About the author
Stefan George
106 books40 followersStefan Anton George was a German poet, editor and translator.
He spent time in Paris, where he was among the writers and artists who attended the Tuesday soireés held by the poet Stéphane Mallarmé. He began to publish poetry in the 1890s. George founded and edited an important literary magazine called Blätter für die Kunst. He was also at the center of an influential literary and academic circle known as the Georgekreis, which included many of the leading young writers of the day, (e.g., Friedrich Gundolf and Ludwig Klages). In addition to sharing cultural interests, the circle reflected mystical and political themes.
Stefan George died near Locarno in Switzerland. Although identified with an extreme conservatism in politics, George refused honors from the National Socialist regime, and following his death was interred before a delegation from the National Socialist government could attend the ceremony.[1]

November 16, 2010Algabal, trasposizione poetica di Eliogabalo, imperatore sacerdote, crea un mondo artificiale nella cui supposta perfezione sublima il divario incolmabile tra arte e vita.
Questa decadenza elevata a modello dei sensi trova accoglienza nella maniacale griglia formale dei versi di George.
Purezza che tuttavia non arriva a saziarmi.
