Download or read book Books and Characters French English Classic Reprint written by Lytton Strachey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Books and Characters, French English When Ingres painted his vast Apotheosis of Homer, he represented, grouped round the central throne, all the great poets of the ancient and modern worlds, with a single ex ception - Shakespeare. After some persuasion, he relented so far as to introduce into his picture a part of that offensive personage; and English visitors at the Louvre can now see, to their disgust or their amusement, the truncated image of rather less than half of the author of King Lear just appear ing at the extreme edge of the enormous canvas. French taste, let us hope, has changed since the days of Ingres; Shakespeare would doubtless now be advanced - though per haps chiefly from a sense of duty - to the very steps of the central throne. But if an English painter were to choose a similar subject, how would he treat the master who stands acknowledged as the most characteristic representative of the literature of France? Would Racine find a place in the picture at all? Or, if he did, would more of him be visible than the last curl of his full-bottomed wig, whisking away into the outer darkness? There is something inexplicable about the intensity of national tastes and the violence of national differences. If, as in the good old days, I could boldly believe a Frenchman to be an inferior creature, while he, as simply, wrote me down a savage, there would be an easy end of the matter.

The children were brought up with the strictest vigilance. A friend of my aunt's went one day to the Vice principal Of the Lycee, to ask for leave Of absence for her son, so that he might go with her into the country next day. All right, said the Vice-principal, but you will have to give him a note for his master, to say he has been ill. What! Set my Edouard an example of false hood! She cried. Never!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eyes at the Window The Honorable William Simpson, attorney-at-law and member of the Legislature, the latter honor recently acquired by hard work, considerable money and the ability to keep a stiff upper lip - here was I, possessed of wealth and position and the most miserable man on earth - for was I not a bachelor and in love, maybe hopelessly? I must not tell everything, however, at the beginning, for upon the fact that I was in love alone hinges the tale. Lawyers are usually unpunctual, and it was quite opportune that on this particular morning I should be at my office early and in proximity to the 'phone when it rang, otherwise I might not have this story to tell in just this way.

Download or read book Georges Seurat Classic Reprint written by John Rewald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Georges Seurat AN unbiased mind perceives with stupefaction that even in his first produc tions, even in his youth, he was great. At times he may have been more deli cate, at times more Singular, at times he may have been more of a painter, but he was always great. These words, written by Baudelaire about Eugene Dela croix, are surely relevant to Georges Seurat, who was at once the disciple of the painter of the Massacres of Scio and of Delacr'oix's rival, Ingres. Surely Georges Seurat was great, for he was able to realize unhesitatingly whatever his eye and his intelligence dictated to his brush; the very least of his Sketches bears the Stamp of an incomparable artistic personality; the unsuspected aspect of beings and of things which he perceived and projected on his canvases is today part of our aesthetic patrimony.

Claude may be imagined as saying that to see pictures was everything to see them with utmost clarity and fervor and that the rest was largely a tedious super finity. The doctrine is perilous, but, as a per sonal maxim at least, Claude's practice fully justifies it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But there was more in store. Before the bill could be made out never a very swift matter at this house - I caught sight of a portent and knew the worst. I saw a waiter entering the room with a tray on which was a bottle of champagne and seven glasses. My heart sank, for if there is one thing I cannot do, it is to drink the sweet champagne so dear to the French bourgeois palate.

Download or read book The Inner Door Classic Reprint written by Alan Sullivan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inner Door Mrs. Chambers was beginning to accept him with a certain helpless sense of having done what she could to prevent it. Had Sylvia been plain, and she was not, had she been poor instead of having a hundred thousand a year, her guardian's wife would have embraced him as a benignant demigod. But the factory, potent in its profits, hung like a black diamond on the girl's white neck, and its mechanical marvels demanded recognition even at the altar. That Kenneth was the son of his father, spoke for much, but the heir of a broker, thought Mrs. Chambers, stood in line for a questionable legacy. She loathed manufacturing, but she was terrified at the stock market; and manufacturing, after all, did the trick. In her own domain Mrs. Chambers was called a relative woman, disclaim ing distinction and losing identity in her very domesticity. She seemed one of those who grow into a house and are moved about with the chairs and tables. Her husband loved her because she disturbed not his weary soul, and where she went peace went with her. Sylvia loved her because she had proffered to her first grief a large and passionless bosom. Society loved her because she moved through its particular pool without a ripple of either envy or expectation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gerome: The Life and Works of Jean Leon Gerome There is in his art, apart from its elevation and virility of style, that which ranks him in my mind with the Greek artists. So much so, that I feel he would have taken his place in the everyday life of Athens; I involuntarily imagine him in all the joyous contrasts of the blue skies and superb architecture, sharing the brilliancy and nervousness of Athenian life when the Parthenon was built. It seems to me that this feeling represents the unexpressed thought of many of his admirers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Savoy T is hoped that the savoy will be a periodical of an exclusively I literary and artistic kind. To present Literature in the shape of its letter press, Art in the form of its illustrations, will be its aim. For the attainment of that aim we can but rely on our best endeavours and on the logic of our belief that good writers and artists will care to see their work in company with the work of good writers and artists. Readers who look to a new periodical for only very well-known or only very obscure names must permit themselves to be disappointed. We have no objection to a celebrity who deserves to be celebrated, or to an unknown person who has not been seen often enough to be recognised in passing. All we ask from our contributors is good work, and good work is all we olter our readers. This we ofier with some confidence. We have no formulas, and we desire no false unity of form or matter. We have not invented a new point of view. We are not Realists, or Romanticists, or Decadents. For us, all art is good which is good art. We hope to appeal to the tastes of the intelligent by not being original for originality's sake, or audacious for the sake of advertise ment, or timid for the convenience of the elderly-minded. Intend to print no verse which has not some close relationship with poetry, no fiction which has not a certain sense of what is finest in living fact, no criticism which has not some knowledge, discernment, and sincerity in its judgment. -ve could scarcely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalogue of Paintings, Drawings, Etchings and Lithographs The influence of Whistler upon the generation of painters in the last years of the nineteenth century tended to estrange Legros from most of the younger English artists, for the former friends had, in course of time, become irreconcilable in aim and character alike. To meet him in the later part of his life was to listen to a friend of Baudelaire and his contemporaries, who spoke of Ingres.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bolted Door He had always announced his most impossible projects with a serious mien, and Natalie had never known whether to be amused or alarmed. He had cared for her in his curious way, and she had felt that, whatever happened, her future, at least, was to be secure. But this! The tardy gratitude for his years of care and attention, the belated affection that had owed forth in tears at his death were hers no more, and the springs of her charity were dried at their source. To have planned such a fate as that to which he had assigned her showed a refinement Of cruelty of which she had not believed him capable. Miss Judson pushed her chair back from the break fast tray, her coffee and eggs untasted, and rang a bell.
