The novel “Naked in the Mirror” (1953) is the last and most mature work of the well-known American writer and poet George Sylvester Viereck (1884–1962), where, as if in a focus, the main motives of his creative work are gathered: harmony in the relationship between a man and a woman at the physiological and psychological level, the nature of sexual attraction, physical immortality and eternal youth. The narrative is built in the form of a chain of fascinating stories about the great lovers of the past—from King Solomon to Napoleon—where the story of each of them receives an unexpected interpretation.
