Book Description
Shades of Sexuality: Colors and Sexual Identity in the Novels of Blaise Cendrars, by Amanda Leamon, is currently one of the few studies on the modernist poet and novelist Blaise Cendrars to be written in English. Of interest to scholars of Cendrars, Modernism, Twentieth Century French Literature and early Twentieth Century Art and Humanities, Shades of Sexuality is unique among the growing body of criticism and analysis of Cendrars' fiction in that it explores the ways in which Cendrars makes use of the spectrum of fragmented colors and other elements of disguise and trompe-l'oeil, both as an artistic device in the construction of the fictional tekst, and as a recurrent motif in the representation and exploration of the male subject and his relation to woman. The author demonstrates how Cendrars effects intersections of gender in the tekst through the manipulation of colors and their associations with femininity, ultimately undermining the illusory façade of male autonomy which dominates his fictional corpus.
The Fiction of André Pieyre de Mandiargues
Author: David J. BondPublisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815622833
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Novelist, Poet, critic, and writer of short stories, Andre Pieyre de Mandiargues has won considerable praise in France for his highly imaginative work and exquisite poetic style. His 1967 novel La Marge won the Prix Goncourt. Following an introductory biographical chapter in this first full-length critical study of Mandiargues, David bond discusses Mandiargues’s novels and a selection of short stories, finding recurring thematic patterns in his haunting and magical dream world. Bond maintains that the French writer uses fantasy, symbolic statement, and mythical and frankly erotic motifs to explore some of the oldest, most persistent human preoccupation-time, destiny, the beyond, salvation, love-themes that for him defy logical expression. Bond concludes with a discussion of Mandiargues's relationship to other contemporary writers and especially to the surrealists. Bibliography, notes, and index are included, along with a rare painting of Mandiargues by his wife, Bona.

Her family, her friends, and the way she lived—all gone, except for the memory of her name. Lost in a world she does not remember and guided by strangers and a whisper that does not leave her, she soon learns about a tree with the power to return memories. As she grows ever closer to the tree, the whispers awaken a painful feeling. Perhaps she would be better off forgetting everything? What will happen in a world where she has lost everything . . . ? Résumé du livre(Français): « Réveillez-vous, ma chère, et revivez le monde que vous aviez longtemps oublié ... » Elle a été amenée dans un monde qu’elle a oublié depuis longtemps. Sa famille, ses amis et la façon dont elle vivait avant, tout a disparu ... à l’exception du souvenir de son nom. Perdue dans un monde dont elle ne se souvient pas, uniquement guidée par des « étrangers » et un murmure qui ne la quitte pas, elle découvre bientôt qu’un arbre a le pouvoir de lui rendre ses souvenirs. Alors qu’elle se rapproche de plus en plus de l’arbre, les murmures commencent à éveiller un sentiment douloureux. Peut-être ferait-elle mieux de tout oublier ? Que penses-tu qu’il va se passer dans un monde où elle a tout perdu ... ?

Book Description
An innovative author of verse romance, Chretien de Troyes wrote in northern France between 1170 and 1190. Credited with the first Arthurian romance, he composed five works set in King Arthur's court, culminating with an unfinished masterpiece, the Conte del Graal (Story of the Grail). This text is the first to mention the banquet serving dish that became the Holy Grail in early efforts to rewrite or complete the text. This book focuses on the Conte's narrative depiction of mirrors real and metaphorical: shining armor, a polished golden eagle, the Grail itself, St. Paul's enigmatic looking glass, the blood drops in snow in which Perceval sees the face of his beloved. The last chapter joins the controversy over Chretien's intended conclusion, and proposes a climactic ending in which Perceval, heir to the Grail kingdom, confronts his double, Gawain, heir to Arthur's Logres.
