Description from the seller

A superb illustrated and numbered copy of this singular collection in which the author explores with irony, tenderness, and lucidity the many facets of romantic love, oscillating between carnal passion, social comedy, and the melancholy of thwarted desires.

The text, faithful to Aymé's style, blends raw realism and narrative fantasy, offering incisive portraits of couples and of situations where love reveals itself—sometimes sublime, sometimes ridiculous, or tragic.

The illustrations by Vertés, an artist renowned for his elegant and sensuous line, accompany the text, giving it a refined visual dimension, where eroticism is tinged with lightness and graphic sophistication.

a work enriched with 16 original color lithographs by Vertès.
