Editor's Note:
Fables de vampires, histoires de doubles et de sortilèges, ce recueil évoque par bien des traits une taverne allemande d'Hoffmann, avec ses monstres inquiétants et ses fantômes grinçants. On y retrouve, en effet, les thèmes chers à la première génération romantique, et notamment sa fascination pour le fantastique venu d'Ecosse ou de Rhénanie. A ceci près, cependant, que Théophile Gautier imprime sa marque propre à cet univers trouble de la rêverie humaine : chaque récit reçoit un supplément d'angoisse et de surnaturel qui renforce sa dimension fantastique et l'agrémente d'un surcroît de mystère.L'un des proches de Théophile Gautier avait affirmé que «c'était peu de dire qu'il était superstitieux, il était la superstition même...» Ces Contes et récits fantastiques en sont la parfaite illustration. Derrière le bon vivant se cache en fait un homme taraudé par les sombres figures de l'irrationnel. A sa manière, peut-être, un devancier du Breton de Nadja, lequel dénonce la vanité de «la conventionnelle opposition de la folie et de la raison qui se refuse à faire la part de l'irrationnel».Ce volume comprend : La Cafetière, Omphale, La Morte amoureuse, La Chaîne d'or ou l'Amant partagé, Une nuit de Cléopâtre, La Toison d'or, Le Pied de momie, Le Roi Candaule, Arria Marcella, Avatar, Jettatura.
