Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Schneider, Sascha Ilustrador. Paperback. A Gothic Soul is the most acclaimed work of Czech Decadent prose. Expressing concerns that are unique to the Czech movement while alluding creatively and ironically to Joris-Karl Huysman's Against Nature, the novella is set in Prague, which is portrayed as a dead city, a city peopled by shades, who, like the protagonist -- a nihilist and the "last scion of a noble line" -- are only a dim reflection of the city's medieval splendor. He lives in a dreamworld, navigating the labyrinth of his soul, which gives rise to visions. In his quest for meaning, he walks the city, often hallucinating, while pondering questions of religious fervor and loss of faith, the vanity of life, his own sense of social alienation, human identity and its relationship to a "nation," the miserable situation of the Czechs under Habsburg rule, and Prague's loss of its soul on the cusp of modernity as old sections, such as much of the squalid Jewish Quarter, are demolished to make way for gaudy new buildings and streets. With a history of madness running in his family and afraid the same fate awaits him, he ultimately retreats into the seclusion of a monastic existence as the epitome of unity and wholeness and a way out of the morass of present-day fragmentation. Yet Karasek eschews the mawkish, opting instead for darker tones that play with the tropes and motifs of Decadence while conflating the same-sex desires of his protagonist, the fatalism and futility of such an existence within the social construct of the day, with concerns for the dual fates of his nation and city. A Gothic Soul is an essential volume of anxiety-riddled philosophy--one to shelve prominently alongside comparable masterworks like Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground and Camus's The Stranger.-Rain Taxi Review of Books The most acclaimed work of Czech Decadent prose and a gem of European Decadence overall, the novella is set in Prague, which is portrayed as a dead city, a city peopled by shades, living, like the protagonist - a nihilist and the "last scion of a noble line" - only in the memory of its medieval splendor.

With a history of madness running in the family and afraid the same fate awaits him, he ultimately retreats into seclusion, preferring the monastic way of life as the epitome of unity and wholeness and a tonic to present-day fragmentation. Yet Karasek eschews the mawkish, opting instead for darker tones that play with the tropes and motifs of Decadence while conflating the same-sex desires of his protagonist, the fatalism and futility of such an existence within the social construct of the day, with concerns for the dual fates of his nation and city. Given his importance for Czech literature and for European Decadence, very little of Karasek's work has been translated into English. Kirsten Lodge included translations of his poetry in Solitude, Vanity, Night: An Anthology of Czech Decadent Poetry, and her translations of some of his shorter prose have been made available online. This is the first time A Gothic Soul, or any full-length work of Karasek's prose, has been translated into English. The most acclaimed work of Czech Decadent prose, the novella is set in Prague, which is portrayed as a dead city, a city peopled by shades, who, like the protagonist - a nihilist and the "last scion of a noble line" - are only a dim reflection of the city's medieval splendor.
