Features: It is not uncommon in literary history that some works become famous overnight when published but later fall into oblivion; while some works remain unnoticed at first but later shine brilliantly and endure over time. The Night of Kaspar belongs to the latter category. According to French critics, dozens of literary giants have been influenced by it. Here are a few names readers may be more familiar with: Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Flaubert, Apollinaire, Eluard, Breton, Gide, and Nerval.
