Alexander Dumas Dictionary Of Cuisine by Dumas Pdf

First published in 2005. A cookery book by the author of The Three Muskateers and The Count of Monte Cristo may seen an improbability. Yet Alexandre Dumas was an expert cook- his love of food was said to be equalled only by his love of women - and his Great Dictionary of Cuisine, written to be read by worldly people and used by professionals and published posthumously in 1873, it is a masterpiece in its own right. This abridged version of the Dictionary is designed to be both useful and entertaining. A glance at the Index will show that there are hundreds of recipes - for sauces, soups, meat, fish, eggs, poultry and game - not all kitchen-tested with modern ingredients, but well within the scope of an experienced and imaginative cook.

Dictionnaire amoureux de Alexandre Dumas by Alain Decaux Pdf

Fanfaron, hâbleur, aventurier, dispendieux, romantique, truculent sont les maîtres mots qui qualifient ce personnage hors normes, de ce dictionnaire aussi, qui le restitue dans toute sa diversité. Le décret qui, en 2002, a décidé de la dernière demeure d'Alexandre Dumas ? le Panthéon ? est à lui seul un résumé savoureux de sa vie : " Par ce geste, la République donnera toute sa place à l'un de ses enfants les plus turbulents et les plus talentueux, à l'un de ses génies les plus féconds. " Ses débuts nous laissent incrédules. À vingt-six ans, la Comédie-Française reçoit sa première pièce, qui plus est par des acclamations. Qui d'autre, après avoir dans son enfance connu la misère, a pu se constituer, par ses droits d'auteur, une immense fortune pour finir sans un sou ? Par son théâtre et surtout par ses romans, Alexandre a fait de lui-même un géant et du passé une épopée. A.D Alain Decaux est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages historiques. Il s'est exprimé également à la télévision (Alain Decaux raconte) et à la radio (La Tribune de l'Histoire). On a souvent dit de lui qu'il " avait fait aimer l'Histoire aux Français ".

Alexandre Dumas as a French Symbol since 1870 by Eric Martone Pdf

Nineteenth-century writer Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, has been a controversial part of the French patrimony, and faced various forms of racial prejudice in France because of his biracial ancestry and due to being a descendant of a slave. During the late nineteenth century, the rise of scientific racism and aggressive European imperialism resulted in worldviews supporting European superiority and equated “European” with being “white.” Such developments complicated perceptions of Dumas as part of the French patrimony. French intellectuals and politicians from the late nineteenth-century onward created their own imaginative visions of what Dumas had represented in order to employ them ideologically to support or counter prevailing mainstream views of French history and identity. This collection traces the evolution of Dumas’s legacy as a controversial symbol of France since 1870, as the nation has struggled to deal with colonialism and its aftermath, and increased diversity and globalization.

The Sounds of Paris in Verdi's La traviata by Emilio Sala Pdf

How did Paris and its musical landscape influence Verdi's La traviata? In this book, Emilio Sala re-examines La traviata in the cultural context of the French capital in the mid-nineteenth century. Verdi arrived in Paris in 1847 and stayed for almost two years: there, he began his relationship with Giuseppina Strepponi and assiduously attended performances at the popular theatres, whose plays made frequent use of incidental music to intensify emotion and render certain dramatic moments memorable to the audience. It is in one of these popular theatres that Verdi probably witnessed one of the first performances of Dumas fils' La Dame aux camélias, which became hugely successful in 1852. Making use of primary source material, including unpublished musical works, journal articles and rare documents and images, Sala's close examination of the incidental music of La Dame aux camélias - and its musical context - offers an invaluable interpretation of La traviata's modernity.

Choice Cuts by Mark Kurlansky Pdf

“Every once in awhile a writer of particular skills takes a fresh, seemingly improbable idea and turns out a book of pure delight.” That’s how David McCullough described Mark Kurlansky’s Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World, a work that revealed how a meal can be as important as it is edible. Salt: A World History, its successor, did the same for a seasoning, and confirmed Kurlansky as one of our most erudite and entertaining food authors. Now, the winner of the James Beard Award for Excellence in Food Writing shares a varied selection of “choice cuts” by others, as he leads us on a mouthwatering culinary tour around the world and through history and culture from the fifth century B.C. to the present day. Choice Cuts features more than two hundred pieces, from Cato to Cab Calloway. Here are essays by Plato on the art of cooking . . . Pablo Neruda on french fries . . . Alice B. Toklas on killing a carp . . . M. F. K. Fisher on the virility of Turkish desserts . . . Alexandre Dumas on coffee . . . W. H. Auden on Icelandic food . . . Elizabeth David on the downward march of English pizza . . . Claude Lévi-Strauss on “the idea of rotten” . . . James Beard on scrambled eggs . . . Balzac, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Chekhov, and many other famous gourmands and gourmets, accomplished cooks, or just plain ravenous writers on the passions of cuisine.
