Περιγραφή για Rhapsodies 1831 Petrus Borel Carcanet Classics Paperback / softback

\'Borel was the sun,\' said Theophile Gautier, \'who could resist him?\' Indeed, who? A lycanthrope, necrophile, absurd revolutionary, Paris dandy with a scented beard, flamboyant sufferer: a man with no grave and no memorial. His once celebrated red mouth opened briefly \'like an exotic flower\' to complain of injustice and bourgeois vulgarity; of his frustration in love and reputation; of poverty and blighted fate. Then he withered in the minor officialdom of Algeria, where he died because he would not wear a hat, leaving a haunted house and a doubtful name. \'And now,\' says his only biographer Dame Enid Starkie, \'he is quite forgotten.\' Rhapsodies 1831 includes all the poems Borel wrote when he was twenty and twenty-one. The poems, he said, are \'the slag from my crucible\': \'the poetry that boils in my heart has slung its dross\'. It is a fabulous, fiery, black-clouded dross: captains and cutlasses, castles, maidens, daggers, danger; calls to arms, imagined loves, plaints and howls of injustice. \'Never did a publication create a greater scandal,\' Borel said, \'because it was a book written heart and soul, with no thought of anything else, and stuffed with gall and suffering\'. It was not reviewed. Now it is back. Σελίδες: 96, Διαστάσεις: 13.5x13.5cm
