Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Journal of Foreign Periodical Literature: January 1834
Such is M. Janin's peculiar way of illustrating the moral suf ferings of a man in want of a belief, and not able to find one. A train of events so ingenious, so logically arranged for bringing out what we presume to be his conclusion, - that in religion, as it now exists in F rance, no such principle of belief is to be found, we believe it would be difficult to parallel. Who does not per ceive the propriety of choosing an incident so probable, so charac teristic of the state of modem society, as that of murdering one's wife on her wedding night, in order to bring out the idea of the want of religious faith experienced at the present moment? Who does not feel that the author has successfully demonstrated the impossibility of any effectual religious consolation, by showing that the hero does meet with a sincere believer, and does derive from him the comfort of which he was in search? Truly might the author observe in his preface, that he had written sans plan at an hasard but most untruly, indeed, does he compare this chimera of his with Crebillon's pictures of his own age, which, though written certainly with great indifference to plot, have all the merit which a faithful resemblance of a most disagreeable original can possess.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the literary phenomenon of French literature from the early 19th century, a period of great social and political upheaval. The author examines the works of prominent figures such as Hugo, Janin, and Sue, and discusses the ways in which their writing both reflected and shaped the tumultuous times in which they lived. The author argues that these writers sought to infuse a sense of purpose and belief into their works, countering the cynicism and despair that pervaded society. Through their exploration of themes such as love, sacrifice, and the search for meaning, these authors sought to provide solace and inspiration to their readers. By examining these works within their historical context, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between literature and society, and offers valuable insights into the power of storytelling to shape human experience.
