Paperback. Condizione: New. Rodenbach is known first and foremost for his famous novel Bruges la Morte. Bruges was his muse and poetic source, the landscape in which he attempted to reveal the significance of what appeared lifeless or unconnected to art. Using the symbolist devices of suggestion and mood, Rodenbach sifts the elements that make up the decaying Bruges which he sees as a medieval corpse laid out for him to 'rescue' through his interpretation of its atmosphere of melancholy, its seductive romantic decline and its lonely atmosphere. With rare beauty and delicacy, Rodenbach's poetry spins its web of tonal impressionism and seems always to exist on the border of silence.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is the first English translation of one of Georges Rodenbach's most important prose works by the highly acclaimed translator Mike Mitchell. This long nouvelle is supplemented by shorter pieces from the collection Le Rouet des brumes, briefs episodes of love and death in characteristically atmospheric settings. Hans Cadznad's father dies when he is an infant and he becomes the centre of his mother's life. As he grows up from a pretty child to a serious young man with deep religious convictions, she hopes she will remain in the centre of his life. She sees his desire to enter holy orders as a threat to their life together and tries to keep him near by marrying him off to the daughter of her close friend. This plan founders on the rock of his 'vocation', but then Mevr. Cadez engages the beautiful and experienced Ursula as housemaid. AUTHOR: Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) was born in Tournai, spending most of his time in Ghent and later Paris. He was a typical artist of the decadent period, unfailingly anti-bourgeois and solitary, an aesthete suffering an undisclosed malady of the spirit, a palpable ennui or spleen. Rodenbach, although primarily a poet, is best remembered today for his two novels which are both set in Bruges: Bruges-la-Morte (1892) and The Bells of Bruges (1897) and both translated for Dedalus by Mike Mitchell. Hans Cadzand's father dies when he is an infant and he becomes the centre of his mother's life.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bruges-la-Morte, which first appeared in 1892, concerns the fate of Hugues Viane, a widower who has turned to the melancholy, decaying city of Bruges as the ideal location in which to mourn his wife and as a suitable haven for the narcissistic perambulations of his inexorably disturbed spirit. Bruges, the 'dead city', becomes the image of his dead wife and thus allows him to endure, to manage the unbearable loss by systematically following its mournful labyrinth of streets and canals in a cyclical promenade of reflection and allusion. The story itself centres around Hugues' obsession with a young dancer whom he believes is the double of his beloved wife. The consequent drama leads Hugues onto a plank walk of psychological torment and humiliation, culminating in a deranged murder. This is a poet's novel and is therefore metaphorically dense and visionary in style. It is the ultimate evocation of Rodenbach's lifelong love affair with the enduring mystery and haunting mortuary atmosphere of Bruges. AUTHOR: Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) born in Tournai, spent most of his time in Ghent and later Paris where like his childhood friend and Flemish compatriot Emile Verhaeren, he rubbed shoulders with all the main players of the symbolist fin de siecle. But Rodenbach is forever associated with Bruges, the location for his most celebrated and enduring work. He also wrote a number of collections of poetry of which 'Le Regne du silence' from 1891 in many ways prefigures Bruges-La-Morte. A further novel 'Le Carilloneur' 1897 (translated by Dedalus as The Bells of Bruges) is also set in Bruges. Several books of short stories such as Hans Cadzand's Vocation and Other Stories (Dedalus 2011 ) , prose poems, and a range of essays on figures such as Rodin, Monet, Huysmans, Verlaine and Mallarme attest to a prodigious talent. Rodenbach was a typical artist of the decadent period, unfailingly anti-bourgeois, solitary, an aesthete suffering some undisclosed malady of the spirit, a palpable ennui or spleen. But Rodenbach was very much a modern poet too and his precise, delicate, yet existentially muscular poems are still of much relevance today. It is the ultimate evocation of Rodenbach's lifelong love affair with the enduring mystery and haunting mortuary atmosphere of Bruges.
