Bruges-la-Morte

Bruges-la-Morte

by Georges Rodenbach

Bruges-la-Morte est un roman de Georges Rodenbach, publié pour la première fois en 1892. L'histoire suit Hugues Viane, un veuf submergé par le chagrin qui trouve refuge à Bruges, une ville qui reflète son état d'esprit : triste et grise. Il devient obsédé par une danseuse qu'il voit à l'opéra Robert le diable, une femme qui ressemble trait pour trait à sa défunte épouse. L'œuvre se distingue par son évocation poétique de la ville en déclin et sa forme innovante, avec des photos en noir et blanc de Bruges intercalées dans le texte.
