«Un homme obscur. Une belle matinée» is the fiction volume by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Folio in paperback (240 pages, in French).
The volume brings together two stories by Marguerite Yourcenar set in seventeenth-century Holland. «Un homme obscur» follows Nathanaël, a simple man who observes the world with clarity and without pride, while «Une belle matinée» focuses on his son Lazare, a child who joins a Shakespearean theatre company and, through the Elizabethan dramas, lives multiple lives and characters.
The two narratives come from the last part of the French author's work.
Marguerite Yourcenar was a Belgian-born French novelist and essayist who became a US citizen in 1947. Winner of the Prix Femina and the Erasmus Prize, she was the first woman elected to the Académie Française, in 1980. In 1965, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
