Publisher's Synopsis

Spirite: Nouvelle Fantastique is a French novel written by Th�����ophile Gautier in 1877. The story revolves around the protagonist, a young artist named Allan, who becomes infatuated with a beautiful woman named Angelica. However, Angelica is not an ordinary woman, but rather a spirit who haunts the Parisian streets at night. Allan becomes obsessed with Angelica and follows her into a mysterious and supernatural world, where he encounters a variety of strange and terrifying creatures. As he delves deeper into this world, Allan must confront his own fears and desires in order to survive. The novel is a classic example of French fantastique literature, which combines elements of horror, romance, and the supernatural to create a haunting and evocative story. Gautier's prose is richly descriptive and atmospheric, evoking the dark and mysterious streets of Paris and the eerie world of the spirits.
