Rosny aîné, pionnier de la science fiction francophone, et paru pour la première fois en France en 1909. Ce roman fut partiellement publié à partir de juillet 1909 dans le journal Je sais tout, ainsi que dans deux autres revues, en 1909 et 1910. Il remporta un important succès et a suscité de nombreuses adaptations cinématographiques dont celle de Jean-Jacques Annaud en 1982. Depuis des générations, la vie de la tribu des Oulhamrs s'est organisée autour du feu. Mais s'ils savent conserver les braises et attiser les flammes, ils sont en revanche incapables d'allumer le feu, qu'ils conservent précieusement dans trois cages gardées jour et nuit par quatre femmes et deux guerriers. Or un jour, au cours d'un affrontement sauvage avec une tribu ennemie, les cages où brûlait le Feu, source de vie, sont détruites. C'est la catastrophe. Vaincu, le clan fuit derrière son chef Faouhm, en proie au froid et à la nuit. En désespoir de cause, celui-ci promet alors sa nièce Gammla ainsi que le bâton du commandement au guerrier qui rapportera le feu à la tribu...

Book excerpt: Quest for Fire, written by J. H. Rosny aîné, was originally published in France in 1911 as La Guerre du Feu (The War of Fire). It has been translated into eleven languages and was made into a major motion picture in 1981 by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Quest for Fire is Rosny's best loved work. It is a classic example of the "Hero's Journey," and we are enthralled as Naoh, a Neanderthal warrior, leads a small band of brothers into dangerous lands to capture a strange, powerful and beloved beast: The Fire. Facing one crisis after another, Naoh returns exalted and transformed-a true hero to his People. The accompanying Afterward delves into the science behind the story and provides notes on this new translation, the first in over 50 years.
Download or read book Finding the Plot written by Loïc Artiago and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Plot”, writes Peter Brooks, “is so basic to our very experience of reading, and indeed to our articulation of experience in general, that criticism has often passed it over in silence…” (Reading for the Plot, xi). Finding the Plot both explores and helps to redress this critical neglect. The book brings together an international group of scholars to address the nature, effects and specific pleasures of consuming stories. If the central focus is on France and popular literary fiction, the book’s scope – like contemporary fiction itself – observes no national frontiers, and extends across a variety of media. The book addresses both the empirical question of which genres and types of text have been and are most “popular”, and the theoretical questions of how plots work, what pleasures they offer to readers, and why it matters that the plot should not be lost.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the French Novel written by Timothy Unwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-10-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a unique and valuable insight into the novel in French over the past two centuries. In a series of essays, acknowledged experts discuss a variety of topics including nineteenth-century realism, women and fiction, popular fiction, experiment and innovation, war and the Holocaust, the Francophone novel, and postmodern fiction. They offer a challenging reassessment of major figures, while deliberately reading traditional views of literary history against the grain. Theoretical discussion is combined with close reading of texts and exploration of context, comparison with other genres and other literatures, and reference to novels from earlier periods. This companionable introduction includes a chronology and guide to further reading. From it emerges a strong sense of the vitality and energy of the modern French novel, and of the debates surrounding it.
Download or read book Transnational French Studies written by Charles Forsdick and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitute the object of study for students of French: language and multilingualism; the construction of transcultural places and the corresponding sense of space; the experience of time; and transnational subjectivities. The underlying premise of the volume is that the transnational is present (and has long been present) throughout what we define as French history and culture. Chapters address instances and phenomena associated with the transnational, from prehistory to the present, opening up the geopolitical map of French studies beyond France and including sites where communities identified as French have formed.
Download or read book Mavericks of Italian Cinema written by Roberto Curti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Italian cinema includes, in addition to the renowned auteurs, a number of peculiar and lesser-known filmmakers. While their artistry was often plagued with production setbacks, their works--influenced by poetry, playwriting, advertising, literature, comics and a nonconformist, sometimes antagonistic attitude--were original and thought provoking. Drawing from official papers and original scripts, this book includes much previously unpublished information on the works and lives of post-World War II filmmakers Pier Carpi, Alberto Cavallone, Riccardo Ghione, Giulio Questi, Brunello Rondi, Paolo Spinola, Augusto Tretti and Nello Vegezzi.
