An Oasis of Horror: Decadent Tales and Contes Cruels
ISBN: 9781434402011 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Long after he was dead, French poet Charles Baudelaire inspired a Decadent Movement in France, which became definitive of fin de siecle sensibility. One of the historical and influential links between Baudelaire and the new Decadents was the Comte de Villiers de l'Isle Adam, who called the first of his own collections of Decadent prose Contes cruels, because they spurned conventional means of attaining literary closure by celebrating 'the irony of fate' -- the capacity that the course of events has for thwarting human ambition in a frankly mocking fashion.
