This collection of stories by Théophile Gautier explores themes of the supernatural, hallucinations, and erotica. It includes two longer fantastical tales, 'Avatar' and 'Jettatura', as well as eight shorter stories. Gautier's writing is known for its lush imagery and evocative prose, drawing the reader into worlds of mystery and intrigue. While the stories are diverse in subject matter, they are united by a common thread of exploration into the darker and more sensual aspects of human experience.
