Omschrijving

The second volume showcasing the collected fictions of Sandrine Bessancort opens with "The Horla Revisited" and describes what becomes of a carefree Parisian playboy's life in nineteenth-century France after he takes lodgings in the home of a rather odd widow... A widow who takes her nourishment and her pleasures in ways that will change the life of her guest for all eternity.

This is followed by "The Parasite Revisited" in which a highly logical and somewhat conceited Professor is about to have his core beliefs challenged by a woman of colour visiting London from the colonies who professes the power to overcome the will of others and demand their complete obedience for as long as she requires it... And the superior condescension of the smug English Professor ensures she will be requiring his fealty to her for a long time to come.

Ms Bessancort concludes the volume with "The Interruption Revisited" as a conniving and debauched housekeeper in Victorian England uses her knowledge of her master's poisoning of his wife to elevate her social standing... And lower his!

This is volume-two of "The Decadence of Eve" containing three of Sandrine Bessancort's re-imagined and female-led fictions from the classics of antiquity.
