This is Gérard de Nerval's *Aurélia, or Dream and Life*, translated by Tomokazu Shinoda (Shicho-sha). This is Nerval's late work, depicting in a poetic and symbolic style the pain of losing his beloved Aurélia, the blows of fate, and the wanderings of a soul adrift in madness and travel. It is a work that sublimates his experience of being hospitalized in a mental institution into literature, and is considered a unique book in the history of world literature. Recommended for those interested in fantasy literature, Romantic literature, and the literature of the mind and dreams. *Please note that this is a used book, and as shown in the last photo, there is a stain on the obi (sleeve). There may also be yellowing and wear due to age. *Please check the condition in the images and purchase only if you understand and accept the condition.
