    Cruel portrait of hypocrisy. Who said Art was meant to please you?
  

*by R***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2017*

An absolute masterwork of disenchantment written by an old man. Bitter as few, Belle du Seigneur stands alone as a cruel outlook on love and classes. Written from his lonely tower when nothing mattered any more -because of death approaching-  surely this book was made to make the reader think, but also laugh, with the darkest of humours. It is not a book you will say you "loved it", for certainly can understand those who told me it was disgusting. Even more, it recreates itself in its disgusting parody of love, marriage and classism, showing the ridiculous side of many stupid conventional habits and beliefs. It is very subversive in that sense, subversive morality, never better said. Stupid greed and vanities are exposed to awful ridiculous and in what refers to this, it is a unique masterpiece of excellent Literature. Who said Art was done to please you? That is not always the purpose, neither has to be. Another thing is if you will have stomach to face page after page this marriage and fake love demolition. Destructive book? Depends. If you want to live deliberately cheated on that conventional concepts have to drive your life, then yes: for this novel breaks any of such things. It is an anatomy of stupidity and there lies its value. Many simple minded people live  voluntarily or not under all kind of "rules" and  "ideas" the majority of which would not bear a serious analysis. What here is shown is unpleasant but states truth, set things as they must not be. A hard book unless its black humour makes you take it easier. Subversive morality helps to change wrong habits, not punish adultery,  not to beat homosexuals, not to prosecute communists, or kill dark coloured people or whatever any other sinister medium age leftovers may try to rule your mind. This book fights against hypocrisy too. In a very cool way. As the high official Cohen was during his lifetime, he surely had to undergo a lot of hipocrisy and fake morality and in this book, fed up to the limit he may have been of all that, he took due revenge. Lucid, frozen, bitter, cruel, disgusting but right to the target: a great book, outstanding in every sense, perfectly written too.

    A True Classic
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2008*

Albert Cohen was born in 1895 on the island of Corfu which belonged to Greece at the time. His parents took him to France when he was five. He was French, not by birth but by adoption and conviction. He became a Swiss citizen, spent time in Egypt and generally speaking was one of those people that didn't really know where he belonged.  I can tell you where 'Her Lover(Belle du Seigneur)' belongs. It belongs on your bookshelf. Witty, intelligent, beautifully written.  All passion spent; the absurdity of love shall spend us.
