Question ID: 557418
I would like a quick summary or synopsis of the book "The girl Beneath
the Lion" by DE MANDIARGUES, ANDRE PIEYRE translated by HOWARD,
RICHARD. I cannot find any information on the book and/or cliff notes
or a description.

I am trying to decipher the Grove Press cover design that has a
abstract, tightly cropped photograph of a women's head in the lower
right hand corner. Above her is a moon like shaped object.

I don't know if there is a connection to the text in terms of
astrology, or danger, etc.

Best.

Hello ndrew-ga

Thank-you for your question.

I have been able to track down a couple of descriptions of the story
from the Abebooks website.

"Story of self awareness, discovery and passion."
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=136866304

"Two young women, Vanina and her friend Juliette, vacation on the
island of Sardinia, bathing in the Mediterranean, lying in the hot sun
on the beaches, and strolling through the marshes and pinelands of the
island. Vanina, cool and determined, meets by chance a handsome young
man of twenty, and instantly decides to give her virginity to him. But
this act will be performed with all the methodical sureness of a
primitive, pagan rite."

I hope this synopsis/summary is sufficient to help you begin to
decipher the cover of the copy you possess.  If you require any
further information on this subject do not hesitate to ask for
clarification and I will do my best to respond swiftly.
