Produktbeschreibung
The 20 stories collected in the present volume, all written during the 19th century, may not be real contes de fées, in the sense of the classic works of the Comtesse de Murat and Madame d'Aulnoy, but they do retain conscious echoes of the originals, and despite the interference in the genre's subsequent history, they maintain residues of the same spirit as well as fragments of imagery. Some writers developed the more broadly comic aspect of the genre; others created "authentic" folkloristic materials in a semi-reverent manner, while maintaining a certain contemporary relevance. Finally, a few managed to take the reborn genre of contes de fées to new extreme of symbolist fantasies in the pages of newspapers. Taken together, these stories are a belated testament to the enterprise and creativity of their distinguished predecessors of the 1690s.
Autorenporträt
Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola (1840 - 1902) was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'accuse. Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902.
