The life of the character
Luis Beltram (1807) was born in Cheval, Italy on April 20th. His father is a French officer from Lorraine and his mother is Italian. He moved to Dijon, France at the age of seven, and has been living and growing there ever since. /kloc-at the end of 0/828, he went to Paris for the first time and entered the literary salon of Hugo, Nottier and others, which was very popular. I could have expected to stand out from the crowd, but he was aloof, poor and ill, ashamed to ask for help, and soon returned to his hometown alone. 1833, he went to Paris again. At that time, he was suffering from lung disease, recurrent attacks, hospitalization from time to time, and odd jobs at random. At that time, his friends were running out, and his aloof personality made him refuse the help extended by his friends. In the end, only the sculptor David was left as his confidant, and the friend who sent him to his final destination was the artist.
On his deathbed, Beltram was still thinking about his work Caspar at night. This work was rejected by the publishing house many times and finally accepted, but it can't be delayed. He finally passed away and didn't have time to read his manuscript again. His short life can be said to be bleak, and there is no unpredictable mystery in his works.
Main work
Beltram once said that he "tried to create a new kind of prose". Romantic poetry dominated the French literary world in the first half of the19th century. Caspar in the Night is the first of its kind. It abandons the rhyming format, exaggerated tone and the indulgence form of direct narration, and presents it to readers in a concise, jumping and even condensed prose style. Since then, prose poetry, a new literary variety, has gradually occupied an important position in the literary garden. 1862, Baudelaire published his collection of prose poems "The Melancholy of Paris", openly admitting that his inspiration came from Caspar in the Night. 1873, Rambo finished a season in Hell. 1886, he published Color Atlas, which are all important prose poems after Caspar in the Night.
Modern response
Caspar in the Night has been appreciated more and more with the passage of time, and the author's perfect prose style has become more and more popular all over the world. Beltram is not only the father of French prose poetry, but also the pioneer of modern prose poetry.
