Alfred De Vigny / A. Centeno Rilova / ACenteno Rilova / Jose Robles
Chatterton and Dafnis brings together two emotionally resonant works by Alfred de Vigny, exploring the fates of young men torn between artistic purity and a society indifferent to beauty. 'Chatterton' dramatizes the final days of the historical English poet Thomas Chatterton, a precocious genius crushed by poverty and neglect. 'Dafnis' presents a pastoral figure who, though rooted in classical tradition, becomes a vessel for yearning, sacrifice, and lost innocence. With poetic intensity and philosophical insight, both pieces interrogate the tension between imagination and mortality in a disenchanted age.Alfred Victor de Vigny (1797-1863) was a French poet, playwright, and novelist. This volume contains Spanish translations of a play, Chatterton, and a novella, Daphne.
