Synopsis
An extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the mistress of erotic writing
In Delta of Venus, Anais Nin pens a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'There are so many minor senses, all running like tributaries into the mainstream of sex, nourishing it. Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.' These exquisitely sensual stories, peopled with prostitutes, aristocracy,artists, mistresses and lovers, unfold against the opulent decadence of Bohemian Paris. Profoundly erotic, they depict a world where passion may be satisfied in any number of ways and the only limits to pleasure are the boundaries of the imagination. In her attention to detail, to the look, sound and taste of all she describes, Anais Nin truly created her own 'language of the senses' when she wrote Delta of Venus. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001206126
