Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was fortunate to have a large number of readers: duchesses, countesses and ladies of the world and of the literary and artistic salons of aristocratic Paris. In “Les Confessions”, he tells the story of the princess (Madame de Talmont). ) receive the publication of his novel (Julie) and read it For the novel = in one breath = as they say (.. the book was published on the first day of the carnival, so he brought it to the Princess of Talmont, the traveling bookseller, and it was the day of a ball for the evenings of the opera, when she was having dinner, she called someone to dress her and prepare her for the dancing evening. as she left, she began to read the new novel, and in the middle of the night she ordered her horses to be prepared, then she continued reading, and she was told that the horses were prepared, and she did not respond at all. , until the servants saw that she had lost her mind, they came to warn her that it was two o’clock in the morning, so she said: “There is no more need.” She started reading again, then she got up and knocked to ask. “What time it was. She was told it was four o’clock, so she said, “If we are in.” late to the party, they stop driving, so she called the one who left her, so she skinned what. » The rest of the night, she read.
Not only was Rousseau blessed with a high class of female readers who preferred reading books at parties, but he also made a fortune from his books. The publishers gave him 1,000 francs for the manuscript and he accumulated tens of thousands of francs.
I came back to this extract from the confessions of the author of the “Social Contract” and I had in mind: What are women writing in Paris today and what are they reading?… Indeed, in many countries of the world where books are printed today by the millions, and there are transcontinental companies in the book industry, and even more fierce marketing and distribution companies, but the stage is missing an evening of opera and a woman who cancels all her extravagant dates and devotes herself to reading until she makes it. close the book.
It appeared in the West at a time of what we could call (the novel cycles)… the wave of the floral novel, as the European cultural press called it. It is a floral novel because it is full of sensual adventures and full of adventure. Then later waves appeared, also known to the Arab reader: the detective novel, the detective novel, the detective novel and, in general, the violent novel.
