Their safety is jeopardized by a plantation overseer threatening their freedom. The novella, written by Desbordes-Valmore in 1821, is explored by Deborah Jenson and Doris Kadish, who provide insights into its autobiographical elements, political context, and literary significance, enriching the reader's understanding of the narrative's complexities.
Marceline Desbordes Valmore Libri
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore fu una poetessa francese i cui versi malinconici ed elegiaci sono ammirati per la loro grazia e profonda emozione. Il suo lavoro si addentra spesso in temi oscuri e deprimenti, riflettendo la sua stessa vita travagliata. È notevolmente l'unica scrittrice inclusa nella famosa antologia di Paul Verlaine, Les poètes maudits. La sua voce distintiva e il suo significato letterario la rendono una figura avvincente della poesia francese.

Kniha je u nás prvním chronologickým výborem z autorčina díla, jejímž inspiračním zdrojem byl vlastní neutěšený život. Básně jsou členěny do několika oddílů – Romance a elegie, Nové básně, Nářky, Chudé kvítí, Kytice a modltby, Básně vydané posmrtně. Do části Chudé kvítí byla včleněna i báseň Na ulici, kterou se za autorčina života neopovážil žádný vydavatel vydat.
Inspirací tvorby této francouzské básnířky byly celoživotní vzpomínky na první osudovou lásku k muži, který ji opustil a jehož jméno nikdy nikomu neprozradila. Její poezie je něžná, komorní, naprosto přirozená. Hugo ji nazval „královnou světa citů“ a Verlaine ji jako „nejgeniálnější a nejnadanější ženu století“ zařadil mezi prokleté básníky po bok Mallarméa a Rimbauda. Doslov Václav Černý. 4., rozš. vyd.
