Trilby & The Crumb Fairy

En savoir plus sur le livre

Charles Nodier's experiences with the guillotine during Revolutionary France shaped his sensitivity to the irrational aspects of human experience. He opposed the 18th-century emphasis on Classical Reason, advocating instead for Romanticism and Fantasy as essential lenses for understanding complex emotions like beauty, terror, and love. His work highlights the importance of intuition in grappling with experiences that defy rational explanation, positioning him as a precursor to later psychological theories.
