Note publique d'information : BA JIN A VECU EN FRANCE DE 1927 A 1928. C'EST A PARIS QU'IL A ENTREPRIS SA CARRIERE
D'ECRIVAIN. AU DEBUT DES ANNEES TRENTE, IL EST DEVENU UNE VEDETTE LITTERAIRE EN CHINE.
SON PREMIER RECUEIL DE NOUVELLES "LA VENGEANCE" EST CONSACRE ESSENTIELLEMENT A L'IMAGE
DE FRANCAIS. SA FAMEUSE TRILOGIE "LE TORRENT IMPETUEUX", DONT LE CHEF D'OEUVRE "FAMILLE"
FAIT PARTIE, EST INSPIREE DE LA SERIE DES ROUGON-MACQUART. SON "GERMINAL" MONTRE DE
NOMBREUX POINTS COMMUN AVEC CELUI DE ZOLA, MAIS IL REJETTE SON NATURALISME ET SA THEORIE
D'HEREDITE. LA PENSEE DE BA JIN EST ETROITEMENT LIEE A SES LECTURES FRANCAISES. SES
CONCEPTIONS DE LA DEMOCRATIE, DE L'EGALITE, DE LA MORALE, AINSI QUE DE L'ESTHETIQUE
SONT SURTOUT INFLUENCEES PAR DES ECRIVAINS FRANCAIS, TELS QUE J.J. ROUSSEAU. E. ZOLA,
V. HUGO, R. ROLLAND, MEME J.M. GUYAU. BA JIN A RECU DE LA LITTERATURE FRANCAISE NON
SEULEMENT LA FORME DU ROMAN, MAIS AUSSI, L'ESPRIT DEMOCRATIQUE, L'HUMANISME ET LE
REALISME. AU RETOUR, IL A APPORTE SA CONTRIBUTION TANT A LA LITTERATURE CHINOISE,
QU'A LA WELTLITERATUR". IL EST UN DES PLUS GRANDS ECRIVAINS DE LA CHINE MODERNE. SON
INFLUENCE S'EST REPANDUE DANS LE MONDE ENTIER.
Note publique d'information : BA JIN SPENT TWO YEURS 1927 AND 1928 IN FRANCE. IT WAS IN PARIS THAT HE UNDERTOOK
HIS LITERARY CAREER. IN EARLY THIRTIES, HE BECAME A LITERARY STAR IN CHINA. HIS FIRST
COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES "THE REVENGE" IS ESTABLISHED ESSENTIALLY TO THE IMAGE
OF FRENCHMEN. HIS FAMOUS TRILOGY "THE IMPETUOUS TORRENT", OF WHICH THE MASTERPIECE
"FAMILY" IS PART, IS ISNPIRED BY THE SERIES OF ROUGON-MACQUART. HIS "GERMINAL" SHOWS
A LOT OF COMMON POINTS WITH THOSE OF ZOLA, BUT, HE REJECTS THE NATURALISM AND THE
THEORY OF HERE DITY. THE THOUGHT OF BA JIN IS CLOSELY LINKED TO HIS FRENCH READING.
HIS CONCEPTION OF DEMOCRACY, EQUALITY, MORALS, AND ESTHETIC ARE PARTICULARLY INFLUENCED
BY FRENCH WRITERS, SUCH AS J.J. ROUSSEAU, E. ZOLA, V. HUGO, R. ROLLAND, AND J.M. GUYAU.
BA JIN HAS RECEIVED FROM FRENCH LITERATURE, NOT ONLY THE FORM OF NOVEL, BUT ALSO DEMOCRATIC
SPIRIT, HUMANISM, AND REALISM. IN RETURN, HE HAS ONTRIBUED AS MANY TO CHINESE LITERATURE,
AS TO HE "WELTLITERATUR". HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST WRITERS OF MODERN CHINA. HIS INFLUENCE
IS WIDESPREND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
