Attempt of a translation into Italian of The Chimeras by Nerval

A new Italian translation, done by Chetro De Carolis, of Gérard de Nerval’s twelve Chimères sonnets is offered here. An introduction by Simone Dubrovic reports on the translation seen as an occasion to reread and reconsider Nerval’s lyrical contribution to modern poetry, while comparing some of its verses to the corresponding ones from the most notable previous Italian translations (Parronchi, Grange Fiori, Macrì).
