be said. But the ordinary man would shrink with horror and alarm at the receipt of such letters, and the judgment of the ordinary man on such a point must be accepted as conclusive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on the War: Between Germany and France Do you know what it is that people here are afraid Of Some of our Politicians, to whom I do not belong, profess to believe in the existence of a plot of long standing between the Cabinets of Paris and Florence. They think that just as France has been forced into a war against us, SO it will be with Italy, unless Italian citizens prove themselves to be stronger and wiser than the French have done. And do you know what the friends of Italy reply to his Sf Translated from the Italian by I. C. They say, AS for the Italian Cabinet, anything is possible; but as for the Italian people, they will sup port the Germans, and offer an invincible obstacle to any such policy. Still, to say the truth, we are not entirely safe. It is only too easy to deceive a people; and I do not feel convinced that your countrymen recognize the serious ness of this impending danger, or that they are on the alert in looking out for it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written Home From France in the First Half of 1915 Although so many Americans are giving heart and energy to the effort of lightening in some way the suffering of Europe, only a small proportion has chosen to take a part within the line of action. Those of us who have any one we care for there in the midst of it all know that, like men who go to explore mysterious distances, they are generally very much beyond our horizon for months at a time at least as regards correspondence. An intense sympathy for the purpose they have gone to serve makes news of them doubly welcome when it does come. Believing that those who have pleasant memories of the writer of these letters would be interested in reading these impressions written home, his mother and father have generously consented to put them into this form.

Download or read book Letters to His Wife Classic Reprint written by R. E. Vernède and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to His Wife MY first idea in printing my husband's letters was to have them, in a complete and more convenient form, for private circulation among those few intimate friends and relations to whom I had sent copies of each letter as it arrived. During the last few weeks, however, I have been asked by so many people to have his letters published, that I have at last decided to let them appear as they now do. But I do this very hesitatingly. To those who knew my husband, and who know his writings, no apology is needed. To others I feel I should like to give some explanation. The letters were written under very great difficulties. How great, I think, few people can realise without having known the man. He was French by descent, his branch of the Vernede family being Huguenots, who left southern France in 1685 at the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and emigrated to Holland and then to England. His horror of cold and damp I always thought was due to his southern French blood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France It Often happens that those of us who live in great cities do not know our next door neighbors. In the great world it is very much the same and we know little or nothing about our neighbors. Hundreds of years ago a French writer called us his next neighbor. It was impossible, he said, to write about France without also writing about England. That is very true, for during hundreds of years the history of the two countries mixed and mingled. Yet in spite of that Jacques Bonhomme and John Bull have gone on liv ing side by side knowing little of each other's history, understanding little of each other's ways. For during hundreds of years France and England were deadly enemies, and Englishmen cared little about the history of France. They thought that they knew enough about Frenchmen when they knew how to fight them. But those days have long gone past, and now Jacques Bonhomme is not only our next neighbor, but our very good friend. That being so, British boys and girls are no longer con tent to know nothing about this friend, and several years ago I got a letter from a little English boy. I like that book, he said, and I wish you would write one just the same, only about France, because we can't find anything nice about France. Since then I have received many such letters both from British boys and girls and from their cousins in America. I promised them all that some day they should have the book they asked for. They were not very pleased with that promise, I think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of a Man of Letters, Artists Wives, Etc IN the introduction to T/zirty Years in Pan's, I attempted to present a hasty Sketch of Alphonse Daudet's literary work, as represented by his pub lished books, down to the appearance Of yack in 1876, that being the last of his books whose history is printed in that volume. He tells us that he was already at work on The Nabob, when a chance suggestion from Gustave Droz led him to lay it aside for the moment and set about writing a novel founded upon the story Of his unhappy friend Raoul. On that day, he says, in the history Of yack, laying aside le Nabob, which was already in process Of construction, I started off upon this fresh scent with a feverish haste, a trembling at the ends Of the fingers, which seizes me at the beginning and end of all my books. And in the youmal des Goncourt, under date Of Sunday, March 21, 1876, Edmond de Goncourt writes: During our long walk I talked with Daudet of the novel he has in his head, in which he intends to introduce Morny incidentally.

Download or read book The Letters of William Gaddis written by William Gaddis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory collection of correspondence by the lauded author of titanic American classics such as The Recognitions and J R, shedding light on his staunchly private life. UPDATED WITH OVER TWO DOZEN NEW LETTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS Now recognized as one of the giants of postwar American fiction, William Gaddis shunned the spotlight during his life, which makes this collection of his letters a revelation. Beginning in 1930 when Gaddis was at boarding school and ending in September 1998, a few months before his death, these letters function as a kind of autobiography, and also reveal the extent to which he drew upon events in his life for his fiction. Here we see him forging his first novel, The Recognitions (1955), while living in Mexico, fighting in a revolution in Costa Rica, and working in Spain, France, and North Africa. Over the next twenty years he struggles to find time to write the National Book Award–winning J R (1975) amid the complications of work and family; deals with divorce and disillusionment before reviving his career with Carpenter’s Gothic (1985); then teaches himself enough about the law to produce A Frolic of His Own (1994). Resuming his lifelong obsession with mechanization and the arts, he finishes a last novel, Agapē Agape (published in 2002), as he lies dying. This newly revised edition includes clarifying notes by Gaddis scholar Steven Moore, as well as an afterword by the author’s daughter, Sarah Gaddis.
