Summary "Journal des Goncourt (Deuxième volume)" by Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt is a literary journal written during the mid-19th century. This work captures the thoughts, observations, and reflections of the authors as they navigate the world of literature and art in the bustling cultural landscape of Paris. The journal offers a glimpse into their interactions with notable figures of the time, as well as their insights on contemporary society and its artistic expressions. The opening of the journal sets the tone with contemplative remarks on life, society, and artistic endeavors. It begins on New Year's Day, marked by a somber reflection on loss and memory. The authors describe a visit to their elderly cousin Cornélie, highlighting the contrast between the richness of familial connections and the stark reality of poverty. Through anecdotes, they ponder the nature of fame, politics, and art, showcasing their critical views on public figures and societal mores. As they engage in conversations with fellow writers and artists like Flaubert and Gautier, themes of artistic ambition, existential despondency, and the complexities of human relationships begin to emerge, hinting at the deeper intellectual and emotional explorations to come in the subsequent entries of the journal.
