For Reading in the Bath

Viac o knihe

The collection features ultra-short stories that blend poetry with themes of love and immorality, set against the backdrop of fin de siècle Paris. With a focus on the character Valentin and his romantic pursuits, these tales range from risqué to surprisingly chaste. The masterful construction of each story offers a delightful reading experience, appealing to those who enjoy suggestive and humorous narratives. Brian Stableford's translation brings this charming work to English readers for the first time, enhancing its artistic allure.
