The Woman and the Puppet

One of the great novels about obsessive love, `The Woman and The Puppet` was first published in France in 1898 and is considered Louys` masterpiece. It has inspired five film versions, including von Sternberg`s in 1935 and Bunuel`s in 1977.”This elegantly simple story has lost none of its charm. It is carnival time in Spain, and a man named Andre falls in love iwth a woman he glimpses. She seems to reciprocate, but another man, Mateo, appears on the scene to warn Andre about the woman and tell him the story of his own long infatuation with her. And what a story” Phil Baker, Sunday TimesPierre Louys (1870-1925) was influential in symbolist circles, but was subsequently overshadowed by his prestigious friends: Gide, Valery, Debussy and Wilde – who dedicated `Salome` to him. An important critic, poet and novelist in his day, his reputation now rests on `The Woman and The Puppet`.
