Extrait : "MADAME HEURTEBISE. Celle-là, certes, n'était pas faite pour épouser un artiste, surtout ce terrible garçon, passionné, tumultueux, exubérant, qui s'en allait dans la vie le nez en l'air, la moustache hérissée, portant avec crânerie comme un défi à toutes les conventions sottes, à tous les préjugés bourgeois son nom bizarre et fringant de Heurtebise."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARANLes éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de qualité de grands livres de la littérature classique mais également des livres rares en partenariat avec la BNF.

Fromont and Risler -- Volume 3

Literature

5.0

The term 'shameless hussy' could have been invented to describe the main protagonist of Daudets first international bestseller. There are more vulgar epithets one could apply to 'Little Chebe' as she schemes her way up the ladder to reach social equality with her neighbour Claire Fromont, the daughter of the owner of the factory which she studies enviously during her nightly vigils.Fortune favours the wicked as she collects, manipulates and breaks the hearts of all men within her compass to achieve her goal.Daudet suggests that the working conditions and general lack of morality within the environs of Paris contribute to this catastrophe and at the tragic end he makes the point bluntly but nevertheless there are few women in literature with less moral scruple than Shiffonye and the last cruel act of revenge is inspired by the devil. The author had a very unhappy childhood, his father was a bankrupt and in his early career he was mentored by Emile Zola and the Goncourt brothers. His work has the same graphic realism that illumines their novels and he adds the experience of his own traumatic early years to the story. It is a scorching tale and all the characters are either badly burnt or slightly singed by the flames of passion ignited by the Jezebel amongst them.

Sidonie Chèbe et Risler l'aîné viennent de se marier. Pourquoi m'a-t-elle épousé, moi qui ne suis ni beau ni très futé (mais riche et bien placé dans la société) se demande le marié. L'air de triomphe de Sidonie quand elle prend possession de sa nouvelle demeure laisse préjuger de l'avenir. En effet, Sidonie, issue d'une famille pauvre, a toujours envié les riches, et en particulier la famille Fromont, qui possède une usine. À une époque, elle a réussi à se rapprocher de cette famille, en devenant amie avec Claire. Puis elle est tombée amoureuse de l'héritier de la famille, Georges Fromont. Mais celui-ci a fini par épouser Claire, sous la pression de famille. Avec Risler l'aîné, Sidonie essaye de se rapprocher de cette bonne société qui la fascine tant. Mais vivre près de cette bonne société, ne veut pas dire en faire partie, Sidonie l'apprendra vite à ses dépens...

Fromont and Risler -- Volume 2

Young Adult

Nominally Daudet, with the Goncourts and Zola, formed a trio representing Naturalism in fiction. He adopted the watchwords of that school, and by private friendship, no less than by a common profession of faith, was one of them. But the students of the future, while recognizing an obvious affinity between the other two, may be puzzled to find Daudet's name conjoined with theirs.
