Résultats de "Marcel Schwob" dans Toutes les catégories

Masques et visages couverts défilent dans ce recueil d’histoires. Un roi au masque d’or, un sauvage au mufle de fourrure, des routiers italiens à la face pestiférée et des routiers français aux faux visages, des galériens aux heaumes rouges, des jeunes filles subitement vieillies dans un miroir: voici la singulière foule de lépreux, d’embaumeuses, d’eunuques, d’assassins, de démoniaques et de pirates que Marcel Schwob assemble.

Aux confins de la veille et du songe, une porte s’entrouvre. La Porte des rêves rassemble quinze contes fin-de-siècle où le fantastique se teinte de symbolisme. Sous l’influence de Poe et de Stevenson, Marcel Schwob cisèle des visions brèves, inquiétantes, parfois ironiques, où l’invisible affleure et la réalité chancelle. Voix, silhouettes, présages et mirages y composent un dédale de sensations: moins des intrigues que des atmosphères, où chaque image éclaire une ombre.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that are difficult to achieve elsewhere. The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.
