«Les villes tentaculaires» is the poetry collection by Émile Verhaeren published in paperback by Livre de Poche (91 pages, in French).
In the midst of the industrial revolution, a poet observes the city that grows and devours the countryside: factories roaring day and night, the stock exchange bustling at dawn, the bazaar and the port full of life. The collection blends disillusionment and fascination with the modern city, seen at once as a threat and a promise.
Les villes tentaculaires was originally published in 1895; this paperback edition from the Libretti collection appeared in 1995 and consists of 91 pages.
Aimed at French secondary school students and readers interested in poetry of the industrial era.
Émile Adolphe Gustave Verhaeren was a Belgian poet and art critic who wrote in the French language. He was one of the founders of the school of Symbolism and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on six occasions.
