Summary |
"Journal des Goncourt (Troisième série, deuxième volume)" by Goncourt and Goncourt is a collection of literary memoirs written in the late 19th century. This work provides a vivid account of the authors’ observations, thoughts, and experiences in the literary world of their time, highlighting their interactions with notable figures, cultural reflections, and their own artistic pursuits. The memoirs convey a deep engagement with French literature, theater, and society as it transitions through political and social changes. At the start of this volume, the entries reveal a blend of personal reflections and critiques of the literary scene, beginning with aspirations for leisure at the Exposition after a major theatrical endeavor. The authors express frustrations towards the critical reception of their works, showcase conversations with contemporary writers such as Daudet and Zola, and comment on the evolving dynamics within the theater community. The tone oscillates between introspective musings on artistic integrity and observations on the audience's reactions, setting the stage for an insightful exploration of the Goncourts' literary environment.
