In one notorious scene, a girl tries to wash embarrassing white stains off her dress after sexual intercourse with Sanin(e). Book was censored when it first came out. PLEASE NOTE: As sometimes happened with the Modern Library printings, the dust jacket "leaping torchbearer" is going to the left and has 190 titles listed at back (indicating First Edition), while the book cover has a leaping torchbearer going to the right (with a First Modern Library 1931 on copyright page). Despite these oddities, this is the actual a First Modern Library book and dust jacket of Sanine. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF SUCCESS ON ABEBOOKS.
