Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait : "Avant de raconter un des plus effroyables épisodes de mon voyage en Extrême-Orient, il est peut-être intéressant que j'explique brièvement dans quelles conditions je fus amené à l'entreprendre. C'est de l'histoire contemporaine." Descriptif : Le jardin des supplices, invention littéraire de Mirbeau, réunit dans une configuration obsédante ces deux clichés : celui de la cruauté des Chinois qui lui sert de paravent exotique pour exposer une réflexion anthropologique portant sur la cruauté humaine en général. Il ne contient pas seulement des descriptions horrifiantes de supplices. Il contient aussi des considérations sur la cruauté humaine et sur la pulsion scopique et sur le voyeurisme. Le roman d’Octave Mirbeau a eu à l’époque un grand succès. Extrait : Si tu es près de moi… quand je mourrai… cher petit cœur… écoute bien !… Tu mettras… c’est cela… tu mettras un joli coussin de soie jaune entre mes pauvres petits pieds et le bois du cercueil… Et puis… tu tueras mon beau chien du Laos… et tu l’allongeras, tout sanglant, contre moi… comme il a coutume de s’allonger lui-même, tu sais, avec une patte sur ma cuisse et une autre patte sur mon sein… Et puis… longtemps… longtemps… tu m’embrasseras, cher amour, sur les dents… et dans les cheveux… Et tu me diras des choses… des choses si jolies… et qui bercent et qui brûlent… des choses comme quand tu m’aimes… Pas, tu veux, mon chéri ?… Tu me promets ?… Voyons, ne fais pas cette figure d’enterrement… Ce n’est pas de mourir, qui est triste… c’est de vivre quand on n’est pas heureux… Jure ! jure que tu me promets !… Le Jardin des supplices n'est pas seulement le catalogue de toutes les perversions dans lesquelles s'est complu l'imaginaire de 1900. L'ouvrage exprime aussi l'ambiguïté de l'attitude d'un Européen libéral, mais Européen avant tout, devant le colonialisme et ce qu'on n'appelait pas encore le Tiers Monde. Pour Mirbeau, la Chine est le lieu des plaisirs mortels et, par leur système pénal et l'invraisemblable raffinement de leur cruauté, les Chinois ne peuvent être à ses yeux que des barbares : Emmanuelle sur fond de guerre du Viêt-nam, comme l'écrit Michel Delon. Mais les Chinois vivent dans une société plus solidaire et matériellement moins asservie que la nôtre. Et surtout ils sont d'admirables artistes. Tel est le paradoxe de la Chine : un jardin de supplices mais aussi les plus belles porcelaines, les plus beaux bronzes que l'on ait jamais faits. «Voici donc les Barbares à peau jaune dont les civilisés d'Europe à peau blanche violent le sol. Nous sommes toujours les mêmes sauvages, les mêmes ennemis de la Beauté.»

Download or read book What is Qu b cois Literature written by Rosemary Chapman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question 'What is Québécois literature?' might seem innocent and easily answerable. But as Rosemary Chapman shows in this compelling study, answering that question requires no less than the charting of the entire cultural history of French Canada, the contextualizing of francophone writing in Canada within postcolonialism, and the challenging of literary history to rethink its nation-based framework. Brilliantly navigating these ambitions, she provides the first major literary history of Québec, what will be compulsory reading for scholars in francophone postcolonial studies and an ideal introduction for anglophone scholars of Canadian literature.
Download or read book Translating Pain written by Madelaine Hron and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-10-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-Cold War, post-9/11 era, the immigrant experience has changed dramatically. Despite the recent successes of immigrant and world literatures, there has been little scholarship on how the hardships of immigration are conveyed in immigrant narratives. Translating Pain fills this gap by examining literature from Muslim North Africa, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe to reveal the representation of immigrant suffering in fiction. Applying immigrant psychology to literary analysis, Madelaine Hron examines the ways in which different forms of physical and psychological pain are expressed in a wide variety of texts. She juxtaposes post-colonial and post-communist concerns about immigration, and contrasts Muslim world views with those of Caribbean creolité and post-Cold War ethics. Demonstrating how pain is translated into literature, she explores the ways in which it also shapes narrative, culture, history, and politics. A compelling and accessible study, Translating Pain is a groundbreaking work of literary and postcolonial studies.

Download or read book Eug nie et Mathilde ou M moires de la famille du Comte de Revel by Madame de Souza written by Kirsty Carpenter and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madame de Souza was an eighteenth-century political journalist of undisputed talent. She did not fear to accuse religion of falsely justifying intolerant political attitudes, or using indoctrination for little human gain. She dared to show that this achieved immediate social dislocation, and, in the long-term, grief and financial dysfunction. Eugénie et Mathilde, which documents revolutionary decisions made in Emigration, and the irrevocable futility of losing family, home, rank and property in war, fully reflects her approach. It is a complex and compelling story of one family and its experience of 1789-1797 - the years of exile during the French Revolution. Heart-rending decisions, forced departures, capital punishment and death of loved-ones make the novel as topical now as it was on the eve of Napoleon’s Russian Campaign. Souza’s plea for tolerance, fraternity and compromise on the part of the State and its enemies has a relevance that stretches out to the 21st Century; her message to include women in politics and not to make them suffer the unnecessary death of fathers, husbands, children and friends is even more current.This edition lifts the veil on a literary form of anti-sentimental romance, or the art of making historically accurate accounts masquerade as fiction. That, more than anything else, was Madame de Souza’s forte.
