A collection for biographies and other works of the romantic cycle of Guy de Pourtalès, a Swiss writer who entered détaillant the Gallimard catalogue in 1923 with The Parable of Talents and was the first author of the "Lives of Illustrious Men" collection.

"Guy de Pourtalès has chosen to group his biographical studies, certain essays and those of these novels which seem to him to belong to the same poetics, participate in an inner life that is in some way identical. Romanticism that began around 1830 to last three-quarters of a century and died out with the war of 1914."
