Résumé
"Les Contemporains, 5ème Série" by Jules Lemaître is a collection of literary essays written in the late 19th century. This work delves into studies and portraits of notable contemporary writers of the time, including Guy de Maupassant and André Theuriet. It presents insightful reflections on their works, styles, and significance, effectively painting a picture of the literary landscape during that period. The opening of this literary collection introduces various key figures, beginning with an account of the author's impression of Maupassant upon reading his work for the first time. Lemaître narrates his encounters with Maupassant and his initial reluctance to recognize the younger writer's brilliance. Through anecdotes and critical analysis, Lemaître sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Maupassant's themes, particularly the naturalistic elements of his storytelling and his raw portrayals of love and suffering. By juxtaposing Maupassant's narrative style and philosophical outlook with those of his contemporaries, the author lays the groundwork for an understanding of the era's literary currents and the complexities of its leading voices.
