LILIANE AND PAUL by Heinrich MANN - Translation by A. Helia & O. Bournac - Éditions KRA (6 rue Blanche, Paris) - Literary Collection Cosmopolitan series - Facsimile of an autograph page and portrait Heinrich Mann - 1927 - 134 pages - Soft cover. In Nice, where she seeks fortune with the pretensions of a courtesan, Liliane has fallen into the arms of Paul, a penniless young man. The two lovers live on expedients. It is then that a very rich old man offers them his protection, and claims to be the ambiguous, omnipresent witness of their loves... Such is the starting point of this story which takes up themes dear to Heinrich Mann and his famous Professor Unrat: desire and degradation, greed and dereliction. But in the ambiguous resistance that the two young people oppose to the old man's benefits, a Faustian dimension quickly appears, which offers a merciless reading of 'happiness'... because it is unadorned. Here, moreover, is a text illuminated by a cruel lucidity.
