Summary "Journal des Goncourt (Deuxième série, troisième volume)" by Edmond de Goncourt is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a literary journal chronicling the author’s reflections and observations about life, society, and the literary scene of his time. Goncourt shares his thoughts on various figures in the literary world, including himself and his contemporaries, detailing events, conversations, and social dynamics. The opening of this volume sets a reflective tone as Goncourt addresses the passage of time and the quest for truth in literature. He acknowledges the animosity he has faced over his pursuit of honesty in writing, recognizing that both agreeable and disagreeable truths shape his experiences with people he has encountered. The text transitions into a series of entries from January 1878, where he describes personal struggles with health and connects with prominent literary figures at social gatherings. Goncourt’s keen observations about dinner parties, the personalities of his contemporaries, and the nature of art and society draw readers into a vivid panorama of 19th-century literary life.
