Les Chants de Maldoror (French Edition) Kindle Edition

French Edition by Isidore Lucien Ducasse (Comte De Lautréamont) (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Cette épopée se compose de six chants divisés en strophes. Poème en prose? Récit? Les Chants de Maldoror résistent à toute tentative de classification générique. Dans le sixième chant, Lautréamont parle, à quelques lignes de distance, de sa «poésie» et de ses «récits» et il avait même, un peu plus haut, employé le terme de «roman». Le texte est fondé sur une esthétique de la rupture : chaque strophe peut être lue comme un fragment poétique autonome et aucun fil linéaire, qu'il soit narratif, descriptif ou discursif, n'est suivi bien longtemps. Il s'agit d'un brûlot, «politiquement incorrect», qui ne fut pas du goût des bien-pensants de l'époque. Nourri de violences, d'idées morbides et de délire - peste, pus et poux... - ce texte énigmatique et fascinant, ce texte de la démesure donne le vertige, et parfois un peu la nausée...

An Unparalleled Literary Feast for the Imagination

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Maldoror is exquisite. Unlike any other novel, the only regret is this immortal author did not survive to see age 25. An unknown in his lifetime, Isidore Ducasse (Comte de Lautreamont was a pseudonym) was discovered and embraced by the 20th century Surrealists- who championed this as "the first Surrealist novel"- and by many, regarded as the finest imaginative effort ever to see print. "Maldoror" is unique, told in a language so rich as to beg belief. This timeless tale is tve rarest of literary jewels. "Maldoror" ranks among literature's most brilliant achievements. Not a single sentence fails to amaze. There is, quite literally, no other novel quite like it. A feast for the imagination, dripping with a shimmering beauty, drunk with imagry so rich as to be incomparable. This is, without exaggeration, a spectacular and unrivaled literary achievement. Nothing compares to "Maldoror" and no review can do it justice. It is unlike any other literary effort, this is an immortal triumph of ideas made magic in every page. Exquisite!

If you can read french this is the one for you

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

It's a free truly classic book and if you can read and understand french it's great. If you can read french but not understand it, it's still beautiful, If you can't read French, well then it's not of much value.

This version of the book is full if random characters as if it was poorly scanlated and never edited. I love the book itself though
