Ces deux nouvelles furent écrites en 1896 et 1898, juste avant et pendant la relation amoureuse de Lou Andreas-Salomé avec Rilke. Un même thème les parcourt : le choix pour une femme de la liberté, sans réserve, au mépris du danger - liberté d'aimer ou de ne pas aimer, hors conventions, liberté de créer - et la traversée des chemins qui y mènent. Traversée de ce qui tue la passion et représente une tentation masochiste pour les femmes : le mariage. Antérieures à ses textes psychanalytiques maintenant bien connus, ces deux nouvelles sont les premiers textes romanesques de Lou Andreas-Salomé jamais publiés en France.

In this series we look at some of our leading classic authors across two genres: the short story and the poem. In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything. But ideas, these grains and saplings of the brain, need to roam, to explore and find their perfect literary use vehicle. Our authors are masters of many literary forms, perhaps known for one but themselves favouring another.

Esson’s first collection of poems, Bells and Bees, was published in 1910; a second collection, Red Gums and Other Verses, in 1912. Although Esson published no further poetry collections, his verse continued to appear in magazines such as The Bulletin until the late 1920s.

A Child's Garden of Verses is a book of poetry for children. Stevenson dedicated the poems to his nurse, Cummy (Alison Cunningham), who cared for him during his many childhood illnesses. The collection includes some of Stevenson's most famous poems, including “The Land of Counterpane”, “My Shadow", and “The Lamplighter”.

A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 30 most translated authors in the world, just below Charles Dickens. He has been greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Schwob, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he, "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins."
