About the author

Pierre Louÿs

Pierre Louÿs

1870–1925

Known for lush, provocative writing shaped by classical Greece and fin-de-siècle Paris, this Belgian-born French author wrote poems and novels that were daring in their day. His best-known books blend sensuality, historical fantasy, and a polished, musical style.
