The Story of the King of Bohemia and his Seven Castles

More about the book

The narrative explores the surreal and avant-garde, presenting a unique blend of incoherence and purpose that reflects the nature of dreams. Charles Nodier's work, a precursor to later literary movements, challenges conventional storytelling with its dreamlike logic and artistic wit. This edition not only features the main story but also includes three supplementary texts that delve into themes of sleep and imagination, enhancing the reading experience with biographical fantasies and an essay on dreams.
