English The Poet Assassinated Produced by Laura Natal Rodrigues at Free Literature (Images generously made available by Hathi Trust.) "The Poet Assassinated" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the life of the protagonist, Croniamantal, through a whimsical and satirical lens, reflecting Apollinaire's fascination with modernity, art, and the chaotic spirit of the times leading up to and following the Great War. The narrative promises to intertwine themes of love, creativity, and existential musings in a vividly crafted story. The opening of the novel presents a biographical notice highlighting Apollinaire’s life and artistic journey, while also introducing the character Croniamantal, who embodies the struggles and aspirations of a modern poet. It paints a picture of a vibrant literary landscape filled with eccentric personalities, set against the backdrop of rapid societal change. As the narrative unfolds, the reader witnesses Croniamantal’s engagement with the world, his romantic endeavors, and the artistic society that envelops him, all characterized by humor, irony, and a sense of rebellion against conventional norms. This initial portion entices readers with its rich prose and deep exploration of the artist’s experience, positioning it as both a reflection on Apollinaire’s own life and a critique of contemporary society.
