Abstract
- Nikolaj Lübecker's book, "Twenty-First-Century Symbolism: Verlaine, Baudelaire, Mallarmé," explores the role of poetry in contemporary society. Lübecker argues that poetry can be seen as a form of solid and consistent thought, capable of challenging and reimagining our understanding of the world. The book examines the works of Verlaine, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé, highlighting their contributions to the redefinition of human existence and the relationship between the individual and the environment. Lübecker emphasizes the ecological nature of subjectivity and the importance of relational dynamics in shaping our perception, emotion, and action. The book ultimately celebrates the power of poetry to inspire and enrich our lives. [Extracted from the article]
