Product Description Si l'on en croit la richesse de ce volume, la nouvelle est un genre trs pris au XVIIIe sicle. Henri Coulet s'interroge longuement dans une prface savante sur l'identit mme de la nouvelle. Marivaux, Hamilton, Cazotte, Sade, Florian, Mme de Stal, mais aussi le comte de Caylus ou Mme B... d'Arras, pour ne citer que quelquesuns d'une soixantaine d'auteurs, nous racontent sous des formes diverses des histoires qui tournent autour de l'amour, de la sduction, du mariage convoit, de la passion frustre et, terme, de l'argent.Le charme majeur de ces rcits ne tient pourtant pas tant leurs sujets, si imaginatifs soientils, qu' la beaut de la langue. Langue l'apoge de sa grce et de sa puissance qui se donne lire avec volupt. Et lorsque le conteur est en plus un gnial crivain, la nouvelle alors nous transporte dans les hauteurs d'une littrature sans ge. Michle Gazier Tlrama Book Description Anthologie runissant plus d'une cinquantaine d'auteurs de textes courts, dont "le dessein est de divertir le lecteur, et non pas de l'attrister". From the Back Cover Amusant, facile lire, rapidement lu, parfois arrang, dguis, traduit, adapt, plagi, le rcit court appartient en somme au domaine public. Au XVIII? sicle, il est un divertissement, un jeu de socit, et doit tre bref, nouveau, intressant et vari. Un auteur de nouvelles joue sur tous les registres, ralisme, moralisme, satire, idylle, allgorie, ferie... En somme De tout un peu, comme le proclame le titre d'un recueil de 1766. C'est aprs avoir fait les beaux jours des priodiques que les nouvelles taient runies en recueil. L'abb Bordelon voyait clairement ce que le genre, sous cette forme, avait offrir au lecteur : "On pourra quitter mon livre quand on voudra, sans craindre de perdre le fil du discours, reprendre la lecture, sans tre oblig pour se remettre sur les voies de relire ce qui prcde. [...] Quoi de plus commode ?"Le prsent volume, qui mle des nouvelles signes de grands noms (Marivaux, Diderot, Prvost, Sade, Mme de Stal) celles d'auteurs moins (re)connus, voire anonymes, a recherch le mme agrment, la mme nouveaut, la mme commodit de lecture que les recueils du XVIII?.
