Overview
Poetry. Illustrated by Douglas Kinsey. Translated by Henry Weinfield. "The lovely Chimeras by G rard de Nerval (1808-1855), musical and mystical jewels and among the most refined and rarified verse pieces in French poetry, present a daunting challenge to the reader and a formidable challenge to the translator. As a writer himself of refined and elegant verse poetry, a critic and scholar of French literature and of Western literature in general, Weinfield brings to bear, in this undertaking, the indispensable constellation of art, skill, and knowledge, and the resulting translations capture fully the evocative power and mystical beauty of Nerval's poems. This is both an impressive accomplishment and a tremendous service to the Anglophone reader."--Alain Toumayan
