Opis: Stories (Classic Reprint) - Gautier Th?ophile

Excerpt from Stories

Thophile Gautier was born at Tarbes on August 20, 1811, and taken to Paris in 1814. He was sent to school when he was eight, but, being unable to bear his isolation, was taken away and sent as a day-boy to the Lyce Charlemagne, though he learned mostly from his father. He was introduced as a youth to Victor Hugo, and took a prominent part in the theatre battle between Classicists and Romanticists on the presentation of Hernani, February 25, 1830. His first book, of poetry, was published in the same year, his second in 1832, and Les Jeunes France, a book of spirited tales, in 1833. Then, being asked for a sensational romance, he wrote Mademoiselle de Maupin, almost under compulsion. His father used to lock him up and tell him he should not be let out till he had written ten pages. The book was published in 1836. From this time till his death he wrote continually for the papers, and published books almost every year, of which the most important are maux et Cames, Romans et Contes, Le Capitaine Fracasse, Nouvelles, and Le Roman de la Momie, and a series of volumes of travels. He died on June 23, 1872. His Histoire du Romantisme was published after his death, as well as several volumes made up of articles he had contributed to newspapers and reviews.
