Résumé du livre
Novel by Baron Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen, who was exiled to Capri after his 1903 arrest in France for indecent assault and exciting minors to debauchery. Lord Lyllian is a somewhat autobiographical novel including descriptions of fin de siècle excesses, inspired by Fersen's own sexual and romantic encounters with adolescent boys and his opium addiction. The novel includes a character inspired by Oscar Wilde, and is one of the first novels written about Wilde after his death in 1900.
