Burke et Hare; Produced by Laura Natal Rodrigues & Marc D'Hooghe (Images generously made available by the Gallica (Bibliothèque nationale de France.); Original publication data not identified N2 - "Vies imaginaires" by Marcel Schwob is a collection of twenty-two semi-biographical short stories published in 1896. Blending historical facts with fantastical elements, these biographical fictions reimagine the lives of obscure and famous figures alike. This pioneering work helped establish biographical fiction as a genre and profoundly influenced Jorge Luis Borges, who translated one story and drew inspiration for his own Universal History of Infamy. Schwob transforms biography into an art of creative reinvention. (This is an automatically generated summary.) UR - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/49712 ER -
