Monsieur de Bougrelon
Jean Lorrain
Synopsis "Monsieur de Bougrelon"
Set in the French Belle Époque, this novel is a masterpiece of fin-de-siècle aesthetics. The affable and talkative Monsieur de Bougrelon is a French expatriate living in Amsterdam, an old dandy who lies forgotten in the midst of a century defined by luxury and vices. Having become a mere puppet taking refuge among ghosts, he encourages two French travelers to stay in Amsterdam, serving as their tour guide to the foggy city and revealing to them a completely different reality than might first be apparent. Con la Belle Époque francesa de trasfondo, esta novela es una obra magistral de la estética fin-de-siècle. El genial charlatán Monsieur de Bougrelon es un expatriado francés viviendo en Ámsterdam, un viejo dandi olvidado en un siglo de lucro y de vicios. Habiéndose convertido en un mero fantoche refugiado en medio de fantasmas, alienta la estancia en Ámsterdam de dos viajeros franceses, sirviéndoles de guía a la ciudad nebulosa y revelándoles una realidad completamente diferente de la que se ve a primera vista.
