Raymonde Vincent
Raymonde Vincent (1908, Luant, Indre – 1985, Saint-Chartier, Indre) was a French woman of letters. She won the Prix Femina in 1937 for her novel '. Biography Originally from Berry, Raymonde Vincent was born near Châteauroux in a family of farmers. When her mother died, she held the house of her father, a métayer operating a farm belonging to a castle. Catechism aside, her instruction was neglected. At seventeen she left for Paris where she found a job in commerce. She met Albert Béguin (1901–1957), an academic who became a renowned essayist, critic and translator, whom she married in 1929. In a few years, Raymonde Vincent caught up the deficiency of her studies and took interest in painting, music and theater. However, it was the nostalgia of her peasant past that inspired her most outstanding work: ''Campagne'' for which the Prix Femina was awarded to her in 1937.

Berry
A berry is a small, pulpy, and often edible fruit. Typically, berries are juicy, rounded, brightly colored, sweet, sour or tart, and do not have a stone or pit, although many pips or seeds may be present. Common examples are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, red currants, white currants and blackcurrants. In Britain, soft fruit is a horticultural term for such fruits. In common usage, the term "berry" differs from the scientific or botanical definition of a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower in which the outer layer of the ovary wall develops into an edible fleshy portion (pericarp). The botanical definition includes many fruits that are not commonly known or referred to as berries, such as grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, bananas, and chili peppers. Fruits commonly considered berries but excluded by the botanical definition include strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, which are aggregate fruits and mulberries, which are mu ...

Métayage
The metayage ; es, medierÃa ; it, mezzadria . system is the cultivation of land for a proprietor by one who receives a proportion of the produce, as a kind of sharecropping. Another class of land tenancy in France is named , whereby the rent is paid annually in banknotes. A farm operating under ''métayage'' was known as a ''métairie'', the origin of some place names in areas where the system was used, such as Metairie, Louisiana. Origin and function Métayage was available under Roman law, although it was not in widespread use. It proved useful after the emancipation of Roman slaves as the newly freed peasants had no land or cash (the same phenomenon happened in Brazil and the US when slavery was banned). In what is now northern Italy and southeastern France, the post Black Death population explosion of the late Middle Ages, combined with the relative lack of free land, made métayage an attractive system for both landowner and farmer. Once institutionalized, it continued int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Éditions Du Seuil
Éditions du Seuil (), also known as ''Le Seuil'', is a French publishing house established in 1935 by Catholic intellectual Jean Plaquevent (1901–1965), and currently owned by La Martinière Groupe. It owes its name to this goal "The ''seuil'' (threshold) is the whole excitement of parting and arriving. It is also the brand new threshold that we refashion at the door of the Church to allow entry to many whose foot gropes around it" (Jean Plaquevent, letter dated 28 December 1934). Description Éditions du Seuil was the publisher of the ''Don Camillo'' series, and of Chairman Mao Zedong's ''Little Red Book''.
