Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Spahi's Love-Story: From the French of Pierre Loti Member of the French Academy A very eminent French critic writing, some twenty years ago about the half-dozen novels which Pierre Loti had then published confessed his inability to analyse the very deep impression they had made on his mind and acknowledged that his critical conscience was much disturbed by the phenomenon. "The greatest masterpieces of literature have never troubled me thus," he says. "What is there then in Loti's stories? They are written nonchalantly, in a limited vocabulary, and in short sentences of a very uniform nature. You will not find in any of the tales any exceptional or powerful drama, nor subtle psychology; the whole plot is reduced to a love-affair followed by a separation, and all the personages have very simple characters. Many books, both old and new, have required a very different effort of thought, invention, and execution. But, in spite of all that, Loti's novels intrude upon me and oppress me more than would a drama by Shakespeare, a tragedy by Racine, or a story by Balzac. And that is what disturbs me. Is there a spell about them - some witchcraft - a charm which cannot be explained, or which can be explained, otherwise than by literary merit?" Having confessed that the peculiar charm of Pierre Loti's books cannot be explained, M. Jules Lemaitre thereupon devotes some twenty odd pages to explaining it, but not, as it seems to me, very happily, or at least not completely.

Download or read book On Empire written by Eric Hobsbawm and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these four incisive and keenly perceptive essays, one of out most celebrated and respected historians of modern Europe looks at the world situation and some of the major political problems confronting us at the start of the third millennium. With his usual measured and brilliant historical perspective, Eric Hobsbawm traces the rise of American hegemony in the twenty-first century. He examines the state of steadily increasing world disorder in the context of rapidly growing inequalities created by rampant free-market globalization. He makes clear that there is no longer a plural power system of states whose relations are governed by common laws--including those for the conduct of war. He scrutinizes America's policies, particularly its use of the threat of terrorism as an excuse for unilateral deployment of its global power. Finally, he discusses the ways in which the current American hegemony differs from the defunct British Empire in its inception, its ideology, and its effects on nations and individuals. Hobsbawm is particularly astute in assessing the United States' assertion of world hegemony, its denunciation of formerly accepted international conventions, and its launching of wars of aggression when it sees fit. Aside from the naivete and failure that have surrounded most of these imperial campaigns, Hobsbawm points out that foreign values and institutions--including those associated with a democratic government--can rarely be imposed on countries such as Iraq by outside forces unless the conditions exist that make them acceptable and readily adaptable. Timely and accessible, On Empire is a commanding work of history that should be read by anyone who wants some understanding of the turbulent times in which we live.
Download or read book The Color of Liberty written by Sue Peabody and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France has long defined itself as a color-blind nation where racial bias has no place. Even today, the French universal curriculum for secondary students makes no mention of race or slavery, and many French scholars still resist addressing racial questions. Yet, as this groundbreaking volume shows, color and other racial markers have been major factors in French national life for more than three hundred years. The sixteen essays in The Color of Liberty offer a wealth of innovative research on the neglected history of race in France, ranging from the early modern period to the present. The Color of Liberty addresses four major themes: the evolution of race as an idea in France; representations of "the other" in French literature, art, government, and trade; the international dimensions of French racial thinking, particularly in relation to colonialism; and the impact of racial differences on the shaping of the modern French city. The many permutations of race in French history—as assigned identity, consumer product icon, scientific discourse, philosophical problem, by-product of migration, or tool in empire building—here receive nuanced treatments confronting the malleability of ideas about race and the uses to which they have been put.
