Features: Musset's sensitive temperament blends the tenderness of a woman with the roughness of a man; his emotional experiences are filled with passion and pain, always shrouded in the shadows of hallucinations and death; and his late-life carnival lifestyle accelerated his march towards the grave. He is the beloved child of the Muses and also a martyr of love. This book, with its exquisite and meticulous language, shows us the development of Musset's writing talent and the destruction of his personal life.
