About the author

Genette was largely responsible for the reintroduction of a rhetorical vocabulary into literary criticism, for example such terms as trope and metonymy. Additionally his work on narrative, best known in English through the selection Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method, has been of importance.[2] His major work is the multi-part Figures series, of which Narrative Discourse is a section. His trilogy on textual transcendence, which has also been quite influential, is composed of Introduction à l'architexte (1979), Palimpsests: Literature in the Second Degree (1982), and Paratexts. Thresholds of interpretation (1997).[3]
His international influence is not as great as that of some others identified with structuralism, such as Roland Barthes and Claude Lévi-Strauss; his work is more often included in selections or discussed in secondary works than studied in its own right. Terms and techniques originating in his vocabulary and systems have, however, become widespread, such as the term paratext for prefaces, introductions, illustrations or other material accompanying the text, or hypotext for the sources of the text.

Reviews

[Mohammad Ranjbari · Rating 2 out of 5]

تخیل و بیان کتابی ساختارمند و در عین حال کلیشه ای در باب رایج ترین بحث های معمول در ادبیت و ادبیات.
خوانندۀ متخصص، اگر با هدف منبع قرار دادن این کتاب، آن را مطالعه کند، متوجه خواهد شد که مطلب چندان مهمی دستگیرش نخواهد شد. بر این بیفزایید ترجمۀ گاه نامناسب مطالب، که آن را از کاربردی بودن ساقط می کند. عمدۀ بحث این کتاب در ترسیم حدود تخیل و واقعیت و اشتراکات و تفاوت آنها در ادبیات، و در قالب ها و ژانرهای مختلفی چون شعر، رمان، داستان تخیلی، حکایات و ... است.

Un ouvrage de Genette destiné à ceux qui désirent commencer à étudier dans le domaine de fiction. Pourtant, Univers de la fiction (Pavel,1988) et Pourquoi la fiction? (Schaeffer, 1999) sont beaucoup plus intéressants et efficaces.

Ultimately didn't get anywhere. But took a long, belaboured time doing it.

[Gihan Rady]

This is one of the best books I have ever read, especially in criticism. Gerard Genette is the best to talk about narration. Old style of narration, though. Set of essays vary in content to tell us about narration started from Plato and Aristotle opinions about fiction, poetry and the good poet reaching to the main components of any narration. It also gives a glance to differentiate several types of narrative tense and what is meant by this term. Several examples from famous novels and well-known literary works that Genette has used to elaborate his main ideas about narrator, author and the narrated. I highly recommend this book to any one interested in novels and theories of Narratology.

Largas disertaciones sobre la ficción y no ficción. Genette aborda lo condicional del discurso literario, lo factual, los actos de habla en la literatura y la idea estética del estilo. Una guía de consulta que todo entusiasta y estudiante de teoría literaria debe tener como referencia. Es pesado en su lenguaje, pero también en el valor de su contenido.
