Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Pan Printing. Hardback. Translated from the French by Harry Mathews. There is no such thing as a happy or a free prostitute, and Jeanne Cordelier gives us the truth. At the age of 16 she was living in a slum in the Paris suburbs, working in a factory and about to be married. Her mother was an alcoholic and her father violated her. Temptation and the prospect of the good life were unexpectedly put in her way in the guise of a flashy, chrome-covered car parked next to her father's rusting bicycle. She tracked down its owner, Gerard, who was as glittery as his car. Following the first of nine abortions she started earning a living for Gerard, the pimp. After five years of prostitution, a life of brothels and street-walking, of greedy policemen and callous madams, Jeanne Cordelier bravely decided to leave, to make the gigantic leap out of 'the life'. This extraordinary vivid book reads like a novel. But it is not a book for the voyeur - it is all too agonisingly real. Jeanne Cordelier writes candidly of all the grim aspects of a life of prostitution. But despite the misery and humiliation, she never lost her sense of humour, her perspectiveness, her courage. The Life is a fascinating account of the oldest profession. 383 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
