Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes of Parisian Life, Vol. 1: Splendors and Miseries In giving the title of the human comedy to a work in which I have been engaged for nearly thir teen years, I feel it necessary to give a brief explana tion of its origin, scope and plan, and to attempt this as impartially as if it had no personal interest for me. This is not so difficult as the public may imagine. There are few works that contribute much to a man's vanity, and much labor adds to his share of modesty. This observation accounts for the careful examina tion that Corneille, Moliere and other great authors made of their own compositions, and if it is impossi ble for us to equal their lofty conceptions, we may at least strive to imitate them in this characteristic. The first idea of the human comedy came to me like a dream, an impossible project which I wel corned and then allowed to escape; it was a charm ing fancy that showed its smiling face but for an in stant, and spreading its wings uttered back into a visionary heaven. Still, fancy often changes into fact and its tyrannical commands cannot be resisted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Painted Love written by Hollis Clayson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing book, Hollis Clayson provides the first description and analysis of French artistic interest in women prostitutes, examining how the subject was treated in the art of the 1870s and 1880s by such avant-garde painters as Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, as well as by the academic and low-brow painters who were their contemporaries. Clayson not only illuminates the imagery of prostitution-with its contradictory connotations of disgust and fascination-but also tackles the issues and problems relevant to women and men in a patriarchal society. She discusses the conspicuous sexual commerce during this era and the resulting public panic about the deterioration of social life and civilized mores. She describes the system that evolved out of regulating prostitutes and the subsequent rise of clandestine prostitutes who escaped police regulation and who were condemned both for blurring social boundaries and for spreading sexual licentiousness among their moral and social superiors. Clayson argues that the subject of covert prostitution was especially attractive to vanguard painters because it exemplified the commercialization and the ambiguity of modern life.
