Georges Eekhoud Libri

Set in 19th Century rural Flanders, this early gay novel follows a count who returns home after years abroad, only to face hostility from a repressive community. His love for a peasant boy ignites fury among the villagers, fueled by a spurned girl. The narrative explores themes of love and societal prejudice, as the count educates his young lover about historical figures, including a boy-Emperor whose lover met a tragic fate. The story delves into the complexities of desire and identity within a conservative backdrop.
