Like its companion volumes, this sampler of libidinous texts presents a journey through the classics of erotic writing – from the harems of the Pashas (A Night in a Moorish Harem) to the licentious boudoir of a Parisian libertine (The Altar of Venus); from the heat of a Spanish beach (With Open Mouth) to the less than chaste devotions of a French nunnery (The Pleasures of Lolotte).
These extracts provide the reader with a flavour of each of the dozen featured works.
