This edition combines two works by Pierre Louÿs: 'Dialogues of Courtesans' and 'Handbook of Civility for Young Women'. In 'Dialogues of Courtesans', Louÿs explores the witty and provocative conversations between courtesans, offering a glimpse into the life and customs of ancient Greece. 'Handbook of Civility for Young Women' presents advice and reflections on etiquette and social behavior, adapted for the young women of the time. Both works reflect Louÿs' elegant style and characteristic sensuality.
Pierre-Félix Louÿs was a Belgian poet and writer, most renowned for lesbian and classical themes in some of his writings. He is known as a writer who sought to "express pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection". He was made first a Chevalier and then an Officer of the Légion d'honneur for his contributions to French literature.
