Book excerpt: This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.

Book excerpt: 'To the English, I am "shocking"...What's more, French, which is disgusting; republican, which is abominable; exiled, which is repulsive; defeated, which is infamous. To top it all off, a poet...' Victor Hugo dominated literary life in France for over half a century, pouring forth novels, poems, plays, and other writings with unflagging zest and vitality. Here, for the first time in English, all aspects of his work are represented within a single volume. Famous scenes from the novels Notre-Dame, Les Misérables, and The Toilers of the Sea are included, as well as excerpts from his intimate diaries, poems of love and loss, and scathing denunciations of the political establishment. All the chosen passages are self-contained and can be enjoyed without any previous knowledge of Hugo's work. Much of the material is appearing in English for the first time, and most of it has never before been annotated thoroughly in any language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Book excerpt: Black Skin, White Masks is a classic, devastating account of the dehumanising effects of colonisation experienced by black subjects living in a white world. First published in English in 1967, this book provides an unsurpassed study of the psychology of racism using scientific analysis and poetic grace.Franz Fanon identifies a devastating pathology at the heart of Western culture, a denial of difference, that persists to this day. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, his writings speak to all who continue the struggle for political and cultural liberation.With an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné est un roman à thèse de Victor Hugo publié en 1829 chez Charles Gosselin, qui constitue un plaidoyer politique pour l'abolition de la peine de mort. À la prison de Bicêtre, un condamné à mort note heure par heure les événements d'une journée dont il apprend qu'elle sera la dernière. Il rappelle les circonstances de la sentence, puis de son emprisonnement et la raison qui le fait écrire, jusqu'au moment où il lui sera physiquement impossible de continuer. Décrivant sa cellule, détaillant la progression de la journée, évoquant d'horribles souvenirs comme le ferrement des forçats, la complainte argotique d'une jeune fille, des rêves, il en arrive au transfert à la Conciergerie.... Hugo ne donne pas son nom, ne dit presque rien sur son passé, ni pourquoi cet homme est emprisonné. Peu importe ! Ce texte est un plaidoyer contre la peine de mort, contre toutes les peines de mort, il n'a pour objet que cette mort qui apparaît dans toute son horreur inouïe et impensable, dans son inhumanité intrinsèque. Ce condamné «anonyme», n'est personne, et donc tout le monde, et nous vivons sa peur et son Enfer. Adaptations Le livre a donné lieu a de nombreuses adaptations théâtrales, ainsi qu'à des films et un opéra. Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné, par Stanislas Gros, est une adaptation en bande dessinée Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné (1985), film de 65 minutes, par Jean-Michel Mongrédien.

Book excerpt: By Label AA-prod (Artmusiclitte) 2015: Comme on le voit, à l’époque où ce livre fut publié, l’auteur ne jugea pas à propos de dire dès lors toute sa pensée. Il aima mieux attendre qu’elle fût comprise et voir si elle le serait. Elle l’a été. L’auteur aujourd’hui peut démasquer l’idée politique, l’idée sociale, qu’il avait voulu populariser sous cette innocente et candide forme littéraire.

Book excerpt: Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné est un roman à thèse de Victor Hugo publié en 1829 chez Charles Gosselin, qui constitue un plaidoyer politique pour l'abolition de la peine de mort. Ce roman se présente comme le journal d'un condamné à mort écrit durant les vingt-quatre dernières heures de son existence dans lequel il raconte ce qu'il a vécu depuis le verdict de son procès jusqu'au moment de son exécution, soit environ cinq semaines de sa vie. Ce récit, long monologue intérieur, est entrecoupé de réflexions angoissées et de souvenirs de son autre vie, la « vie d’avant ». À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Victor Hugo est un poète, dramaturge, écrivain, romancier et dessinateur romantique français, né le 26 février 1802 (7 ventôse an X) à Besançon et mort le 22 mai 1885 à Paris. Il est considéré comme l'un des plus importants écrivains de la langue française. Il est aussi une personnalité politique et un intellectuel engagé qui a eu un rôle idéologique majeur et occupe une place marquante dans l'histoire des lettres françaises au XIXe siècle. Comme romancier, il a rencontré un grand succès populaire, d'abord avec Notre-Dame de Paris en 1831, et plus encore avec Les Misérables en 1862. Son œuvre multiple comprend aussi des écrits et discours politiques, des récits de voyages, des recueils de notes et de mémoires, des commentaires littéraires, une correspondance abondante, près de quatre mille dessins dont la plupart réalisés à l'encre, ainsi que la conception de décors intérieurs et une contribution à la photographie.
