Adolphe Coppez
''Adolphe'' is a classic French novel by Benjamin Constant, first published in 1816. It tells the story of an alienated young man, Adolphe, who falls in love with an older woman, Ellénore, the Polish mistress of the Comte de P***. Their illicit relationship serves to isolate them from their friends and from society at large. The book eschews all conventional descriptions of exteriors for the sake of detailed accounts of feelings and states of mind. Constant began the novel on 30 October 1806, and completed it some time before 1810. While still working on it he read drafts to individual acquaintances and to small audiences, and after its first publication in London and Paris in June 1816 it went through three further editions: in July 1816 (new preface), July 1824 in Paris (restorations to Ch. 8, third preface), and in 1828. Many variants appear, mostly alterations to Constant's somewhat archaic spelling and punctuation. Plot summary Adolphe, the narrator, is the son of a go ...

Félix Sellier
Félix Sellier (Spy, 2 January 1893 – Gembloux, 16 April 1965) was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer. Stage victory in 1921 Tour de France In the 1921 Tour de France, the cyclists were separated in two classes, the sponsored riders and the unsponsored riders. For the thirteenth stage, these classes started separated, partly because the Tour organisers wanted to punish the sponsored riders for not attacking the leader Léon Scieur, and partly because the leader in the second class was helped by cyclists in the first class. Sellier was one of the riders in the second class, and therefore could start two hours earlier than the favourites. Some of the second class cyclists including Sellier stayed ahead, and Sellier managed to win the stage. Sellier would finish 8th overall of the second class cyclists, and 16th in the overall combined classification. In the next year, Sellier started the Tour de France as sponsored cyclist. He again won a stage, but this time he had star ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
