Les Ailes d'Icare (Classic Reprint) (French Edition)
(Excerpt from Les Ailes d'Icare Assis en face de la chemi...)
Excerpt from Les Ailes d'Icare Assis en face de la cheminée, la tête appuyée au dos sier d'un grand fauteuil de tapisserie, les bras entrelacés, les jambes l'une sur l'autre, le nez en l'air et les yeux à demi fermés, ce jeune homme bâillait largement et avec tant de régularité, qu'il semblait que ce fût là sa manière de respirer. Dans son inaction il paraissait insensible à tout, même aux caprices incommodes d'un foyer près de s'éteindre, qui prouvait, en ce moment, que s'il n'y ja mais de feu sans fumée, il peut y avoir en revanche de la fumée sans feu.

Excerpt from L'Écueil Il essuya par un geste convulsif la sueur qui humectait son front livide, et se penchant sur ce lit plus redoutable pour lui que n'eùt été une tombe entr'ouverte, il approcha de nouveau son oreille de la bouche fraîche et charmante d'où sortaient des paroles empoisonnées.

La Peau Du Lion Et La Chasse Aux Amants
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Charles de Bernard
Edit Profile
also known as
Pierre Marie Charles de Bernard du Grail de la Villette
Education
Bernard was educated at the college of his native city, and studied for the law in Dijon and at Paris.
Career
After studying for the law, and then taking to journalism, Bernard was encouraged by Balzac (whose Peau de chagrin he had reviewed) to settle in Paris and devote himself to authorship; and the result was a series of volumes of fiction, remarkable for their picture of provincial society and the Parisian bourgeoisie. The best of these are 'Le Noeud Gordien' (1838), containing among other short stories Une Aventure de magistral, from which Sardou drew his comedy of the Pommes du voisin; 'Gerfaut' (1838), considered his masterpiece; 'Les Ailes d'Icare' (1840), 'La Peau du lion' (1841) and 'Le Gentilhomme campagnard' (1847). His Oeuvres complites (12 vols. ) , which appeared after his death on the 6th of March 1850, include also his poetry and two comedies written in collaboration with "Leonce" (С. H. L. Laurengot, 1805- 1862). A flattering appreciation by Armand de Pontmartin is prefixed to Un Beau-pere in this collection. In W. M. Thackeray's Paris Sketch-book ("On some fashionable French novels") there is an admirable criticism of Bernard.

Personality
Quotes from others about the person
He surpasses [Balzac] in energy and limpidity of composition. His style is elegant and cultured. His genius is most fully represented in a score or so of delightful tales . .. full of invention and originality, and saturated with the purest and pleasantest essence of the spirit which . .. made French literature the delight and recreation of Europe. - Jules Arsène Arnaud Claretie
M. de Bernard's characters are men and women of genteel society--rascals enough, but living in no state of convulsive crimes; and we follow him in his lively, malicious account of their manners, without risk of lighting upon any such horrors as Balzac or Dumas has provided for us. - William Makepeace Thackeray
Charles de Bernard has at the present day hardly more than an historical value, and his novels are not to be recommended to people who have anything of especial importance at hand to read. But in speaking of the secondary French novelists it is but fair to allow him a comfortable niche, for if he be not especially worth studying he at least leaves you a very friendly feeling for him if he comes in your way. - Henry James
