Louÿs published his first novel, Aphrodite - in 1896. It tells the love story between Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Démétrios. A depiction of daily life in Alexandria, it is considered a mixture of both literary excess and refinement, and, numbering at 350,000 copies, was the best selling work by any living French author in his day.

Excellent quality
Size: Large, Color: Purple
Perfect tuxedo to use for many functions. Got it about 2 years ago and have used it probably twice for galas as well as awards programs. Fits to size and didn’t break the bank. Texture is good and it is easy to pair with anything as well as is reusable.
