Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) sigue siendo para algunos un autor desconocido o un eterno secundario. Su perfil inconformista de artista excéntrico, su apología de la libertad sexual que emana tanto de sus ficciones como de sus escritos, le sitúan un tanto al margen de los circuitos de difusión literarios. A pesar del éxito de las adaptaciones cinematográficas de «La mujer y el pelele», el nombre del autor ha sido eclipsado por el de realizadores de...

Classic French erotica by the extremely prolific Louys. Susan Sontag, so recently deceased, described this book as "one of the handful of erotic works that achieve true literary status." The She-Devils is the story of a young man who one day finds himself in the company of a family of whores, mother and three daughters, each of the younger ones more decadent than the last. Oft-reprinted work first translated in 1958 by the Ophelia Press.

Louys was a French poet and writer most renowned for lesbian and classical themes in some of his work. He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Legion d'honneur for his contribution to French literature. The title story in this collection was first published in the original French in 1898 and has been adapted for film five times, including the The Devil is a Woman (1935) starring Marlene Dietrich, and Bunuel's That Obscure Obje...

Excerpt from The Songs of Bilitis: Translated From the Greek, Put Into English From the French Notwithstanding the weighty argument and the learned polemics of the distinguished professor in Gottingen, who in 1896 took up arms in learned protest against this collection of pictures of ancient Greek life, told in exquisitely beautiful modern French, and who sought, with it as a text, to bring forward an unnecessary defence of the character of t...

Si, en poemarios como Canciones de Bilitis, Pierre Louÿs describía la realidad erótica de la Belle Époque, en obras como Diálogos de cortesanas y Manual de urbanidad para jovencitas apartó los velos de la hipocresía y del falso pudor que impedía a la literatura acercarse a la vida sexual, a la realidad de lo que ocurría en un París donde uno de los puntos de encuentro de la aristocracia y la alta sociedad eran, además de los salones y los foye...

A collection of previously unpublished erotic manuscripts from the author of The Songs of BilitisA bestselling author in his time, Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) was a friend of, and influence on, André Gide, Paul Valéry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarmé among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Louÿs' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manusc...

A collection of seven mildly erotic "pastel" stories, based mostly on mythology, originally published in limited editions in Paris between 1893 and 1898. Pierre Louÿs retells these legends so beautifully that, under the spell of his relation, one almost loses sight of the extent to which their consummate literary craftsmanship reveals the master of literary technic no less than the imaginative artist. The pastels are not so sensational as some...
