''Schimmen van schoonheid'' (English "''Shades of beauty''") is a collection of short stories,〔 (Schimmen van schoonheid, Louis Couperus ), at the Database Nederlandse Letteren, retrieved February 12, 2013〕 written by Louis Couperus and published by Van Holkema & Warendorf in 1912.〔 (''Schimmen van schoonheid'' on Bookmeter ) - retrieved February 13, 2013〕 It is not known how many copies were printed for the first edition, but this edition was in any case sold out by 1929.〔 ('Genootschap Louis Couperus' ), ''Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant'', January 19, 1929 - retrieved February 13, 2013〕 The second edition was published in 1962 by Querido in the so-called Salamander series (number 71).〔 (Couperus collectie ) - retrieved February 13, 2013〕〔 ('Nieuwe boeken' ), in ''Gereformeerd Gezinsblad'', April 3, 1965 - retrieved February 13, 2013〕 ==Description== For the stories in Couperus' book ''Schimmen van schoonheid'' Couperus was inspired by classical antiquity and classical mythology. The story ''De Nacht van Ishthâr'' is about an Assyrian relief, such as that of Ashurbanipal in the British Museum, which comes to life. The story ''Frynè'' represents the triumph of the sensuous beauty, as personified in Phryne. The short story ''De Doop'' deals with the conversion of emperor Constantine the Great to Christianity, while ''De Gladiator'' takes place in the gladiator school in Ravenna. These two were first published in ''Het Vaderland''. The short story ''De Obsessie'' deals with Otto III, who longs for his bride and ''Het Raadsel'' is about the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. Couperus first offered many short stories, to be published in two books, ''Schimmen van schoonheid'' and ''De zwaluwen neêrgestreken'', to his publisher L. J. Veen. When Veen refused to accept Couperus' proposal these books were finally published by Van Holkema en Warendorf.〔 Frédéric Bastet, ''Louis Couperus. Een biografie.'' Amsterdam, 1987, p. 379-380.〕
