Charles Nodier

    29 de abril de 1780 – 27 de enero de 1844

    Jean Charles Emmanuel Nodier fue un autor francés que introdujo a una generación más joven de románticos en el conte fantastique, la literatura gótica y los relatos de vampiros. También defendió la importancia de los sueños en la creación literaria. Su carrera, a menudo subestimada como bibliotecario, moldeó su enfoque único de la escritura.

      Exploring the early works of Charles Nodier, this collection highlights his contributions to the French Romantic Movement during Napoleon's rule. The novellas, including "The Outlaws" and "The Painter of Salzburg," reveal his proto-Romantic style influenced by Goethe's Werther. Featuring disillusioned heroes and rich sentimentalism, these stories provide insight into Nodier's complex literary evolution. Translated by Brian Stableford, this compilation showcases the philosophical depth and emotional intensity that characterize Nodier's unique narrative voice.

      Outlaws and Sorrows
    • We were an ordinary family. I loved Daniel deeply and I was sure - he loved me deeply, too. And we both loved our kids deeply (I thought). But I never for a moment dreamt that my family was all that extraordinary - until that day when Tamsin, our fifteen-year-old daughter broke down and told me that her father had been sexually abusing her.

      Již třetí výbor z tvorby výlučného francouzského romantika Charlese Nodiera (1770–1844) zahrnuje prózu Jedna hodina aneb Vidění (1806), kde se u Nodiera vůbec poprvé objevuje motiv duševně vyšinutého jedince; povídku Jean François Modrá punčocha (1833) jako ranou vzpomínku na mladého génia, který se „zbláznil z přílišné přemoudřelosti“; moralitu Paul aneb Podobnost (1836) s motivem dvojníka a rozsáhlejší novelu Slečna de Marsan (1832), kde vypravěč vzpomíná na účast v činnosti tajné italské společnosti i na platonickou lásku k slečně de Marsan, jež dramaticky spojila svůj osud s ušlechtilým bojem národů proti Napoleonovým výbojům. Próza v kulisách polorozpadlého šlechtického sídla prokletého rodu Cenciů, kde podle ústní tradice řádí nečisté síly, má v nodierovské tradici zcela racionální vyústění.
