FIRST EDITION IN THIS TITLE, AND PART OF THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHED FULLER LIFE Gerard de Nerval.
"The Making of Voyage en Orient by Gérard de Nerval is long and complex. The author brings over ten years writing the book, since the route from Paris to Geneva, published in La Presse on January 18, 1840, until the final version of 1851. The story refers to the Vienna Travel 1839-1840, while the Greek side appeared in L'Artiste in 1844, following the wanderings of Nerval in the Levant in 1843. La Revue des Deux Mondes published four travel narratives in Egypt in 1846 and four in Lebanon in 1847. Just after the trial began Nerval grouping and the first result to be published soon at the end of 1847 or early 1848: Scenes of Life Oriental - The Women of Cairo. This book consists of introduction into the Greek islands and travelogue in Cairo until the arrival in Beirut. The Revolution of 1848 had to delay the publication of Volume II, which recounts the visit to Lebanon. The second test summary occupies the entire year 1849. The Silhouette publishes a series of trips Nerval under the general title of "Al-Kahira. Memories of the East "between January 7, 1849 and January 27, 1850; here that connects Nerval route from Paris to Vienna to travel in the East. The story seems to stay in Constantinople in 1850 in The National from March 7. The final title of Journey to the East was adopted in 1851, the two volumes published by Charpentier containing the itinerary; from Paris to Alexandria in the introduction, and then stays in Egypt, Lebanon and Turkey. (...) Regarding the Scenes of Life East, we must also reckon with the mysteries surrounding the publication of the book, and Claude Michel Brix Pichois traced the complicated story. We know of three editors of this book: Ferdinand Sartorius, then Hippolyte Souverain, Victor finally Lecou. It is certain that Volume I of the Scenes of Life Oriental - The Women of Cairo appeared at Sartorius before the Revolution of 1848, while the second volume may have been printed after March 1848, but he seems to have been slow to appear until the last weeks of 1849 to publish Volume II, Sartorius has used the cover page and title of volume I, adding the number "2" between scenes of Oriental life and The Women of Cairo, and turning on the cover, the publication date of "MDCCCXLVIII" to "MDCCC L" scraping by "X" and the "VIII". In 1850, Sovereign acquired unsold copies of Sartorius and added a cover and title page news, the second volume is this time called Scenes de la Vie Eastern - Women of Lebanon. It seems that these two editions are sold poorly, against the "third edition" of travel in East by Charpentier in 1851. (...) " extract, literary history, New on the Journey to the Orient by Gérard de Nerval, No. 1-2000.
"Disappointed by his subject, the Orient, as far as the photographic tool, Nerval transgresses one of the first rules of Orientalist narrative: realism. This retreat from reality, by which he left his daguerreotype to other activities, is at the heart of the story ultimately published in 1851, which is the portrait of an East partly dreamed where Nerval is no longer the operator photographer, but only the disillusioned spectator of a phenomenon that accompanies the disappearance of the East in which he would have liked to travel. " extracted from the practice of the daguerreotype, BNF exposure.
26 January 1855, he was found hanging from the bars of a gate which closed a sewer of the Rue de la Vieille-Lanterne, in "the most sordid corner he could find" in Form Baudelaire. His friends speculated in a murder perpetrated by intruders during one of his usual walks in disreputable places, but has certainly committed suicide.
