France's literature is one of the treasures of world culture. She deserves her to read it in all countries and in all centuries. The problems that were raised in their works of French writers, worried people always, and the time will never come when they leave indifferent readers. Epochs, historical entourage, costumes of characters change, but passions remain unchanged, the essence of relations between men and women, their happiness and suffering. The tradition of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries continued modern French writers, the writers of the 20th century.
The community of Russian and French literary schools
What do we know about European masters of the word regarding the recent past? Of course, many countries have made a significant contribution to the overall cultural heritage. Wonderful books wrote and Britain, Germany, Austria, Spain, but in the number of outstanding works the first places occupy, of course, Russian and French writers. The list of them (and books, and authors) is truly huge. It is not wonderful that the publication is multiple, readers a lot and today, in the age of the Internet, the list of shields is also impressive. What is the secret of this popularity? Both in Russia and in France there are long-standing humanistic traditions. The chapter of the plot, as a rule, is not a historical event, no matter how outstanding it is, and a person, with his passions, advantages, disadvantages and even weaknesses and vices. The author is not taken to condemn his characters, but prefers to provide the reader to draw conclusions about what fate to choose. He even regrets those of them who chose the wrong way. There are many examples.
How Flaubert regretted his Madame Bovarie
Gustave Flaubert was born on December 12, 1821 in Ruang. The monotony of provincial life was familiar to him since childhood, and in mature years he rarely left his town, only once after having completed a long trip to the East (Algeria, Tunisia), and, of course, attended Paris. This French poet and writer composed poems that many critics seemed to be then (there is such an opinion today) too melancholy-languid. In 1857, he wrote the novel Madame Bovari, who received scandalous fame at that time. The story of a woman who sought to escape from the postpoint circle of ordinary and therefore changed her husband, then seemed not just controversial, but even indecent.
However, this plot, alas, in life is quite frequent, performed by the Great Master, goes beyond the framework of a conventional scaby joke. Flaubert is trying, and with great success, to penetrate the psychology of his characters, to which he sometimes experiences anger, expressed in a merciless satire, but more often - pity. His heroine is tragically dying, the despised and loving husband, apparently, (it is guessing, what is denoted by the text) knows about everything, but sincerely grows, mourning his wrong wife. And Flaubert, and other French writers of the XIX century quite a lot of works devoted loyalty and love issues.
Maupassan
With the light hand of many literary writers, he is considered almost the founder of romantic erotic in the literature. This opinion is based on some points in its works containing immodest, by the standards of the XIX century, descriptions of an intimate scene. From today's art historical positions, these episodes look quite decent and, in general, plotically justified. Moreover, in novels, the titles and stories of this wonderful writer, this is not the main thing. The first place to significantly occupy relationships between people and such personal qualities as the viciousness, the ability to love, forgive and just be happy. Like other famous French writers, Maupassan studies the soul of man and identifies the necessary conditions for his freedom. He is tormented by the hypocrisy of "public opinion", created just those who are not perfect, but all imposes their ideas about the decency.
For example, in the story "Zolotar" he describes the story of the touching love of the French soldier for a black resident of the colony. His happiness did not take place, the relatives did not understand his feelings and were afraid of the possible condemnation of the neighbors.
Interesting aphorisms of the writer about the war, which he likes to the crash of the ship, and which should be avoided by all world leaders with the same caution as the captains of the courts feared the reefs. Observation Maupassian exhibits, opposing a low self-esteem of excessive complacency, counting both of these qualities.
Zola
Not less, but, perhaps, the French writer Emil Zola more shuffled the reader's public. He willingly took the story of the life of Kurtizanok ("Western", "Nana"), the inhabitants of the social bottom ("Paris") in detail, described in detail the heavy life of carbon panels ("Zerminal") and even the psychology of the Manyak killer ("Man-beast" ). Unusual overall literary form chosen by the author.
Most of their works he united into a twenty-thousand meeting, which received the common name "Roigon-Makcara". With all the variety of plots and expressive forms, it represents something unity that it is worth perceiving entirely. However, any of the zol novels can be read and individually, it will not be less interesting.
Jules Verne, fiction
Another French writer, Jules Verne, does not need a special idea, he became the founder of the genre that was further determined by the definition of "scientific fiction." To which this amazing narrator, which was not thought of the appearance of atomic underwater cruisers, torpedoes, lunar missiles and other modern attributes that became the property of humanity only in the twentieth century. Many of his fantasies today may seem naive, but the novels are read easily, and these are their main dignity.
In addition, the plots of modern Hollywood blockbusters about the resurrected from the non-existence of dinosaurs look much less believable than the story of the Updated Lizards found on the Latin American Plateau, found by brave travelers ("Lost World"). And the romance about how the earth shouted from the ruthless injection with a giant needle and comes out for the genre framework, perceived as a prophetic parable.
Hugo
No less fascinated in his novels French writer Hugo. His characters fall into the most different circumstances, showing themselves bright features of individuality. Even negative heroes (for example, Zhaver from the "rejected" or Claude Frollo from the "Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God") have a certain charm.
The historical component of the narrative is important, from which the reader with ease and interest learns many useful facts, in particular, about the circumstances of the French revolution and Bonapartism in France. Jean Volzhan from the "disconnected" became the personification of an incentive nobility and honesty.
Exupery
Modern French writers, and such literary crituals include all the writers of the "Heminueevsk-Fitzgerald" era, they also made a lot so that humanity becomes wiser and kinder. The twentieth century did not indulge Europeans in peace decades, and the memories of the greatest war of 1914-1918 were soon reminiscence in the form of another global tragedy.
Not left away from the struggle of honest people around the world with fascism and French writer Exupery - Romantic, the creator of an unforgettable image of a little prince and a military pilot. The posthumous popularity of this writer in the USSR of the fifties and sixties could envy many pop stars who have played songs, including his memory devoted to his and its main character. And today, the thoughts expressed by the boy with another planet, are still urged to kindness and responsibility for their actions.
Duma, Son and Father
They actually had two, father and son, and both wonderful French writers. Who are not familiar with the famous Musketeers and their faithful friend d'Artagnan? Many shields glorified these characters, but none of them could convey the charm of the literary source. The fate of the prisoner of the castle IF will not leave anyone indifferent ("Count Monte Cristo"), and other works are very interesting. They will be useful for young people whose personality becoming just begins, examples of true nobility in the novels of Duma-Father a lot, even eliminate.
As for the Son, he also did not prevail the famous surname. The novels "Dr. Servan", "Three Strong Men" and other works brightly highlighted the features and blessing features of the modern society, and the "lady with camellias" not only enjoyed well-deserved reader success, but also inspired by the Italian composer Verdi to Writing the Opera "Traviata", It was based on her libretto.
Siememon
Detective will always be one of the most reading genres. The reader is interested in it all - and who committed a crime, and motives, and evidence, and the indispensable exposure of the perpetrators. But a detective detective distribution. One of the best writers of the modern era, of course, is Georges Siemenon, the creator of an unforgettable image of the Commissioner of the Paris Police Megre. The artistic technique itself is quite common in the world literature, the image of a detective intellectual with an indispensable feature of the appearance and the recognizable hawth was exploited repeatedly.
Megre Siemeon differs from many of its "colleagues" again characteristic of French literature with kindness and mentality. He is also ready to go to meet a cold and even (oh, horror!) To violate certain formal articles of the law, keeping him still loyalty in the main thing, not in the letter, in his spirit ("And still Oshness green").
Just a wonderful writer.
GR
If you distract from past centuries and once again return to modernity, then the French writer Cedric Gra, a big friend of our country, who dedicated two books by the Russian Far East and its inhabitants deserves attention. After seeing many exotic regions of the planet, he became interested in Russia, lived in it for many years, learned the language that, undoubtedly, he helps to know the notorious "mysterious soul", which he already finishes writing a third book on the same topic. Here gras found something that, apparently, he was so lacked on his prosperous and comfortable homeland. It attracts some "oddity" (from the point of view of the European) national nature, the desire of men to be courageous, their recklessness and openness. For the Russian reader, the French writer Cedric Gra is interested in this "look from the side", gradually becoming becoming increasingly.
Sartre
Perhaps there is no other French writer, so close to the Russian heart. Much in his work reminds about the friend of the great literature of the literature of all times and peoples - Fyodor Mikhailovic Dostoevsky. The first Roman Jean-Field of Sartre "Noshnota" (many consider it the best) argued the concept of freedom as a category of internal, not subject to external circumstances, on which a person is doomed to the very fact of his birth.
The position of the author was confirmed not only by his novels, essays and plays, but also by personal behavior demonstrating complete independence. The man of left views, he, however, criticized the politics of the USSR of the post-war period, which did not prevent him in, turn, abandon the prestigious Nobel Prize, awarded for allegedly anti-Soviet publications. Of the same considerations, he did not accept the Order of the Honorary Legion. Such a non-conformist deserves respect and attention, read it, of course, is worth it.
Vive La France!
The article does not mention many other outstanding French writers by no means because they do not deserve love and attention to a lesser extent. You can tell about them infinitely, enthusiastically and enthusiastically, but as long as the reader himself will not attend the book, will not reveal it, it does not fall under the charm of wonderful lines, sharp thoughts, humor, sarcasm, bright sadness and kindness emitted by pages . There are no urgent peoples, but there is definitely outstanding who have made a special contribution to the world treasury of culture. For those who love Russian literature, the admission and the works of French authors will be especially pleasant and useful.
