Das Buch von Monelle by Marcel Schwob
QR code
"Das Buch von Monelle" by Marcel Schwob is a work published in 1894. The book centers on Monelle, a literary incarnation of Louise, a young woman who died of tuberculosis at age twenty-five. Considered the unofficial bible of French Symbolism, it blends prose poetry, parables, and short stories about marginalized young girls who embody innocence and contradiction. The work's three distinct sections are unified by Monelle's presence, creating Schwob's most cohesive achievement.
Biblical references and fairy tale reinterpretations permeate its prophetic language. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
