Voyage d'un jeune grec à Paris (Vol. 2 of 2) by Hippolyte Mazier du Heaume
"Voyage d'un jeune grec à Paris (Vol. 2 of 2)" by Hippolyte Mazier du Heaume is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 19th century. The book follows the character Philoménor, a young Greek who travels to Paris, experiencing the culture, arts, and society of France while reflecting on various aspects of his homeland and the changes he observes. The story delves into themes of beauty, artistry, and social critique, focusing
on Philoménor's responses to the conditions he encounters. The opening of the second volume establishes Philoménor's reflections on his experiences at the Théâtre-Français and his observations concerning the restoration of the theater. He critiques the state of the arts in France, lamenting the lack of grandeur and taste in its theaters compared to the expectations set by classical antiquity. Philoménor is particularly moved by the performances he witnesses, merging his admiration for the talent of the actors with his disappointment over the poor presentation of the theater itself. As he savors the performances, he also ruminates on the need for reform in the appreciation and execution of the arts in France, expressing a profound connection to the lineage of theater and its cultural significance.
