Chronique Du Toumet-Ortos
Author: Ann Heylen
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9789058674180
Category : History
Languages : fr
Pages : 420
Book Description
This book introduces Joseph Van Oost's three-volume missionary chronicle, covering the years 1915-1921 when stationed in Inner Mongolia. The author has provided a thematic reading of the chronicle, divided into seven separate chapters. Relevant passages referring to each of these seven themes are selected and annotated as to render the reader familiar with the general background and immediate context. This book does not offer a critical study checking the recorded facts as to their historical accuracy. Rather, it gives a voice to a vivid past, which enables the reader to envisage a picture of every day life in Inner Mongolia, as experienced by the European missionary and the Chinese peasant communities in the early years of the Chinese Republic. Selected themes are as follows: 1. Climate; 2. Chinese customs; 3. Scheut community and an illustration of the outbreak of the plague (1917); 4. Chinese banditry as a socio-political phenomenon; 5. Political developments in Republican China; 6. Bureaucratic reforms, illustrated by the opium policy; 7. International Relations (World War I) and China's modernization. In appendix, the book offers a list of Joseph Van Oost's numerous publications. Bibliographic references, a glossary of Chinese characters and transliterations, a list of Chinese proverbs translated into English and French, and index are included. Illustrations and an excerpt from the handwritten manuscript complete the book.

A selection of the Chroniques (1881-87)
Author: Guy de Maupassant
Publisher: P.Lang
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This selection of Maupassant's journalistic writings, edited in their original French version, encompasses articles on literary, artistic and social issues. Though many writers of the day, including Zola, Mirbeau, and Bourget, supplement their earnings by journalism, Maupassant was mindful of the warnings of his mentor Gustave Flaubert who insisted that journalism was an unworthy occupation for a self-respecting writer. But in 1880 Maupassant finally signed a contract with Le Gaulois and was soon to discover that a regular newspaper column could help him to hone his literary skills, extend his range, and develop his ideas. Critics are now aware that to ignore an activity which occupied a considerable portion of Maupassant's time, during the years when he was most productive, is seriously to distort our view of the scope of a writer whose ideas and convictions are nowhere more clearly delineated than in his chroniques.Indeed, there is much of interest in these pieces written mostly for Le Gaulois, Gil Blas, and Le Figaro. Today's reader can learn about the preoccupations of the reading public in France, about French society and its values, about public opinion, and about corruption in public life.
