«Fêtes galantes. Romances sans paroles, précédées de Poèmes saturniens» is Paul Verlaine's poetry collection (Flammarion, paperback, 224 pages).
It brings together three collections by Verlaine: Poèmes saturniens, Fêtes galantes and Romances sans paroles. In them, the cursed poet sings in a minor key a lyricism of the evanescent and of half-lit feelings; beneath gallant love emerges a melancholy without reason, an inner emptiness that runs through his entire work.
The edition belongs to the Étonnants Classiques collection from Flammarion, with the complete text in French.
For students of French literature and readers of nineteenth-century poetry who want to approach Verlaine in his original language.
Paul Marie Verlaine was a French poet, writer and critic associated with the Symbolist, Parnassianist and Decadent movements. He is considered one of the paramount exponents of the fin de siècle in French and international poetry.
