Synopsis

This French novel, originally titled La Tache d'encre, delves into the life of a young law professor, known for his quiet demeanor, who is thrust into a series of personal and professional dilemmas. The story explores themes of ambition, moral integrity, and the balance between duty and personal fulfillment. With a delicate blend of humor and social commentary, Bazin paints a vivid picture of late 19th-century French society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

His works may be put into the hands of cloistered virgins, and there are not, to my knowledge, many other contemporary French imaginative writers who could endure this stringent test. Some critics, indeed, while praising him, scoff at his chaste and surprising optimism; but it is refreshing to recommend to English readers, in these days of Realism and Naturalism, the works of a recent French writer which do not require maturity of years in the reader. Une Tache d Encre, as I have said, was crowned by the French A cademy; and Bazin received from the same exalted body the Prix Vitet for the ensemble of his writings in 1896, being finally admitted a member of the Academy in June, 1903. He occupies the chair of Ernest Legouve .B azin sfirst romance, Stephanette, was published under the pseudonym Bernard Seigny, in 1884; then followed Victor Pavie (1887); Noellet (1890); A VA venture (1891) and Sicile (1892), two books on I taly, of which the last mentioned was likewise crowned by the French A cademy; La Legende de Sainte-B ega (1892); La Sarcelle Bleue (1892); Madame Corentine (1893); Les I taliens daujourd hui (1894); Humble Amour (1894); En Province (1896); Detoute son A me (1897), a realistic but moderate romance of. a workingmans life; Les Contes de Perrette (1898); La Terre qui Meurt (1899); Le Guide de IE mpereur (1901); Les Oberle (1902), a tale from Alsace of to-day, sketching the political situation, approximately correct, and lately adapted for the stage; Donatienne

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nfe BAZIN rc$Q ir3 III DENE-FRAN gOIS-NICOLAS-MARIE BAZIN was bom at A ngers, December 26, 1853. He studied for the bar, became a lawyer and professor of jurisprudence at the Catholic University in his native city, and early contributed to Le Correspondanty Ul Uustrationj Journal des Dx Us, Reirue du Deux Mondes, etc. Although quietly writing fiction for the last fifteen years or so, he was not well known until the dawn of the twentieth century, when his moral studies of provincial life under the form of novels and romances became appreciated. He is a profound psychologist, a force in literature, and his style is very pure and attractive. He advocates resignation and the domestic virtues, yet his books are neither dull, nor tiresome, nor priggish; and as he has advanced in years and experience M. Bazin has shown an increasing ambition to deal with larger problems than are involved for instance, in the innocent love-aflfairs of Ma Xante Giron (1886), a book which enraptured Ludovic Hal6vy. His novel, Une Tache d Encre (1888), a romance of scholarly life, was crowned by the French A cademy, to which he was elected in 1903.
