Diaboliques PDF By:Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly Published on 2015-10-08 by U of Minnesota Press With its six trenchant tales of perverse love, Diaboliques proved so scandalous on its original appearance in 1874 that it was declared a danger to public morality and seized on the grounds of blasphemy and obscenity. More shocking in our day is how little known this masterpiece of French decadent fiction is, despite its singular brilliance and its profound influence on writers from Charles Baudelaire to Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, J. K. Huysmans, and Walter Benjamin. This new, finely calibrated translation—the first in nearly a century—returns Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly’s signature collection to its rightful place in the ranks of literary fiction that tests the bounds of culture. Psychologically intense in substance and style, the stories of Diaboliques combine horror, comedy, and irony to explore the affairs and foibles of men and women whose aristocratic world offers neither comfort nor protect...

Don Juan le révolté, mythe contemporain PDF By:Frédérick Tristan Published on 2009-02-04 by Ecriture La fortune mythique de Don Juan, égal d'un Don Quichotte ou d'un Faust, lui vient-elle du fait qu'il est perçu comme l'éternel amoureux, le frivole tombeur de femmes ? Ou son comportement nous offre-t-il une raison plus profonde d'alerter notre conscience ? Depuis son apparition sous l'aspect du Don Juan Tenorio (1630), le « Trompeur de Séville », sous son masque de gentilhomme, n'a de cesse de se moquer des croyances et des lois de son temps, persuadé que son orgueil lui confère une liberté absolue. Honneur et tromperie se mêlent dans une comédie de moeurs dominée par le blasphème et la révolte. La fameuse statue du Commandeur auquel il tend la main représente aussi bien l'Église, la morale, le mariage que sa propre conscience. Il se nie en tant qu'homme pour se hausser à la hauteur supposée du surhomme, supérieur à Dieu Lui-même. Cet essai, un regar...

The Eleven PDF By:Pierre Michon Published on 2012-12-21 by Archipelago In The Eleven, Michon lets us into the world of Corentin, a painter shaped by—and who eventually shapes—history. Brought up among provincial aristocracy to become a favorite of Parisian society—his paintings are commissioned by Louis XV’s mistress—Corentin’s career rides the Tides of the French Revolution. His masterpiece, |The Eleven,| is an enigmatic Last Supper, representing the eleven members of the Committee of Public Safety (including Robespierre and Saint Just) during the Reign of Terror. Corentin and company, his work of art, and the historical tableau of the French Revolution come to life in dazzling, even painterly, detail. A potent blend of fact and fiction, The Eleven is a beautifully written, astute meditation on the nature of history itself and the artist’s role in it. From the Trade Paperback edition. This Book was ranked at 15 by Google Books for keyword Contemporain. Book ID of The Eleven's Bo...

The Book of Portraiture PDF By:Steve Tomasula Published on 2006 by Fc2/Black Ice Books A desert nomad struggles at the close of the ancient world to inscribe himself into life, and centuries later a Renaissance artist attempts to overcome his lowly origins by painting nobility. Throughout Steve Tomasula's visually arresting fiction, human beings seek to become both what they are and are not through visual representation. An early twentieth-century psychoanalyst in search of a cure for sexual neurosis discovers the image of his own desire in a female client, and an accidental community of twenty-first century devotees of the image connects the pixels to make their group portrait come into focus. Across a canvas that spans centuries, several narrators look through the lens of their own time and portray objects of desire in paint, dreams, photography, electronic data, and genetic code. Together the images comprise a collage of styles, habits of mind, and ways of speaking which tell th...
