A classmate of André Gide Louÿs studied at the École Alsacienne and went on to become a very well known French poet and writer a close friend of Debussy and Oscar Wilde. He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Légion d'Honneur for his contributions to French literature. <br /><br />This erotic work originally written in about 1910 was inspired by the free relationship between the author and the wife of José Maria de Heredia and his three daughters. It is considered to be Louÿs' masterpiece: 'a true story down to the smallest detail' according to the author himself. He wrote inside the book: 'Ce petit livre n'est pas un roman. C'est une histoire vraie jusqu'aux moindres détails. Je n'ai rien changé ni le portrait de la mère et des trois jeunes filles ni leurs âges ni les circonstances' This books is not a novel. It is a true story down to the smallest detail. I have changed nothing neither the portrait of the mother and the three young girls nor their ages nor their circumstances.<br /> Bibliography of Erotic Works by Pierre Louys - online. 28a for the later issue Paris, [privately printed by Rene Bonel], [1926]. hardcover

The first three are EXTREMELY RARE because of the tiny edition sizes by the time the fourth was published the Germans had surrendered so a somewhat larger edition could be printed. While many livres d'artiste were printed in France under the Occupation they were subject to Nazi censorship and thus limited themselves to uncontroversial subject-matter. "INTER NOS" as the name implies "among us" in Latin was the only organization in fact a small group of friends that published clandestine livres d'artiste with texts and illustrations depicting graphic sex and sadistic violence. 1 Edouard Peisson "Hans le marin" 1943 with 22 origlnal etchings by Paul-Louis Guilbert.

This copy additionally has two etchings justified "épreuve unique" a working proof of one of the etchings two additional drawings the "planche refusée" two signed letters from Guilbert and a signed original drawing opposite the half-title. This book and the following one have an extremely unusual feature: many of the etchings in the suites are actually other versions of the etchings in the book rather than merely other states in other words they were not printed from the same plate. In some cases the etchings used in the book are "decent" and the etchings in the suites are most certainly not. Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps. Board chemise and slipcase. FINE AND BRIGHT.
