{"product_id":"fantastic","title":"Fantastic","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Fantastic\u003c\/em\u003e, Tzvetan Todorov seeks to examine both generic theory and a particular genre, moving back and forth between a poetics of the fantastic itself and a metapoetics or theory of theorizing, even as he suggest that one must, as a critic, move back and forth between theory and history, between idea and fact. His work on the fantastic is indeed about a historical phenomenon that we recognize, about specific works that we may read, but it is also about the use and abuse of generic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an essay in fictional poetics, \u003cem\u003eThe Fantastic\u003c\/em\u003e is consciously structuralist in its approach to the generic subject. Todorov seeks linguistic bases for the structural features he notes in a variety of fantastic texts, including Potocki's\u003cem\u003e The Sargasso Manuscript\u003c\/em\u003e, Nerval's \u003cem\u003eAurélia\u003c\/em\u003e, Balzac's \u003cem\u003eThe Magic Skin\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, Cazotte's \u003cem\u003eLe Diable Amoureux\u003c\/em\u003e, Kafka's\u003cem\u003e The Metamorphosis\u003c\/em\u003e, and tales by E. T. A. Hoffman, Charles Perrault, Guy de Maupassant, Nicolai Gogol, and Edgar A.
