A precursor of the symbolists and the surrealists, Nerval has fascinated many major literary figures, including Proust and Breton, Eliot and Apollinaire, Michaux and Leiris. The great sonnet cycle, \u003cem\u003eLes Chimères\u003c\/em\u003e, in its \u003cem\u003emarvellous\u003c\/em\u003e combination of spell, quest and dream, continues to fascinate writers, readers, and that special category of writerly readers, translators. The translator of this volume is the gifted poet Will Stone, who explains his work in a strongly-worded essay: \"like a partly submerged crocodile, with one amber eye half open the foreign line sits, waiting for the anxious translator to make a move.\" The book contains three other texts: a foreword by the poet, Anne Beresford, a general introduction to Nerval by Michael Hamburger (published for the first time in the previous edition of this book, some fifty years after it was written), and an afterword and notes on\u003cem\u003e Les Chimères\u003c\/em\u003e by Professor Norma Rinsler, the doyenne of English \u003cem\u003eNervaliens.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848614031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.15d","brand":"Gerard De Nerval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44391884357813,"sku":"9781848614031","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2680eede-a7d5-4f10-ba95-5de52c44b79b.jpg?v=1719949094","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/les-chimeres-9781848614031","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
