Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Théophile Gautier, Vol. 9 This was all to the author's advantage, for no word of the story was yet down on paper, though no doubt much of the novel existed in his mind, and it needed only a definite contract, binding him hard and fast to complete the work in a given time, to induce him to put it into definite and tangible form.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Theophile Gautier, Vol. 2 But if Gautier could not and did not seek to wholly reverse the judgments of Boileau, he succeeded in making the readers of his own and of succeeding generations appreciate in these minor poets many a forgotten beauty, and in giving such vivid reproduc tions of the men and their times that every one, Cyrano de Bergerac, saint-amant, Scarron, and the others actually live in his pages. He has written criticisms keen, bright, interesting; full of brilliant passages, of evocations of bygone times, of restoration of forgotten modes of thought; he has made intel ligible the fame which most of these men enjoyed in their day, -and all this without once wearying the reader, but, on the contrary, maintaining his interest and exciting his curiosity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Theophile Gautier, Vol. 9: The Louvre The Museum of the Louvre, one of the very richest in Europe, was founded by the Convention, but fine collections Of paintings, drawings, and other works Of art existed in France long before that time. At that marvellous epoch called the Renaissance, Francis I, to whom the modern Louvre owes its existence, began to collect paintings and strove to found a school of artists inspired by Italian ideals. Andrea del Sarto was intrusted by him with large sums for the purchase Of masterpieces; del Sarto squandered the money, but Primaticcio, the next to be selected, fulfilled his com mission more honourably. Leonardo da Vinci, Peru gino, Raphael, Titian are now represented by works acquired by the knightly King. Catherine de' Medici and Cardinal Mazarin were both great collectors every one knows the clever way in which the latter managed to procure the Barberini Correggio. Louis XIV, whose love Of pomp somewhat narrowed his views on art, added many valuable works. It was his secretary, Colbert, who negotiated the purchase Of the famous Jabach collection. Versailles, Fontainebleau, the Tuileries, the Luxembourg, were full Of rare and precious works Of art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Theophile Gautier, Vol. 6 Spirite" is a standing proof of Gautier's versatility, for the subject of the tale is not one that would usually appeal to his intense love of plastic beauty. However, the possibilities of spiritual beauty that must necessarily be expressed in terms of earthly loveliness, and the attraction he could not readily resist, combined to induce him to try his hand at writing at a tender, delicate, ideal, and dreamy poem in prose. He succeeded, as the perusal of the story conclusively proves, in creating a very lovely and winsome character, that of Lavinia d'Audefini, the maiden whose confession of love had so often been on her lips in this world, and at last made itself heard from beyond the tomb. Gautier has admirably rendered the suavity, the chastity of the young girl's unrequited affection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
