The Fairy of Breadcrumbs

A collection of charming literary tales by Charles Nodier, a French bibliophile, publicist, and writer, known for his contribution to the formation of the romantic style in classical French literature. In his works, unbridled fantasy is combined with social criticism,... and sentimental reflections are juxtaposed with sharp, almost caustic descriptions of the realities of the early 19th century. Whimsical characters evoke the world of Ernst T. A. Hoffmann, while the plots range from dark ghost stories to playful phantasmagorias. The rich literary language, wonderfully conveyed by celebrated translators, makes Nodier's novellas delightful reading, generously seasoned with the author's charm and spiced with a unique French flair. The book will delight not only fans of romantic literature but also connoisseurs of gothic mystique, as well as those interested in the history of France.
