Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricate dance of love and desire through a series of intimate dialogues between ten distinct pairs. The author, drawing inspiration from the sophisticated and often licentious literature of 18th-century France, delves into the complexities of human relationships within the decadent and fading aristocratic world of late 19th-century Vienna. The dialogues, ranging from encounters between a prostitute and a soldier to a young wife and her husband, reveal the hidden desires, unspoken truths, and emotional complexities that lie beneath the surface of seemingly polite society. Through these nuanced conversations, the author unveils the hypocrisy and fleeting nature of passion, highlighting the tragedy of unfulfilled desires even within the context of seemingly perfect love. Ultimately, this book provides a captivating glimpse into the delicate and often treacherous world of courtship and its impact on the human psyche. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331899624_0
