Presented here, for the first time in English, in a translation by Brian
Stableford, are the complete prose poems of Éphraïm Mikhaël,
a disciple of Mallarmé and an important member of the Symbolist
Movement. Though he died when only twenty-three years old, of tuberculosis,
Mikhaël made a significant contribution to the Movement. The
works translated here only give a foretaste of the work the author might
have gone on to do, but it is mature work, and its spectrum offers a reasonably
comprehensive account of the authors literary ambitions and philosophical
attitudethe latter enviably colored by the disease that, as he was
all too well aware, was gradually killing him.
