Dictionnaire Historique de la Langue Française

édition ultime, revue et enrichie par Alain Rey

https://dictionnaire-historique.lerobert.com/

Deux ans après la disparition de Alain Rey, cet amoureux de la langue française, Le Robert vient de sortir, le 20 octobre 2022, ultime version du Dictionnaire historique de la langue française, entièrement réactualisé.

Alain Rey, le linguiste et lexicographe s'est éteint à l'âge de 92 ans, le 28 octobre 2020. L'observateur des évolutions de la langue française a toujours aimé partager sa passion avec le grand public : 

À chaque nouvelle édition du Petit Robert, "il commentait avec gourmandise les nouvelles expressions. "'Keuf' et 'meuf', on a très bien fait de les intégrer au début des années 1990, parce que, maintenant, ce ne sont plus des mots de verlan et des mots de jeunes, ce sont des mots de tout le monde, des mots de français familier", estimait-il le 8 mars 2013.

Tout au long de sa vie, Alain Rey a tenté, dans ses dictionnaires, ses livres, ses articles, sa présence dans les médias et dans de nombreuses manifestations, de représenter "les enjeux, les richesses, mais aussi les mystères de la langue : pour lui, les mots sont des accumulateurs d’énergie, parfois des armes, dont il est sain de percer le mystère." 

Cette nouvelle édition, 2022, revue et enrichie par Alain Rey retrace l’origine et l’histoire de plus de 95 000 mots, expressions et locutions. 

Un dictionnaire unique, à lire 'comme un roman'. Pour chaque mot : son étymologie, sa datation, une description fine de ses évolutions de forme, de sens et d'usage au cours des siècles.

September in Review & Georges Simenon novels !

Georges Simenon, 1973

The prolific and incredible Belgian writer, Georges Simenon, was dead 30 years, on the 4 September 1989.

His serious novels that involve elements of crime and melodrama continue to fascinate writers and readers.

He has at last achieved, at the age of 60, what one French critic (Jacqueline Barde) calls "son grand roman, son premier roman." 

And in this first "pure" novel, even the hitherto confused should be able to see why André Gide long ago described this author as "perhaps the greatest and most truly 'novelistic' novelist in French literature today." 

"Gide wholehearted enthusiasm for Simenon and Dashiell Hammett must be a persistent obstacle for those who insist on drawing a sharp line between "entertainment" and "literature."

Born in Liège (Belgium) on 13th February in 1903, began writing in his teens. In a decade or so he wrote two or three hundred books under 17 pseudonyms, of the most hack description - spy stories, westerns, sentimental novels for girls, and other.

In his late twenties, Simenon moved up several notches with the creation of Commissionaire Maigret (1930) and other less known but rewarding fictional detectives.

Georges Simenon, 1981

Contractually bound to a Maigret novel a month plus a short story a week, he began turning out work of extraordinary quality.

Simenon's career is as improbable as any in modern literature. Georges Simenon, the masterly Belgian novelist whose Inspector Maigret mysteries and many other highly regarded works made him one of the most widely published authors of the century.

Simenon wrote 84 Maigret adventures and 136 other novels under his own name, and some 200 novellas under 17 pseudonyms early in his career.

His work consists of 391 titles, and he is best known as the creator of the fictional detective series consisting of 75 books featuring Inspecteur Maigret, translated into more than 50 languages. 

"It is not too much to say that Simenon is one of the great revolutionists of the detective story. Maigret novels operated, like the work of Hammett and his fellow pulpsters in America, to enable the detective story to achieve novelistic stature, while the intellectuals of the period were still praising S. S. Van Dine, who denied the possibility."
