"Spirite" is a novel by French writer Théophile Gautier, first published in 1865. The story revolves around the character of Spirite, a mysterious and ethereal female ghost who becomes the object of fascination for the protagonist, a young man named Gaston de Maillepré. The novel delves into themes of love, the supernatural, and the boundary between life and death. It is a work that reflects Gautier's interest in Romanticism and his exploration of the fantastic, a genre in which he excelled and contributed significantly.

The novel is also notable for its illustrations by French artist George Roux, who is perhaps best known for his illustrations of Jules Verne's novels. Roux's illustrations for "Spirite" are considered to capture the essence of Gautier's narrative, enhancing the eerie and otherworldly atmosphere of the story. His artwork for the novel is characterized by its fine detail, expressive characters, and the ability to convey the supernatural elements of the text through visual means.

George Roux's illustrations for "Spirite" are an example of the synergy between literature and visual art during the 19th century, a period when the publication of illustrated books was a popular practice. These illustrations not only helped to visualize the narrative for readers but also contributed to the legacy of the novel as a piece of both literary and artistic significance. Roux's work on "Spirite" remains an important part of his artistic oeuvre and continues to be appreciated by both art and literature enthusiasts for its contribution to the visual culture of the time.
