Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Old French Fair as man can desire was that orchard, and therein grew many an herb whose name I know not; yet may I tell you of a truth there were roses and flowers that gave forth a strong and pleasant fra grance; and such manner of spices grew there that if any creature, suffering from sickness and infirmity, were brought thi ther in a litter, and lay in that orchard but for the space of a single night, he would go forth healed and strong; so rich it was in goodly herbs. And the meadow was so level even that in it was neither hill nor hollow, and all the tree-tops were of one height; no other orchard close so fair was there in all the world. Ask ye not of its fruit, for none such shall ye find; but in the garden they ripened in every season. Wise was he who contrived it, and by enchantment he wrought it, whereof Within was many a proof.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sleeping Beauty, and Other Fairy Tales: From the Old French Englishman found time to read at large in the Caez'net a'es Fees, he would have discovered therein much to corroborate the evidence steadily and unconsciously borne by his own journals - that the urbanity of life among the French upper classes was genuine, reflecting a real and (for a whole society) a remarkable sunniness of disposition. Unconscious of their doom, the little victims played. But they did play; and they fell victims, not to their own passions, but to a form of government economically rotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Old French Romance "Who will list a tale to hear, That was an aged captive's cheer, Of youth and maiden fair and sweet, Aucassin and Nicolette?" Once upon a time it so fell out that a certain Count Bougars of Valence made war upon Count Garin of Beaucaire; he attacked his castle, burned his estates, laid waste his country, and killed all his men. Count Garin was an old man, old and frail; and he had one son whose name was Aucassin. Golden-haired was Aucassin, and his eyes grey-blue; his face was bright and merry, and he had many good gifts. But he had fallen deep in love with a fair maiden, and cared for nothing else in the world but only for Nicolette. Then said his parents to him, "Son, take up arms and mount thy horse and go fight at the head of our men." But Aucassin replied, "I will not mount horse, nor will I go to battle nor strike a blow, if you give me not my sweet friend Nicolette to be my wife." Now to this his parents would not agree, for Nicolette had been brought as a captive from a strange country by the Saracens.

Download or read book Old Time Stories Classic Reprint written by Charles Perrault and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Time Stories F the eleven tales which the present volume com prises, the first eight are from the master - hand of Charles Perrault. Charles Perrault (1628-1703) enjoyed much distinction in his day, and is familiar to students of French literature for the prominent part that he played in the famous Quarrel of the Ancients and Modems, which so keenly occupied French men of letters in the latter part of the seventeenth century. But his fame to-day rests upon his authorship of the traditional Tales of Mother Goose or Stories of Olden Times, and so long as there are children to listen spellbound to the adventures of Cinder ella, Red Riding Hood, and that arch rogue Puss in Boots, his memory will endure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aucassin and Nicolette: Translated From the Old French The story of Love, that simple theme with variations ad libitum, da' irg'z'ninnn, is never old, never stale, never out-of - date. And as we some times seek rest from the brilliant audacities and complex passions of Wagner or Tschaikowsky in the tender simplicity of some ancient English air, so we occasionally turn with relief from the wit and insight and subtlety of our modern novelists to the old uncomplicated tales of faerie or romance, and find them after all more moving, more tender, even more real, than all the laboured realism of these photographic days. And here before us is of all pretty love-stories perhaps the prettiest. Idyllic as Daphnis and Chloe, romantic as Romeo and Juliet, tender as Undine.

Download or read book The Story of Old France Classic Reprint written by H. A. Guerber and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old France The aim of this volume is to give a complete graphic account of the main features of the history of France to 1715 A.D., with as much additional illuminating detail as limited space permits. Besides outlines of the principal events, this narrative includes many biographical sketches, together with the anecdotes and sayings to which allusions are often made in literature, politics, and art. It also gives such data in regard to places, public buildings, and works of art as the well informed like to have at their fingers' ends. As the book is intended mainly for youthful readers, due regard has been paid to moral teachings and to the judicious omission of harmful incidents. The book is arranged for elementary history classes, and for supplementary reading as well. Some acquaintance with the history of France is most helpful in understanding and studying literature, and English, American, Medieval, and General history. Besides, in schools where French is taught, it can serve as a work of reference for the pupils, who continually stumble across names and allusions which require elucidation. The author, therefore, hopes many schools will find this narrative useful in one or the other connection, and that it will appeal equally to teachers and pupils and perhaps to other readers also. Many names occur and recur in the text because familiarity with their appearance is desirable from an educational point of view.
