Product Description

Book Description

In this modern, adult fairy tale, Psyche is a descendant of the original Psyche whom Cupid loved. But this love story is even more complex and varied than the Greek myth.

About the Author

Louis Couperus was born in The Hague in 1863. Following his family's move to the Dutch East Indies, he was educated in Jakarta. In 1878 the family returned to The Hague, where Couperus continued his studies. He was married in 1891. His novel Ecstasy was first published a year later and Psyche followed in 1898; both are available from Pushkin Press. Couperus and his wife eventually settled in Nice until 1910, when they travelled extensively in Italy. A renowned wit, raconteur and commentator, Couperus continued to publish critically and commercially successful work until his death from blood poisoning in 1923.
