The Perfume Of Eros

Bag om The Perfume Of Eros

"The Perfume of Eros: A Fifth Avenue Incident" is a novel written by Edgar Saltus, an American author known for his decadent and often controversial works. The book was published in 1894 and falls into the genre of late 19th-century decadent literature, characterized by its emphasis on sensuality, aestheticism, and exploration of taboo subjects. "The Perfume of Eros" is set in New York City, particularly on Fifth Avenue, and explores themes of desire, decadence, and the clash of societal norms. The story revolves around a scandalous incident involving a young woman named Syrlin, who possesses an irresistible and provocative allure. As her presence disrupts the established order of upper-class society, the novel delves into the psychological and social consequences of Eros, the Greek god of love. Edgar Saltus's writing style in "The Perfume of Eros" is known for its poetic and elaborate prose, often bordering on the extravagant. The novel reflects the decadent movement's fascination with beauty, art, and the unconventional. However, it's important to note that Saltus's works were not always well-received by contemporary critics, as they challenged the moral and social conventions of the time. In summary, "The Perfume of Eros: A Fifth Avenue Incident" is a decadent novel that explores themes of desire and societal disruption in the context of late 19th-century New York City.
