His tales draw energy and charm from the earnest esotericism of their central motifs, and poignantly exploit the author's fascination with death. Filled with the ironic spirit of the contes cruels, which dominated upmarket short fiction during the fin-de-si cle, they are visionary fantasies with a peculiar obliquity that is the hallmark of his work. Michelet took his fantasy and symbolism seriously, especially when their extrapolation led him by convoluted paths to the strange conclusions displayed in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor-Emile Michelet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612277950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612277950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Victor-Emile Michelet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068842340607,"sku":"9781612277950","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a3bb30a-a854-4563-b476-c7d13ba0997e.jpg?v=1685421311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/superhuman-tales-victor-emile-michelet-9781612277950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
