En La nariz de un notario nos tropezamos con Alfred L'Ambert, un arrogante y vanidoso notario parisino que se dedica a galantear con bailarinas de opereta y presumir de sus ingresos en las fiestas de la buena sociedad. Un buen día seduce a una jovencita a la que ha pedido en matrimonio otro hombre; ante semejante canallada, se celebra un duelo con sables en el que la mala fortuna querrá que L'Ambert pierda buena parte de su apéndice nasal. De ahí en adelante, las desventuras del notario por recuperar la integridad de su rostro deparan momentos de hilaridad y tragedia a partes iguales.

It was in the Papal States that I studied the Roman Question. I travelled over every part of the country; I conversed with men of all opinions, examined things very closely, and collected my information on the spot. My first impressions, noted down from day to day without any especial object, appeared, with some necessary modifications, in the Moniteur Universel. These notes, truthful, somewhat unconnected, and so thoroughly impartial, that it would be easy to discover in them contradictions and inconsistencies, I was obliged to discontinue, in consequence of the violent outcry of the Pontifical Government. I did more. I threw them in the fire, and wrote a book instead. The present volume is the result of a year's reflection.

On the 3d of July, about six o'clock in the morning, I was watering my flowers. A young man entered the garden. He was blonde, beardless; he wore a German cap and sported gold spectacles. A long, loose woolen coat, or paletot, drooped in a melancholy way around his form, like a sail around a mast in a calm. He wore no gloves; his tan leather shoes had such large soles, that the foot was surrounded by a narrow flange. In the breast-pocket of his paletot, a huge porcelain pipe bulged half-way out. I did not stop to ask myself whether this young man was a student in the German Universities; I put down my watering-pot, and saluted him with: "Guten Morgen!"

Un jeune herboriste frais émoulu de l'Université est envoyé en Grèce par le jardin des Plantes pour un voyage d'études. Logé dans une modeste pension en compagnie des individus les plus divers, il a ouï dire que des bandits sillonnent les routes grecques mais n'imagine pas la palpitante et effrayante aventure où va le mener son amour de la science.En route pour le Parnès à la recherche de plantes rares, il se propose galamment d'accompagner deux Anglaises à cheval, une lady geignarde et sa fille délicate, dont il ne tarde pas à s'éprendre. À peine ont-ils chevauché quelque temps qu'une troupe de brigands leur barre la route. Leur chef n'est autre que le grand Hadgi-Stavros, surnommé le roi des montagnes . Célèbre pour s'être illustré pendant la guerre d'indépendance, mais aussi pour avoir pillé et brûlé des villages entiers, le vieux palicare tutoie les politiciens et fait trembler l'armée. Pris en otage par ces barbares, nos trois Occidentaux ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises. Le prince des brigands, réputé pour sa cruauté, se révèle aussi un hôte courtois et un redoutable homme d'affaires. La vieille lady refusant obstinément de payer la rançon, leur séjour se prolonge. Mû par son amour pour la belle Mary-Ann, le naïf étudiant frôle la mort dans de multiples tentatives d'évasion, jusqu'à un revirement pour le moins inattendu.Ces aventures racontées comme une histoire vécue sont distrayantes par leur caractère échevelé, mais surtout par leur drôlerie: Le ton satirique donne du relief à l'actualité de l'époque, les situations les plus désespérées sont aussi les plus cocasses, et l'on devine la jubilation de l'auteur à manier l'art du bon mot, et à brosser les portraits pittoresques de personnages tout en contradictions.

" Pour un certain nombre d'esprits, qui ne sont pas les moindres entre nous, le printemps ramène un vieux problème toujours nouveau parce qu'il n'est jamais résolu. Les plus honnêtes gens et les meilleurs citoyens, - car il en reste, - éprouvent un sentiment voisin de l'angoisse chaque fois que l'autorité les convie à une exposition des beaux-arts. Où le vulgaire ne voit qu'un spectacle à lorgner, quelques-uns trouvent l'occasion solennelle et obligatoire de dresser un bilan, de voir où nous en sommes, de comparer les pertes et les recrues de l'année, de constater le progrès ou la décadence de l'art français. C'est à ce public limité, mais d'autant plus considérable, que s'adresse la Revue. Nous n'avons pas la prétention de discuter, ou de décrire, ou même d'énumérer toutes les oeuvres passables que la France a produites dans l'espace d'un an; notre but est de déterminer la direction et de mesurer la vitesse des courants qui emportent l'art national vers le mieux ou vers le pire. Ainsi faisait l'illustre et regretté Gustave Planche; nous conserverons de notre mieux la tradition de cette philosophie, que M. Henri Delaborde et M. Maxime Du Camp ont pratiquée après le maître avec un remarquable talent. Celui qui a l'honneur de succéder à ces juges n'est pas nouveau dans la critique d'art; il s'efforcera de prouver qu'il n'y est plus jeune, et qu'il peut apprécier ses contemporains avec indépendance et modération, sans engouement ni camaraderie, mais sans cette âpreté qui distingue les fruits verts de l'esprit humain. Cependant nous ne nous chargeons pas de contenter tout le monde. Si toutes les vérités sont bonnes à dire poliment, toutes ne sont peut-être point agréables à entendre..."

" Ceci n'est ni un pamphlet ni même un livre politique. Si le lecteur y cherchait des considérations générales sur le gouvernement du pape, il serait trompé dans son attente. On a dit pour et contre le pouvoir temporel tout ce qu'il y avait à dire, et je n'ai ni assez d'autorité ni assez de liberté pour résumer les débats. J'ai joué un rôle trop actif, comme accusateur et comme accusé, pour que mon impartialité ne soit pas suspecte. La parole est au président, qui se tait. Il se pourrait d'ailleurs que le temps des discussions fût passé, comme le temps des sages conseils et des réformes utiles. La question romaine est assez bien élucidée pour que les moins clairvoyants distinguent le vrai et pour que les plus hésitants aient pris un parti. Les uns se sont décidés par des raisons de conscience, les autres par des raisons d'intérêt ou de politique; mais il est certain que l'action a succédé à la parole. Le travail que j'offre au public n'est donc pas autre chose qu'une étude littéraire sur les États du pape. J'ai réuni en corps de volume toutes les observations que j'avais notées durant un voyage de six mois. Ces matériaux ont aujourd'hui deux ans de tiroir. Il me semble pourtant qu'ils ont mûri plutôt que vieilli. Rome n'a pas changé sensiblement sous un régime qui se glorifie d'être immuable. Bologne et quelques autres villes n'ont fait que proclamer une révolution qui était accomplie depuis longtemps dans les esprits et dans les moeurs. Le jour où tous les sujets du saint-père auront les mêmes idées, les mêmes moeurs et les mêmes droits que les Bolonais en 1860, mon livre ne sera plus qu'une curiosité archéologique, mais je ne m'en plaindrai pas."

In 'The King of the Mountains,' an enrapturing novel written by Edmond About, readers embark on a gripping journey through the majestic peaks of the Alps, where they are introduced to a cast of intriguing characters and witness the clash of traditionalism and modernity in a remote village. Set in the mid-19th century, the story revolves around the life of a charismatic and enigmatic mountaineer named Matteo Falcone. Known as the King of the Mountains, Matteo embodies the rugged spirit and independence of the Alpine people, who live in harmony with nature and their ancestral customs. The villagers, in awe of his strength and wisdom, regard him as their leader and protector. Through the eyes of various characters, including a young engineer named Arthur, a headstrong village girl named Angele, and the mysterious Matteo himself, the author skillfully explores themes of identity, love, and the inevitable clash between tradition and progress.

"La Question Romaine" est un ouvrage écrit par l'écrivain français Edmond About, publié en 1859. Ce livre est un essai politique qui examine la question du pouvoir temporel du pape et son autorité politique en Italie.À l'époque de la publication de l'ouvrage, l'Italie était encore divisée en plusieurs États indépendants, et la question de l'influence politique du Vatican et du pape en Italie était un sujet brûlant. Edmond About explore cette question avec un ton critique, exposant les problèmes et les conflits liés au pouvoir temporel du pape et à sa souveraineté sur des territoires italiens.L'essai de About offre également une analyse des événements politiques et religieux de l'époque, y compris le rôle du pape Pie IX. L'auteur examine les arguments en faveur et en défaveur du pouvoir temporel du pape, ainsi que les implications pour l'unité et la modernisation de l'Italie."La Question Romaine" a eu un impact significatif sur les discussions politiques de son époque et a contribué à mettre en lumière les problèmes liés au pouvoir du Vatican en Italie. L'ouvrage est considéré comme une ¿uvre importante dans l'histoire de la pensée politique et religieuse en Europe.
