Krátky popis
In the late 19th century, a group of writers across Europe
challenged artistic and social convention to create stories steeped
in transgression, sensuality and obsession. Their work was radical,
daring and controversial, and it captured a unique feeling and
exciting atmosphere. Rich with aesthetic hedonism, this anthology
showcases the very best short stories from the movement.In ‘The
Nightingale and the Rose’, Oscar Wilde expertly captures the
decadent mood when a young student laments the futility of art,
Vernon Lee tells the story of a mysterious and beautiful woman who
brings strange misfortune to a coastal village in ‘Dionea’, ‘A
Funeral Oration’ by Jean Lorrain oozes with excess and indulgence,
‘Enoch Soames’ grapples with the fin-de-siecle fear of leaving no
legacy. From famous to lesser-known writers, there is no shortage
of drama, darkness and decay in this riveting collection. Classic
Stories from the Age of Decadence is part of the Macmillan
Collector’s Library: a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics
bound in cloth with ribbon markers.These beautiful books make
perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited
and introduced by writer and academic Jane Desmarais.
