About this item

by Rachilde (Author), Lauren Fischer (Translator), Eleanor Keane (Foreword by)

From Rachilde, Queen of the Decadents, comes a novel set in Belle Époque Paris about a passionate young woman who lives for love. Laure Lordès escapes her hometown amid scandal, following her lover to the city to live like a pet in a gilded cage. But when a feral kitten touches Laure's heart and she begins to change, she learns that being true to herself and her young charge is harder than she ever imagined. First published in 1893 by Rachilde-a fiercely independent author who explored provocative sexuality and characters-The Animal is arguably her finest work. Translated here into English for the first time, the story unfolds into a stunning conclusion.
