Изкуството в изгнание

Rate this book
Жорж Роденбах (1855-1898) е белгийски френскоезичен писател-символист, познат на българския читател с произведенията си "Мъртвата Брюге" и "Звънарят". Родзенбах пръв от поетите на "Млада Белгия" предизвиква интереса на четящата публика зад граница към Фландрия и пръв от белгийските писатели придобива известност в Париж, където се сближава с Маларме, Маресл Пруст, Алфонс Доде и др.

"Изкуството в изгнание" (1899) е първата прозаична творба на поета, смятана за негова своеобразна автобиография.

Жан Рембранд, главният герой на романа, посветил живота си на поезията, живее във фламандския град Гент сякаш сред чужденци и се чувства като в изгнание. Романът е характерен за прозата на Роденбах - вкус към мистерията, свързване на пейзажа с действието, краен песимизъм. "Той ли беше виновен, че неговото изкуство, писателското изкуство, не му носеше никакви доходи в тази страна, в която изглежда никой не четеше?" - пита Роденбах.

About the author

Georges Rodenbach

74 books53 followers
Georges Rodenbach was born in Tournai to a French mother and a German father from the Rhineland (Andernach). He went to school in Ghent at the prestigious Sint-Barbaracollege, where he became friends with the poet Emile Verhaeren. Rodenbach worked as a lawyer and journalist. He spent the last ten years of his life in Paris as the correspondent of the Journal de Bruxelles, and was an intimate of Edmond de Goncourt. He published eight collections of verse and four novels, as well as short stories, stage works and criticism. He produced some Parisian and purely imitative work; but a major part of his production is the outcome of a passionate idealism of the quiet Flemish towns in which he had passed his childhood and early youth. In his best known work, Bruges-la-Morte (1892), he explains that his aim is to evoke the town as a living being, associated with the moods of the spirit, counselling, dissuading from and prompting action. Bruges-la-Morte was used by the composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold as the basis for his opera Die Tote Stadt. Albrecht Rodenbach, his cousin, was a poet and novelist as well, and a leader in the revival of Flemish literature of the 19th century.

Много тъжна книга, пропита с меланхолия и самота. Изключително красив и поетичен език с впечатляващ превод на Калоян Праматаров!
