La Guzla

Synopsis

La Guzla, ou Choix de poesies illyriques, recueillies dans la Dalmatie, la Bosnie, La Croatie et l'Hertzegowine ('The Guzla, or a Selection of Illyric Poems Collected in Dalmatia, Bosnia, Croatia and Herzegovina') was a 1827 collection of poems created by French writer Prosper Mérimée. The poems, supposedly narrated by local man Hyacinthe Maglanović and then "pseudotranslated" into French, turned out to be a literary hoax.
