Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Portraits My wanderings had landed me in Paris early in the spring of 1869, in the centre of the rush and roar of an Empire about to crumble away. I had arrived at the borders of a social maelstrom without knowing the meaning of its movement and mystery. Unconsciously France was preparing for war and revolution. Destiny went with a whirl, and no one was idle. I was ignorant because of my youth; the Parisians were ignorant because of their blindness. As delirium increases with fever so pleasure increases with prosperity; and the Parisians, like so many spiders in a garden of roses, were busy weaving a web that would hold them prisoners when the flies were dead and the roses withered.

For if they were too often, alas! Corrupt, they were. No more than any other human being, wholly corrupt. When one thinks of them, one must needs think too of a tact and kindliness most womanly and most rare, of hearts not a little generous, of ideals not always base, and of a wit, tenderness, and under standing that must have made social life a witch's charm for care.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictures of Paris Some Parisians Harold was saying that there hardly seemed to be sufficient to make one of him, and the Vicomte, whom' we love to have about with us as much as possible, because his English teaches us more about idiomatic French than we could ever learn from grammars, began explaining that he meant that besides Auguste, there was another tiny little man, named Delphin, in the same line of business, when Theophile, the burly drawer, leaned forward over his beer-frothed zinc-covered counter and reminded us that the door to the concert room was open.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Pictures and Their Painters We find that the artists of the various centuries were the real historians. Sometimes these artists were big enough to picture underlying motives that brought about a revolution. Or constructed a republic; then again the artists simply reflected the surface life of the time, but both have given invaluable material from which to construct a vivid word picture of each period of the time. The more familiar we can become with French pictures given us by painters who were living witnesses of the scenes, the closer we will come to that glorious nation whose people have indeed come up through tribulation. As we proceed from century to century in studying the events and peoples portrayed by French painters, we find that we too become inti mately associated with France. And to know France and her history through pictures is to know more about our own country and the men and women who brought it into being.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry of Guise: And Other Portraits So rapid was his advancement that the French nobles regarded him with dislike and alarm, and presently the King himself began to observe with grave misgiving the growing pride and wealth of his clever favourite. With the death of Francis 1. The public life of the first Duke of Guise came to an end. He knew that for those who had been closely connected with the old court there could be no place in the new, and as soon as the coronation rites were over he retired to his castle of Joinville,1 leaving his sons to carry on the building of the lofty structure whose foundations he had laid so well. He died in I 5 50, and was buried with royal honours as a king's son the draperies of the coffin were strewn with the double cross of Jerusalem, - fit emblem, said the preacher of the funeral sermon, of the double portion of Christian zeal which for generations past had distinguished the house of Lorraine.

Download or read book French Portraits written by Vance Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Portraits: Being Appreciation of the Writers of Young France It was Friday, June the 31st, 1872. Goncourt dined with Flaubert at the Cafe Riche, "in a private room, because Flaubert cannot endure noise, tolerates no one near him, and, when dining, likes to take off his coat and shoes." A detail of this sort is worth pages of biography and exegesis. Not even the philosopher can be indifferent to the fact that Socrates sat rubbing his leg in prison, or that Aristotle wore a stomach pad filled with hot oil. The ideas of great men, the fulhams of poetic fiction, the theories for which we fight, are the common patrimony of mankind: what the great man possesses is, in reality, only his eccentricities. That Milton trilled the letter "R" and that Shelley wore wool next to his skin, these are the true glosses on their poems. In these appreciations of the writers of young France I have not, I trust, laid undue stress upon what they have done, slighting what they are. I should like you to see - across these pages - Verlaine hobbling to his cafe in the Boul' Mich', Mallarme jogging by in his donkey-cart, Eekhoud fondling his rabbit, or, it may be, Signoret, impossibly young, promenading his pale soul in the autumnal alleys of Versailles. For many years, now, the dear Lord has preserved me from the sin of inutile reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parisian Sketches: Letters to the New York Tribune 1875-1876 Henry J ames's Paris letters to the New York Trib une of almost eighty years ago have been collected in this volume for the first time. Three of the letters were reprinted by James during his lifetime, the remainder were allowed to linger in the crumbling newspaper files in the hope that they would be forgotten. In recent years extracts from those letters that were devoted to the theater were included in Allan Wade's collection of J ames's dramatic criticism, The Scenic Art; and cer tain passages dealing with paintings were incorporated by John L. Sweeney in his compilation of Henry J ames's art criticisms, The Painter's Eye. The ma J or ity of the letters, however, remained uncollected, and available only to those who cared to read the files or the microfilm record.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous French Authors: Biographical Portraits of Distinguished French Writers Theophile Gautier, was born at Tarbes, August 31st, 1811. When three years old, he went to live in Paris, we might say he returned there, so much is he a part of Paris. He writes of himself, "I learned to read at the age of five years, and after that time, I could say with Apelles, Nulla dies sine linea. He took his first lessons at the college of Louis le Grand, and ended them as day-pupil at Charlemagne. His father, a very good linguist, assisted him in Latin; but the boy's taste was not for the purely classic authors. Livy and Cicero wearied him; Martial, and Catullus, Apuleius and Petronius, were his delight. So dear to him were these writers of the decadence, that he sought to imitate them in all varieties of metre.
