Description

The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners for Use in Educational EstablishmentsA bestselling author in his time, Pierre Lous (1870 1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Lous' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost.

A bestselling author in his time, Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Louÿs' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost. Since then, it has become clear that Louÿs is the greatest French writer of erotica there ever was. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners was the first of his erotic manuscripts to see publication, and it also remains his most outrageous--an erotic classic in which humor takes precedence over arousal. By means of shockingly filthy advice--ostensibly offered "for use in educational establishments"--couched in a hilariously parodic admonitory tone, Louÿs turns late-nineteenth-century manners roundly on their head, with ass prominently skyward. Whether offering rules for etiquette in church, school or home, or outlining a girl's duties toward family, neighbor or God, Louÿs manages to mock every institution and leave no taboo unsullied. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners has only grown more scandalous and subversive since its first appearance in 1926.

Great blanket
Size: Twin(60" x 80"), Color: Tie-dye Coffee
Luxurious look. It’s a soft faux fur on the top, with a beautiful and subtle variegated pattern that adds to the lifelike appearance. The inside of the blanket has a velvet feel and creates a cozy vibe. The blanket is a great size. It is well made with quality material with just the right amount of weight to help me relax and fall asleep.

Love it so much I got a second one
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Navy Blue, Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Navy Blue
This blanket is perfect for snuggling. The throw size is perfect for napping or relaxing. It’s unbelievably soft. Faux rabbit fur is how I’d describe it. The color is perfect and consistent. It’s got great weight to it. It definitely has the power of nap inducement. My kids keep trying to steal it when they watch movies with me so I got a second because I’m not sharing! I’d get it in king size if they made it that big. Quality is amazing. It’s basically double layered with the top being the fluffy, bubble side and the other is a smooth yet still soft underside. It’s worth every penny and if you see it on a deal - DO NOT WAIT! Pull it out of the box and prepare to luxuriate beneath this deliciously soft and warm blanket. You DO need it!
