Sylvie
Au sortir d'un théâtre, un Parisien épris d'une actrice, en lisant un entrefilet dans la presse, est rattrapé par ses souvenirs de jeunesse. Il entreprend de se rendre dans le Valois de son enfance, pour y retrouver Sylvie, son premier amour... Dans ce récit poétique ondoyant entre un passé incertain et un présent irrésolu, temps vécu et temps rêvé se mêlent. Au crépuscule de son existence, Nerval, avec Sylvie (1853), donne une forme littéraire achevée à la part la plus insondable de l'homme : le mystère des songes, la magie de la mémoire.

Gérard de Nerval
Gérard de Nerval (French: ; 22 May 1808 – 26 January 1855) was the pen name of Gérard Labrunie, a French writer of poetry and prose, essayist, and translator. He was a major figure during the era of French romanticism, and best known for his novellas and poems, especially the collection Les Filles du feu (The Daughters of Fire), which included the novella Sylvie and the poem "El Desdichado". Through his translations, Nerval played a major role in introducing French readers to the works of German Romantic authors, including Klopstock, Schiller, Bürger and Goethe. His later work merged poetry and journalism in a fictional context and influenced Marcel Proust. His last novella, Aurélia ou le rêve et la vie, influenced André Breton and Surrealism.
