Leaves From A Family Journal (1855)

Beschreibung

""Leaves From A Family Journal"" is a book written by Emile Souvestre and published in 1855. The book is a collection of journal entries written by a family over a period of several years. The family is made up of a father, mother, and their three children, and the entries cover a wide range of topics, including family life, social events, and the political climate of the time. The book is written in a narrative style, with each entry providing a snapshot of the family's daily life. The entries are often humorous and light-hearted, but they also touch on more serious topics, such as illness and death. One of the unique aspects of the book is that it provides a glimpse into the lives of a middle-class family in the mid-19th century. The family's experiences and struggles are relatable, even to modern readers, and the book offers a fascinating look at how daily life has changed over the past 150 years. Overall, ""Leaves From A Family Journal"" is a charming and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on family life in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Émile Souvestre (1806 - 1854) was a French novelist who was a native of Morlaix, Finistère. He was the son of a civil engineer and was educated at the college of Pontivy, with the intention of following his father's career by entering the Polytechnic School. However, his father died in 1823 and he matriculated as a law student at Rennes but soon devoted himself to literature. He was by turns a bookseller's assistant, a private schoolmaster in Nantes, a journalist and a grammar school teacher in Brest and a teacher in Mulhouse. He settled in Paris in 1836. He began his literary career with a drama, played at the Théâtre français in 1828, the Siege de Missolonghi. This tragedy was a pronounced failure. In novel writing he did much better than for the stage, deliberately aiming at making the novel an engine of moral instruction. His first two novels L'Echelle de Femmes and Riche et Pauvre met with favorable receptions. His best work is to be found in the Derniers Bretons (4 vols., 1835-1837) and Foyer breton (1844), where the folk-lore and natural features of his native province are worked up into story form and in Un Philosophe sous les toils, which received in 1851 a well-deserved academic prize. He also wrote a number of other works-novels, dramas, essays and miscellanies.
