Description
Paul Valéry's monumental work is a testament to the power of poetry and intellectual inquiry. This bilingual edition brings together the poet's most celebrated verse and prose, offering a unique insight into the mind of one of the 20th century's most important literary figures. Behind the published works, lies a vast and fragmentary "exercise of thought", a restless intellectual quest that reveals Valéry's true nature as both a craftsman of refined verse and a fervent investigator of the limits of human intellect and expression. This edition presents both sides of Valéry, showcasing his mastery of language and his boundless curiosity. With over 400 pages of poetry and prose, this bilingual edition provides a comprehensive understanding of Valéry's work, shedding light on the private life of the mind that has captivated readers for generations.
