Product Description
Alfred de Musset relate les ébats trioliques de la comtesse Gamiani avec Fanny et Alcide. Deux nuits au cours desquelles chacun des personnages fait le récit de son initiation et de ses plus singuliers exploits d’alcôve, l’ensemble des scènes constituant une sorte d’encyclopédie des débauches.
Même si Alfred de Musset va assez loin dans ce texte, au point que nombreux sont ceux qui refusaient de croire qu'il ait pu l'écrire et qu'une rumeur courut pendant longtemps, disant que ce texte n'avait pas été écrit par ce cher Alfred, nous sommes bien loin de la pornographie bestiale, de la violence d'un Sade ou d'un Apollinaire. C'est de l'érotisme pur et dur, qui ne dérive pas, explore toutes les facettes, avec un je sais quoi de vaguement sentimental en arrière plan qui le différencie des deux auteurs précédemment cités. ...

Product Description
Pippo looked at her with such admiration that he was incapable of speaking. Whatever the circumstances, it is impossible to see a perfectly beautiful woman without astonishment and without respect. Pippo had often met Beatrice when out walking, and at private parties. He had himself praised her beauty a hundred times and had heard others do the same. She was a daughter of Pietro Loredano, member of the Council of Ten, and great-granddaughter of the famous Loredano, who took such an active part in the trial of Giacomo Foscari. The pride of this family was but too well known in Venice, and Beatrice passed, in the eyes of all, as having inherited the spirit of her ancestors. When still quite young, she had been married to the procurator Marco Donato, and the death of the latter had left her free and in possession of great wealth. ... Read more
