First time in English. “In 1831 Charles Nodier began to publish a series of ‘Extraits des mémoires de Maxime Odin’ in the Revue de Paris. Although ‘Odin’ is an anagram of the first four letters of Nodier, the relationship between the author and ‘Maxime Odin’ is far more complicated than a simple transfiguration, and although all the stories in the present collection are entirely fictitious, the intensity of the author’s imaginative involvement with them should not be underestimated.” #73449
