Overview
Daudet based 'Sappho' on his love affair with Chien Vert, a notorious tart. He wrote it when he was already beginning to suffer from the syphilitic paralysis which eventually killed him, and the story is a moral tale intended for his sons to read at 20. It is an evocative portrait of a glorious demi-mondaine, an artist's model still more moving that the works she inspires. Sappho's helplessness and sexual beauty are responsible for the progressive moral and spiritual collapse of her lover. The book is a set-piece illustrating the mauling decadence inflicts on hope.
