Excerpt from A Bas le Progres!: Bouffonnerie Satirique, en un Acte
En cette heure d'engouement de la France pour la littérature étrangère, en cette latrie des jeunes écrivains dramatiques pour le théâtre scandinave, dans cette disposition des esprits contemporains à se montrer les domestiques littéraires de Tolst01 et d'lbsen, d'écrivains dont je suis loin de contester le mérite, mais dont les qualités me semblent ne pouvoir être acclimatées sous le degré de latitude où nous vivons, j'ai tenté de réagir, et de faire dans une piece, qui sera suivie d'autres, de faire, autant qu'il était en mon pouvoir, une oeuvre dramatique ayant les qualités françaises la clarté, l'esprit, l'ironie, l'ironie blagueuse de cette fin de 51ecle, et peut-être de cette fin de monde.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a satirical one-act play written in 1892 in response to Franceâs infatuation with foreign literature and the prevailing belief that Scandinavian authors were superior to their French counterparts. The author, a painter of the Romantic period, felt the influence of foreign literature was detrimental and that homegrown authors were every bit as good, if not better, than their foreign counterparts. The main characters are a father, his daughter, and a thief, who engages in a clever battle of wits with the father after having broken into their home to rob them. The thief critiques the aesthetics of the fatherâs art collection as well as the daughterâs bohemian appearance. As the conversation progresses, the thief reveals his pessimistic views on the state of the modern world and its decline in values and quality. The play concludes with the thiefâs promise to return and make an honest man of himself. This witty and engaging dramatic work provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and intellectual landscape of late 19th-century France.
