"A Bittersweet Farewell: Honore De Balzac's 'Adieu'"

Honore De Balzac's "Adieu" is a poignant novella that delves into the complexities of human relationships, the passage of time, and the inevitability of loss. Set in France during the early 19th century, this emotionally charged tale follows the lives of two childhood friends, Emile Blondet and Paul de Manerville, as they navigate the trials and tribulations of love, ambition, and societal expectations.

At the heart of "Adieu" is the theme of friendship, as Balzac explores the enduring bond between Emile and Paul. Despite their differing personalities and social backgrounds, the two men share a deep connection that withstands the test of time. However, as they mature and pursue their own paths in life, their friendship is strained by jealousy, betrayal, and the pursuit of romantic love.

Balzac's prose is richly descriptive and evocative, painting a vivid portrait of French society during the tumultuous years following the Napoleonic Wars. Through his characters, he offers a scathing critique of the bourgeois values and materialistic pursuits that dominate the social landscape. Emile and Paul are both emblematic of the era's contradictions, torn between their desire for personal fulfillment and their obligation to uphold societal norms.

The novella's title, "Adieu," serves as a poignant reminder of the transience of human existence and the inevitability of parting ways. As Emile and Paul grapple with their own mortality and the passing of time, they are forced to confront the fragility of their relationships and the fleeting nature of happiness. Balzac captures the essence of this existential dilemma with a keen sense of empathy and insight, leaving readers with a profound sense of introspection and melancholy.

In conclusion, "Adieu" is a masterful work of literature that offers a poignant meditation on friendship, love, and the passage of time. Through his vivid characters and evocative prose, Balzac invites readers to reflect on the universal themes of loss, longing, and the enduring power of human connection. As Emile and Paul bid farewell to their youth and innocence, they remind us that every goodbye is a new beginning, and that true wisdom lies in embracing the fleeting moments of joy and sorrow that define the human experience.

Honore De Balzac's "Adieu" is available in Amazon in paperback 11.99$ and hardcover 17.99$ editions.

4Translation Why literature matters: Sad Tiger, Neige Sinno

Beautifully written in purist prose, Sad Tiger is a vivid account of incest and its consequences. But this book is more than a confessional memoir in which the author lifts the lid on shocking facts without any embroidery. It is an exploration about domination and power; about the promise and the impotence of literature and storytelling as a way to grasp and understand what is inconceivable to…

a Planned Parenthood campaign is controversial

After the distribution of a poster depicting a pregnant man, the association claims to be the subject of “extremely violent” attacks from “far right personalities”. “At Planning, we know that men can also be pregnant“. This little sentence, at the head of a poster representing a couple in which a transgender man is expecting a child, has been the subject of a lively controversy since Friday.…

Education, foster family, ideology... the difficult integration of 200 multi-traumatized 'jihadist children'

Education, foster family, ideology… the difficult integration of 200 multi-traumatized ‘jihadist children’

For decades, Child Welfare Services (ASE) and Juvenile Justice Protection (PJJ) have shouldered a heavy burden: caring for minors returning from Syria. 360578758/AungMyo – stock.adobe.com Story – For six years, French society and the judiciary have learned to stalk these children, many of whom know nothing but Islamic State laws or refugee camps. Protect them at all costs. From the past, from…

Feel free to ignore this if it doesn't spark your interest but worth a shot. Can I ask what breed of dog Jesus was in your dog world?

I think dog Jesus predates most of today's dog breeds. Realistically he'd probably be some kind of mutt, probably with vaguely Canaan dog looks. But European depictions of Jesus have always been very localized, and I tend to think that in Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque art he'd usually appear as a Spaniel of sorts, although it varies from piece to piece. Gun dogs more often than not.

#every society adapts their idea of Christ to fit their needs and culture to some degree right #so maybe in France he's represented by a French breed of dog and in Sweden a Swedish breed and so on #because Jesus is typically depicted as noble and handsome they would end up choosing breeds that have prestige and high status #over those that aren't viewed as favorably #so ironically very few rustic shepherd Jesuses #does that sound sensible?#yes I know #but this is in fact a thing I have to consider for world building purposes #can't have dog Catholicism without dog Jesus #answered #anonymous

dude i fucking love how this server has communication as its premise and built into its fucking core. i fucking love that. bc it's one thing to be like 'this server is about multilingual communication and cultural exchange!!' bc that could present in any NUMBER of ways but like. with the federation and the eggs and a common shared goal they all decided WE ARE A TEAM. and like, ok,

when baghera was sus of jaiden because of the thing when pomme died and jaiden had been the reason baghera left her side for the only time that day, i wasn't even worried. i wasn't worried bc i was like "we just wait. because i know they will TALK TO EACH OTHER." and I WAS RIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER IT WAS ALL CLEARED UP AND BAGHERA WAS HELPING HER OUT WITH CUCURUCHO

and the ordo theoritas is functionally a secret organization. it would be SO EASY to gatekeep the lore, on grounds of "the federation is always watching and anyone could be a spy" and yet the ordo theoritas says that, like bad SAYS THAT, says OUT LOUD, "anyone could be a traitor" and then turns around and goes "hey person i've had a few days' worth of conversations with, here's a detailed rundown of everything we've learned about the island's mysteries, and the secret location of the ordo base". SOFIA was supposed to be secret from everyone, and for a little bit she was. but now like, the ordo theoritas is showing her to everyone. it would be SO EASY to hide things and to gatekeep things but they just. don't do it. here's the supercomputer!!!! don't forget to grab her waystone so you can come back anytime!!!

bad learns something. "i need to tell forever/cellbit/baghera". forever figures out a new way to protect the eggs, and he gets it to everyone within days. cucurucho tries to have a secret conversation and the entire server knows about it almost instantly and there are three people buried in the walls reading the subtitles and giving each other meaningful glances

i love it. i love it. miscommunication plotlines drive me up the fucking wall and the fact that i wasn't even SCARED when jaiden and baghera could easily have angled into an angsty tangled web of that and instead just MET WITH EACH OTHER AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND CLEARED THE AIR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY was so fucking breathtaking. and this is a multilingual server. this is a MULTILINGUAL SERVER. i love it. i love it so much i want to cry. it's a server for communication and people Communicate, it would have been SO EASY to slip into monolingual factions and stick to the familiar but they DIDN'T. they DIDN'T. WE GET TO HAVE A THEORY TABLE WITH SO MANY LANGUAGES SITTING AROUND IT. we get to have conspiracy walls in every language!!!! idk sometimes i forget how fucking CRAZY all this is, like the scale of what they've accomplished

so yea thank you to quackity and the qsmp admins for this, and thank you to the streamers for hearing 'this is about connections' and taking it ENTIRELY to heart, and also thank you to whoever the fuck decided to give quackity's school class the job to look after a fucking egg to learn about parenting. bc holy shit. holy shit.

#qsmp #this is a mess but i keep marvelling at it ever since jaiden's streams #just that. it could have gone to hell. but they TALKED TO EACH OTHER.#and i kept seeing people on tumblr like 'nooo they're dividing them 😭' and i kept thinking in my head:#'it's ok. don't panic. don't worry. they're so good about communicating: roier will say something or jaiden will say something'#'and they'll resolve anything right there and then'#i fucking love it. i fucking love it. there have been cross lingual projects before that didn't breed community like this does #everyone is trying so hard to protect everyone. forever and baghera didn't even trust quackity and they were still trying to protect him #i can't express how much this silly fucking server means to me. i can't explain it #its so good. its so good. i love it so much i swear to god #like i promise you if some of the less active members were to step back online and ask about the lore #they'd get a FULL fuckin rundown of it even though the ordo theoritas is technically a secret society #just immediately #i love it. there may be gaslighting and girlbossing but there is NO gatekeeping #unless we count the french exp farm lmfao #idk idk idk!!!!! it means so much to me i swearrrrrrr #THEY'RE A TEAM YOUR HONOR. THEY!! ARE!!! A TEAM!!!#shut up vic #block game brainrot

Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth.

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau

One reason why a couple of my American male work colleagues left America for Europe because they were annoyed by young college educated women dropping their authentic regional accents (some are even melodic to listen to) for this all too pervasive annoying nasal whine. This is not cool. Just super grating on the nerves.
