Bücher von Theophile Gautier

Unverblümte Bekenntnisse, homoerotisches Knistern, laszive Spiele im Bärenfell - dieser Roman über eine schwungvolle Dreiecksbeziehung besticht durch seine Freizügigkeit. Er reflektiert zeitlose Themen wie Geschlechterrollen und Identitätskonflikte. Théophile Gautier, der passionierteste Ästhet der französischen Literatur, beherrscht wortgewaltige Tiraden ebenso wie konzise Pointen.Der junge Edelmann D'Albert schwankt zwischen sinnlosem Aktionismus und dekadenter Lethargie. Sein sehnlichster Wunsch: eine Geliebte. Doch kaum eine Frau könnte seinen verstiegenen Vorstellungen entsprechen. Als er in einem Salon die kecke Rosette kennenlernt, hat er zwar eine Gefährtin für seine sinnlichen Eskapaden. Aber trotz vereinzelter Glücksmomente wird er ihrer schnell überdrüssig. Da tritt der grazile Théodore de Sérannes auf den Plan. Rosette ist ihm sogleich erlegen, und auch D'Albert fühlt sich wie magisch zu ihm hingezogen. Sollte ein Mann seinen Traum von Vollkommenheit erfüllen? Oder verbirgt sich hinter dem androgynen Kavalier eine Mademoiselle? In der aufwühlenden Situation weiß D'Albert nur das Eine: Dieses Geschöpf muss er lieben.Neuübersetzung zum 200. Geburtstag des Autors am 30. August 2011

Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (1811 - 1872) was a French writer and critic.In his youth Gautier was an adherent of Romanticism, but later his work became difficult to classify and he remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. He rejected bourgeois everyday life saying that it is a kingdom of vulgar men and hucksters. He despised petit bourgeois moralizing and democratic ideological content in literature. This book of poems - Enamels and Cameos - is his last and some consider his most important work. It focusses on the beauty of everyday life, his poetry becoming compact and Gautier's poetry changes profoundly, becoming compact and stark, as Gautier explained, "treating tiny subjects in a severely formal way."He was widely esteemed by writers as diverse as Balzac, Baudelaire, the Goncourt brothers, Flaubert, Proust and Oscar Wilde.

Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic. While an ardent defender of Romanticism, Gautier''s work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. Captain Fracasse was published in 1863. It is an adventure novel set in the seventeenth century. The story has been adapted for film and television numerous times. The novel recounts the story of the baron of Sigognac during the reign of Louis XIII of France (reign 1610-1643), a destitute nobleman who decides to abandon his castle to join a theatrical troupe out of love of a young actress.

This volume gathers the weird and fantastic tales of Théophile Gautier (1811-1872), a pioneering French author whose weird work includes such distinctive tales as the Egyptian fantasies "One of Cleopatra's Nights" and "The Mummy's Foot," the classic vampire story "Clarimonde," and an entrancing novella of psychic transference, "Avatar." Gautier's tales feature a haunting fusion of eroticism and weirdness, in consonance with his view that the human female constituted the most exalted form of beauty in all creation. The evocative translations of Lafcadio Hearn and Edgar Saltus have been used in this volume. The Classics of Gothic Horror series seeks to reprint novels and stories from the leading writers of weird fiction over the past two centuries or more. Ever since the Gothic novels of the late 18th century, weird fiction has been a slender but provocative contribution to weird fiction. Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, the Victorian ghost story writers, the "titans" of the early twentieth century (Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft), the Weird Tales writers, and many others contributed to the development and enrichment of weird fiction as a literary genre, and their work deserves to be enshrined in comprehensive, textually accurate editions. S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on weird fiction, has done exactly that in establishing this series. Using scholarly resources honed over decades of wide-ranging research, he has assembled volumes featuring not only the complete weird writings of the authors in question, but exhaustive bio-critical introductions and bibliographical data.

The Salon that opened at the Palais National in Paris at the end of 1850 represented French art at its mid-century zenith. There were few critics of the Salon whose reviews were more eagerly awaited than Théophile Gautier, acclaimed author of Mademoiselle de Maupin, major poet, and brilliant critic. Peter Scacco's English translation of the complete series of Gautier's original twenty-three articles from La Presse sheds important light on the art and artists of France as it entered the second half of the nineteenth century. Mr. Scacco's Introduction gives the reader useful historical context, and a valuable Appendix, listing all works by Salon artists covered by Gautier, accompanied by their Salon catalogue numbers, follows the text. With Notes and Index of Artists.
