First published in 1894, and here presented for the first time in English, in an excellent translation by Shawn Garrett, the sixteen stories it contains range widely in theme, but are almost all marked by a melancholy mood-of things lost, of things missed. From symbolist fables to bizarre vignettes, from \u003cem\u003econtes cruels\u003c\/em\u003e to aesthetic reveries, \u003cem\u003eMonada\u003c\/em\u003e presents the visions of an exceedingly rare talent whose fictional work, until now, has been denied the Anglophone reader. The volume, long and undeservedly forgotten, is certainly worthy of a well-placed position in the Decadent canon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68285978902751,"sku":"9781645250609","price":20.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/f2QaAKgdIT9781645250609.webp?v=1792788649","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/monada-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
