Summary

Marcel Schwob: Imaginary Biographies

"Imaginary Biographies" is one of the unique books from the end of the nineteenth century. It contains twenty-two portraits of separate human destinies through different epochs, beginning with Empedocles and ending with the murderers Burke and Hare. Subtly mixing genres, history and fiction, novella and poem in prose, criticism, essay and daydream, story and chronicle in order to find a form that will belong only to him, Marcel Schwob reached his pinnacle with this work. Schwob's attempt at an imaginary reconstruction of reality and an often ironic twist on erudition ends in a synthesis of realism and fantastic symbolism. The book significantly influenced Apollinaire, Breton, Leiris, Artaud. Borges, who read imaginary biographies at the age of twenty, would only later recognize himself as Schwob's student. Marcel Schwob (1867-1905), a mysterious French writer, is one of the great figures of Parisian literary life in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Originating from a highly cultured Jewish bourgeoisie, this lover of the work of Villon and Stevenson was forgotten for almost a whole century, only to see a great "return to Schwob" in recent years, with an impressive number of reprints and unabated critical interest. More important works: "The Double Heart", "The Book of Monelle", "The King with the Golden Mask...".
