FROM THE PUBLISHER - This powerful novel of the flesh has been the Number One bestseller in Holland, with over 350,000 copies sold, and an international success in England, France, Germany and the Scandinavian countries. The narrator is a young painter, Rabelaisian in life-style, who describes his tempestuous love affair and marriage with Olga, the ravishing red-haired daughter of stolid bourgeois parents. He relates their life together with gusto, comedy and explicit scenes of love. Olga leaves him for other men and other marriages and finally dies, with the artist by her side. The film version of TURKISH DELIGHT was released by Columbia Pictures in both Europe and the United States. It was an Academy Award foreign film nominee. inventory #3519. Seller Inventory # z3519
