Le poète assassiné by Guillaume Apollinaire

"Le poète assassiné" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a collection of tales published in 1916. The stories explore recurring themes of personal memory, illegitimate birth, the poet's relationship with his mother, the myth of the dead yet eternal poet, failed love, and solitude. The title tale follows Croniamantal, a cursed poet who suffers betrayal and death, only to achieve apotheosis. Each story follows a similar structure: a being dies or disappears, then is reborn and reigns, allowing poetic recreation to repair real-life failure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
