Aurelia is a document of dreams, obsession, and insanity. One of the original "bohemians", Nerval was best known in his own day for parading a lobster on a pale-blue ribbon, and for his suicide (1855), hanging from a string he called the garter of the Queen of Sheba. Included are Robert Duncan's translations of Nerval's Chimeras.

This beautiful nineteenth-century book was a favorite of artist Joseph Cornell's, and its author was championed by both Proust and Breton, albeit for different reasons. An account of the author's unrequited passion for an actress and his subsequent descent into madness, AurTlia is a confessional document of dreams, obsession, and insanity. One of the original self-styled bohemians, Nerval was well known in his own day for parading a lobster on a pale blue ribbon through the gardens of the Palais-Royal, and for his romantic suicide in 1855, hanging from an apron string he insisted was the garter of the Queen of Sheba, with the final pages of AurTlia in his pocket. Included in this collection are other important novellas by the author, and his poem-cycle Chimeras. "Our dreams are a second life . . ."
