A book about a medieval hotspot that has lost its relevance in the 19th century and a man who is horribly depressed and sees the city as his emotions dictate it. What doesn’t sound amazing about this? Pretty much the quintessential Symbolist novel.

Informative but also crazy poetic book on medieval history recommended to me by my BFFS dad who is a medieval historian (thanks) my fav quote-“In Stormy Skies people still saw phantom armies passing by: Armies of the Dead, said the populace; armies of deceitful demons, declared the learned, much less inclined to deny these visions than to find for them a quasi orthodox interpretation.“  So  Killer.

I bought it when I was visiting my little brother in Paris and it was really crazy. When you start reading it you think he's just trying to be extreme for the sake of it, of disgusting you for no reason but to provoke a reaction. Then after a while you get into it and it becomes beautifully poetic and it feels pure.
