"In 1891, a young Frenchman, Pierre Louÿs, issued to his friends a small volume of poems, printed at his own expense. He was then twenty-one years old, possessed a complete classic education, in command of five or six languages, and seemingly provided with the essential to comfortable existence. From the accounts of his friends, a young man of charming personality, full of energy and enthusiasm, interested in anything curious or beautiful. Almost overnight he becomes one of the outstanding figures in French literature." (from the Preface). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers A81714
