Jos\u00e9 Corti finally accepted it and published it in January 1938.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Remarkable for the violence of its sentiments and the long descriptions of landscapes in harmony with the characters&#8217; thoughts, <i>Au Chateau d&#8217;Argol<\/i> was hailed by Andr\u00e9 Breton as the first Surrealist novel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&#8220;La ligne du r\u00e9cit est extr\u00eamement simple. Son sujet ne se r\u00e9sume ni par une intrigue, ni par une action mais par une situation: deux hommes et une femme que le drame de la fascination r\u00e9unit et retient dans un ch\u00e2teau isol\u00e9. Le roman commence par un voyage et donc par une rupture. Il s&#8217;\u00e9tablit dans une demeure perdue, coup\u00e9e du monde: le manoir d&#8217;Argol et dans un espace temporel en marge: les vacances.&#8221; (Bernhild Boie, Julien Gracq, Euvres Compl\u00e8tes, La Pl\u00e9iade).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The space of the castle, often presented as labyrinthine and full of mystery by the narrative, allows the characters to lose their way in a space that is both physical and psychic. This structure appears in many stories, particularly fantasy tales. When M\u00e9rim\u00e9e wrote Lokis, he enclosed his characters in a castle cut off from the world by a thick forest. M\u00e9rim\u00e9e himself adopted a number of leitmotifs from the English novel noir. Gracq follows in their footsteps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&#8220;Les circonstances commun\u00e9ment entendues comme scabreuses qui entourent l&#8217;action de cette nouvelle ne lui sont nullement essentielles [&#8230;]Puissent ici \u00eatre mobilis\u00e9es les puissantes merveilles des Myst\u00e8res d&#8217;Udolphe, du Ch\u00e2teau d&#8217;Otrante, et de La maison Usher pour communiquer \u00e0 ces faibles syllabes un peu de la force d&#8217;envo\u00fbtement qu&#8217;ont gard\u00e9es leurs cha\u00eenes, leurs fant\u00f4mes, et leurs cercueils: l&#8217;auteur ne fera que leur rendre un hommage \u00e0 dessein explicite pour l&#8217;enchantement qu&#8217;elles ont toujours in\u00e9puisablement vers\u00e9 sur lui. \u00bb (Extrait de L&#8217;Avis au lecteur \u00e9crit par Julien Gracq)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Copy of the regular issue, toned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align:justify\">8vo (190 x 120 mm) 184 pp. Original purple printed wrappers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":85740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[544],"product_tag":[1246,1450],"class_list":{"0":"post-85745","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-literature","7":"product_tag-20th-century-literature","8":"product_tag-first-edition","9":"pa_auteur-gracq-julien-2","10":"pa_type-de-livre-printed-book","12":"first","13":"outofstock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":{"artist":" Julien GRACQ","chapeau":"","adresse_bibliographique":"Paris, Jos\u00e9 Corti, 1938","book_type":"Printed book","provenance":"","afficher_prix":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
