Description: Illustrations employing various color schemes, including black and white, primary colors, and less-common hues such as lilac and mauve, add life to this two-part volume of stories dealing with desire and passion, originally published in French in 1908. The first section, Colors, consists of 13 stories about women who demonstrate various aspects of eroticism--naivete, innocence, guilt, eagerness, perversity, masochism, sadism--each assigned a different color. Eighteen short stories presented in the style of prose poetry and concerning painful and ambiguous carnality comprise the second half, Things of Old.
