Chevalier d'Albert fantasizes about his ideal lover, yet every woman he meets falls short of his exacting standards of female perfection. Embarking on an affair with the lovely Rosette to ease his boredom, he is thrown into tumultuous confusion when she receives a dashing young visitor. Exquisitely handsome, Théodore inspires passions d'Albert never believed he could feel for a man - and Rosette also seems to be in thrall to the charms of her guest. Does this bafflingly alluring person have a secret to hide? Subversive and seductive, Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835) draws readers into the bedrooms and boudoirs of a French château in a compelling exploration of desire and sexual intrigue.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Unverblümte Bekenntnisse, homoerotisches Knistern, laszive Spiele im Bärenfell dieser Roman über eine schwungvolle Dreiecksbeziehung besticht durch seine Freizügigkeit. Er reflektiert zeitlose Themen wie Geschlechterrollen und Identitätskonflikte. Théophile Gautier, der passionierteste Ästhet der französischen Literatur, beherrscht wortgewaltige Tiraden ebenso wie konzise Pointen.Der junge Edelmann D Albert schwankt zwischen sinnlosem Aktionismus und dekadenter Lethargie. Sein sehnlichster Wunsch: eine Geliebte. Doch kaum eine Frau könnte seinen verstiegenen Vorstellungen entsprechen. Als er in einem Salon die kecke Rosette kennenlernt, hat er zwar eine Gefährtin für seine sinnlichen Eskapaden. Aber trotz vereinzelter Glücksmomente wird er ihrer schnell überdrüssig. Da tritt der grazile Théodore de Sérannes auf den Plan. Rosette ist ihm sogleich erlegen, und auch D Albert fühlt sich wie magisch zu ihm hingezogen. Sollte ein Mann seinen Traum von Vollkommenheit erfüllen Oder verbirgt sich hinter dem androgynen Kavalier eine Mademoiselle In der aufwühlenden Situation weiß D Albert nur das Eine: Dieses Geschöpf muss er lieben.Neuübersetzung zum 200. Geburtstag des Autors am 30. August 2011. Seller Inventory # 9780140448139
