Résumé

Résumé : "Farina" by George Meredith is a romantic and adventurous tale set in medieval Cologne, revolving around the young protagonist, Farina, and his love for the beautiful Margarita, known as the White Rose of Germany. The story begins with a vivid depiction of Cologne's society, where Margarita is adored by many young men who form the White Rose Club, engaging in chivalric acts to win her favor. Farina, however, stands apart, not participating in their antics but deeply in love with Margarita. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when Margarita is threatened by the notorious Baron Werner and his band of ruffians. Farina, with the help of a mysterious stranger, bravely rescues her, earning her gratitude and a token of her affection—a silver arrow. This act of heroism not only wins Margarita's heart but also sets Farina on a path to prove his worthiness for her love. The story explores themes of love, honor, and the quest for social elevation, as Farina seeks to gain wealth and status to win Margarita's hand. The backdrop of medieval Cologne, with its vivid descriptions of the city's customs and the looming presence of the Kaiser, adds depth to the narrative. Meredith's tale is a blend of romance, adventure, and social commentary, highlighting the challenges of love and the pursuit of honor in a world governed by social hierarchies and chivalric ideals.
Biographie : George Meredith OM (12 February 1828 - 18 May 1909) was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but he gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles. Of his later novels, the most enduring is The Egoist (1879), though in his lifetime his greatest success was Diana of the Crossways (1885). His novels were innovative in their attention to characters' psychology, and also took a close interest in social change. His style, in both poetry and prose, was noted for its syntactic complexity; Oscar Wilde likened it to chaos illumined by brilliant flashes of lightning. He was an encourager of other novelists, as well as an influence on them; among those to benefit were Rrt Louis Stevenson and George Gissing. He was nominated for the Nl Prize in Literature seven times.
