Description

This extensive anthology of "horror" French prose offers a fairly broad panorama of Gothic literature. It opens with the repeatedly translated and republished "The Devil in Love" by Jacques Cazotte - the same Cazotte famous for his prophecy of the horrors of the French Revolution - and closes with two short stories by Guy de Maupassant. Among the authors are writers well known in Russia, such as Borel, Gautier and Gérard de Nerval, as well as some entirely unknown ones. Many of the stories are being published for the first time. We would like to draw readers' attention to two early works by Balzac, which are usually lost amid his monumental sagas. The compiler of the book and the author of the introductory article is S. Zenkin, one of the leading authorities on French literature in Russia today, and this can serve as a guarantee of the edition's quality.
