“Renard, Jules”的意思、由来-百科全书

Renard, Jules

French author

born Feb. 22, 1864, Châlons-sur-Mayenne, Fr.

died May 22, 1910, Paris

French writer best known for Poil de carotte (1894; Carrots, 1946), a bitterly ironical account of his own childhood, in which a grim humour conceals acute sensibility. All his life, although happily married and the father of two children, Renard was haunted by and tried to hide the misery he had suffered as a child from lack of affection. His prose, stripped of superfluous words, influenced later French writers who found in it a corrective to the indiscriminate accretion of detail that was a tendency of the Naturalists who preceded him.

Renard was educated at Nevers and in Paris. After his marriage in 1888, he devoted himself to writing. Above all an artist (he described himself as a “hunter of images”), he used acutely observed detail in his descriptive writing. His sketches of animal life in Histoires naturelles (1896) are models of their kind. Although he spent most of his life in Paris, he never lost touch with his native countryside; and in Les Philippe (1907), Nos frères farouches, and Ragotte (both 1908), he depicted rural life with amused penetration and cruel realism. He also wrote plays, including a dramatized version of Poil de carotte (1900). He was a founder member of the Mercure de France (1890) and was elected to the Académie Goncourt (1907). His Journal, in 17 volumes (1925–27), was translated into English in 1964.
