About this Item
Original cardboard covers with a blue spine covering. A sound binding, the pages are unmarked with age tanning. The front cover has a little bit of puckering to the top edges, cover rubbing. "Le ton de l'ouvrage est vif, voire lapidaire, le style particulièrement cru et chatoyant. Pierre Louÿs use volontiers d'ironie pour évoquer les amours viles des jeunes filles perverses, et cette relative distanciation lui permet de faire fi de toute censure morale (inceste, pédophilie.). De fait, on est loin du raffinement précieux des Chansons de Bilitis par exemple, et le Manuel de civilité est sans doute l' uvre la plus subversive de Louÿs, véritable attaque en règle contre le puritanisme bourgeois de la Belle Époque." ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 107 pages.
