Résumé

Résumé : "Farina" by George Meredith is a romantic and adventurous tale set in medieval Cologne, revolving around the young hero Farina and his love for Margarita, the daughter of the wealthy merchant Gottlieb Groschen. The narrative begins with a vivid depiction of Cologne's society, where Margarita is celebrated as the "White Rose of Germany," admired by many young men who form the White Rose Club in her honor. Farina, however, stands apart from the club, choosing to express his devotion in his own way. The story takes a dramatic turn when Margarita is threatened by the notorious robber Baron Werner and his men. 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 valor not only wins Margarita's heart but also sets Farina on a path to prove his worthiness for her love. The narrative explores themes of chivalry, love, and the quest for honor, as Farina seeks to rise above his humble status to win Margarita's hand. The story is rich with medieval imagery and the cultural dynamics of the time, highlighting the tension between the nobility and the common folk, as well as the power of love to transcend social barriers. Meredith's tale is a blend of romance, adventure, and social commentary, capturing the essence of youthful passion and the timeless struggle for personal and social redemption.
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.
