Aurélia et autres textes autobiographiques by Gérard de Nerval
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Four stars only for the confusing succession of notices and notes, sliced and spread out throughout the book. I would have preferred to have them held in one place - but other, less easily distracted readers will not find it an issue. This collection of works is indispensable for whoever is interested in the rising of the subject at the centre of our societies in the XIXth century. It links beautifully Rousseau and Chateaubriand to Proust and Cendrars.
