Les Filles du Feu (English: Girls of the Fire) is a collection of short prose works and stories published by the French poet Gérard de Nerval during January 1854, a year before his death. During 1853, Nerval had suffered three nervous breakdowns and spent five months in an asylum, and he saw Les Filles du Feu as an opportunity to show the public, his friends, and his father that he was sane. - Wikipedia
