Colette herself considered The Pure and the Impure her best book, "the nearest I shall ever come to writing an autobiography." This guided tour of the erotic netherworld with which Colette was so intimately acquainted begins in the darkness and languor of a fashionable opium den. It continues as a series of unforgettable encounters with men and, especially, women whose lives have been improbably and yet permanently transfigured by the strange power of desire. Lucid and lyrical, The Pure and the Impure stands out as one of modern literature's subtlest reckonings not only with the varieties of sexual experience, but with the always unlikely nature of love.Binding Type: Paperback

Elegant Hammered Gold Plastic Forks That Don't Feel Cheap
Color: Gold Forks, Size: 60Pcs, Color: Gold Forks, Size: 60Pcs
These forks were a fun addition to our holiday table. They’re a bright, shiny gold with a hammered finish and honestly look much more expensive than they are. At a glance, they really do resemble real gold flatware.
They’re also surprisingly solid. These are not flimsy, fast-food-style plastic utensils. The forks feel sturdy in your hand and can easily handle everything from salad to steak—no bending tines or snapping. Once they’re on the table, you wouldn’t know they’re plastic until you pick them up. They only downside to them is that the design to have them come to a point at the end of the handle made it slightly uncomfortable in my hand while using it.
They’re an excellent option for weddings, parties, or any event where you want an elegant table setting without using real metal flatware. They also hand-wash well and can be reused multiple times, which makes them a nice choice even for at-home entertaining when you want something that looks special without the worry.
