Summary

Aloysius Bertrand: Gašpar Noćnik

After reading Gašpar Noćnik about twenty times, Baudelaire, as he admits in a letter to a friend, came up with the idea of trying to create something similar himself, so he speaks of Aloysius Bertrand as his mysterious and great role model who inspired him for The Splint of Paris. Interestingly, critics and audiences did not recognize the value of Gašpar Noćnik at the time it was published, in 1842, so the first edition sold only about twenty copies. The reason should be found in the fact that this work was ahead of its time and somewhat confused the reader accustomed to different aesthetic values. Bertrand's originality and creative power were manifested in a new area: he was the first to notice the possibility of a separate lyrical expression in prose and thus "invented" a literary genre - poetry in prose, as he thought of calling his prose, but poetically inspired compositions, far from established poetic rhythms. There are elements in "Noćnik's fantasies" that make the lyrical alchemy of this "enthusiast of beauty" literary alive and interesting, artistically current for almost two centuries, precisely modern. And the timeless modernity of Betrand's lyrics, the quality of which at one time enchanted Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Huysmans, Breton... still delights today's generation of readers as well, and even with the worst of will, Šareni dučan could not resist such a publishing challenge!
