Charles Nodier

    29 avril 1780 – 27 janvier 1844

    Jean Charles Emmanuel Nodier, auteur français, a introduit une génération plus jeune de romantiques au conte fantastique, à la littérature gothique et aux récits de vampires. Il a également défendu l'importance des rêves dans la création littéraire. Sa carrière de bibliothécaire, souvent sous-estimée, a façonné son approche unique de l'écriture.

      The Vampyre is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori. The work is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction. The work is described by Christopher Frayling as "the first story successfully to fuse the disparate elements of vampirism into a coherent literary genre."

      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.
