An Age of Fiction: the French Novel from Gide to Camus
edited by Germaine Bree & Margaret Guiton
hardcover in good used condition
"An Age of Fiction is a definitive literary survey tracing the evolution of French fiction through two world wars. It situates over twenty major writers—starting with André Gide’s pioneering modernism and concluding with Albert Camus’s existential reflections—within their cultural and philosophical contexts. The book examines how novelists broke from traditional narrative forms to explore themes of authenticity, self‑awareness, moral conflict, and the human condition. Brée and Guiton delve into stylistic innovations like Gide’s autobiographical “récits,” Aymé’s earthy provincial realism, and Camus’s lean, image‑driven prose, showing how each author redefined the role of fiction in a century marked by upheaval."
