PIERRE LOTI
The definitive biography of the eccentric bisexual naval officer, traveller, amateur acrobat, and best-selling novelist who was given a state funeral in 1923, the only French writer to have received such an honour other than Victor Hugo. Pierre Loti (born Julien Viaud in 1850) was himself his own fictional creation and lived his picaresque fantasies instead of just imagining them. Everything he wrote, novels included, is partly autobiographical. He had a powerful influence on Marcel Proust and Henry James. Bohemian, exotic and fiercely romantic; adored and scorned by French society in equal measure, Loti spent his life escaping the constraints of bourgeois France — and in so doing redef...
Pierre Loti and the Theatricality of Desire
Pierre Loti and the Theatricality of Desire offers an original analysis of patterns of unconscious desire observable in the life and work of the French orientalist writer Pierre Loti. It aims to reconcile attitudes and conduct that have been regarded as contradictory and not amenable to analysis by locating the unconscious urges that motivate them. It looks at the ambiguous feelings Loti expresses towards his mother, the conflicting desires inherent in his bisexuality, and his deeply ambiguous sense of a cultural identity as expressed through his cross-cultural transvestism. The political implications of this reappraisal are also considered, offering a potential reassessment of the apparentl...
Pierre Loti
Few authors have led lives as interesting as that enjoyed by French novelist and travel writer Pierre Loti (1850–1923)—and still fewer have worked so hard to make their lives appear even more romantic than they already were. As a career officer in the French navy, Loti participated in expeditions that took him to locales which even today seem exotic, giving rise to four decades of novels, travelogues, and autobiographical narratives, some of which went through hundreds of editions in France and were translated into dozens of languages.

Romance Of A Great Writer
First published in 2002. In this title, Edward B. D'Auvergne chronicles the life of Pierre Loti, written with fervent sympathy. We journey with Loti from Brittany to Constantinople, from China to Morocco, from Egypt to Isfahan, breathing all the way the atmosphere and recognising the sources of the stories. Readers will find the biography of Pierre Loti as fascinating as the tales for which he is deservedly renowned. By writing of his life, D'Auvergne argues that those with an interest in literature may understand Loti better and, in turn, better understand his writing.
Aziyadé
Salonicco, primavera 1876. Passeggiando per la città, il tenente della marina inglese Loti incrocia per caso, dietro le grate di un harem, lo sguardo di una splendida ragazza circassa, di nome Aziyadé. Un vagabondo ebreo lo aiuta a conoscerla, e i due giovani intrecciano una tenera passione clandestina. Nel giro di poco però la nave su cui il tenente presta servizio deve salpare e Loti si reca a Istanbul, dove comincia una nuova vita, calandosi nella magica atmosfera dell’antica capitale d’Oriente. Sarà lì che Aziyadé lo raggiungerà, per tornare a vivere insieme a lui le notti, fino a quando un’inesorabile guerra verrà a separare di nuovo i loro destini.
