Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Fair dj. Later Printing. [book lightly shelfworn, miniscule bumping to top front corner; jacket is a bit of a mess, with the striking front panel illustration intact but otherwise some wear and paper loss to the spine (which has also been clumsily tape-repaired along the front hinge), light soiling, a bit of paper loss at corners of rear panel]. Somewhat louche French novel (translation uncredited), "a poem in prose to the eternal beauty and ecstasy of the flesh, a romantic celebration of that physical love which approaches and merges with the sublime." The book was left unfinished at the time of the author's death in 1925, but "his friend Claude Farrère, working from his own intimate knowledge of the story, gleaned from many conversations with Louÿs, finally completed it and brought about its publication." It was initially published in the U.S. by Covici, Friede in 1928, in a limited edition with illustrations by the somewhat enigmatic Mme. Majeska (real name, Henriette Stern), a theatre and film costume designer who employed her best Aubrey Beardsley-esque style to illustrate a number of similarly exotic books in the 1920s and 1930s; despite the jacket-blurb claim that the book "is here presented in an attractive format, and without deletion from the original edition," this particular 1931 printing did in fact eliminate the in-text illustrations (perhaps they meant something else by "the original edition"), although the publisher did retain one of her drawings (uncredited) to adorn the front jacket panel. (Too bad about the clumsily-done tape repair to the front jacket hinge; not my doing!). Illustrated by (dj) Majeska [Henriette Stern; uncredited] (illustrator).…

Original Cloth. Zustand: About Very Good. First Edition in English. Number 515 of an edition of 1237 copies. Covers and front pastedown lightly soiled; two leaves carelessly opened. Majeska (illustrator).

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: New York, Covici, Friede Publishers, 1929 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 217. Condition Report: Very Good. The book presents beautifully in its original yellow cloth, which remains vibrant and largely shielded from significant shelf-wear. The silver-stamped design on the upper board is impressively bright and completely unoxidised. Some minor rubbing and subtle darkening are present at the spine ends, alongside mild age-toning to the untrimmed text-block edges. Internally, the binding is tight and square, with the pages remaining crisp, bright, and free of foxing, save for a neat contemporary ownership signature ("C. Harvey"). A highly attractive, well-preserved copy. Catalogue Note: This early English translation of Rachildeâs decadent masterpiece is a highly sought-after edition, translated by Madeleine Boyd. The volume is significantly elevated by the striking, stylised illustrations by Majeska, which perfectly capture the novel's subversive and avant-garde spirit. It also features an introduction by Ernest Boyd and a preface by Maurice Barrà s, providing crucial literary context. Provenance includes a neat, understated previous ownership signature to the endpaper. Copies of this specific illustrated edition in such well-preserved, bright condition are increasingly scarce on the open market, making it a desirable acquisition for collectors of decadent literature or early 20th-century illustrated volumes. First published in France to immense scandal, Monsieur Và nus is a cornerstone of the French Decadent movement. Known to contemporaries like Maurice Barrà s as "demoiselle Baudelaire", Rachilde subverts traditional gender roles and sexual mores through the story of Raoule de Và nà rande, a wealthy aristocratic woman who takes a young, effeminate florist as her lover. Raoule systematically strips him of his masculinity, transforming him into her kept "mistress." Rachilde's provocative exploration of gender fluidity, sadomasochism, and aestheticism remains as audacious today as it was at the fin de sià cle, offering a dark, glittering critique of societal norms.
