Description

The Juggler (La Jongleuse) is a decadent novel that explores themes of gender and psychoanalytic theory. Written by Rachilde in 1900, it is a work of fiction that challenges the conventions of its time. The protagonist, Eliante Donalger, is a complex and intriguing character who defies traditional norms of beauty and desire. Her unconventional relationships and desires are portrayed as a natural part of human experience, rather than something to be suppressed or ashamed of. The novel's exploration of these themes is both provocative and thought-provoking. With its surprising twist ending, The Juggler is a major rediscovery that offers readers a unique and captivating reading experience.
