Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good Plus. First Edition Thus. 1999. 237pp. Very good condition with no inscriptions. Also included is Robert Graves' translation of 'Cupid and Psyche' by Lucius Apuleius. "PSYCHE is a modern fairy tale. It is also an adult fairy tale and, like most fairy tales, unmitigating in its detailing of harsh an…d detached cruelty. Psyche is a descendant of the original Psyche whom Cupid loved, but this love story is even less straightforward, even more tortured than the archetypal Greek myth from which it derives. Couperus considered this his symbolist masterpiece. The symbolism it uses is that of the luxuriousness, hardness, and beauty of precious stones that create the imagery and reflect the identity of the novel's landscapes and protagonists. Robert Graves' translation of the original story of Cupid and Psyche from The Golden Ass by Lucius Apuleius concludes this edition.".
