It is the story of a courtesan in search of true love which repeatedly proves ungraspable - insaisissable. Josiane de Valneige is young, beautiful and rich. She is also exhausted, depressed and despairing. Although scores of wealthy Parisians have been her lovers, she has loved none in return. And despite Josiane's fame as one of the fin de siecle's grandes horizontales, feted in every gossip column, the journey to success has revealed a flaw in her character: she has a heart. Her real self is never engaged. It is not enough to be universally loved. She needs, she yearns, to give her heart. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Courtesans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fame $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Courtisanes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Renommee $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814463 650 7 $a Courtesans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881707 650 7 $a Fame. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920123 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 651 7 $a France $z Paris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Anderson, Graham, $e translator. 830 0 $a Dedalus European classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC77895A1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
