Salve is a novel written by George Moore and published in 1912. The book tells the story of a young Irishman named Martin Luther King who, after experiencing a crisis of faith, decides to leave the priesthood and pursue a life of pleasure and decadence. Martin travels to Paris, where he becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals and begins to explore his sexuality.As Martin immerses himself in the hedonistic world of Parisian bohemia, he struggles to reconcile his newfound freedom with his Catholic upbringing. He becomes embroiled in a series of passionate affairs with both men and women, including a wealthy American heiress and a young French artist. Along the way, he grapples with questions of morality, religion, and artistic expression.Throughout the novel, Moore explores themes of sexuality, religion, and the tension between tradition and modernity. Salve is a complex and thought-provoking work that offers a glimpse into the artistic and intellectual milieu of early 20th-century Paris.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
