«El libro de Monelle» is a narrative work by Marcel Schwob, published by Books4pocket in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The work blends legends, aphorisms and fairy tales with a nihilistic philosophy, in a style reminiscent of the Brothers Grimm and Nietzsche. After the death of his beloved Louise, Schwob turns her into Monelle, a prophet of destruction, and presents several young women who become disillusioned, divided between childhood fantasy and a bitter reality.
The work originally appeared in French under the title Le Livre de Monelle in 1894. This Spanish edition belongs to the Narrativa collection from Books4pocket.
For readers of French classics and symbolist narrative, with an interest in philosophical tales and 19th-century poetic prose.
