«Bruges-la-Morte» is the novel of Belgian symbolism by Georges Rodenbach, published by Éditions Labor in paperback (170 pages, in French).
The widower Hugues Viane settles in Bruges, given over to a melancholy that finds an echo in the city's canals and towers. His mourning turns to obsession when he meets a woman with a disturbing resemblance to his deceased wife. The city thus becomes a reflection of the soul and a witness to the past.
The novel was originally published in 1892. This 1986 French edition includes a reading by Christian Berg.
For readers interested in European symbolism, Belgian literature and stories where the city acts as a character.
