{"product_id":"9781612275635","title":"Astral Amour","description":"\u003cp\u003eAstral amour by Willy (Henry Gauthier-Villars, 1859-1931, Colette’s husband) was originally published as an eight-part serial in the Nouvelle Revue between December 1900 and April 1901 and was never reprinted in book form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an account of the social and psychological aspects of the occult revival in the 19th century, Astral Amour does have the advantage of a unique originality. It is more a commentary on occult fantasy than an occult fantasy in its own right, although it is willing to use the fantastic as a casual literary device for the purpose of that examination. Neurocyme, the elemental woman given flesh by the novel’s protagonists Enogat de Sothermès and Doctor Callidulus, is described by them as a mixture of illusion and irony—and the same alchemical combination applies to the text, which is simultaneously all illusion and all irony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Coat Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057652711664,"sku":"9781612275635","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612275635_p0.jpg?v=1763844822","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612275635","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
