Synopsis
A gorgeous facsimile of the epochal collaboration between Mallarm� and Manet that inspired Nijinsky's most famous dance
The second published collaboration between St�phane Mallarm� and �douard Manet (after Mallarm�'s translation of Poe's "The Raven"), L'apr�s-midi d'un faune is one of the poet's best-known works. It provided the basis for Debussy's Pr�lude � l'apr�s-midi d'un faune (1894), which in turn inspired Nijinsky's ballet L'apr�s-midi d'un faune, first performed in Paris in 1912, with Nijinsky famously dancing the title role. Mallarm�'s poem unfolds in a sensual reverie as a Pan-like faun, arising from slumber, recollects his encounters with two forest nymphs in a monologue filled with pastoral and erotic allusions.
For Mallarm�, such publications were total works, with attention paid to every detail of layout, typography, punctuation and artwork. For the original 1876 publication, Manet created four wood engravings: two drawings that open and close the poem, and a frontispiece and ex-libris sheet that the artist hand-tinted with pink wash. This volume reproduces that first edition at full size accompanied by a new translation.
