Le ton de l'ouvrage est vif, voire lapidaire, le style particulièrement cru et chatoyant. Pierre Louÿs use volontiers d'ironie pour évoquer les amours viles des jeunes filles perverses, et cette relative distanciation lui permet de faire fi de toute censure morale (inceste, pédophilie). De fait, on est loin du raffinement précieux des Chansons de Bilitis par exemple, et le Manuel de civilité est sans doute l'œuvre la plus subversive de Louÿs, véritable attaque en règle contre le puritanisme bourgeois de la Belle Époque.

Sous l'action des Scaythes effaceurs, l'humanité s'abîme peu à peu dans le néant. Son dernier espoir repose sur les guerriers du silence, ces êtres légendaires qui voyagent sur les pensées.

Mais douze disséminés à travers les mondes, pourchassés et persécutés, douze qui s'ignorent eux-mêmes pour la plupart.
