Profusely illustrated history of prostitution. *** "Fille de joie, lady of the evening, lady of pleasure -- delightful euphemisms. The fille de joie is seen variously as mysterious, remote, and incredibly sinful; desirable and corrupt, magnetic and repellent. The one undeniable fact about her is that she has plied her trade in all times, wherever there have been men. If ever an institution has shown popularity and universality it has been this one . . . The literature of the fille de joie is vast and rich, but no book like Fille de Joie exists. Never has there been a collection of writings on the subject with such variety, range, excitement, and fascinating fact . . . Fille de Joie's 371 illustrations comprise the largest and best collection of pictures ever assembled for a book on this subject. Many of them come from sources inaccessible to the public and have never before been reproduced." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Gone are the days, by Nell Kimball; My short and lively stay in Ancona, by Giacomo Casanova; Galerie Fille de Joie; Nymphets of Naples, by Anonymous; The grotto for demigods, by Li Yu ; New York call girl, by Virginia McManus; Masques A French mistress, by Frank Harris; The mysteries of Venus, by John Cleland; Los Angeles sporting girl, by Pearl Thompson; Curiosa; Juarez, by Lois O'Connor; Mama and the Mammy-freak, by Nelson Algren; How the Grand Vizir's wife became a harlot, by Sheik Nefzawi; From My secret life, by Anonymous; The rise and fall of a harlot, by Kshemendra; The life of the call girl, by Harold Greenwald; Bangkok: a guidebook; Harems and baths; The Sicilian woman and the Florentine, by Giovanni Boccaccio; Advice from the Kama Sutra, by Vatsyayana; Enterprise; Two stories: The False gems; The Signal, by Guy de Maupassant; Stradella, by James Sherwood; Arrangements; Entrance fee, by Alexander Woollcott; Closing night in Rome, by George St. George; Maisons; Prizes for girls, by Frank Harris; A courtesan of Alexandria, by Pierre Louys; In the floating world, by Iharu Saikaku; This indolence of mine, by Italo Svevo; Royal mistresses; Maidenhead, by The Marquis de Sade; Hsi men and the sixth Wang, by Anonymous; College Joe, by Robert Gover; The pros of Paris, by Sam Boal; Madams; New York madam, by Polly Adler; For the first time, by Theodore Pratt; London today, by John Gosling and Douglas Warner; Company, girls!, by Herbert Asbury Street scenes;Tokyo after dark, by William Fitzpatrick; The education of a courtesan, by Lucian; Gringos, by Michael Rumaker; Four filles de Paris, by Henry Miller.
