Extrait : "L'eau sage s'est enclose en des cloisons de verre D'où le monde lui soit plus vague et plus lointain ; Elle est tiède, et nul vent glacial ne l'aère ; Rien d'autre ne se mire en ces miroirs sans tain Où, seule, elle se fait l'effet d'être pus vaste Et de se prolonger soi-même à l'infini..."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN : Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants : Fiction : roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin.

Bruges-la-morte

Literature

5.0

Dedalus should be treasured: a small independent publisher that regularly produces works of European genius at which the behemoths wouldn't sniff. If the corporations did care to look at this new work, they would find, on the surface, a precursor to W G Sebald, a Symbolist vision of the city that lays the way for Aragon and Joyce, and a macabre story of obsessive love and transfiguring horror that is midway between Robert Browning and Tod Browning. Bruges, an amalgam of greyish drowsiness", is the setting and spur; Hugues is a widower who finds a dancer nearly identical to his lost love. "Nearly" is here the operative word. This is a little masterpiece, from a brave publisher. If only Scotland could boast the same." S.B.Kelly in Scotland on Sunday
