Více o produktu ↓
nové vydání klasické anglické četby Vathek (1786), originally written in French, remains one of the
strangest eighteenth-century novels and one of the most difficult to
classify. Perverse and grotesque comedy alternates with scenes of
'oriental' magnificence and evocative beauty in the story of the
ruthless Caliph Vathek's journey to superb damnation among the
subterranean treasures of Eblis. Underlying the elegant prose is a
strong element of self-indulgent personal fantasy on the part of
Beckford, youthful millionaire, dreamer, and eventually social outcast.
Byron, Poe, Mallarmé, and Swinburne are some of the literary figures
who have admired Vathek's imaginative power.
The text
follows that of the 'Third Edition' of 1816, in which Beckford
extensively revised and
corrected Samuel Henley's original English translations from the
French. The elaborate notes retained by Beckford in 1816 are also
included.
