<p><b>The National Book Award-winning translation of Valéry's singular novel, a strange and powerful philosophical exploration of human consciousness</b> </p><p>Paul Valéry was obsessed with exploring the conscious mind, and it was this preoccupation that produced the unusual masterpiece of modern fiction that is <i>Monsieur Teste</i>. Although not autobiographical in any usual sense, Valéry's only novel is a profoundly personal book, a portrait of a character whose mind is shown in two aspects--detached from the senses and engaged in the events of everyday life. This volume also includes "Snapshots of Monsieur Teste"--passages from Valéry's <i>Notebooks</i> that give a closer view of Teste. </p><p>The Collected Works of Paul Valéry, the first collected edition of the writer in English, features new translations, the original French on facing pages for poetic works, and editorial notes.</p>
