Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Points of View To most American readers of fiction I fancy that M. Ludovic Halevy is known chiefly, if not solely, as the author of that most charming of mod ern French novels, Tfie Abbé Convex/11m. Some of these readers may have disliked this or that novel of M. Zola's because of its bad moral, and this or that novel of M. Ohnet's because of its bad taste, and all of them were delighted to discover in M. Halevy's interesting and artistic work a story writ ten by a French gentleman for young ladies. Here and there a scoffer might sneer at the tale of the old French priest and the young women from Can ada as innocuous and saccharine; but the story of the good Abbé Constantin and of his nephew, and of the girl the nephew loved in spite of her Amer ican millions - this story had the rare good-fortune of pleasing at once the broad public of indiscrimi nate readers of fiction and the narrower circle of real lovers of literature. Artificial the atmosphere of the tale might be, but it was with an artifice at once delicate and delicious; and the tale itself won its way into the hearts of the women of. America as it had into the hearts of the women of France. There is even a legend - although how solid a foundation it may have in facti do not dare to dis cuss - there is a legend that the lady-superior of a certain convent near Paris was so fascinated by 2716 Abbé Constantin, and so thoroughly convinced of the piety of its author, that she ordered all his other works, receiving in due season the lively vol umes wherein are recorded the sayings and doings of Monsieur and Madame Cardinal, and of the two lovely daughters of Monsieur and Madame Cardi nal. To note that these very amusing studies of certain aspects of life in a modern capital origi nally appeared in that extraordinary journal, La Vie Pam'siezme - now sadly degenerate - is enough to in dicate that they are not precisely what the good lady-superior expected to receive. We may not say that [a Famille Cardinal is one of the books every gentleman's library should be without; but to appreciate its value requires a far different kn owl edge of the world and of its wickedness than is needed to understand T /ia Abbé Constanfz'rz.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Parisian Year: A Woman's Point of View There are two kinds of critics, those who complain that roses have thorns, others who are grateful that thorns have roses. I think the writer might have added a third - those who are thankful that roses have thorns! Thorns do add so much to the attraction of roses. I trust that the readers of these desultory jottings will realise this. The very imperfections of the Parisians tend to make the study of them the more interesting. The perfect is so dull.

Book excerpt: Parisian Points of View is a collection of short stories by Ludovic Halévy. Halévy was a French author and playwright, here presenting stories uncovering Paris through the eyes of numerous distinct individuals. Excerpt: "This marriage had been the great marriage of the season. There had been an absolute crush under the colonnade and against the railings of the church to see the bride walk down those fearful steps of the Madeleine. What an important feat that is! Merely to be beautiful is not all that is needful; it is necessary besides to know how to be beautiful. There is an art about being pretty which requires certain preparations and study. In society, as in the theatre, success rarely comes at once. Mme. de Lannilis had the good-fortune to make her first appearance with decisive success. She was at once quite easily and boldly at home in her beauty; she had only to appear to triumph. Prince Nérins had not a moment's hesitation concerning it, and he it is, as every one knows, who, with general consent, has made himself the distributor of the patents of supreme Parisian elegance; so while the new duchess, beneath the fire of a thousand eyes and behind the ringing staffs, was taking her first steps as a young married woman with calm assurance, Nérins, struck with admiration, was giving way, under the colonnade of the Madeleine, to veritable transports of enthusiasm."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris of the Parisians The purpose of these sketches is not political nor yet didactic. No charge is laid upon me to teach the French nation its duties, to reprove it for its follies. Nor yet is it my design to hold up Paris of the Parisians as an example of naughtiness, nor even of virtue, to English readers. A student of human life still in my humanities, my purpose is purely interpretative. I would endeavour to trans late into English some Paris scenes, in such a way as to give a true impression of the movement, personages, sounds, colours, and atmosphere per vaded With joy of living which belongs to them. These impressions Which I have myself received, and now desire to communicate, are not the result of a general survey of Paris taken from some lofty summit. I have not looked down upon the capital of F rance from the top of the Eiffel Tower; nor yet from the terrace of the Sacre Coeur; nor yet from the balcony among the chimeres of Notre.

The first time I remained here four months, thoroughly dissatisfied with myself, and glad to make my escape, but now that I return somewhat older and more mature and settled, I see the fault lay in myself, for woe to him who comes to Paris too young, and without any fixed aim in View, his head filled with vague notions and his pockets empty! Now I see Paris calmly - in com pany with a dear friend, Whose presence aids me in feeling more freshly and vividly all my impressions of the former visit. Here are those of the first day as they can be rendered by a weary brain and a pen borrowed from the landlord.
