Les Pardaillan #5
Pardaillan et Fausta
MICHEL ZÉVACO (1860-1918) journaliste anarchiste et écrivain français, il est avant tout un auteur de romans populaires, dont le plus connu reste la série de cape et d'épée « Les Pardaillan ». Après une courte expérience de professeur à 20 ans, il entre dans l'armée où il reste quatre ans (sous-lieutenant de Dragons en 1886). Libéré de toute obligation militaire en juillet 1886, il s’installe à Paris.
Dès son arrivée à Paris en 1888, il fait la rencontre de Louise Michel et d'Aristide Briand et se fait régulièrement enfermer à la prison Sainte-Pélagie à cause de ses articles libertaires.
En 1900, après avoir tenté de soutenir Dreyfus, il quitte le journalisme politique et retourne au roman-feuilleton. La série « Borgia», publié dans le Journal « La Petite République » de Jean Jaurès, connaît un véritable succès. Zévaco écrit de nombreux autres feuilletons pour ce même journal, avant de passer au « Matin », aux côtés d'un autre feuilletoniste attitré, Gaston Leroux.
Plus de dix volumes des aventures de Pardaillan, Père et Fils, ont été publiés de son vivant et après sa mort, survenue en avril 1918 à Eaubonne.

About the author
Michel Zévaco
469 books150 followersMichel Zevaco (also written as Zévaco) was a French journalist, novelist, publisher, film director, and anti-clerical as well as anarchist activist.
Michel Zevaco founded the anarchist weekly magazine Gueux (French, Beggars) on March 27, 1892. A month later he was jailed for 6 months and fined for praising Pini and Ravachol. Afterwards he wrote for Sébastien Faure's journal, Libertaire, as well as for the anarchist newspaper La Renaissance. In 1898, he edited l'Anticlérical, for the Anticlerical League of France and was involved in supporting Alfred Dreyfus during the eponymous Dreyfus Affair.
Zevaco's famous cloak and dagger novels Les Pardaillan, began to be serialized in the daily newspapers in 1900 to great popular success. Yet he is today quite unknown, in spite of the new interest aroused by popular literature.
A former school teacher, then an officer, he became a militant journalist, who wrote for various revolutionary newspapers, of anarchist tendency. He became famous mainly for the part he played in the anti-clerical struggles at the end of the 19th century. Then, as a writer of serial novels, he published works which had a great success in Jean Jaurès' daily La Petite République, and he became appointed serial writer for Le Matin from 1906 to his death.
His already well-established popularity was made even greater by his promising beginnings as a film-director in 1917. His novels first published by Fayard and Tallandier were republished several times and adapted for the screen; the latest paperback edition only gives a mutilated version, and is impaired by many cuts.
He is remembered as the author of Les Pardaillan, Le Capitan, Borgia, Buridan, L'Héroïne, l'Hôtel Saint Pol and Nostradamus, his most famous historical novels, but also published novels related to his times. Some of his serials have not yet been published

Serinin bu cildinde entrikalar iyice düğümlenirken, şövalyemizin mücadelesi "yasal" düzenin çürümüşlüğüne karşı "doğal adalet"i temsil etmeye devam eder. Yoksulların ve zayıfların yanında kılıç sallayan Pardayan, devlet şiddeti karşısında halkın o bastırılmış intikam duygusunun edebi bir dışavurumudur.

"Ea: bogată, suverană, puternică si adulată, dar invinsă, strivită, zdrobită in toate actiunile ei."
"El: sărac, nobil, fără nici un căpătîi, însă victorios prin forţa geniului său inventiv şi prin inima generoasă. Iar apoi, suprema umilinţă: dragostea ei de fecioară orgolioasă, iubirea ei dispreţuită!"

La bonne recette de Pardaillan fonctionne : des dialogues habiles, de la bonté, de la positivité qui fait toujours gagner. Loin d'être une série pour les garçons et les hommes, Les Pardaillan révèle de bonnes et intuitives situation, derrière des mots et des expressions tout autant sonptueuses. Sans oublier l'amour, toujours part noble à chaque instant.

Fausta este prezentă peste tot, atât în acțiuni cât și în gânduri. Ma cam obosește prezența ei acaparatoare și personalitatea ei dublă.
Încep sa îmi pierd interesul.

Honestly I didn't think I read this book and I also like it!Just saw a very rare print of the book and bought on the cheap. But the surprise came when I like it. I think somehow initial prototype version of Hollywood movies and TV series that without any intellectuals tribute i like it!

Kötülükler ve entrika kraliçesi Catherine de Medicis ve Baba Pardayan olmasa da bu cilt de güzeldi. Fausta karakteri yeni bir soluk olmuş adeta. Bakalım Şövalyemiz bu sefer nasıl kurtulacak?
