«Récits fantastiques» is a collection of fantastic tales by Théophile Gautier, published by Parkstone Press in paperback (in French).
Beautiful women descend from tapestries and paintings to dance, love, or recover something forgotten; they travel through time into the dreams of men who fall in love. The fantastic, the grotesque, and the dreamlike combine in stories where reality overflows and Gautier's romantic imagination turns every scene into a vision.
The Parkstone edition (1994) is announced as «version intégrale», number 7; the original title of the work, «Contes et récits fantastiques», dates from 1859.
For readers interested in the classic fantastic tale, nineteenth-century French literature, and atmospheres between dream and horror.
Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic.
