Faces of the devil. D’Orevilles Jules Barbe

Jules Barbe d'oreville's work (1808-1889), like the entire 19th century, is colored by romanticism, “dendism”, naturalism, decadence and symbolism at the same time. Dialectics, search, demonism and Catholic ferocity - “resemble Reskina and anticipate the Huisans” (M. Kuzmin). The famous and unknown - this writer is now presented, but at the beginning of the 20th century the symbolists were impressed by the aesthetics and poetry of this writer, he was quoted and Ellis, Voloshin, and White are addressing him. The collection includes stories from the cycle "The Faces of the Devil" and "Devil's masks."
