Voyage en Espagne
by Théophile Gautier
(
Book
)
159 editions published between 1843 and 2010 in 4 languages and held by 765 libraries worldwide In May 1840, [the author], the enfant terrible of the French Romantic movement, set off by coach from Paris for a journey to Spain. Hired by the journal La Presse to send back regular installments of his travelogue, [the author] recorded his experiences and impressions with extraordinary vividness and enthusiasm. The end result was the book Voyage en Espagne (1845), an enthralling piece of travel writing later translated into English as A Romantic in Spain. For [him], Spain promised the allure of an exotic and passionate culture; it was a revelation, he said later, like discovering his true home, the native land of his spirit. From the searing heat of the central plains of La Mancha, he journeyed to the olive groves and historic cities of Andalusia. Observing the vibrant street life of Madrid, he also explored the secret courtyards and Moorish buildings of Seville and Crdoba. Moving slowly by carriage, mule or wagon through Spain's vast landscapes, [he] came into contact with a rich panoply of people and places. Endlessly curious, he wrote with verve about architecture, bullfighting, costume and women, especially the manolas of Madrid and the cigareras of Seville who were also to inspire Mrime's Carmen. By turns lyrical and acerbic, [his] narrative reveals a Spain in transition, emerging from civil war and a feudal past into the modern world. It was a country plagued by bandits, where [he] endured fly-blown cafs and flea-ridden inns, but his passion for Spanish architecture, landscape, and music remained undimmed throughout his five-month journey. Even today, visitors to places as different as El Escorial or the Alhambra will appreciate the freshness and incisiveness of his writing.-Back cover.

Spirite : nouvelle fantastique
by Théophile Gautier
(
Book
)
115 editions published between 1865 and 2010 in 5 languages and held by 414 libraries worldwide ""Quoique son corps fût toujours près de la table, gardant la même attitude, Guy intérieurement était absent, évanoui, disparu. Une autre âme, ou du moins une autre pensée se substituait à la sienne et commandait à ces serviteurs qui, pour agir, attendent l'ordre du maître inconnu. Les nerfs de ses doigts tressaillirent et commencèrent à exécuter des mouvements dont il n'avait pas la conscience, et le bec de la plume se mit à courir sur le papier, traçant des signes rapides avec l'écriture de Guy légèrement modifiée par une impulsion étrangère." Cette relation mystérieuse est l'extraordinaire histoire d'amour fantastique entre une femme, devenue esprit, et un vivant qu'elle est venue chercher de l'extra-monde. Dans la lignée des Mortes-amoureuses d'Edgar Poe, elle conduit le lecteur du Paris enneigé sous le Second Empire jusqu'au Parthénon, miraculeusement reconstitué. Ce récit paraît en 1866, et témoigne, comme le montre ici Anne Geisler-Szmulewicz, de la vogue spirite qui touche alors son temps. Mais il se révèle surtout être la confidence d'un auteur arrivé au faîte de sa carrière de romancier, de critique et de poète, qui fait un retour sincère sur son expérience d'écrivain. Loin des truculences du Capitaine Fracasse et des provocations de Mademoiselle de Maupin, Gautier livre, à travers le parcours initiatique de Malivert, sa propre histoire, celle d'un écrivain déçu par la vulgarité de son temps mais qui conserve une foi intacte dans la puissance de l'art. Spirite constitue, à cet égard, un vibrant plaidoyer en faveur de la beauté."--P. [4] of cover.
