Overview

'Bruges-the-Dead' reawakens Georges Rodenbach's haunting fin-de-siècle masterpiece for a new generation of readers. This modern translation brings fresh clarity and emotional immediacy to one of literature's most atmospheric explorations of grief, obsession, and the fragile boundary between devotion and delirium. Set amid the mist-shrouded canals and echoing streets of Bruges, the novel follows Hugues Viane, a widower consumed by mourning. His quiet, ritualized existence begins to unravel when he encounters a woman who seems to resurrect the past he cannot release. What begins as longing turns to fixation; what feels like solace becomes a labyrinth of illusion. And in Bruges-a city as alive as it is entombed-every shadow breathes.
