Mr. Antiphilos, Satyr is a French novel written by Remy de Gourmont and first published in 1922. The book tells the story of a satyr named Antiphilos who is living in the modern world. Antiphilos is a creature of Greek mythology who is half-man and half-goat, known for his love of wine and women. In this novel, he is depicted as a mischievous and sensual being who is constantly seeking pleasure and adventure.The story begins with Antiphilos wandering through the streets of Paris, where he encounters various characters and engages in a series of erotic encounters. He also reflects on his past experiences and muses on the nature of love, desire, and human sexuality.As the novel progresses, Antiphilos becomes increasingly disillusioned with the modern world and its values, which he sees as shallow and materialistic. He longs for a return to the simpler, more primal world of his ancestors, where pleasure and instinct were valued above all else.The book is notable for its vivid and sensual descriptions of Antiphilos's experiences, as well as its exploration of themes such as sexuality, spirituality, and the nature of humanity. It is considered a classic of French literature and a seminal work of the Decadent movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
