# Conte (literature)

Conte (pronounced) is a literary genre of tales, often short, characterized by fantasy or wit. They were popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries until the genre became merged with the short story in the nineteenth century. Distinguishing contes from other literary genres is notoriously difficult due to the various meanings of the French term conte [fr] that span folktales, fairy tales, short stories, oral tales, and fables.

## Definition

Conte comes from the French word conter, "to relate". The French term conte encompasses a wide range of narrative forms that are not limited to written accounts. No clear English equivalent for conte exists in English as it includes folktales, fairy tales, short stories, oral tales, and to lesser extent fables. This makes conte notoriously difficult to define precisely.
A conte is generally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. In this sense, contes can be called novellas. Contes are contrasted with short stories not only in length but subject matter. Whereas short stories (nouvelles) are about recent ("novel") events, contes tend to be either fairy tales or philosophical stories. Nouvelles, too, could be oral. Contes are often adventure stories, characterized by fantasy, wit, and satire. It may have moral or philosophical underpinnings, but is generally not interested in psychological depth or circumstantial detail. They may be profound, but not "weighty". These generic characteristics also contribute to their short length. Contes can be either in prose or verse.

## History

Contes were popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The distinction between contes and short stories was largely obsolete by the nineteenth century when the genres became merged. Reflective of this, the English term "short story" was coined in 1884 by Brander Matthews.
Famous examples of contes include Contes et nouvelles en vers by Jean de La Fontaine, Histoires ou contes du temps passé by Charles Perrault, and Contes cruels [fr] by Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, the last of which spawned a subgenre called conte cruel.
Voltaire is said to have invented the genre of philosophical conte [fr], also practiced by Denis Diderot. However, according to Edmund Gosse, "those brilliant stories" by Voltaire – Candide, Zadig, L'Ingénu, La Princesse de Babylone [fr], and The White Bull – "are not, in the modern sense, contes at all. The longer of these are romans [novels], the shorter nouvelles, not one has the anecdotical unity required by a conte." While it is possible that Voltaire drew inspiration to his contes from an oral source, namely his performances to Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon early in his career, he only published contes after his exile. The genre is also believed to have been started by Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy after she published "L'île de la Félicité," in her novel L'Histoire d'Hypolite, comte de Douglas. The group les conteuses, which d'Aulnoy was a part of, significantly contributed to this genre in the late 17th century.
Francophone contes also exist outside of France. For instance, Lafcadio Hearn incorporated creole contes in his works.
# Van Dik Hout

Van Dik Hout are a Dutch pop group from Den Helder in the north of the Netherlands. They formed in the late 1980s as a school band, but moved later to Amsterdam where they rechristened themselves into Van Dik Hout.
The band's biggest hit was 'Stil in mij' (Silent inside of me) in 1994 from their first album 'Van Dik Hout', which became platinum in The Netherlands. With this hit, the band also won a MTV Local Hero Award and a Zilveren Harp, a Dutch musical award.
In the early 2000s, they partnered with Dutch duo Acda en de Munnik to form the band De Poema's, under which name they had a number one hit in 2001 with Zij maakt het verschil (She makes the difference).
The band's name (literally "Of thick wood") is a play on the Dutch saying "Van dik hout zaagt men planken", literally "Planks get sawn from thick wood". In Dutch it translates to "The hard work has been done, albeit not very neatly". It can also mean "without much nuance".

# Jack Jenney

Truman Eliot "Jack" Jenney (May 12, 1910 – December 16, 1945) was an American jazz trombonist.

## Early life

Born in Mason City, Iowa, Jenney first played trumpet, then switched to trombone. His father was a musician and music teacher. Jenney performed in his father's band from age 11, but his professional work began with Austin Wylie in 1928.

## Career

During his career, Jenney worked with Isham Jones, Red Norvo, Artie Shaw, Mal Hallett, and Waring's Pennsylvanians. He appeared in the film Syncopation. He has been called "the greatest trombonist of the Big Band era" and won the DownBeat Reader's Poll for trombone in 1940.
He led his own band for a year in 1938 and 1939, but it was a financial failure. He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1943, but also played as a studio musician the following year.

## Death

He died on December 16, 1945, in Los Angeles, from complications following an appendectomy.
# Coup de Grâce (novel)

Coup de Grâce (French: Le Coup de grâce) is a 1939 novel in French by Marguerite Yourcenar. The narrative is a triangle drama set in the Baltics during the Russian Civil War (1917-1922).

## Story

The novel begins with Erick von Lhomond, recently wounded during the Spanish Civil War, returning to Germany via Italy. Among other mercenaries, he begins to tell his war story, which dates back to the Bolshevik Revolution.
Although he had trained to join the German military during World War I, he was still too young to fight before the war ended. His father, having died at Verdun, left the family in debt. Between his need to fight and his family's need for money, he decides to join German forces fighting the Bolsheviks in Kurland in what is modern-day Latvia. Erick had spent the happiest times of his youth there with relatives in the home of the Count of Reval, which now served as a barracks for the fighters. Erick's childhood friend Conrad fights alongside him and Conrad's sister, Sophie helps to care for all of the soldiers.
Only a few years have passed since the happiness of his youth and Erick easily reconnects with Conrad. What he doesn't expect is the more mature attentions of Sophie. He continuously deflects her attentions, which become quite overt. He seems unwilling to be honest about the reasons for his dismissal of her advances—his feelings for Conrad. In the end, his time in that house, both as a child, and as a soldier was never about games or war, it was always about Conrad.

## Analysis

Told only from Erick's perspective, we hear about his inner feelings and only the perceived feelings of those around him. His tendency toward solitude, largely brought on by the uncertainty of a future in war-worn Europe, kept him from sharing his feelings with those around him. It's a heartbreaking story of lost youth and lost love.
Erick's youth means that he doesn't really know what he feels. He refers to his 'indispensable vice' and how it 'is much less the love for boys, than for solitude.

## Legacy

It was adapted into the 1976 film Coup de Grâce, directed by Volker Schlöndorff.

His appointment was opposed by the bar association and senior lawyers due to the allegation of embezzlement from the association.
In October 2003, Rokanuddin Mahmud, president of the bar association, accused Shahidur Rahman of taking bribes for bails.

The council, led by Chief Justice Khondokar Mahmud Hasan, investigated the allegations and submitted their report on 26 January 2004.
On 20 April 2004, Shahidur Rahman was removed from his judgeship by President Iajuddin Ahmed on the recommendation of the Supreme Judicial Council and consent of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

# St Mary's Church, Pembridge

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Pembridge, Herefordshire, United Kingdom is an active parish church in the Diocese of Hereford. The church is dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus. It is a Grade I listed building. Its belfry stands separate from the church and has its own Grade I listing.

## History

The origins of the church are Norman, of the 12th or 13th centuries, although almost nothing of this early establishment remains. Alan Brooks, in his 2012 Herefordshire volume in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, notes a free-standing pillar piscina in the porch as the only evidence of this period of the church's history. The church stands in the centre of the village of Pembridge, to the south of the high street. The manor was originally held by the de Pembridge family, Norman knights, before passing into the control of the Mortimers, later the Earls of March, in the 13th century. It is probable that the present church was constructed by Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March in the early 14th century.
The church underwent a Victorian restoration in 1871, and was again restored in 1903–1909.
St Mary's remains an active parish church, in the Arrowvale group of parishes in north Herefordshire. The church holds a series of modern tapestries, woven by parishioners, which depict the life and history of the village from Domesday to the 20th century. The church is also home to a colony of Natterer's bats.

## Architecture and description

Brooks describes St Mary's as "large and impressive". It comprises a nave, with aisles and transepts, a chancel and a porch and vestry. The building material is local sandstone with ashlar decoration. The roof is tiled, a modern replacement for the original slates. The style is predominantly Decorated Gothic.

### Belfry

The belfry stands detached from the church, about 5m to the north-east. Tree-ring dating indicates that the four timbers which form the roof posts were felled between 1207 and 1223, and the first building dates from this period. The belfry underwent complete reconstruction in around 1668. It is octagonal with a shingle pyramid roof. RIBA describes the belfry as "unique in England" and draws comparisons with the Stave churches of Scandinavia. The tower was the subject of a detailed study by Andrew Boucher and Richard Morris, published in the journal Vernacular Architecture in 2011. Boucher and Morriss discuss the likely rationale for detached church towers, a type relatively common in Herefordshire, and suggest that the traditional explanation, of the detached tower as a defensive structure, is implausible, given that many, including Pembridge, were originally constructed with openings at the ground floor level.

## Listing designations

The church and the belfry are both listed at the highest grade, Grade I.
