Moralités Légendaires
by Jules Laforgue is a collection of short stories and prose poems, originally published in 1887. Laforgue, a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement, offers a unique blend of irony, wit, and philosophical reflection in these reimagined legends.
The work showcases Laforgue's innovative style, marked by its conversational tone and sharp social commentary. These tales, which both embrace and subvert traditional narratives, explore themes of morality, disillusionment, and the human condition. With its blend of humor and profound insight,
remains a significant contribution to French literature, offering a glimpse into the fin-de-siècle sensibility and the emergence of modern literary techniques.
