A strong selection of poetry and prose by Paul Valéry. This anthology offers an introduction to the unique charm of this eminent poet and essayist, drawn from Valéry's authentic Collected Works. The volume includes “The Evening with Monsieur Teste” (1896), from Jackson Mathews' award-winning translation for the novel Monsieur Teste. It features remarkable essays such as “Introduction to Leonardo da Vinci’s Method,” “The Critique of the Mind,” and “Poetry and Abstract Thought”; some of Valéry's best poems; prose poems; and two dialogues. Paul Valéry's Collected Works, the first complete edition of the author in English, features new translations, the original French text on facing pages for the poetic works, and editorial notes.
