A bisexual trouser role tour de force.......2004-08-09
One of the great, tho surprisingly little known, classics of french lit. I don't believe it's ever been filmed and it would make such a wonderfully modern comedy of manners and sexual politics. Written in the 19th century and surprisingly nouveau. It is possibly my own personal favorite novel, I have several editions and have read it many times. A woman masquerades as a man, in the grand, Shakespearean classic tradition and finds herself drawn to both men and women as they to her. Much homosexual panic and confusion ensues, esp. for the man who finds this intriguing young 'boy' so fascinating. His lover, an older woman, is equally attracted to the disguised girl. Where will it all end? The french invented the menage afterall. Intricately written with lots of social satire and commentary. An interesting footnote: this is the book that Mary is reading in "The Children's Hr." that 'inspires' her imagination which leads to her ratting out her teachers as lesbians.
a beautiful masterpiece.......2004-05-26
I am sixty years old, and although Gautier became one of my favorite writers when I was around eighteen years old, I never got around to reading his masterpiece until now. The long preface of this novel is more famous than the novel itself, but let us talk about the novel. It is not clear just when the action takes place, somewhere between 1650 and 1835, but it doesn't really take place in a particular period, nor does it take place in the real world. It is a sort of fantasy in spite of not having any supernatural elements. It is based in part on Shakespeare's As You Like It, with Rosalind and Orlando being replaced by Maupin and D'Albert. It is somewhat confusing, as the author switches viewpoints from chapter to chapter without warning. Sometimes it is Maupin speaking, sometimes D'Albert, sometimes the author. Gautier worshipped the beauty of the physical and artistic worlds, which is the whole point of the novel. He tends to identify beauty with female beauty, but there are also swans and roses and nightingales and the moon and so much else. It is the most romantic novel ever written. Some readers may be annoyed by Gautier's penchant for description. In one passage, he takes two whole pages just to describe an old tapestry which has nothing to do with the plot. One needs some footnotes if one is not perfectly familiar with all of the learned references that are scattered throughout the novel. In one passage, Gautier mentions a seraglio and a handkerchief being dropped. This refers to the habit of the Turkish sultan of going to his seraglio or harem and dropping a handkerchief in front of the bed partner he has chosen for the night. But Gautier assumes that the reader knows about this and doesn't explain it. There is a lot of what might be called pseudo-homosexuality in the novel, men and women falling in love with women who are disguised as men, only to find out in the end their true sexual identity. The anguish of D'Albert upon thinking that he is in love with a man reads awfully silly to modern audiences that find nothing wrong with this. But it turns out that everybody in the novel is really heterosexual. There is a sex scene at the end, but this novel is far from being pornographic. It used to have a reputation of being a Dirty French Novel, but faded from popularity in the United States after real pornography made people realize how tame Gautier is in comparison. He seems to have been more interested in art than life. He can think of nothing better to compare a beautiful woman to than a statue or painting of a woman. There is not the slightest vulgarity or lapse of taste anywhere in the novel. Some passages are breathtaking. It is a shame that this novel failed to catch fire when Joanna Richardson translated it for Penguin Classics in the early 1980s. It had previously been in Random House's Modern Library series with a dust jacket showing two pairs of shoes, one male and one female, left outside a hotel room door to be cleaned. Gautier's humor is dry and charming. I love this book, but don't expect to find hordes buying it. It is for the few.
One of the best books of the aesthetic movement.......2000-04-04
This book is an unequivocal celebration of Beauty--not the sentimental, middle-class idea of beauty, but the all-encompassing beauty to which the Aesthetic writers were enslaved. The prologue sets forth Gautier's cult of pure aesthetics, and the book is a fulfillment of every sublime principle delineated in the prologue.
The plot is relatively simple: Magdalene is a woman who is discontented with the traditional role of a woman, so she dresses as a man and ventures forth as "Theodore." An aesthete, D'albert, falls in love with her despite her male persona, and Magdalene in turn falls in love with his mistress Rosette. But it is much more complex than that. It is a meditation on the nature of the muse, on the subject-object relations in art, on the implications of gender politics, on the eternal Aesthetic in both life and art.
Book Description
Tim Reinhart enters a wondrous world the moment he buys a farmhouse in rural France. Or, in his marvelous words, "From the moment I saw this property, I had a bead on it. I can't completely explain why, but I had an intense feeling of belonging." Letters to his family back home sweep the reader up in Tim's awakening to the pastoral French lifestyle. From the meals (a solemn, semireligious rite) to the delightfully quirky neighbors, we share Tim's ever-growing pleasures. But his enchantment grows more complicated when his drawings— and then Tim himself—catch the eye of Mademoiselle Benoir, a beautiful woman twenty years his senior. Their decision to marry sets off a cluster bomb, uncovering incendiary layers of emotional and cultural complexity on both sides of the Atlantic, as his family tries to reason with him, her family declares war, and the villagers choose sides. Will tradition triumph over love?

Seek and Ye Shall Find.......2007-01-23
In her novel, "Mademoiselle Benoir," woman's health issues author, Christine Conrad arranges with the deftness of a Japanese floral artiste, a seemingly simplistic tableau of colors and textures that when assembled creates a rich and introspective insight into the realm of the human heart.
Written as a series of letters spanning a two year period, the plot focuses on thirty-eight year old Tim Reinhart, a former professor of mathematics who decides, on a studied impulse to sacrifice his solid academic life in New York to realize his dream to oil paint in the South of France. At first, Tim's letters reflect the typical American fascination with the cultural differences between the older French civilization and that of the socially fledgling United States/ As in other novels and travelogues, Conrad showcases not only the French love of food but presents an amusing portrait interplaying the idiosyncrasies of pastoral life with caricatures of centuries old French "types." She moves into more philosophical ground when she abandons the usual tedious albeit exuberant descriptions of chateau, farmyard and countryside and approaches the bigger more nebulous question of what ultimately delivers happiness in the realm of human existence.
When Tim meets Catherine, a woman over twenty years his senior, the tone of his letters waxes contemplative. With great proficiency, Conrad enlightens the reader to Tim's growing affection for this regally beautiful woman prior to his realization that what he feels for her is more than just respect and admiration. In fact, this illustrates but one example of Conrad's forte as a writer; her ability to depict nuanced personality traits through the medium of letters allows her audience to understand each character's perspective without a third person description of physicality or motivation.
Complimenting the pleasant cadence and development of her plotline, Conrad successfully weaves in meaningful quotations, ideas and appropriate French factoids without allowing these to become contrived or unnecessary eye-rolling displays of too thorough research asides or "isn't that interesting" minutiae that shows off the writer's knowledge of subject matter yet detracts from the overall presentation. Indeed, this women's health advocate truly understands the importance of proper balance in life---hormonal or otherwise. Her sublime working of her own personal philosophy through the mouthpieces of her characters speaks well of her transition from youth to wisdom.
To this reader's great pleasure, Conrad reworks the usual American living abroad scenario to address larger issues that face all of us as we mature and realize that "stuff" and its accoutrements belong to a material world and have little to do with the unconscious drive for further development, both artistic and spiritual, that ultimately facilitates a human life worth living.
As the fox in Saint-Exupéry's Petit Prince dictates, one can only truly see with the heart. Conrad's "Mademoiselle Benoir" bypasses both the material and the physical world and operates solely in an ideal world where essentials count as the true pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Bottom Line? "Mademoiselle Benoir" surpasses my expectations, covering more ground than I thought possible in it's prettily packaged 230 pages. Each of the players through a thoughtful revelation and analysis of fact reveal themselves as fully fleshed our individuals. The events that link their lives together form a cohesive story to which the reader connects automatically, alternately through smiles and tears. If she fails she does so only in attempting to facilitate the scenery as an additional character. Her strong portrayals circumvent this need and perpetuate in the mind of the reader Balzacian models for human vice and virtue.
Hopefully Conrad will not ruin this effort by revisiting the characters in a sequel. In this instance, Conrad has written a near perfect story which needs no reprisal. Recommended highly.

An enchanting story.......2006-04-22
This is a novel written entirely in the form of letters -- and it's a romance. "Mademoiselle Benoir" by Christine Conrad is at once an old-fashioned love story and a completely modern one. At the age of 33, Tim Reinhart buys an old farmhouse in France. Once an assistant professor, he has removed himself from the "American treadmill of success" to concentrate on his drawing. But mom and dad back in New York City aren't happy that their son has moved to France. So they write, he writes, everybody writes. As Reinhart explains, "Sometimes it is easier to pull up the deeper layers of what's going on in one's mind in a letter," so we get to see intimate details of his life.
When he falls in love, he has to deal with disapproving relatives, French laws and the Catholic church. Through the epistolary format, we witness the same event from different people and, as we see more than one side of the characters, they become very real. Reinhart describes the lively, quirky personalities in the neighborhood and the clash of cultures. He shares his love for the French countryside, "the way it spreads itself out before you in great waves, so you can appreciate every turn in the road."
The book makes the reader think about relationships, how everything changes when one's needs and priorities change. It's an enchanting story packaged in a lovely little book.
"Giving annihilates the ruthlessness intrinsic in trying to get our needs met.".......2006-02-26
When Tim Reinhart leaves the stress and complications of his life in New York for the rural countryside of France's Lot Valley, his family is mystified but ultimately supportive. This new-found simplicity is exactly what appeals to him, an unfolding landscape, "bend by bend, layer by layer, field by field, gorge by gorge", early inhabited by Goths, Vikings, Romans and Celts, an inspirational boon to the artist, whose sketches fill the letters he sends home to parents and sister. The story told through these missives, Tim describes his tiny, one-room farmhouse, surrounded by trees, his eccentric neighbors, the French love of food and discourse over meals and the budding romantic relationship with a young woman in the neighborhood who is at times effusive, then taciturn, certainly unpredictable, her changing circumstances an added pressure on the couple. Tim is ambivalent, drawn to her, but protective of his expanding interior life, learning by attrition the French obsession with marriage and family.
While sorting through his romantic conundrum, Tim meets a dynamic and opinionated artist, Pauline LeDuc, part owner of the 15th century Chateau de la Rive, who encourages him to meet with her sister, also an artist, thinking them kindred spirits. Indeed, they are, the twenty-years older Catherine Benoir immediately enchanted with her new young friend, offering cogent advice on his relationship dilemma. Tim basks in the hospitality of the Benoir clan, the three sisters, Pauline's children and grandchildren and their decaying family chateau with its inherent problems, stimulated by this inside view of French life at its most dynamic. As much as Tim appreciates his creative discussions with Catherine, his girlfriend is adamant that a commitment to her means the release of the older woman, a fact that both saddens and confuses Tim, for Mme. Benoir has been more than gracious to both of them.
After a four-week vacation with a college friend from New York, Tim returns a changed man, the charms of his old life receding, replaced with the stimulation of a renewed artistic career. Both Tim and Catherine are appalled to realize that their evolving friendship has turned to love, what Catherine terms "a love without tyranny". Tim breaks the news to his parents, working through their natural objections. More shocking is the Benoir's reaction to the proposed marriage, orchestrated by a vitriolic Pauline, who spares no opportunity to block the religious ceremony that is critical to local society's acceptance of the couple's union: "Even a little happiness attracts a great number of enemies." Although the opposition is hurtful and prolonged, Catherine and Tim rise above the fray, withstanding the ill intentions of others, reinforced by adversity. In this most unusual novel, two people step beyond the conventional in a union born of mutual respect and an unflinching commitment to become man and wife. With the strength of character to forge their own happiness, the couple proves that, "in the end, life requires continued acts of bravery." Luan Gaines/ 2006.
Tender and moving - I could not put it down!.......2006-02-06
Christine Conrad's intimate novel told in letters of a young man who moves to rural France to be an artist and the much older woman he finds as his soulmate and life's love is simply exquisite. Not only is it a beautiful portrait of France, but a radiant and deep portrait of an unpredictable and rich love. This will find a growing audience by word-of-mouth alone. Sometimes I had to put the book down because tears filled my eyes. Beautifully done! I am already recommending it to friends.
Can't Keep a Good Couple Down.......2006-01-30
Neither fawning priests, ossified traditions of la vielle France, nor a sister's corrosive anger can shake the love that unfolds between Mlle. Benoir, a woman of a certain age, and Tim, a young American artist. A lovely story, one that takes you away with rich descriptions of the people, the landscape and, of course, the food, in little-known region of France. A wonderful story to read and to give as a gift.

Book Description
Set in France in the second half of the nineteenth century, The Diary of Mademoiselle D'Arvers is a novel of possibilities and limitations; of love, marriage and domesticity, and the heartaches and joys of growing up. Fifteen-year-old Marguerite, fresh from her convent education and extremely religious, returns to her family and experiences the first stirrings of love, only to find herself entangled in a complicated net of relationships. The story traces Marguerite's growth through adolescence to maturity and marital happiness. Written in secret and discovered by the author's father after her death, this poignant novel is a unique and unexpected outcome of the intellectual, linguistic, and cultural ferment of nineteenth-century colonial Bengal.

Book Description
One of the earliest examples of the classic murder mystery, Hoffman’s remarkable book has been the inspiration for a host of thriller and crime writers.
Parisian goldsmith Monsieur Cardillac is a genius at his craft. Greatly admired throughout Paris, he is renowned for his works of exquisite and matchless beauty. So much so, that it seems the desire to possess his creations is enough to lead to murder. Composer, writer, and painter E.T.A. Hoffmann is an important figure in the German Romantic movement; he is perhaps best known as the author of
The Nutcracker. With a Foreword by Gilbert Adair.
Customer Reviews:
suspense and personality.......2004-06-03
This is such an elegant suspense thriller full of superbly crafted characters - none of them lack real presence, each one of them - even the minor characters - have a distinct and appealing personality. There are, of course, extravagant events and circumstances. And there is also strangeness in having the King and the Prime Minister as prominent characters too. But how did Hoffmann come up with the idea of an elderly female sleuth so early in the history of mystery stories? And then there is that perceptive observation of human nature in all its bizarreness. The more I read of Hoffmann the more I am in admiration:
recommended other reading:
ETA Hoffmann: Tomcat Murr - this is also a mystery but of an altogether more substantial character - far more fanciful
EA Poe: Mystery Stories - more early investigative and psychological thrillers
Hoffmann's Little Murder Mystery.......2003-05-13
E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was an early exponent of stories imbued with a supernatural twist. His career encompassed several significant endeavors, from music and painting to practicing law. While working in the Prussian civil service, Hoffmann continued to work as a musical instructor. Eventually, he left the service to pursue his first love, working as a music critic, director, and conductor (he changed one of his names to Amadeus in tribute to the famous composer). When Hoffmann realized he would never create great works of music he turned to writing. Within a short time, his short stories gained much attention, eventually influencing later writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, and Robert Louis Stevenson. Tchaikovsky's 'The Nutcracker' is based on one of Hoffmann's stories.
This Hoffmann story issued by Hesperus Press, entitled 'Mademoiselle de Scuderi,' does not contain an overtly supernatural theme. Instead, the reader finds within these pages a cracking good murder mystery set in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV. A knock at the door of the Scuderi residence in the middle of the night serves as the impetus for an investigation into a series of murders occurring within the city limits. The murders involve some of the wealthiest people of the time, and the king himself is eager to find out who is responsible for the crimes. Moreover, the murderer is stealing jewelry from the victims, jewelry made by one of the top craftsmen in the country named Rene Cardillac. This jeweler is one odd duck, a man who possesses a fierce jealously about all of the ornaments he creates. As more and more people fall victim to the unknown killer (or killers), Louis creates a special commission called the `chambre ardente' to investigate this blatant crime spree. Will the people responsible be brought to justice or will the killings continue unabated? What will happen if an innocent man is unjustly accused of the crime?
Enter Mlle. de Scuderi, an aging woman who moves in the top circles of Parisian society. The aforementioned knock on her door brings her into the center of the intrigue. This good lady who writes novels and poetry that even the king enjoys immensely finds herself approached by Olivier Brusson, an apprentice to Cardillac who has a strange story to tell. For Brusson, Mlle. de Scuderi is the only hope he has if he wishes to remain among the living. What seems to be a simple case of murder and greed soon blossoms into a tragic love story that will require the assistance of none other than Louis XIV if it is to survive.
The foreword to this version of the story, written by Gilbert Adair, argues that Hoffmann's little tale of murder constitutes the first detective story in western literature, predating Edgar Allan Poe's `The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by many years. The problem with this claim involves the role of Mlle. de Scuderi. Adair attempts to invest this figure with shrewd deductive powers, even comparing her with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Regrettably, the story does not bear this argument out. Mlle. de Scuderi does little in the way of concrete investigation. Rather, people come to her in order to relate events because of the influence she carries with Louis. More than once she is not even sure who is guilty or innocent. In short, it would seem that Poe's reputation is safe.
Since the story is only eighty-two pages long, further divulgence of plot points or characters will probably ruin the story. If you have any interest in reading Hoffmann's work, buy a collection of his stories so you get more bang for your buck.
