- Vintage French Book Les Chansons De Bilitis by Pierre Louÿs - This charming French book is in okay condition for a book that is more than 70 years old. The binding is intact but there are some tears on the spine and it is dog-eared. Les Chansons De Bilitis (Songs of Bilitis) by Pierre Louÿs had an original publication date of 1894. This one is dated 1937. It has 221 pages and is a soft cover with wood block illustrations. Les Chansons de Bilitis by Pierre Louÿs (pen name of Pierre-Félix Louis) purports to be the French translation of texts engraved on the walls of a tomb on Cyprus by a female contemporary of Sappho by the name of Bilitis. Research has shown that Bilitis did not exist and this book was somewhat controversial both due to the fact that the origin of the poems appears to be Pierre Louÿs himself and to the risque nature of some of the poems. With wonderful wood block prints (there is some female nudity). We're not sure how risque the poems are because our French is rusty to say the least. Great vintage item.
