I highly recommend Zola's short stories for anyone intimitated by the idea of reading french literature 😂 they're very easy to read and yes sometimes they are kind of depressing but in a very entertaining way if that makes sense. Btw when you add an -e to a word that ends with a consonant to make it feminine it changes the pronunciation. So i's Académie française (rhymes with Thérèse) and pièce bien faite (rhymes with pet) :)

At 1:25. I've been studying the French impressionists starting with the first ones--Pissarro, Monet and Renoir. This bit here sounds like the start of impressionistic painting. "Everyone knows that color and light are lost in a simple reflection." That's the thing the impressionists were trying to get away from--the established, shiny, realistic artifice of the Salon paintings, which they found too, well, weakly reflective. "...must be a concentrating mirror, which, instead of weakening, concentrates and condenses the colored rays, which makes of a mere gleam a light, and of a light a flame." This is what impressionists started to do, with Monet and Renoir in the late 1860s painting marvelous revolutionary prisms of color that "concentrated and condensed the colored rays" at la Grenouillère on the Seine River. Fascinating that maybe Monet, Renoir or Pissarro had read this preface from Victor Hugo written decades before and decided to put it in action with paintings.

French lit student here... 1) I’ve read half of Zola’s novels, so I am a fan. But he had a tendency to melancholy and melodrama. Thérèse Raquin is too over the top for me, but it does symbolize the time. Until Feydeau, melodrama was popular. And don’t forget that many plays were adaptations of novels. Successful novels were both serialized and adapted to the theatre. 2) jp15151: since I speak with a Québécois accent, my pronunciation of Raquin would make a Parisian hurt too. So no worries! 😉

@pdruiz20056 жыл бұрын
I said the same thing! This Zola play seems like it was the first time a character who could only communicate with eyes and fingers probably came into literature (he wrote it in the 1860s). So, my guess is that the writers of "Breaking Bad" lifted Hector Salamanca right out of this Zola work.
@vincentemond56206 жыл бұрын
I don't think one can really describe naturalism as being "more real" than realism. You say yourself that Zola see naturalism as a laboratory of hypothesis, but hypothesis are rooted in imagination (derived from truth); it's not what you know would happen, it's what you THINK would happen. Deleuze described Zola and naturalism as taking real places, real world, but spinning them out until they become original, reaching passions and pulsions inside real people. "Study temperaments and not characters." Like a colleague once said, if you can think of anything of note about the 18th century, there's Zola novel about it.

3:26 I'm pretty sure Hugo specifically DIDN'T hire people to come and applaud Hernani. From what I heard, it was the exact opposite. The convention at the time was that the theatre would hire professional applauders called the "claque" to clap and show their appreciation for the show in order to boost its popularity. But when Hernani came out, most of the claque refused to work for Hernani since they considered it below their dignity or whatever, so Hugo had to ask his friends and allies to replace them and to keep coming in as the neoclassicists were bringing in their people to boo and laugh at the piece. (Of course this whole scandal helped the play enormously.)

I would advise you to do your own research to complement them, that's the second video I've seen about French culture and they kinda skim the surface and can either skip important context elements (here the "battle" of Hernani is very much dramatized) or be downright wrong on important "details" (like when the Renaissance takes place in a previous video). Also, they really should check French name's pronunciation.
