This is the first Polish edition of the novel by the French writer Maurice Dekobry (owner Ernest Maurice Tessier, 1885-1973), who was one of the most widely read authors in France and Europe in the interwar period . The book was published in 1927 by the Cracow-based Pantheon Publishing House, translated by Kazimierz Na\u0142\u0119cz-Rych\u0142owski . <\/p>\n
“When you are a courtesan…” (French: Tu seras courtisane<\/em>) is a continuation of the adventures of the colorful heroine – Lady Diana Winham – known from the bestselling novel by Dekobra La Madone des sleepings<\/em> (“The Lady in the Sleeping Car”), which sold three hundred thousand copies within a year of its release . The trilogy about Lady Diana consisted of three parts: Prince Seliman<\/em> (1926), The Lady in the Sleeping Car<\/em> (1926) and The Purple Gondola<\/em> (1927) . “When you are a courtesan…” (1927) is the second part of the series . <\/p>\n Dekobra, a traveler, journalist for Le Figaro<\/em> and translator, is considered the father of “cosmopolitan literature,” whose characters traverse the world, combining adventurous, sensational and erotic plots . His style – full of accurate observations, elegance and light cynicism – attracted readers seeking high-level entertainment. In Poland, his books were translated, among others, by Kazimierz Na\u0142\u0119cz-Rych\u0142owski, who translated the three parts of the trilogy about Lady Diana . In 1951, Dekobra’s works were withdrawn from Polish libraries and censored . <\/p>\n 1638-19-A-Z<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Krakow [1927].<\/p>\n Pantheon Publishing.<\/p>\n 129 s. 19 cm. <\/p>\n First Polish edition.
