Le Journal d'un homme de trop
Le Journal d'un homme de trop
Ivan Turgenev
¥8.82
" Plus profondément je rentre en moi-même, plus attentivement j'examine toute ma vie passée, et plus je me convaincs de la rigoureuse vérité de cette expression. De trop : c'est bien cela... de moi, il n'y a pas moyen de dire autre chose : homme de trop, c'est tout." Tourguéniev écrivit Le journal d'un homme de trop en 1850. Publié en France en 1863, le succès fut immédiat. Cette nouvelle contient tout le génie du plus russe des romanciers russes : d'une part l'amour passionné de la nature, des grands espaces, des forêts de bouleaux, des oiseaux sauvages; de l'autre, des personnages fragiles, inquiets, velléitaires, incapables d'exprimer les passions qui les habitent.

Never had he felt such weariness of body and of spirit.

Louise von François
¥8.82
Es war ein Glücksfall. Gustav Freytag, mit Julian Schmidt zusammen der literaturkritische Tribun des Realismus, an dem kein Autor dieser Jahre vorbeikam, fand ?ffentlich Gefallen an Louise von Fran?ois’ erstem Roman "Die letzte Reckenburgerin" (1871), so dass die Autorin immerhin eine gewisse zeitgen?ssische Anerkennung und einen gewissen Nachruhm erlangen konnte. Leider nicht genug, wie ich meine. Zwar mag es sein, dass Storms Diktion edler ist, dass Fontanes hintersinnige Verweisungszusammenh?nge einen raffinierten Ziseleur verraten ... aber was den sog. "Realismus" betrifft und erst recht die Themenvielfalt: da kann die Dame den Herren locker zeigen, wo der Hammer h?ngt. W?hrend die ?gro?en? Realisten allesamt in den verschiedensten Gesamt- und Einzelausgaben immer wieder aufgelegt worden sind und noch werden, sieht es bei Louise von Fran?ois recht mager aus; die beiden Werkausgaben (1918 fünf B?nde im Insel Verlag, 1924 zwei B?nde im Verlag der Literaturwerke "Minerva", herausgegeben von Karl Weitzel - beide haben etwa den gleichen Umfang, w?hlen jedoch bei den Erz?hlungen unterschiedlich aus) geben kaum die H?lfte des Werkes. Deshalb: Zu ihrem 200. Geburtstag hab ich’s leider nicht mehr geschafft, dann eben mit etwas Versp?tung: Die Gesamtausgabe des erz?hlerischen Werkes.
