EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual French writer, Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly (1808-1889), in the later years of his life. The image, taken in 1889, shows Barbey d'Aurevilly with a thoughtful expression, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. His white beard and neatly combed hair frame a face etched with the lines of a man who has lived a rich and complex life. Born in Paris in 1808, Barbey d'Aurevilly was a prolific writer who made significant contributions to French literature. He is best known for his novels, which often explored the darker side of human nature and the supernatural. His works, which include "Fantasio," "Les Diaboliques," and "Emma," were influential in the development of the Gothic and Romantic literary traditions in France. Despite his literary success, Barbey d'Aurevilly's life was marked by personal struggles and financial hardships. He was known for his eccentric behavior and his controversial views, which often put him at odds with the literary establishment of his time. Nevertheless, he remained a respected and admired figure in the literary world, and his works continue to be read and studied today. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this fascinating and enigmatic figure. It serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of the human experience, and the enduring power of the written word to captivate and inspire.
