O autorze
Remy de Gourmont (1858–1915) was a French Symbolist poet, novelist, and influential critic. De Gourmont began his career as a successful civil servant, but his literary ambitions led him to become a prominent figure within the avant-garde aesthetic movements at the turn of the 20th century. His work often delved into philosophical explorations and a striking critique of bourgeois norms and the superficiality of society. 'Philosophic Nights in Paris’ is one of de Gourmont’s celebrated works, capturing the intellectual fervor of Parisian nights and contributing to the Symbolist and Decadent movements of the era. De Gourmont’s distinct literary style is characterized by an erudite prose that is simultaneously lush and incisive, making his work a staple in discussions on modernist literature. Moreover, his critical essays cemented his reputation as a cerebral writer with a proclivity for examining the interstices between beauty, truth, and eroticism. De Gourmont’s interdisciplinary interests in philosophy, literature, and the social sciences rendered his works profoundly insightful and perennially relevant to scholars and literary connoisseurs alike.
