"The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist who has come from the provinces to conquer Paris but is conquered instead by the flaws of his own genius. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series.

ISBN-13: 978-0-582-09616-5, ISBN: 0-582-09616-2

"Both critic and writer, Stendhal has now become established as one of realism's founding fathers. Dr Pearson's book maps out, for the first time, the critical reception of Stendhal's two most widely read novels, The Red and the Black and The Charterhouse of Parma since their publication in 1830 and 1839 respectively. In part one he provides generous samples of the most important nineteenth-century responses to the novels, almost all of ..."

"Almost three hundred years after his birth in 1694, this is the first comprehensive study of Voltaire's contes philosophiques - the philosophical tales for which he is now best remembered and which include the masterpiece Candide. The Fables of Reason situates each of the twenty-six stories in its historical and intellectual context and offers new readings and approaches in the light of modern critical thinking. It rejects the traditio ..."

Stendhal's Violin
A Novelist and his Reader (Hardback)

Hardcover, 312 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1992 von Oup Oxford
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-815851-6, ISBN: 0-19-815851-3

"This new study of Stendhal's novels takes its title from Stendhal's dictum 'Un roman est comme un archet, la caisse du violon qui rend les sons, c'est l'ame du lecteur.' Its central theme is the relationship between novelist and reader, as orchestrated in Armance, Le Rouge et le Noir, Lucien Leuwen and La Chartreuse de Parme. From the author's analyses of these novels it emerges that Stendhal plays upon the reader's reactions and makes ..."

"The motto is from Horace, Epistles, i. 6. 'Huguenots': as Voltaire was aware, the name derived from the German 'Eidgenossen' meaning companions united by oath, or confederates. The term was applied to Protestants in Geneva and subsequently gallicized. Reverend Father Sagard The'odat, the famous Recollect missionary: Gabriel Sagard Théodat published his Grand Voyage au pays des Hurons . . . avec un dictionnaire de la langue huronne ..."

Candide and Other Stories
(Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics)
von Roger Pearson, Roger Voltaire/ Pearson, Francois M. Voltaire

ISBN-13: 978-0-679-41746-0, ISBN: 0-679-41746-X

" Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageo ..."

The Red and the Black(Updated)
A Chronicle of the Nineteenth Century (The World's Classics)
von Catherine Slater, Roger Pearson
Paperback, 592 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1991 von Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-281715-0, ISBN: 0-19-281715-9

"The son of a carpenter, Julian Sorel is inspired by the writings of Napoleon to conquer the heights of society. His initial plan to work his way up through the church is, however, thwarted when he is forced to accept employment as a tutor--and this rash social entrepreneur certainly has not considered the dangers of falling in love. Stendhal's novel is an amusing and piquant study of hypocrisy and free will in post-Napoleonic France."

"Candide, the wittiest and best-loved book of a genius who is still unequaled in his ability to spin art out of philosophy, became a huge bestseller in Europe after it was published in 1759. Voltaire, skeptical of the systems of philosophy that were floated about to explain the workings of the world, used this satirical story about the optimist Candide and his friend Dr. Pangloss to interrogate and discredit the philosophies and approach ..."
