Paul Bourget

    Paul Bourget bol francúzsky románopisec a esejista, ktorý sa odklonil od naturalizmu a stal sa priekopníkom experimentálneho analytického románu. Jeho rané diela, plné jemných štúdií mravov a charakterov, si získali obľubu u parížskej smotánky hľadajúcej sny o modernej dobe. Neskôr sa Bourget zameral na „román s tézou“, kde skúmal psychologické a morálne príčiny individuálnych a spoločenských problémov. Jeho dielo, ovplyvnené konverziou ku katolicizmu, sa snažilo prepojiť vieru s vedou a zaoberalo sa sociálnymi, politickými a náboženskými otázkami svojej doby.

      Tři malé dívky
    • Mladý středoškolský profesor odchází na krátký čas z malého města do Paříže, kde má na přání otce navštívit svého děda a vypátrat důvody jeho žádosti o peněžní půjčku. Přitom odhalí nejen vztah dědův k Pavle - mladé dívce vynikajících schopností, zaměstnané v nemocničnílaboratoři, která je jeho nelegitimní dcerou, ale stane se i bezděčným svědkem duševní krize nadaného spisovatele, potácejícího se mezi čistou láskou k Pavle a smyslným vztahem k vdané ženě. V laborantce Pavle, která není vlastní hrdinkou románu, vytvořil autor typ moderní generace žen, které vstupovaly do nejrůznějších zaměstnání přes všechny předsudky maloměšťácké společnosti, milovaly svou práci a stávaly se nezávislými na svém okolí.
