L'auteur démontre ici sa maîtrise de la facette qu'il préfère de son métier de journaliste : l'art de l'entretien. De ses rencontres avec de nombreux personnages de l'époque, qu'ils soient aujourd'hui encore célèbres ou complètement tombés dans l'oubli, il a fait un ouvrage composite, inclassable, et passionnant. Depuis l'actualité littéraire, politique, sociale, de haut niveau, jusqu'au fait divers le plus sordide, il nous ouvre sur le XIXe siècle un aperçu tout à fait inhabituel, un vrai régal pour le lecteur curieux d'insolite. (Édition annotée.)
Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage actress who starred in some of the most famous French plays of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book presents Sarah Bernhard telling her life story to her acquaintance Jules Huret. A reader learns the interesting facts of her personal life, like the joy of being the eleventh child in a family and Berhard's habit of taking her son's first shirt on travels.
A translation of a French book originally published in 1913, just before World War I. French journalist Jules Huret shows us the German Empire as it is during the years he lived there, a book that, because of its date of publication, shows us exactly what it was like to live in the German Empire during Europe's last days of peace. Reading Huret's accounts, there is indeed some fear of a war in Europe. But for the most part it is not about war, because there was no war. Huret raves about what he likes about Germany, and is just as harsh in his criticism for the negative parts. He experiences Germany as it is and tells us about it. This book is part 1 of 3 of Huret's original work, split up due to its length.
Presents the development and the aesthetic theories of the symbolist movement in art and literature
