ecstasy a study of happiness a novel

Book cover
Ecstasy is the story of young widow roused out of the torpor of her solitude by a dalliance with a courtly womanizer. It is written in a dreamily impressionistic style whose primary concern is to capture its heroine's eternally shifting moods at their most ineffable and ephemeral. This title is not just glibly rhetorical. The heroine and her suitor never consummate their passion no even exchange so much as a kiss; ecstasy is all. Louis Couperus (b. 1863) was a prolific and cosmopolitan writer whose work has been compared to Thomas Hardy's. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
