Download or read book My Fantoms written by Theophile Gautier and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romantic provocateur, flamboyant bohemian, precocious novelist, perfect poet—not to mention an inexhaustible journalist, critic, and man-about-town—Théophile Gautier is one of the major figures, and great characters, of French literature. In My Fantoms Richard Holmes, the celebrated biographer of Shelley and Coleridge, has found a brilliantly effective new way to bring this great bu too-little-known writer into English. My Fantoms assembles seven stories spanning the whole of Gautier’s career into a unified work that captures the essence of his adventurous life and subtle art. From the erotic awakening of “The Adolescent” through “The Poet,” a piercing recollection of the mad genius Gérard de Nerval, the great friend of Gautier’s youth, My Fantoms celebrates the senses and illuminates the strange disguises of the spirit, while taking readers on a tour of modernity at its most mysterious. ”What ever would the Devil find to do in Paris?” Gautier wonders. “He would meet people just as diabolical as he, and find himself taken for some naïve provincial…” Tapestries, statues, and corpses come to life; young men dream their way into ruin; and Gautier keeps his faith in the power of imagination: “No one is truly dead, until they are no longer loved.”

Download or read book The Chimeras written by Gérard de Nerval and published by DOS Madres Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Illustrated by Douglas Kinsey. Translated by Henry Weinfield. The lovely Chimeras by GÃ(c)rard de Nerval (1808-1855), musical and mystical jewels and among the most refined and rarified verse pieces in French poetry, present a daunting challenge to the reader and a formidable challenge to the translator. As a writer himself of refined and elegant verse poetry, a critic and scholar of French literature and of Western literature in general, Weinfield brings to bear, in this undertaking, the indispensable constellation of art, skill, and knowledge, and the resulting translations capture fully the evocative power and mystical beauty of Nerval's poems. This is both an impressive accomplishment and a tremendous service to the Anglophone reader.â Alain Toumayan

Book Synopsis The Enchanted Ring by : Philothée O¿Neddy
Download or read book The Enchanted Ring written by Philothée O¿Neddy and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philothée O'Neddy, one of the most flamboyant and outspoken members of the defiantly and insistently eccentric group of French writers known as the Jeunes France, whose members included Théophile Gautier, Petrus Borel and Gérard de Nerval, produced little fiction during his lifetime, but that he did produce was of the highest order. His longest prose work, Histoire d'un anneau enchanté, roman de chevalerie (1841), here translated into English for the first time by Brian Stableford as The Enchanted Ring: A Romance of Chivalry is one of the most remarkable products of the French Romantic imagination. Although the proto-Baudelairean aspects of the author's collection of poetry Feu et flamme have helped to maintain that volume's reputation at a higher level, Histoire d'un anneau enchanté, roman de chevalerie has an equal claim to be considered its author's masterpiece, with its marked unconventionality and admirable zest, which maintain its readability very well into the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Pierrot and his world by : Marika Takanishi Knowles
Download or read book Pierrot and his world written by Marika Takanishi Knowles and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierrot, a theatrical stock character known by his distinctive costume of loose white tunic and trousers, is a ubiquitous figure in French art and culture. This richly illustrated book offers an account of Pierrot’s recurrence in painting, printmaking, photography and film, tracing this distinctive type from the art of Antoine Watteau to the cinema of Occupied France. As a visual type, Pierrot thrives at the intersection of theatrical and marketplace practices. From Watteau’s Pierrot (c. 1720) and Édouard Manet’s The Old Musician (1862) to Nadar and Adrien Tournachon’s Pierrot the Photographer (1855) and the landmark film Children of Paradise (1945), Pierrot has given artists a medium through which to explore the marketplace as a form for both social life and creative practice. Simultaneously a human figure and a theatrical mask, Pierrot elicits artistic reflection on the representation of personality in the marketplace.
