Book excerpt: Christiane Mervaud, 'Bestiaires de Voltaire' Pourquoi s'int resser la pr sence des b tes dans l'uvre de Voltaire? Le nombre d'occurrences relatives au r gne animal ne peut laisser indiff rent. Sans n gliger l'apport de la biographie, la recherche s'est efforc e d'abord de d terminer comment la philosophie de Voltaire r agit l' preuve de l'animalit , ce qui a conduit souligner son rejet de la th orie cart sienne de l'animal-machine, son int r t pour les singularit s de la nature. Mais si Voltaire se tient au courant des d veloppements des sciences naturelles, il s'int resse surtout, en historien, au statut de l'animal dans les soci t s et son r le dans les mythologies. Les b tes servent d'observatoire privil gi pour juger de la marche de l'esprit humain. La typologie zoologique d pend d'une typologie textuelle. Alors que la m nagerie du pol miste exploite sans vergogne pr jug s et clich s, dans les bestiaires fabuleux et religieux se d ploie une activit ludique et d sacralisante. Le bestiaire amoureux se permet des variations sur le th me de la bestialit , dans une atmosph re irr elle ou surr elle. L'animal est, bien des titres, un r v lateur de la pens e de Voltaire, une pierre de touche de sa philosophie, un condens de recherches historico-religieuses, un d clic pour la cr ation litt raire, un champ ouvert sa r flexion et sa fantaisie. Fr d ric Deloffre, 'Gen se de Candide tude de la cr ation des personnages et de l' laboration du roman' La pr sente tude ne consid re pas Candide comme une uvre philosophique, mais comme un roman. Voltaire a toujours profess que l'magination ne cr e pas, mais ne fait qu'arranger ce que lui fournit la m moire; nous avons donc recherch quels v nements personnels lui avaient fourni le sch ma de son histoire, quels personnages rencontr s lui avaient inspir ses h ros. Nous n'avons retenu comme significatives que les donn es qui se rattachent des ensembles, parmi lesquels nous avons privil gi celui qui s'organise autour du lieu fondateur, Thunder-ten-Tronckh, transposition satirique du ch teau de B ckeburg. C'est l que Voltaire a rencontr Henri Le Ma tre, chapelain du lieu, dont il fera Pangloss, et Mme Bentinck, la 'franche westphalienne' qui pr tera des traits Cun gonde; c'est l aussi que fut voqu Fr d ric II, qui passera dans le second chapitre du roman sous le nom du 'roi de Bulgares'. Ce 'fonds m moriel' de B ckeburg/Thunder-ten-tronckh fournit la mati re des quatre premiers chapitres, consacr s respectivement aux conversations de B ckeburg, Pangloss, Cun gonde, et aux relations entre 'Candide et le roi des Bulgares'. Le chapitre 5 tudie le processus par lequel le jeu de r les entre Voltaire et Mme Bentinck finit par rejoindre la fois le roman et la r alit . C'est un nouvel aspect du romancier qui se profile ainsi derri re le philosophe.

This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Ch.-E. Dufourcq was one of the first to map out the relations between the Christian and Muslim coastlands of the medieval western Mediterranean. These studies reveal the extent of the contribution he made to the subject, and the care and attention with which he handled the scattered documentary sources. There are three main themes to the volume: one group of articles focuses on the political and diplomatic aspects of the relations between Spain (Catalonia in particular) and the Maghreb (the lands of the modern Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia); a second is concerned more with commercial contacts and with a comparison of the economic conditions north and south of the Mediterranean, and with the day-to-day life of the sailors and merchants who formed the link between the two. A third theme, most prominent in the final articles, is the social and economic history of Catalonia itself, a subject to which he returned in the final years of his life. Le regretté Ch.-E. Dufourcq à été l’un des premiers à établir les grandes lignes des rapports existant entre les pays côtiers chrétiens et musulmans de la Méditerannée occidentale durant le Moyen Age. Ces études revelent l’éntendue de la contribution de l’auteur à ce sujet, ainsi que le soin et l’attention avec lesquels il en a manié le s sources documentaires dispersées. On retrouve trois themes principeaux au travers de ce volume : un groupe d’articles se concentre sur les aspects politiques et diplomatiques des rapports entre l’Espagne, plus particulièrement la Catalogne, et le Maghreb; le seconde s’attache plus aux contracts commercieaux, comparant les conditions économiques du Nord et du Sud de la Méditérranee, et à la vie quotidienne des marins et des marchands qui formaient le lien entre les deux. Un troisième théme, plus proéminent dans les derniers articles, écrits par l’auteur vers à la fin de sa vie, est celui de l’histoire sociale et économique de la Catalogne elle-
