About this book

The Little House: An Architectural Seduction by Bastide, Jean-Francois. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781568980171.

Rodolphe El-Khoury translates and introduces this first English edition of The Little House, a forgotten masterpiece of 18th-century literature. The book is an important but overlooked architectural document, and has become an underground classic among architects and architectural historians. The Little House narrates a plot of seduction as it gradually unfolds in a visit to an architectural and artistic gem—a maison de plaisance in suburban Paris—enacting a tale of seduction, affect, and desire. Princeton Architectural Presss The Little House is the first English edition of La petite maison to be published since the original French edition was released in 1879.
