Sinossi

In "Woman and Puppet, Etc," Pierre Louÿs delves into the intricacies of desire and obsession, intertwining themes of love and manipulation within a richly textured narrative. The novella is distinguished by its lyrical prose, showcasing Louÿs's mastery of symbolism and sensuality, which invite readers to explore the psyche of its protagonist as he grapples with his infatuation for the elusive and enchanting puppet-woman. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century fin de siècle Paris, this work captures the decadence and complexity of an era obsessed with artifice and eroticism, positioning it within the broader literary movement of Symbolism and the emerging realms of Modernism. Pierre Louÿs was a pivotal figure in the literary circles of his time, known for his fascination with the female form and the subtleties of eroticism. His travels and engagement with classical literature and art informed his explorations of gender dynamics and the male gaze. Louÿs's background in philosophy and his friendships with contemporaneous literary giants underscore the intellectual rigor behind his provocative themes in "Woman and Puppet, Etc." This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersections of love, art, and obsession, offering profound insights into the human condition. Readers will find themselves captivated by Louÿs's ability to render the intricate dance of desire, elevating this novella to a timeless exploration of the complexities of beauty and illusion.

    Werewolf Ella Stills has just one question: What exactly does it take to leave one's life mate? Particularly when said life mate is a stubborn, stupid-headed, liar-liar-pants-on-fire cheater? 
 
 
 
Apparently the answer is . . . amnesia. Not hers. His. 
 
 
 
Crosby Nash, Mr. Hotshot super-fine Lycan Lawyer, has gone and gotten himself conked on the head. Not only does he no longer remember Ella, their recent separation, or his dastardly cheatin' heart—Crosby doesn't even remember that he's a werewolf. A psychiatric nurse by trade, Ella jumps at the pack's offer of a divorce if she aids Crosby in his rehabilitation. Once his memory returns, she'll be free. 
 
 
 
But Ella didn't count on Crosby's lost memory turning him back into the man she fell in love with . . . the one she can't resist. And when it becomes clear the pack needs Crosby to regain his memory for a reason—a reason curiously related to the woman he may have cheated with—it's a mystery Ella can't resist. 
 
 
 
Though she'll probably wish she had . . .
