Description

The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners for Use in Educational EstablishmentsA bestselling author in his time, Pierre Lous (1870 1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Lous' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost.

A bestselling author in his time, Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Louÿs' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost. Since then, it has become clear that Louÿs is the greatest French writer of erotica there ever was. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners was the first of his erotic manuscripts to see publication, and it also remains his most outrageous--an erotic classic in which humor takes precedence over arousal. By means of shockingly filthy advice--ostensibly offered "for use in educational establishments"--couched in a hilariously parodic admonitory tone, Louÿs turns late-nineteenth-century manners roundly on their head, with ass prominently skyward. Whether offering rules for etiquette in church, school or home, or outlining a girl's duties toward family, neighbor or God, Louÿs manages to mock every institution and leave no taboo unsullied. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners has only grown more scandalous and subversive since its first appearance in 1926.

Excellent Mock Neck T-Shirts
Color: Wine Red, Navy Blue, Black, Size: Medium
 As a man who appreciates comfort and style, I can confidently say these August Alley mock neck t-shirts are a solid choice. I'm always looking for versatile basics, and these fit the bill perfectly. The cotton material feels great against the skin, and they've held their shape well after a few washes. I appreciate the slim fit; it looks modern without being too tight. Whether I'm wearing them casually or layering them under a jacket, they always look sharp. For the price, getting a 3-pack of these quality shirts is a fantastic deal. Highly recommend them for any guy looking to upgrade his basic tee collection.

Comfortable, lightweight, and very practical
Size: 40, Color: Black
These Vcansion cargo shorts are extremely comfortable and easy to wear. The cotton fabric is lightweight and breathable, making them great for warm weather. The loose fit gives plenty of room to move without feeling baggy or sloppy. The multiple pockets are a big plus. They’re well sized and actually usable, which makes these shorts perfect for casual wear, travel, or working around the house. They sit comfortably at the waist and feel well made for the price. If you want casual shorts that are comfortable, functional, and versatile, these are a great buy. I’d definitely pick up another pair.

​Best lightweight cargo shorts I own!
Size: 34, Color: Black, Size: 34, Color: Black
These are my new go-to shorts for summer. The cotton material is breathable and feels great—you barely notice you're wearing them. I love the classic look and the practical design; the loose fit allows for maximum comfort and movement. All of the multi-pockets are sturdy and well-sewn, making them perfect for camping, fishing, or just relaxing. They hold up perfectly in the wash. Excellent value, fit, and utility
