Est-elle vraiment telle que celle qu'il a perdue autrefois et qu'il pleure encore ? \u003cbr\u003eBruges demeurera-t-elle cette ville morte? \u003cp\u003e(par Ezwa)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBruges-la-Morte\u003c\/em\u003e is a short novel by the Belgian author Georges Rodenbach, first published in 1892. The title is difficult to translate but might be rendered as \u003cem\u003eThe Dead City of Bruges\u003c\/em\u003e. It tells the story of Hugues Viane, a widower overcome with grief, who takes refuge in Bruges, where he becomes obsessed with a dancer he sees at the opera \u003cem\u003eRobert le diable\u003c\/em\u003e who is the exact likeness of his dead wife. The book is notable for its poetic evocation of the decaying city and for its innovative form. In 1920, the composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold used the novel as the basis for his opera \u003cem\u003eDie Tote Stadt\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRodenbach interspersed his text with dozens of black-and-white photographs of Bruges. As such, the novel influenced many later writers, including W.G. Sebald. The plot of the book may also have influenced the French crime novel \u003cem\u003eD'entre les morts\u003c\/em\u003e (The Living and the Dead) by Boileau-Narcejac which was filmed by Alfred Hitchcock as \u003cem\u003eVertigo\u003c\/em\u003e in 1958. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(from Wikipedia)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DISCOS PALMAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169094058224,"sku":"2940169191783","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169191783_p0.jpg?v=1763674800","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169191783","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
