Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of the Evil One It is probably safe to say that most English-speaking people are more familiar with the winter-sports of Switzerland than with its literature. Even those who are vaguely conscious of the Swiss birth of Rousseau, Vinet, Benjamin Constant, and Amiel, have never thought of them as part of a national Swiss literature. Nor have the writers of modern French Switzerland emerged any more clearly from the mainstream of French literature. A few readers may remember the nationality of Edouard Rod, which prevented his election to the French Academy. But how many living Swiss writers are known? When one has explored for many years a bypath of letters and made some interesting discoveries, it is at once gratifying and embarrassing to be called upon to justify one's weakness for adventuring outside the main-travelled roads of European literature.

Excerpt: ...say what we expect him to, if he should hesitate, ever so little!..." He said no more but raised a clenched fist, and they felt he had taken a terrible resolution. So these seven men set forth, and the women stayed with Heloise. The men had not far to go, --a hundred yards at the most. When they reached the sharp turning in the street the fine blue signboard confronted them. Joseph stepped up to the window of the shop and knocked on the pane. Branchu was there, and the others were afraid that Joseph might not be able to contain his anger, that he might insult him or even knock him down. But the expected did not happen. Branchu opened the window and asked Joseph what he could do for him; Joseph had no answer to make. It was all because the shop was so quiet. Its occupant had been peacefully waxing his thread, and at the knock he had turned towards them the face of a man who was only thinking of his job. He had put down his hammer and placed his work upon a chair. Was that how a man with something on his conscience would behave? "Please come in," said Branchu to Joseph, and seeing the others, "and your friends too, if they will give me that pleasure." Perhaps he thought they wanted to order something--Joseph on his side was completely at a loss; he was speechless, and could only shake his head. In a moment or two they were all in the street again, and Branchu watched them go, leaning on the window sill. He too seemed not to have understood, and he looked as though he were saying to himself that undoubtedly there had been some mistake. A rosy light glowed everywhere as four o'clock struck; the big cloud was still blotting out the sun, for it moved in the sky at the sun's pace and covered it like an eye-lid. Some rays, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An except from the INTRODUCTION by Ernest Boyd. The style of M. Ramuz is coloured by this inevitable Protestant influence which is so unlike the movement of the French prose of France. Add to that his deliberate cultivation of popular Swiss speech, which has a harshness and a lack of grace at times intolerable to the ear accustomed to the finely polished instrument of cultured French. His critics have not hesitated to warn M. Ramuz of the risk he incurs of forgetting the definite limitations of his method, and passages of great slovenliness have been cited against him. In this respect his last four volumes show him to be impenitent, but they have marked a new phase in his development. Le Regne de I'Esprit Malin, Les Signes parmi nous, and La Gumson des Maladies, were all three published by the group of Les Cahiers vaudois, and to them may be added his last novel, Terre du del (1921), which is in the same manner. These stories are of a mystical rather than a realistic character, and suggest at times the apparently ubiquitous influence of Claudel. But M. Ramuz is faithful to his Swiss peasants, and what he gives us, for instance in La Guirison is a sort of Protestant Claudelism. One prefers the human tragedy of Aline to the mystico-religious study of the miracle-working Marie, who takes to herself the diseases of the village, until the unsympathetic authorities remove her to hospital. In Les Signes the author essays to give the air of mysterious portents to the threat of two sinister events, which throw their shadow over a prosperous community in war time. The one, which is never named, is an epidemic of "Spanish influenza," the other is "bolshevism." M. Ramuz gives a vigorous and graphic description of the outbreak of industrial warfare, but, in the end, he rolls the clouds by most conveniently, and leaves his community in the happiest of circumstances. Terre du del is a characteristic novel of his later manner in its combination of scrupulous realism in the portrayal of manners with a charming element of legend and folk-lore, testifying once more to his preoccupation with the spirit of the Vaudois countryside. Ever since The Reign of the Evil One an element of satire has been perceptible in his work, and here it peeps forth at the very basis of his story. The whole fable is essentially a legend, whether drawn from actual folk-lore or conceived out of the author's own imagination, telling how paradise seems to the rustic adventurers who suddenly find themselves in heaven, and deriving a peculiar savour from the style in which it is cast. C. F. Ramuz: has always written a remarkable French, compounded of archaisms, folk-speech, and the idiom of his country, which differs markedly in rhythm and phrase from that of France. Terre du del is a typical piece of his prose, awkward and lumbering, but powerful, with the movement of bodies that have been bent over the plough and are no longer supple. It is the writing of one who seems peculiarly fitted to express the mind and interpret the imagination of the peasant, who has never been completely expressed in French literature. The Reign of the Evil One is a rural fantasia comparable to Synge's Playboy of the Western World. I hope in its English form it may be the means of bringing a new public to the work of the greatest Swiss novelist, who is, at the same time, one of the most original writers in the French language now living.

Download or read book A Marginal Jew Rethinking the Historical Jesus Volume V written by John P. Meier and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, New Testament scholars have operated on the belief that most, if not all, of the narrative parables in the Synoptic Gospels can be attributed to the historical Jesus. This book challenges that consensus and argues instead that only four parables—those of the Mustard Seed, the Evil Tenants, the Talents, and the Great Supper—can be attributed to the historical Jesus with fair certitude. In this eagerly anticipated fifth volume of A Marginal Jew, John Meier approaches this controversial subject with the same rigor and insight that garnered his earlier volumes praise from such publications as the New York Times and Christianity Today. This seminal volume pushes forward his masterful body of work in his ongoing quest for the historical Jesus.
