Bainville, Jacques 1879-1936 creator text utu 2024 monographic fr 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Filiations" by Jacques Bainville is a collection of philosophical dialogues and narrative tales written during the early 20th century. The book explores themes of familial lineage, societal changes, and various philosophical ideas intertwined with the historical context of France. Through a series of vignettes, it reflects on the evolution of a single family across generations. The narrative is primarily centered around the Gobemouche family, tracing their journey from humble beginnings as craftsmen to their eventual rise and fall through different historical epochs marked by revolutions and wars. The stories illustrate the family's inherent credulity, highlighting the irony of their beliefs and decisions, which lead to both triumphs and tragedies. Key characters include a naive tisserand, his son who engages in the philosophical social movements of his time, and descendants who grapple with the consequences of their heritage. The backdrop of historical events, such as the French Revolution and World War conflicts, adds depth to the family's saga, bringing forth a critique of broader societal ideologies and human folly.
