Básnické vyprávění rozdělení do tří částí. Alan je vychováván svou bábou uhlířkou v rozlehlém hvozdu a nedokáže si představit nic kromě zelených hlubin lesa. Po bouři, která skácí některé ze stromů, poprvé spatří noční nebe; od té doby touží vyjít z hvozdu ven na rovinu a také roznítit hvězdy. Bibliofilní vydání.

Poutavé vyprávění o životě Françoise Villona i době – 2. polovině 15. století ve Francii.

Výbor z próz (Mimy, 1893; Křížová výprava dětí, 1896; Podvojné srdce, 1891; Král se zlatou maskou, 1892; Knížka o Monelle, 1894; Smyšlené životy, 1896) francouzského prozaika, kritika a esejisty, nejtypičtějšího představitele francouzské symbolistické prózy. V básnických prózách sugestivně evokuje a básnickou vizí dotváří příběhy ze starých dob i současnosti, ukazuje tragiku událostí, vyjadřuje hrůzu z osudové nevyhnutelnosti a završuje vše lidsky soucitným pohledem.

Featuring a collection of short stories, this work marks the English debut of Marcel Schwob's "Double Heart," originally published in 1891. Each story was first showcased in the daily newspaper L'Écho de Paris, where Schwob was part of a group of writers tasked with delivering regular contributions. Translated by Brian Stableford, the collection offers a glimpse into Schwob's early literary style and the vibrant literary culture of his time.

"First published in French in 1892 and never before translated fully into English, The King in the Golden Mask gathers 21 of Marcel Schwob's cruelest and most erudite tales. Melding the fantastic with historical fiction, these stories describe moments of unexplained violence both historical and imaginary, often blending the two through Schwob's collaging of primary source documents into fiction. Brimming with murder, suicide, royal leprosy and medieval witchcraft, Schwob's stories portray clergymen furtively attending medieval sabbaths, Protestant galley slaves laboring under the persecution of Louis XIV and dice-tumbling sons of Florentine noblemen wandering Europe at the height of the 1374 plague. These writings are of such hallucinatory detail and linguistic specificity that the reader is left wondering whether they aren't newly unearthed historical documents. To read Schwob is to encounter human history in its most scintillating form as it comes into contact with this unparalleled imagination"--Page 4 of cover

Imaginary Lives remains, over 120 years since its original publication in French, one of the secret keys to modern literature: under-recognized, yet a decisive influence on such writers as Apollinaire, Borges, Jarry and Artaud, and more contemporary authors such as Roberto Bolaño and Jean Echenoz. Drawing from historical influences such as Plutarch and Diogenes Laërtius, and authors more contemporary to him such as Thomas De Quincey and Walter Pater, Schwob established the genre of fictional biography with this collection: a form of narrative that championed the specificity of the individual over the generality of history, and the memorable detail of a vice over the forgettable banality of a virtue.
