Description

A kaleidoscope of short, daring tales unfolds, each one daring the listener to linger over moral ambiguities and vivid, sometimes grotesque scenes. From mischievous schoolboys in a Parisian courtyard to exotic whispers from distant lands, the stories flit between satire, melancholy, and outright rebellion. Their language is rich with 19th‑century flair, yet the humor feels oddly contemporary, inviting a wry smile even as the narratives tiptoe along the edge of propriety. The collection’s restless imagination makes every episode feel like a secret shared in a dimly lit tavern.

Behind the verses lies the enigmatic figure of a self‑styled lycanthrope, a poet who cloaked his true identity in mystery and flamboyant pseudonyms. His introductions expose a preoccupation with unmasking falsehoods, turning the act of storytelling itself into a mischievous game of revelation and deception. Listeners will be drawn into this paradoxical world where truth and illusion intertwine, offering a compelling glimpse into a mind that revels in the “immoral” and the absurd.

About the author

Pétrus Borel

Pétrus Borel

1809–1859

A wild, rebellious voice of French Romanticism, he turned away from architecture to write fierce, eccentric stories and poems that shocked many of his contemporaries. His dark imagination and outsider spirit later helped earn him a reputation as a precursor to Surrealism.
