His life as a soldier and government administrator allowed him to travel to Brazil, Africa, and India. Though from the periphery of France's colonial empire, he ultimately became a member of the Académie Française. Despite his reaching that pinnacle of respectability, some of his poetry was banned after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition includes poems from the Poésies érotiques and Élégies, which established Parny's reputation; the Chansons madécasses (\"\"Madagascar Songs\"\"), which were influential in the development of the prose poem; five of his published letters, written in a mixture of prose and verse; the narrative poem \"\"Le Voyage de Céline\"\"; and selections from his sardonic, anticlerical later poetry. A substantial introduction discusses Parny's poetry in connection with its literary context and the themes of gender, race, and postcoloniality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45546480697423,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1260.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781603293624","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
