Blaise Cendrars - La Prose du Transsibérien
6 Novembro 2025, 17:00 • Chiara Nifosi
Analysis of La Prose du Transsibérien, written by Blaise Cendrars and illustrated by Sonia Delaunay: an example of interartistic collaboration and total work of art (cf. also the evolution of visual poetry). Structure of the poem (recollection of memories of childhood and youth / the conversation with Jehanne and the dialectic structure of the poem / the train journey to Harbin / Paris as the final destination - the myth of the origin).
