«Poèmes saturniens suivi de Fêtes galantes» is the poetry collection by Paul Verlaine published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (220 pages, in French).
The book brings together two essential titles of nineteenth-century French poetry. In Poèmes saturniens, his first book, Verlaine deals with melancholy, the passage of time and the influence of Saturn. In Fêtes galantes, inspired by Watteau, he evokes scenes of gallantry and reverie under the moon, with an undertone of death and disillusionment.
With a preface by Léo Ferré.
Aimed at readers of nineteenth-century French poetry and those who wish to discover the work of Paul Verlaine.
Paul Marie Verlaine was a French poet, writer and critic associated with the Symbolist, Parnassianist and Decadent movements. He is considered one of the paramount exponents of the fin de siècle in French and international poetry.
