Byblis; Leda; A New Pleasure is a collection of three erotic novellas by French author Pierre Louys, originally published in 1920. The first novella, Byblis, tells the story of a woman who falls in love with her own brother and ultimately meets a tragic end. The second novella, Leda, is a retelling of the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, in which Leda is seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan. The third novella, A New Pleasure, explores the sexual fantasies and desires of a young woman named Helene. Louys' writing is known for its explicit sexual content and exploration of taboo subjects, and this collection is no exception. The book has been both praised for its literary merit and criticized for its controversial subject matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
