About this eBook

Author Bertrand, Aloysius, 1807-1841
Title Gaspard de la nuit: Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot
Credits Produced by Marc D'Hooghe.
Summary "Gaspard de la nuit: Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot" by Louis Bertrand is a collection of poetic fantasies written in the mid-19th century. The work blends rich imagery and philosophical musings on art and existence, exploring themes of beauty, loss, and the nature of creativity. The narrative appears to follow a poetic protagonist as he interacts with various characters, including a mysterious neighbor who shares his musings on art and life. The opening of the narrative introduces the setting of Dijon, blending elements of nostalgia and longing as the speaker reflects on the beauty of its Gothic architecture and the transience of youth and poetry. As he sits in a garden, he encounters a shabby stranger who seems to embody artistic struggles. Their conversation reveals deep questions about the essence of art, sentiment, and personal experience. The distinction between the pursuit of art and the bittersweet realities of existence become central themes as they delve into discussions about life, love, and creativity, hinting at the extensive explorations to come in the rest of the collection.
