1926201378<p>New York: Macy-Masius 1926. Hardcover. Near Fine. Pogany Willy. Signed by illustrator. Full black cloth with lavender title box to front cover gilt lettering to spine illustrated endpapers signed by Willy Pogany at limitation page. Spine lettering dulled & partially rubbed; slipcase has short tears to paper covering & lavender coloring faded but structurally intact; the book itself is quite nice. Pierre Louys' "translations" of ancient Greek lesbian erotic poetry. Hard to believe Louys really intended for the book to be a forgery but he at least let it ride and it fooled people for many years. This is the preferred edition with the Pogany illustrations. Pogany's Art Deco erotica is playful.</p> Macy-Masius hardcover

1935201382<p>Hollywood: Paramount Studio 1935. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Stapled sheets 14" x 8-1/2". Stamped twice one saying "Form '2 Censorship Dialogue Script" and the other "File Copy Return to Script Dept. Paramount Studio-Hollywood." Pencil notation from Peter Howard below title. John Dos Passos adapted Pierre Louys' story into this screenplay. It was released that same year directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Marlene Dietrich Lionel Atwill Cesar Romero Edward Everett Horton and Alison Skipworth. The Spanish Embassy demanded that the film be withdrawn from circulation and that all prints be destroyed. A financial flop anyway Paramount agreed to supress all copies of the film in November 1935. It was considered lost until Sternberg magically produced a copy for the 1959 Venice Film Festival.</p> Paramount Studio paperback
18997463Paris: Librairie Borel 1899. First illustrated edition. Softcover. g. Octavo. 188 pp. Original decorative glassine over illustrated wrappers with blue lettering on front cover. Frontispiece. Illustrated title page. One of the great novels about obsessive love "La Femme et le Pantin" The Woman and The Puppet was first published in 1898 by Mercure de France and is considered Louys' masterpiece. It has inspired five film versions including von Sternberg's in 1935 and Bunuel's in 1977. This novel - which drew some of its inspiration from Bizet's Carmen as well as a particular episode in Casanova's Memoirs - is a distillation of decadent themes that holds good from one fin-de-siecle to another a cautionary tale whose title acknowledges that for a woman to be fatale requires the complicity of a male puppet. The novel opens during the boisterous Seville Carnival of 1896 during which André Stevenol an amorously-inclined young Frenchman succeeds in attracting the attention of the alluring Concha Perez. A rendezvous is arranged but before it can take place André meets Don Mateo who in a long monologue recounts his affair with Concha and seeks to dissuade the younger man from becoming embroiled with the 'worst of women' who had teased ridiculed and humiliated him.
