FrenchOriginal work

Summary

"Feuilles tombées" by René Boylesve is a posthumous collection first published in 1927. Drawn from the author's private notebooks and loose pages, these reflections and short texts reveal intimate secrets of Boylesve's emotional life. The work discloses his platonic yet profound attachment to a real woman who inspired a character in his fiction, and his deep connection to certain places. Originally edited with discretion, a more complete 1947 edition removes earlier restraints, offering fuller glimpses into the writer's inner world and sentiments he intended as his posthumous legacy.
