Summary "Les Contemporains, Quatrième Série" by Jules Lemaître is a collection of literary studies and portraits written in the late 19th century. The work delves into critical analyses and reflections on key figures of the time, such as Stendhal, Baudelaire, and Mérimée, among others. Each section offers an exploration of these writers' contributions to literature and their unique characteristics as artists, providing insights into their works and their roles within the broader context of the literary movement. The opening of the book introduces the subject of Stendhal and his personal journal, which is portrayed as a mixture of insipid notes and vivid insights into his character and creative process. Lemaître navigates through Stendhal's thoughts, revealing how his journal served as a tool for self-examination and personal development. By analyzing Stendhal's ambitions—both in love and literature—Lemaître sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the author's personality. He remarks on Stendhal’s energy and contrasts it with other literary figures of his time, hinting at the complexities of Stendhal’s character and how his extensive reflections influenced his creative genius. This sets a reflective tone that promises a nuanced contemplation of the literary figures to be discussed throughout the series. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
