Ce livre unique comprend une biographie d???taill???e de Edmond ABOUT(1828-1884) mais aussi une de ces oeuvres: " Germaine," avec un r???sum??? .(annot??? et illustr???) l'Auteur: Edmond Fran???ois Valentin About est n??? le 14 f???vrier 1828 ??? Dieuze. Fils d'???picier, il fait ses ???tudes au petit s???minaire, puis entre au lyc???e Charlemagne o??? il devient un ???l???ve brillant et remporte le prix d'honneur de philosophie au Concours g???n???ral. Il entre ensuite ??? l'???cole normale sup???rieure en 1848 et est re???u premier ??? l'agr???gation de lettres de 1851 .Edmond About est ???galement un critique d'art acerbe, tr???s dispos??? ??? railler les peintres d'avant-garde. Ses comptes rendus de Salon en 1855 et 1857, d'une savoureuse verve comique, ???reintent notamment les pr???tentions du r???alisme de Gustave Courbet et appellent ??? la prudence face ??? ce qu'il consid???re comme une br???che ouverte ??? l'anarchie dans l'art. Il fonda alors Le 19???me si???cle dont il devient r???dacteur en chef .Edmond About est aussi un auteur comique tant il sait manier la satire. Il conna???t la c???l???brit??? gr???ce ??? ses nouvelles au style vif, clair et concis, et ??? ses romans qui ???voquent des situations imaginaires, souvent inspir???es par les progr???s de la science. Mariages de Paris (1856), Le Roi des montagnes (1857), L'Homme ??? l'oreille cass???e (1862) ou Les Mariages de province (1868) sont autant de succ???s d'???dition .???lu le 24 janvier 1884 membre de l'Acad???mie fran???aise, il meurt moins d'un an plus tard, peu de temps avant le jour pr???vu pour sa r???ception, ??? l'???ge de cinquante-six ans. Le roman Le 1er janvier 1853, les domestiques de l'h???tel de Sangli??? ??? Paris voient la duchesse Mlle Germaine, malade et dont le p???re est ruin???, aller vendre sa bague au mont-de-pi???t???. Mme de Chermidy lui fait ???pouser Don Diego pour l'argent. Ils vont en Italie o??? Germaine se refait une sant???. Extrait: Le 1er janvier 1853, vers les neuf heures du matin, tous les domestiques de l'h???tel tenaient sous le vestibule un congr???s tumultueux. L'intendant du baron, M. Anatole, venait de leur distribuer leurs ???trennes. Le ma???tre d'h???tel avait re???u cinq cents francs, le valet de chambre deux cent cinquante. Le moins favoris??? de tous, le marmiton, contemplait avec une tendresse inexprimable deux beaux louis d'or tout neufs. Il y avait des jaloux dans l'assembl???e, mais pas un m???content, et chacun disait en son langage que c'est plaisir de servir un ma???tre riche et g???n???reux. Ces messieurs formaient un groupe assez pittoresque autour d'une des bouches du calorif???re. Les plus matineux avaient d???j??? la grande livr???e; les autres portaient encore le gilet ??? manches, qui est la petite tenue des domestiques. Le valet de chambre ???tait tout de noir habill???, avec des chaussons de lisi???re; le jardinier ressemblait ??? un villageois endimanch???; le cocher ???tait en veste de tricot et en chapeau galonn???; le suisse, en baudrier d'or et en sabots. On apercevait ?????? et l???, le long des murs, un fouet, une ???trille, un b???ton ??? cirer, une t???te de loup, et des plumeaux dont je ne sais pas le nombre.Le ma???tre dormait jusqu'??? midi, en homme qui a pass??? la nuit au club: on avait bien le temps de se mettre ??? l'ouvrage. Chacun faisait d'avance
