Summary

El joven Lorenzo sueña que es un antiguo soldado griego amante de la magia al que se aparece en sueños Polemón, compañero de armas que le salvó la vida en una batalla. Este le describe las terribles pesadillas que le ocasiona Smarra, un siniestro vampiro de los sueños, «un monstruo sin color ni forma, que brinca y aúlla» y disfruta atormentando a los durmientes. es una de las novelas más extrañas y radicales salidas de la pluma de Charles Nodier, la historia de una pesadilla dentro de otra pesadilla, que recrea uno de los monstruos más espeluznantes de la literatura. La obra, donde encontramos resonancias a Shakespeare, Goethe, la novela gótica y los hermanos Grimm (de quien fue un ferviente admirador), es un ejemplo de la poderosa imaginación de Nodier y su idea del sueño como fuente de conocimiento. Sus imágenes oníricas, fúnebres, macabras, barrocas y a veces desconcertantes son sin embargo muy modernas, y pueden considerarse como un anticipo de Poe, Kafka y del surrealismo.

The young Lorenzo dreams that he is an ancient Greek soldier who loves magic to whom Polemon appears in his dreams, a comrade in arms who saved his life in a battle. He describes the terrible nightmares caused by Smarra, a sinister dream vampire, "a monster without color or form, who leaps and howls" and enjoys tormenting the sleepers. is one of the strangest and most radical novels to come from the pen of Charles Nodier, the story of a nightmare within a nightmare, which recreates one of the scariest monsters in literature. The play, where we find resonances to Shakespeare, Goethe, the Gothic novel and the Brothers Grimm (of whom he was a fervent admirer), is an example of Nodier's powerful imagination and the idea of ​​his dream as a source of knowledge. His dreamlike, funeral, macabre, baroque and sometimes disconcerting images are nonetheless very modern, and can be considered as a foretaste of Poe, Kafka, and surrealism.
