Synopsis "Paul Verlaine"
PAUL VERLAINEBy Stefan ZweigEdited by Andrew JaryPaul Verlaine is one of the great lyrical French poets. This study by Stefan Zweig offers a survey of his poetry and a biography, including his famous friendship with Arthur Rimbaud. Paul Verlaine (1844-1896) is one of the great 19th century French poets, part of the group that included Charles Baudelaire, Lautréamont, Gérard de Nerval and of course Arthur Rimbaud. Many of Verlaine's most significant poems are collected in this book, and Verlaine emerges as a highly accomplished artist, with a lyrical rhyming style that's wholly his own (and it sounds particularly beautiful in French - Verlaine is tricky to translate). This edition of Stefan Zweig's monograph includes a selection of Paul Verlaine's best-known poems, including 'Poetic Art', 'Claire de Lune', 'It's Raining In My Heart', 'C'est l'extase langoureuse' and 'Spleen'. With the French text opposite the English translations. Illustrated. 112pp. www.crmoon.com
(Viena, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brasil, 1942) escritor muy popular, tanto en su faceta de ensayista y biógrafo como en la de novelista, fue uno de los escritores más polifacéticos de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Su capacidad narrativa, la pericia y la delicadeza en la descripción de los sentimientos y la elegancia de su estilo lo convierten en un narrador fascinante. Se relacionó con los grandes autores de su tiempo: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H. G. Wells, Tagore, entre otros. Tras algunas décadas en las que sus obras se vieron inexplicablemente ignoradas, Zweig ha sido recuperado y actualmente goza del prestigio y la popularidad que por justicia literaria le correspondía.
