Description
The Tutu Morals of the Fin de Siècle is a novel by Sapho (princesse) and Léon Genonceaux, first published in 1891. Its existence was long doubted, but a handful of copies have since surfaced, making this the first English translation available. This enigmatic work is a scatological, erotic, and Nietzschean exploration of fin-de-siecle morality, defying conventions with its gleeful dismemberment of traditional values. The novel's reputation as a lost masterpiece has only added to its allure, making it a fascinating read for those interested in the literary history of late 19th-century France. With only six copies of the original edition surviving, this publication offers a rare opportunity to experience a work that was once considered a fabrication.
