This work brings together the various introductions the Goncourt brothers penned for their literary works over the years, reflecting their innovative thoughts on literature and the arts. The book covers a range of topics, including their perspectives on the novel, theater, and art, highlighting their quest to push the boundaries of literary expression and realism.
