Le gentil petit diable et autres contes de la rue Broca
Écoutez bien Monsieur Pierre : il va raconter aux enfants de Papa Saïd des histoires très, très vraies et très, très sérieuses. Celle du petit diable qui faisait le désespoir de sa famille parce qu'il voulait être gentil. Celle de l'avare qui aimait tant son argent qu'il ne s'apercevait même pas qu'il était mort. Celle du prince qui épousa la sirène, celle du petit cochon qui avala l'étoile polaire, et celle enfin du jeune nigaud qui alla chercher « je ne sais quoi », le rapporta, le partagea et rendit tout le monde heureux.

THAT WASSS AMAZING🥰 I know nobody asked for it but here's my ranking of the 6 stories:
1. Le petit cochon futé
2. Roman d'amour d'une patate
3. Je-ne-sais-qui, Je-ne-sais-quoi
4. Le prince Blub et la sirène
5. La maison de l'oncle Pierre
6. Le gentil petit diable
It's funny that the name of the book is that of the story I liked the less, but I'll just ignore it.
Also, this is the first book in French I've read this year, and I'm glad to say I've improved a looot. I hope to reach my goal of reading at least other 2. 👍❤️

Commentary on each story to come.
These do build on one another leading up to the end. It’s very clever the way they are stacked so he sure to read them in order!

Cette critique prend également en compte le livre : La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard et autres contes de la rue Broca
La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard et autres contes de la rue Broca ainsi que Le gentil petit diable et autres contes de la rue Broca regroupent à eux deux, quatorze contes aussi originaux que divertissants. La particularité de ces contes est qu'ils ne sont pas entièrement de la plume de l'auteur, mais proviennent de l'imagination des enfants. En effet, la préface de ces livres nous indique que l'auteur se rendait régulièrement dans la rue Broca et y racontait des histoires aux enfants qui jouaient là-bas. Au bout d'un an, il n'eut plus de contes à leur offrir, alors il leur proposa d'inventer eux-même de nouvelles histoires. Ainsi, Les Contes de la rue Broca ont été improvisés, chacun y mettant du sien. Une bien belle manière d'écrire un conte avec une vraie notion de partage ainsi qu'un retour aux sources, puisqu'ils étaient oraux avant d'être couché sur le papier.
La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard ; Le géant aux chaussettes rouges ; La paire de chaussures ; Scoubidou, la poupée qui sait tout ; Histoire de Lustucru ; La fée du robinet ; La sorcière du placard aux balais ; Le gentil petit diable ;Roman d’amour d’une patate ; La maison de l’oncle Pierre ; Le prince Blub et la sirène ; Le petit cochon futé >; Je-ne-sais-qui, je-ne-sais-quoi ; voilà tous les contes présents dans ces recueils. Il serait difficile de parler de chaque histoire en détail, d'autant qu'elles sont assez courtes, aussi vais-je plutôt en parler de façon globale pour ne pas dévoiler trop d'éléments, et pour revenir sur un aspect plus technique.
L'origine de ces contes est parfaitement visible. En effet, contrairement à Perrault, Grimm ou Andersen, dont les histoires demeurent sombres avec des destins peu enviables, Gripari nous livre un recueil plutôt léger où l'on ne trouve pas forcément de morale quelconque. Ces contes ne sont donc pas fait pour enseigner, mais pour s'amuser avant tout.
Cependant, certains récits possèdent tout de même une once de poésie, en particulier Le petit cochon futé qui réinvente la genèse, mais on peut citer également La maison de l'oncle Pierre qui nous offre une très belle métaphore du cycle de la vie lorsque l'oncle réalise son état. Il y a également de belles leçons de vie comme dans le conte Je-ne-sais-qui, je-ne-sais-quoi, ou encore dans La paire de chaussures, faisant prendre conscience de l'importance de la bonté et de l'amour. D'autres nous indiquent que chacun peut prendre en main son existence comme il l'entend, même si cela va à l'encontre de l'opinion générale tel Le gentil petit diable. Malgré cela, il y a fort à parier que ces intentions ne sont pas exposées volontairement mais il est plutôt probable que l'imagination des enfants amena ces derniers à réfléchir sur ce qui est juste ou non, incluant ainsi certains évènements dictés par leur logique.
Par ailleurs, plusieurs contes restent bien fantaisistes et basés sur l'humour. C'est donc avec plaisir que nous découvrons par exemple la véritable histoire du Lustucru de la célèbre chanson ou bien qu'il ne faut pas prononcer "Sorcière, sorcière, prends garde à ton derrière" si une sorcière habite votre placard à balai. On y apprend même qu'en composant le "S.V.M." on peut discuter avec la Sainte Vierge Marie ! Les Contes de la rue Broca nous apportent donc une bonne dose de rire, quel que soit notre âge, du moment que nous ayons gardé notre âme d'enfant.

Me fascinaron todas las historias, fue genial poder leer algunos de los cuentos qué le dieron vida a la serie animada. Fantástico!

I found this copy of one of the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read while I was vacationing in France. It's a complete delight, quirky, surprising, with unexpected twists in the plot. The stories are about a little devil who doesn't want to be bad and a fellow who falls in love with a mermaid against his parents' wishes and a potato who asks to be French fries and other equally strangely compelling tales. Pure fun.
A list of the stories included here: The Witch of Rue Mouffetard; The Pair of Shoes; The Giant Who Wore Red Socks; Scoobidoo, the Doll Who Could See Everything; The Story of Lustucru; The Fairy in the Tap; The Witch in the Broom Cupboard; The Good Little Devil; The Love Story of a Potato; Uncle Pierre's House; Prince Blub and the Mermaid; The Cunning Little Pig; The Fool and His Wise Wife.

Very cute and funny!!
Read
September 30, 2024IT'S HARD TO RATE CLASSICS, SO I WON'T GIVE THIS ONE A STAR RATING. THAT SAID, WHILE IT'S AN IMPORTANT BOOK AND HAS ITS PLACE IN THE CANNON OF MODERN FRENCH LITERATURE, I WOULD RATE MY ENJOYMENT OF IT AT 3.5-4 STARS.
As a fan of fairy tales and French literature, I've often heard about Les contes de la rue Broca. These 20th-century fairy tales are an iconic reference - or, at least it seems to me, the idea of them is. It's interesting that the only one whose plot I've ever heard is "La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard" (not included in this volume of these stories, but in the first one, which I also read and reviewed).
That particular tale, which mostly takes place in the titular Parisian street and the nearby rue Broca, is exactly what I was expecting all of these stories to be: A funny, strange new fairy tale that's set in a real place.
The other contes de la rue Broca, though, weren't what I was expecting. While a few do take place on the rue Broca, most don't. That sort of disappointed me. The stories in this second volume especially go far off - except for "Le petit cochon futé", which not only brings us back to the rue Broca, but also has a really cool call-back to "La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard" from the first volume (it turns out these two tales are taking place at the same time).
But while they weren't what I was expecting, it's hard not to really like these stories. Simply written (great news for French learners and non-native speakers!) but very witty and at times poetic, they're undeniably entertaining.
I often have trouble with short story anthologies. I think I like to immerse myself into a story for a while and then have some time to digest it, as with a novel, and short story compilations make me feel like I can't do that, even though I know I COULD. But the stories in this book distracted me enough that I kept reading.
One thing that is strange to me is the fact that despite these tales being relatively short, and certainly being short reads, and also being classics of 20th century French children's literature, it seems difficult to find an unabridged collection of them in a single volume. Even my local library here in France, which has a really well-stocked children's section, only had these tales in a set of two books. You might argue that the 120-or-so pages, with a few illustrations along the way, is enough for a children's book, rather than a single volume of 240 or so pages. But even the publisher doesn't seem to agree, since there's another thirty-or-so pages full of activities and fun things to do with the stories.
This is a really neat idea for children's books (or heck, even some adult books!). But it is still weird to me that the publisher didn't just include all of the contes de la rue Broca in a single volume.
You could make a distinction between the two books in the collection. The stories in the first volume seem generally to be a bit closer to children's fairy tales (although there are no famous fairy tale characters here; however, one story features a French nursery rhyme character and a few include history references instead). This one, the second volume, on the other hand, has longer stories that seem a bit more unusual, with several including characters like devils and God(s).
Still, a single, unabridged volume (which does exist) could simply divide the book up into two parts, if this distinction is important to make.
The annoying publishing choice is one of the two biggest things I didn't like about these stories. The second was a few smatterings of sliiiightly racist/sexist statements/characters now and then. But of course, like any work of literature, these stories are a product of their time. And on the positive side, several of the recurring characters are North Africans living in Paris, shown in a positive and normal light, which was/is not always the case in French literature or society.
This volume also has an obligatory illustration featuring a perky pair of women's boobs. Nothing against that in a book for adults or a general audience, but the whole thing is so unnecessary in a children's book and VERY male gazey, and also very much of its time. Random boobs were just a part of life in mid- to late 20th century and early 2000's France, even in children's books and movies (see the AMAZING "Kirikou" films, for instance - how interesting that all of the women in the tribe have very perky, lovely boobs, not flat or uneven or deformed ones at all). I don't take issue with this in a prudish way, but just because it objectifies women, no matter how the males at that time liked to spin it.
Anyway, sorry - back to the book....
Although they're not my favorite stories ever, les contes de la rue Broca made for a very enjoyable read, overall. I laughed and was constantly surprised. It's that undeniable fact that means I feel bad giving them anything less than 5 stars. I'm glad that I finally got around to reading them, and have no idea why it took me so long!
Favorite quote from this second volume: The opening line of "Roman d'amour d'une patate", a story which wasn't even like a fairy tale to me, so much as a very silly nonsense story, what a French person might call "un délire". It was a somewhat weird addition to this anthology but also great for a few laughs, although its ending made me feel like it would actually appeal more to adults. Anyway, the story's opening line had me laughing: "Il était une fois une patate - une vulgaire patate, comme nous en voyons tous les jours - mais dévorée d'ambition." Perfect.

C’est un peu bizarre, ce livre. Mais je l’aime dans l’ensemble. Il y a quelques histoires je ne suis pas le plus grand fan mais ce n’est pas grave. Les question à la fin de livre étaient un peu compliquées et je m’a fait perplexe. Mais je l’ai assez aimé.

A collection of fairy tales translated from the original French. All of which were written with input from children, friends of the author. Which is sweet, and sometimes works well but occasionally does seem childish and out of style for this type of tale.
But that's an adult talking. I'm sure a seven year old hearing these stories will laugh out loud at the references to a witch's bottom, a pair of shoes in love, and a potato who wants to be a French fry.
The classic roots of well-known fairy tales can be seen too in these stories - wise women married to fools, a mermaid and a human falling in love, quests to find impossible objects. It's a real mixture of traditional folklore and enjoyable additions by cheeky and enthusiastic children.
The illustrations are fun, line drawings of characters that add to the silliness of some of the story elements.
I didn't dislike any story, I found them very enjoyable. And I would read them to my son when he is old enough, I think he'll like them too, and I can see how this would lead on to 'retelling' and embellishing other stories together.

« Le gentil petit diable et autres contes de la rue Broca » est un des autres livres qui a marqué mon enfance au même titre que « La sorcière de la rue Mouffetard ». Je l’ai également découvert en primaire et je l’avais tout autant adoré. Notamment la première histoire avec ce petit diable qui veut devenir gentil. C’était complètement inhabituel, ça me changeait des histoires de princesses et de sorcières et puis c’était aussi très drôle. Je l’ai relu très récemment et j’y ai pris autant de plaisir que lorsque j’étais petite. Une fois de plus, c’est un livre qui peu se lire quel que soit l’âge ou la génération. C’est un livre à partager en famille et entre amis, entre petits et grands et c’est quelque chose que j’adore, parce que pour moi la lecture passe aussi par la transmission et quand je vois qu’un livre des années 60 se trouvent encore dans les écoles et garderies et que la plupart des enfants le connaissent ça me fait vraiment plaisir.

Ces contes étaient parmi mes préférés pendant mon enfance, et je n'ai pas été déçue en les relisant des années plus tard : originaux et extrêmement drôles, ils reprennent les figures habituelles des contes (le roi, la sirène, les frères rivaux, le trésor...), mais pas les stéréotypes qui voudraient que la princesse attende d'être sauvée par un prince courageux...! Je pense même en lire un autre volume dans la foulée pour faire durer le plaisir !

Muy bueno. Los cuentos son muy bonitos y aptos para todas las edades. Especialmente graciosos fueron el cuento de la patata y el del cerdito, aunque también estuvo muy divertido el del pequeño diablo.
Muy útil para comenzar a practicar el francés.
