The rewriting of the novel The imagery of the stone and the fire in the Histoire de la Reine du Matin et de Soliman, prince des génies

The Histoire de la reine du matin et de Soliman, prince des génies constitutes a particularly interesting case of the work of re-invention so dear to Nerval. This rewriting takes place in the wake of a volcanological imaginary which is very contemporary, and of a lithic which designates, through an hybridization of forms, a troubling anti-Creation. Maybe the novel is not (only) in this story where it is expected to be.
