Kurzbeschreibung

Gaspard de la Nuit (originally published in 1842) combines the haunting Gothic imagery of ETA Hoffman with the colorful romantic verve of Victor Hugo. In it, you will meet Scarbo the vampire dwarf, Ondine, the faerie princess of the waters, and an unforgettable assortment of lepers, alchemists, beggars, swordsmen and ghosts. Gaspard de la Nuit inspired Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, the Surrealist Movement and composer Maurice Ravel, who wrote a suite of virtuoso piano pieces patterned after it. This new edition has been entirely retranslated by renowned poet and literary historian Donald Sidney-Fryer, the author of Songs and Sonnets Atlantean who has edited four collections of prose and poetry by Clark Ashton Smith. In his extensive introduction and afterword, Sidney-Fryer retraces the steps in Bertrand's life, casts a new light on his works and follows the elusive Gaspard from the Three Kings of Bethlehem to Casper the Friendly Ghost. This collection features a foreword by T.E.D. Klein and is illustrated by drawings from Bertand himself.

Excellent 20. September 2007

Von Robert W. Weibel - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

The book's thorough introduction offers valuable insight into this pivotal author, Aloysius Bertrand, and his contribution to the evolution of modern poetry. The prose poems themselves are beautifully translated, steeped with haunting images of the middle ages--sublime, brutal, and devilish at a turn. One clearly sees how Gaspard de la Nuit influences the prose poems of Charles Baudelaire (published as Paris Spleen). Altogether, this is a beautiful and significant book.
