Women in Progress (#1-3) by Victor Margueritte
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 330 KB
Overview: Victor Margueritte (1866 – 1942) and his brother Paul Margueritte, (1860 – 1918), French novelists, both born in Algeria, were the sons of General Jean Auguste Margueritte (1823 – 1870), who after an honorable career in Algeria was mortally wounded in the great cavalry charge at Sedan, and died in Belgium, on September 6, 1870. An account of his life was published by Paul Margueritte as Mon père (1884; enlarged ed., 1897). The names of the two brothers are generally associated, on account of their collaboration.
Paul Margueritte, who has given a picture of his home in Algiers in Le Jardin du passé (1895), was sent to the Prytanée National Militaire for the sons of officers. In 1880, he became a clerk to the minister of public instruction.
Victor Margueritte designed two pantomimes, Pierrot assassin de sa femme (Théatre Libre, 1882) and Colombine pardonnée (Cercle funambulesque, 1888). His novel La Garçonne (1922) was considered so shocking it caused the author to lose his Légion d'honneur.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics
The Bacheloress (Women in Progress Book 1) by Victor Margueritte, Brian Stableford (Translator)
Not content with execrating those he knew to have enjoyed Monique, he wanted to know the names of all the others who had possessed her flesh before him. No matter how much he felt that he was its master, he could not tolerate that it had quivered beneath so many mouths before his.
Monique is an emancipated French woman who leaves home to escape a marriage of convenience to a man whom her parents have forced on her. She then succumbs to all sorts of carnal temptations including a lesbian love affair with a singer. The scandal provoked by Victor Margueritte's La Garçonne (1922), here translated as The Bacheloress, led to its author having his légion d'honneur revoked, which only propelled this novel about a brazenly independent "new woman" to best-seller status. What was shocking then was not so much the reckless behavior of its heroine, who is depicted as the victim of psychological torment, but the portrait of the corrupt post-WWI society in which she lives. Authentic as Monique is, the types of love she encounters, set against the hostile and contemptuous portrayal of her peers, only amplifies her struggle. La Garçonne was translated in the U.S. in 1923 as The Bachelor Girl in a bowdlerized edition, since the passages describing various sexual acts that had caused offence in Paris could not be reproduced in America, so the present edition is the first unexpurgated English-language edition. The story was filmed four times, in 1923, 1936 (with Marie Bell and Edith Piaf), 1957 and again in 1988.
The Companion (Women in Progress Book 2)
Annik gazed, dazedly, at the glazed door to the back room in which she had been born. An insipid odor had grabbed her by the throat: the taste of death that everything here exhaled, including the fat man with the cleaver stuck in his belt, whose belly swelled an apron stained with dark patches.
The Companion (1923) by Victor Margueritte is the second novel in the trilogy that begins with his 1922 controversial best-seller, The Bacheloress, and concludes with The Couple (1924). In contrast to the victimized Monique Lerbier, heroine of The Bacheloress, who appears in this novel in a supporting role, Annik Raimber is, a staunch proto-feminist with unwavering integrity, who never comprises her principles. When confronted with marriage and a family, professional success, and security, but at the price of, alternately, subordination and subjugation, Annik resists, maintaining her optimism that she is on the right path toward self-fulfillment. But does her brand of fulfillment exist in a world of entrenched ideology? The Companion is an exploration of both feminist self-direction and, more generally, the boundary between individuality and the pervading social norms. As its author, Margueritte, writes: "A logical consequence of my study of feminine mores, Le Compagnon claims, in fact, and loudly, the right to say everything, in accordance with the honest naturalist method
The Couple (Women in Progress Book 3)
You are one of those who believes in fortifying peace by preparing for war -- a tragic illusion, moreover; it is the disarmament of chauvinistic passions, not the eternal race to ruin and death, that can lay the foundation of peace.
The Couple (1924) is the concluding volume in Victor Margueritte's trilogy, following The Bacheloress (1922) and The Companion (1923). It features both of the couples formed in the course of the earlier novels-Monique Lerbier and George Blanchet, and Annik Raimbert and Amédée Jacquemin, respectfully-but focuses primarily on their children and the broad social implications of an international socialist revolution attempting to overturn the depredations of capitalism. In The Couple, which is set in the near-future, Margueritte skillfully orchestrates a tangle of frustrated relationships in a way that allows the hope of security, freedom, and love to be transferred to outcomes of politics and war. The heightened sense of anxiety about the future, amid uprisings and political coups, picks up momentum toward a confused and conspiratorial rush to a war that is "nothing but a financial game, in which every proletarian cadaver consolidates the bourgeois strong-box!" But the central question remains: Where is the place for unique forms of love, the focus of this trilogy, in a world antagonistic to non-orthodox human solidarities?
