Marguerite Yourcenar (Author),
Walter C. Jr. Kaiser (Translator)
It was with Alexis that, in 1928, Marguerite Yourcenar began her career as a novelist. The book remains one of the stellar literary debuts of the century. Yourcenar has created a moving meditation on the relationship between pleasure and love.
“The rich, many colored subtlety of her great novels — Memoirs of Dadrian; The Abyss; Alexis; Coup de Grace; and others — is reminiscent of their intricate tapestries, while her sublime mystical appreciation of Nature and its beauty evokes the golden age of landscape painting in the Low Countries.” – The Paris Review Number of Pages: 128Dimensions: 0.3 x 8.5 x 5.5 INPublication Date: March 22, 2006
