Masks in the Tapestry

Exploring themes of decadence and immorality, this collection features ten tales by Jean Lorrain, a prominent figure of the Decadent Movement. These stories, presented in English for the first time, revolve around princes and princesses, transforming familiar fairy tale elements into dark narratives that evoke sensuality and voluptuousness. The conte cruel style invites readers to experience a twisted innocence, immersing them in a provocative and atmospheric journey.
