New books from the Bibliothèques francophones (Classiques Garnier)

First purchased in 2021, and expanded last year with the volume Ducharme et Rimbaud: L’océan de la beauté, the Classiques Garnier’s collection Bibliothèques francophones has now been further augmented by the following two volumes:

  • Fritz Peter Kirsch, Sur les francophonies et leurs littératures: Approches interculturelles
    «Based on an analysis of literary texts, this essay explores the historical phenomena that, from the Middle Ages to the present day, have led to the predominance of France, its language, and its culture. The relationship between French and Occitan culture is closely examined».

  • Dima Samaha, Le Pays envolé: Romans libanais de l’émigration (1998-2012)
    «The first comparative study of novels published between 1998 and 2012, in English and in French, by Lebanese writers who emigrated after the start of the civil war, this essay explores the narrative strategies and historiographical processes involved in a permanent questioning of filiation».
