About This Item

The boards are rubbed, with a few chips to the marbled paper. Spine lightly sunned with a touch of wear to the joints, which are otherwise strong and tight. Evidence of removal of bookplate to inside front board. Hinges tight. Contents very clean. A handsome copy in good plus condition. Louys (1870-1925) was a French poet and novelist. Born in Ghent, he moved to Paris where, in 1891, he founded a review called 'Le Conque' to which many of the most famous French authors of the day contributed. In this journal he printed his first poems, many of which later appeared in 'Astarte' (1891). His lyrics, based on the Greek form which he so much admired, are masterpieces of style. In 1896, this novel was published to great success by Librairie Borel. (See Larousse, Dict. of Writers). Our copy was first published in 1902.
