James Gibbons Huneker (January 31, 1857 - February 9, 1921) was an American art, book, music, and theater critic. A colorful individual and an ambitious writer, he was "an American with a great mission," in the words of his friend, the critic Benjamin de Casseres, and that mission was to educate Americans about the best cultural achievements, native and European, of his time. Huneker was born in Philadelphia. Forced by his parents to study law, he knew that a legal career was not what he wanted; he was passionately interested in music and writing, hoping one day to be a concert pianist and a novelist. At twenty-one, he abandoned his office job and Philadelphia ties and (with his pregnant girlfriend, then wife) left for Paris, telling his parents that he was departing only the night before the ship sailed.[1] On a tight budget supplemented with money his parents sent, he studied piano under Leopold Doutreleau in Paris and audited the piano class of Frédéric Chopin's pupil Georges Mathias. He also began a lifelong immersion in European art and literature and was thrilled to catch sight on his wanderings through the city of Victor Hugo, Ivan Turgenev, Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, and Émile Zola as well as Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. That year abroad changed Huneker's life. [more]

L'œuvre is the fourteenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series by Émile Zola. It was first serialized in the periodical Gil Blas beginning in December 1885 before being published in novel form by Charpentier in 1886. The title, translated literally as "The Work" (as in work of art), is often rendered in English as The Masterpiece or His Masterpiece. It refers to the struggles of the protagonist Claude Lantier to paint a great work reflecting his talent and genius. L'œuvre is a fictional account of Zola's friendship with Paul Cézanne and a fairly accurate portrayal of the Parisian art world in the mid 19th century. Zola and Cézanne grew up together in Aix-en-Provence, the model for Zola's Plassans, where Claude Lantier is born and receives his education. Like Cézanne, Claude Lantier is a revolutionary artist whose work is misunderstood by an art-going public hidebound by traditional subjects, techniques and representations. Many of the characteristics ascribed to Claude Lantier are a compound taken from the lives of several impressionist painters including Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, as well as Paul Cézanne. Zola's self-portrait can be seen in the character of the novelist Pierre Sandoz. [more]

Die Brise des Meeres, ein Bistro im Hafen von Ajjaccio, ist der Treffpunkt eines Arms der korsischen Mafia, die sich den Namen der Bar zu eigen macht. An einem regnerischen Oktobermorgen des Jahres 1990 wird die UBS-Filiale in Genf von Mitgliedern dieser Mafia-Bande überfallen. Die Gangster erbeuten mehr als dreißig Millionen Schweizer Franken, drei Gemälde von Manet, Liebermann und Pissaro sowie etliches an Schmuck und Diamanten. Ein Teil der Gemälde wird während einer Auktion veräußert. Die Räuber jedoch verschwinden spurlos. Wenige Jahre später beginnt ein gnadenloser Kampf der Männer um die Beute, den nur Sancarlo, der Kopf der Bande, überlebt. 2010 geht der Marseiller Polizei Columbiani, ein potentieller Überläufer, ins Netz: dieser soll angeworben werden, um Sancarlo zu verhaften. Commissaire Arnoult, der seit Jahren die Ermittlungen zu dem Kunstraub und den verschwundenen Millionen leitet, bietet dem Mafiosi einen Deal an, den Columbiani jedoch ausschlägt. Auf der Fahrt ins Gefängnis wird Columbiani erschossen. Sein Mörder nimmt die Lebensgefährtin Arnoults als Geisel und verschwindet mit ihr in den korsischen Bergen. Commissaire Arnoult ist bei der gnadenlosen Jagd nach Sancarlo und den Geiselnehmern auf sich allein gestellt, denn jeglicher Widerstand gegen die Brise des Meeres führt unweigerlich zum Tod... Der Roman Die Brise des Meeres von Jost Baum (Jahrgang 1954) ist der Auftakt einer Serie von Kriminal-Romanen um Commissaire Arnoult. [more]

James Gibbons Huneker (January 31, 1857 - February 9, 1921) was an American art, book, music, and theater critic. A colorful individual and an ambitious writer, he was "an American with a great mission," in the words of his friend, the critic Benjamin de Casseres, and that mission was to educate Americans about the best cultural achievements, native and European, of his time.Huneker was born in Philadelphia. Forced by his parents to study law, he knew that a legal career was not what he wanted; he was passionately interested in music and writing, hoping one day to be a concert pianist and a novelist. At twenty-one, he abandoned his office job and Philadelphia ties and (with his pregnant girlfriend, then wife) left for Paris, telling his parents that he was departing only the night before the ship sailed.[1] On a tight budget supplemented with money his parents sent, he studied piano under Leopold Doutreleau in Paris and audited the piano class of Frédéric Chopin's pupil Georges Mathias. He also began a lifelong immersion in European art and literature and was thrilled to catch sight on his wanderings through the city of Victor Hugo, Ivan Turgenev, Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, and Émile Zola as well as Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas.[2] That year abroad changed Huneker's life. Huneker and his wife and child returned to Philadelphia the following year, but he was never happy again in his native city and longed for the wider stage of New York, where he hoped to try his luck as a journalist while he continued his study of music. He moved to New York City in 1886, having abandoned his wife and child.[3] There he scraped by, giving piano lessons and living a downtown bohemian life, while he studied with Franz Liszt's student Rafael Joseffy, who became his friend and mentor. (Huneker's musical gods were Liszt, Chopin, and Brahms. He published a biography of Chopin in 1900 and wrote the commentary on Chopin's complete works for Schirmer's music publishing company. His analysis of the piano solo works of Johannes Brahms, written shortly after that composer's complete works were published posthumously, is still highly regarded.) By the 1890s, after finally giving up his dream of a music career for himself, he was working full-time as a freelance critic responsible for covering the music, art, and theater scene of New York. A voracious reader, he also became a prolific and entertaining book reviewer. [more]
