Jean Marais (the Prince of Cleves, the husband ) Marina Vlady (The Princess of Cleves)
in the film (beautiful) by Jean Delannoy
Madame de La Fayette is a timeless writer, admittedly a bit difficult reading for our contemporaries, but never forget after having attended.
Marie-Madeleine de Lavergne was born in Paris lived as a child in society salons, before marrying the Count de La Fayette, she followed in the Auvergne. Back in Paris, it binds to La Rochefoucauld and publish under the name of a new psychological Segrais Princess de Montpensier (Bertrand Tavernier has drawn a film shown at Cannes Film Festival, which will be released this fall). It seems that in 1678 his masterpiece: Princess of Cleves . A novel
difficult? Perhaps because there two novels in the works: a historical novel that recounts the intrigues and court life of the Valois, whose subtleties may overtake us and tiring but the psychological novel himself is unsurpassed. Madame de La Fayette painted the anguish and remorse of a troubled conscience. From one end to another, the heroine opposes a futile resistance to progress in her passion, lucid in its weakness, virtuous until after his unfortunate history, and ultimately enigmatic. Did she not understand that this love that flourished because it was banned? And what happened was if she was married Nemours ? Jealousy and guilt have perhaps never been so well analyzed in this novel and the three characters, The Prince of Cleves, the husband, the Duke of Nemours, the platonic lover and the Princess.
The style has the simplicity and style of the density of classical masterpieces. The vocabulary is actually quite poor and abstract but the words are chosen with much happiness and arranged with a taste so sure they produce the maximum effect. Such is the quality of this art discreet and flexible, which lends itself to both ratings of the most brutal and most subtle remarks.
Madame de La Fayette gave with the Princess of Cleves, one of the most pure and classic style of French psychological novel.
Today, just a young writer published a short text, written in a style a bit harsh, and devoting considerable space to analysis sentimental, so that immediately evokes criticism Princess of Cleves . Literary posterity to Madame de La Fayette to France is innumerable. My favorite
sentence in the novel: " There were too long she had seen for themselves to do not see "
