«Las canciones de Bilitis» is the collection of poems by Pierre Louÿs, published by Edicomunicación in paperback (188 pages, in Spanish).
The book is presented as a translation of the verses of Bilitis, a supposed Greek poetess contemporary with Sappho. The poems trace her life: youth, first pastoral loves with Lykas, and the relationship with Mnasidika, the core of the work. Love, desire and beauty are expressed in lyrical and sensual verses marked by nostalgia.
Work originally published in 1894. This 1999 edition belongs to the Cultura collection and includes translation, prologue and presentation by Francesc Ll. Cardona.
For lovers of classical poetry and nineteenth-century French literature, as well as works on lesbian themes.
