A year after this book came out in 1854, its author hanged himself from a lamppost with an apron-string that he had nicknamed 鈥楾he Queen of Sheba's garter鈥�. G茅rard de Nerval was not a well man 鈥� although if you're going to be a tragic French Romantic poet, this is an excellent way of asserting your credentials. If you only know one fact about him, it's probably that he had a pet lobster called Thibault whom he used to take for walks around the Palais Royal gardens on the end of a blue ribbon. Sadly it seems like this story may turn out to be apocryphal, but whatever, it sums him up pretty well.
Les Filles du feu is a collection of seven short stories and twelve sonnets. The stories are wild and weird and the sonnets are sublime. Their settings are split between the Valois in France and the Naples area of Italy, and each story is named after a woman 鈥� so that when I started reading this I wondered if it would be similar to Barbey d'Aurevilly's Les Diaboliques, which is also a collection of short stories about femmes fatales. But the mood here is utterly different. G茅rard's heroines are ethereal, oneiric creatures whose personalities shift and fracture under direct attention. There is never only one of them: always some doubling of love interest, a blonde and a brunette, an innocent friend and a worldly seductress, a town girl and a country wench; but at the same time a very strong impression that they are all just the same single person, refracted into different characters.
It's often hard not to see this multiple-personality disorder as an aspect of G茅rard's unstable state of mind. I mean it does genuinely feel like something pathological rather than a literary device. The most intense example is the story called 鈥極ctavie鈥�. It's only nine pages long, but it involves no fewer than four different women, several time periods, and a handful of different countries, all of which seem to shift and fade into each other. I read it in a caf茅 just after I bought the book and I was so confused when I finished I thought I'd forgotten all my French.
When it works, though, it's very very moving. The instability of time and character makes G茅rard especially good on the subject of how memory works, especially memories of lost love. It's no surprise that Proust adored 鈥楽ylvie鈥�, the best-controlled and most famous story in the collection, calling it 鈥榓 model of sickly unease鈥�. I actually preferred 鈥楽ylvie鈥� to anything I've read in Proust himself. The plot is typical: our narrator returns from Paris to his home village in the Valois, as part of an attempt to get over his infatuation with an actress (Aur茅lia). But going home brings him back in contact with his childhood sweetheart (Sylvie), as well as reawakening memories of a third woman (Adrienne) whom he glimpsed once at a childhood fair and has never forgotten.
It's not easy to explain why this feverish paean to unrequited love is so moving, except that there's something about the way time and place and person keep shifting here that perfectly matches the way your mind works when you're lying awake at three in the morning thinking about stuff like this. A lot of the pleasure also has to do with the very beautiful descriptive passages 鈥� I particularly loved the long scene where the narrator remembers visiting Sylvie's aunt's house with her and playing dress-up in her old clothes:
I said that these stories were split between Naples and the Valois, but there's one notable exception 鈥� the one called 鈥楯emmy鈥�. Have a look at this and imagine what a jolt it is for a reader to suddenly reach this story after two hundred pages of dreamy French symbolism:
What the鈥�?! Could there be anything less Nervalian than this Old West anecdote about settlers in Ohio?! G茅rard actually adapted this story from the Austrian-American writer Charles Sealsfield, but it turns out to fit his themes pretty well 鈥� again we have multiple doubling effects going on, a hero with two wives, a heroine with two husbands. Jemmy is also my favourite of all G茅rard's titular females. She doesn't take any shit. When she's kidnapped by Indians, she escapes and travels for twenty days on her own to get back to civilisation, fighting off bears and living on papaw and wild chestnuts. It is the strangest feeling in the world to read this gruff piece of obscure Americana in a book by a French Romantic poet, and I am very grateful for the experience.
There is something very unsettling about this whole collection 鈥� a feeling that you are in the mind of someone who is losing their grip on reality. Doubtless it's just because we know what happened afterwards, but you can't escape the sense that the ground is very unstable under your feet in G茅rard's stories, and that personality is gradually breaking apart 鈥� until at the end he comes loose from prose altogether, and floats off into poetry. The poems which close the book are untranslateable and incomprehensible. I loved them.
A note on translations: this collection isn't in print in English in its entirety and hasn't been translated for decades, but it looks like three of the stories are in the Penguin Selected Writings (sadly not including 鈥楯emmy鈥�) and I think some more are in Exact Change Press's Aur茅lia and other writings. I recommend checking them out, and I recommend taking a good brisk walk in the sunshine afterwards.

鈥'茅taient les deux moiti茅s d'un seul amour. L'une 茅tait l'id茅al sublime, l'autre la douce r茅alit茅.
(They were two halves of a single love. One was the sublime ideal, the other the sweet reality.)

And Sylvie had already unfastened her calico dress and let it fall to her feet. The old aunt's dress fitted perfectly around Sylvie's slim waist; she told me to do her up. 鈥極h! What funny flat sleeves,鈥� she said. And yet the sleeves, decorated with lace, showed off her bare arms admirably, her neckline framed by the high bodice with yellowing tulle and faded ribbons that had only barely tightened around the vanished charms of her aunt. 鈥楪et on with it! Don't know you how to fasten a dress?鈥� Sylvie was saying.

It so happened that a little while later, one fine December evening, Toffel saddled his dapple-gray stallion and, at a steady trot, climbed the winding paths that still today lead from Toffelsville to the high country, across the Ohio mountains.

Gerard de Nerval (real name Gerard Labrunie, 1808-1855) was one of the early French Romantic authors; he became mentally ill and was in and out of institutions; the stories in this book were written in between stays, shortly before he committed suicide (or was killed by robbers, according to some of his friends.)
This book consists of a preface in the form of a rather bizarre letter to Alexandre Dumas, five short stories, two essays, and a one act play, completed by a short appendix of poems called Les Chimeres.
I began reading Umberto Eco's Six walks in the fictional woods, and in the first chapter he said he would be discussing throughout the book Nerval's Sylvie, which he called "perhaps the best book ever written." So I downloaded a pdf of that and read it; when I tried to find it on Shelfari to enter my review I discovered it was part of this collection, which I had in a box of books I bought at a used bookstore last Christmas, and read the rest of the book.
The first and longest story is "Angelique"; it is the story of a scholar looking for a book in various libraries and bookstores, and either not finding it or finding that it is a different book (shades of Italo Calvino!). The story seems almost postmodernist, reminiscent of Calvino and Eco himself, and I was surprised it wasn't this story which he was enthusiastic about.
The second and second longest is "Sylvie, Souvenirs du Valois". This story begins with a young man, on the verge of middle age, who has a crisis of revulsion from his life in Paris and returns to a small town in Valois to try to rekindle a relationship with the girlfriend of his adolescence. The story continues in flashbacks or reminiscences which show what he had and let slip away. The story is good, well-written and entertaining, with much -- perhaps too much, for my taste -- Romantic description of landscapes, and frequent allusions to Rousseau. However, it was certainly not one of best things I've ever read, and I'm interested in going back to the Eco book to find out what he saw in it that I missed.
The remaining stories were good, but not anything really out of the ordinary; together they made a sampler of nearly all the common themes of Romantic literature. A book I liked and am glad to have read, but not one I will be going around urging others to read.

Pr茅c茅d茅 d鈥檜ne d茅dicace 脿 Alexandre Dumas, o霉 Nerval 茅voque les 茅pitaphes de sa mort et de son esprit, car vint un temps o霉 on l鈥檃 cru mort et un autre o霉 on l鈥檃 cru fou, ce recueil de textes en prose, suivi de quelques po猫mes, a quelque chose de fascinant, de surprenant, de magique.
De l鈥檈nsemble, on ne retirera 茅videmment pas grand-chose de pr茅cis pour la vie pratique, mais plut么t diverses impressions pleines de douces r锚veries po茅tiques.
Son auteur a quelque chose d鈥檜nique et de vraiment myst茅rieux puisqu鈥檌l n鈥檃ppara卯t nulle part d鈥檜ne mani猫re d茅finie. Il dispara卯t en effet toujours derri猫re divers styles emprunt茅s qu鈥檌l s鈥檃pproprie si parfaitement qu鈥檕n dirait qu鈥檌l y joue 脿 chaque fois tout son 锚tre sans qu鈥檜ne v茅ritable personnalit茅 s鈥檈n d茅gage.

La 芦 folie 禄, d鈥檜n 锚tre vide de soi ... voil脿 qui fait pour moi tout le charme de l鈥檃pparition v茅ritablement fantomale que constitue ce joli receuil.

Nerval est un romancier fran莽ais,lors des derniers jour de vie,en souffrant d'une maladie mentale,a 茅crit ce livre.
Ce qui signifie le choix du titre en premier lieu et Certaines id茅es incompr茅hensibles
Cet ouvrage se divise en deux parties:
* Les Chim猫res : elle traduit clairement,sa d茅finition : id茅es sans rapport avec la r茅alit茅,r锚ve et illusion, sinc猫rement j'ai rien compris plusieurs verres mais j'aime le style romantisme d'茅criture.
* Les filles du feu: par contre j'ai bien aim茅e la deuxi猫me partie, o霉 il d茅signe des femmes par des pr茅noms tr猫s romantique, en rapport parfois par sa vie sentimentale r茅el ( c'est 脿 dire les femmes qui les aim茅es et rencontr茅s ) ou bien des femmes imaginaire et mythique.
Pour Nerval la femme est une flamme avec les points positives et n茅gatives de ce d茅finitions.
Elle est la bont茅 et la m茅chancet茅 en m锚me personne.
Je suis fascin茅e de style romantisme et l'originalit茅 de ce po猫te.

Telles sont les chim猫res qui charment et 茅garent au matin de la vie. J鈥檃i essay茅 des les fixer sans beaucoup d鈥檕rdre, mais bien des c艙urs me comprendront. Les illusions tombent l鈥檜ne 芒pres l鈥檃utre, comme les 茅corces d鈥檜n fruit, et le fruit c鈥檈st l鈥檈xp茅rience. Sa sauveur est am猫re, elle a pourtant quelque chose d鈥櫭re qui fortifie鈥攓u鈥檕n me pardonne ce style vieilli.

A truly wonderful book with little strange novellas and 12 of the greatest poems ever written in French literature, according to Proust.

Several wonderful short stories, 'Sylvie' stands out as Nerval's masterpiece.
December 16, 2020
Sylvie reste un de mes r茅cits pr茅f茅r茅s, d鈥檜ne po茅sie et d鈥檜ne m茅lancolie ind茅passables. Les autres r茅cits 茅taient moins envo没tants mais les sonnets des Chim猫res, dans leur myst猫re, sont une v茅ritable musique. En revanche, lire cette 茅dition annot茅e de A 脿 Z en me reportant progressivement 脿 chaque note n鈥櫭﹖ait pas la meilleure mani猫re de bien go没ter le texte, surtout que l鈥檌nt茅r锚t des notes en question est assez relatif

Nerval writes one of the most powerful poetic works I鈥檝e ever read, his thoughts are transmitted take form in both sonnets and poetic novellas.
I don鈥檛 know why I connect with his work so much, but there鈥檚 something profoundly striking about what he says and how he says it.

Nerval鈥檌n duygulu d眉nyas谋na bir giri艧 gibiydi. Ama san谋yorum beni be臒endi臒im bir tarz de臒ildi. Biraz zor okudum diyebilirim. Olduk莽a k谋sa olmas谋na ra臒men.

Tent茅e par les po猫mes oniriques de Les chim猫res, et particuli猫rement le sublime po猫me de El Desdichado (que j'ai fini par apprendre par coeur), j'ai voulu me mettre au recueil de nouvelles Les filles du feu. Le titre y jouait pour beaucoup (peut 锚tre car il me rappelait Portrait de la jeune fille en feu?).
Malheureusement, j'avais de grandes attentes et j'ai 茅t茅 bien d茅莽ue. Certaines histoires 茅taient sans int茅r锚t et j'ai fini par m'ennuyer, les seules histoires qui tiennent la route 茅tant celles de Sylvie et la courte pi猫ce de Corilla.
