About the Book

Paphnuce est devenu abbé d'un groupe de moines cénobites égyptiens, pour se repentir d'une jeunesse de frivolité et de débauche. Après des années de retraite et de vie monacale, sur le coup d'une vision, il revient sur les lieux de sa jeunesse pour tirer la comédienne Thaïs d'une vie dissolue qui la conduit tout droit à la damnation éternelle. Il y parviendra et la convaincra de rejoindre la vie religieuse pour trouver ainsi le chemin du ciel Après bien des péripéties mystiques, il finira cependant par se damner, tant il est marqué à jamais par le souvenir troublant de la pécheresse qu'elle fut. Toute une vie de prières et d'ascétisme, ne réussira pas à éteindre le feu amoureux que la seule vue de Thaïs a déclaré dans le coeur de Paphnuce bien des années auparavant.
About the Author: Théophile Gautier, né à Tarbes le 30 août 1811[1] et mort à Neuilly-sur-Seine le 23 octobre 1872, est un poète, romancier et critique d'art français. Né à Tarbes, Théophile Gautier est cependant parisien dès sa première enfance. Il fait la connaissance du futur Nerval au Collège Charlemagne et s'intéresse très jeune à la poésie. En 1829 il rencontre Victor Hugo qu'il reconnaît pour son maître et participe activement au mouvement romantique comme lors de la fameuse bataille d'Hernani, le 25 février 1830. Il évoquera avec humour cette période en 1833 dans Les Jeunes-France. Il publie en 1831-1832 ses premières poésies qui passent inaperçues mais il se distingue de ses amis romantiques par ses préoccupations formalistes fustigeant les visions moralistes ou utilitaires de la littérature dans la célèbre préface à son roman épistolaire Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835). Il écrit aussi ses premières nouvelles comme La Cafetière (1831), dans une veine fantastique qu'il approfondira dans d'autres oeuvres (Le Roman de la momie, 1858). En 1836, à la demande de Balzac, il donne des nouvelles et des critiques d'art au journal La Chronique de Paris. Il collabore ensuite intensément à d'autres journaux, en particulier La Presse d'Émile de Girardin: certains de ces textes seront regroupés plus tard en volumes (Les Grotesques, Souvenirs littéraires...). Il publie aussi des poèmes (La Comédie de la Mort, 1838) et s'essaie au théâtre (Une larme du diable, 1839). En mai 1845, il accomplit un grand voyage au-delà des Pyrénées dont il rapporte un carnet d'impressions (Voyage en Espagne) et de nouveaux poèmes (España, 1845). D'autres voyages en Algérie, en Italie, en Grèce, en Égypte, nourriront aussi diverses publications. En 1852, paraît Émaux et Camées, recueil de vers qu'il enrichit jusqu'en 1872 et qui fait de son auteur un chef d'école: Baudelaire dédie Les Fleurs du mal au poète impeccable et Théodore de Banville salue le défenseur de l'art pour l'art, précurseur des Parnassiens à la recherche du beau contre les épanchements lyriques des romantiques et valorisant le travail de la forme ( Sculpte, lime, cisèle écrit Gautier dans son poème L'Art, dernière pièce de Émaux et Camées, édition de 1872).
