| Summary |
"Journal des Goncourt (Troisième série, premier volume)" by Goncourt and Goncourt is a collection of literary memoirs written in the late 19th century. The book provides an intimate look into the literary life and artistic environment of the authors and their contemporaries, documenting interactions with notable figures in literature and society of the time. With a focus on reflections, social observations, and remarks about the arts, it paints a rich portrait of the cultural climate in France during this period. The opening of this volume begins on January 1, 1885, as the authors describe their New Year in a somewhat melancholic tone, attending a dinner with friends. They continue to explore various aspects of life, politics, art, and literature, discussing the nature of artistic representation and the influence of personal and societal experiences on creativity. Each entry reflects a keen observation and philosophical contemplation, capturing the essence of their era's intellectual discourse while revealing personal anecdotes and emotions associated with their daily lives and those around them.
