BOULE DE SUIF (PT 2) by GUY DE MAUPASSANT
10/04/2022 Duración: 48minIn part two the travelers are growing more and more resentful of Boule de Suif as she continues to say no to the German officer- and they concoct devious ways to try to convince her that it is her patriotic duty to give in. Featured here: "La Marseilles" (near end), is the National Anthem of France. the song was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Roget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of of war by France against Austria and was and is considered a patriotic war song. You might remember in Casablanca (at 1001 Heroes) in Rick's Bar, as the Germans began to sing their patriotic song, the free French in the bar countered with La Marseilles.

BOULE DE SUIF (PT. 1) by GUY de MAUPASSANT
03/04/2022 Duración: 43minFirst published in April of 1880, "Boule de Suif" is one of Maupassant's most famous and important stories. The term 'Boule de Suif' is most often translated as "Dumpling" or "Ball of Lard". The use of this no longer acceptable term for bigness was prevalent in those days and society's upper crust felt no guilt in using it in the presence of persons they thought of as coming from a lower class. In this story a carriage load of persons escaping the German occupation of their city of Rouen, France are traveling to Havre where they believe their French countrymen are still in control.. The division of classes evident throughout the trip allows Maupassant to hand a stinging rebuke to the ills of French society at the time, as one of the passengers, a courtesan, meaning a prostitute, is nicknamed 'Boule de Suif'. She, having thought to bring the only food, suddenly becomes popular when the trip bogs down into a 15 hour journey..

THE STRENGTH OF THE STRONG by JACK LONDON
21/11/2021 Duración: 35minThe Strength of the Strong is a short story allegory meant to complement London's upcoming 1912 book "The Scarlet Plague", in which a plague in 2012 depopulates the planet and a survivor of that plague tries to impart wisdom to his grandsons in order that they can survive in the years following the plague. We are considering this now for 1001 Stories for the Road. Its a fascinating tale and one which draws many similarities to our current NIH-Wuhan plague. Todays short story "The Strength of the Strong" uses a grandfather in a primitive tribe trying to describe to his grandsons how the only way they can survive in the future is to band together and not have an 'every man for himself' attitude.

THE MAN IN THE CASE by ANTON CHEKHOV
05/09/2021 Duración: 35minChekhov's 1898 story "The Man In A Case", like many of his stories, was a comment on the social and political atmosphere prevalent in Russia at the time, and for that he was criticized often. This story was the first part of what has become known as "The Little Trilogy", along with "Gooseberries" (coming next week) and "About Love" (now in our archives ). Interestingly enough, a statue of the main character, Belikov, clad in galoshes and carrying an umbrella, stands next to the Chekhov gymnasium in Taganrog, Russia, in Chekhov's honor. Belikov was based upon a real character A.F. Dyakanov, who was the inspector for that city's gymnasium during the years Chekov wrote. He wrote the story while he lived in Paris.
