Portada de Louis Couperus: Schimmen van schoonheid (ePUB)

Couperus op de korte baan.»Schimmen van schoonheid» bundelt 17 korte verhalen die Louis Couperus schreef tussen 1907 en 1912. Het zijn stuk voor stuk historische verhalen, over mensen die intussen »verschimd» zijn. We beginnen bij Gilgamesh, de held van het allereerste epos uit de geschiedenis van de mensheid (2620 voor Christus) en eindigen bij Lucrezia Borgia (1505-1519). Tussendoor brengt Couperus gladiatoren tot leven (»De naumachie»), een Romeinse keizerin (»De meditatie») en twee broers die in het Italië van 1478 in conflict komen met het pauselijk gezag (»De samenzwering»). Couperus, schrijver van dikke historische romans (»De berg van licht», »De ongelukkige») bewijst dat hij ook in een tijdsbestek van maar een twintigtal pagina»s een heel verleden tot leven kan wekken.-
