Summary "Journal des Goncourt (Deuxième série, premier volume)" by Goncourt and Goncourt is a literary journal written in the late 19th century. This volume chronicles the life of its authors during the tumultuous period of the Siege of Paris and the Paris Commune, providing a first-person account filled with reflections on grief, nostalgia, and the social and political landscape of the time. The narratives include personal memories, observations of the environment, and commentary on the war, which add depth to the historical context being described. The opening of the journal sets a reflective tone as the author grapples with the recent death of his brother, Jules, and his own profound sense of loss. It consists of a series of dated entries beginning in late June, where Edmond de Goncourt expresses his emotional turmoil while recounting everyday life against the backdrop of the impending conflict. He vividly describes scenes from Paris, encounters with friends, and the growing tension of war, laying the groundwork for a narrative that will intertwine personal grief with historical events as the siege unfolds, illustrating the impacts of war on individual lives and society as a whole.
