Gamiani, or Two Passionate Nights (1833) is a novel by Alfred de
Musset. Published anonymously to widespread controversy and
commercial success, de Musset's lesbian erotic novel was inspired
by his own heated affair with George Sand, a French novelist who
pursued relationships with men and women throughout her life.
Attending a dance at the opulent home of the Countess Gamiani,
Alcide hears a rumor about his hostess' sexual appetites.
Intrigued, he remains behind after the guests have left, hoping to
join her for a romantic tryst: "I made up my mind to watch her that
night, to conceal myself somewhere in her bedroom. The glass door
of her dressing room faced the bed. I knew that. I realised at once
the advantage of that spot; and hiding between dresses hung up, so
that I could see unseen, I resolved to patiently await the orgy."
Finding her in bed with a young woman named Fanny, Alcide soon
makes his presence known. Between scenes of intense passion, the
women share stories of sexual escapades between men, women,
priests, nuns, and animals. Gamiani, or Two Passionate Nights is a
masterpiece of erotic fiction that remains an object of interest to
scholars of queer representation in the history of art. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Alfred de Musset's Gamiani, or Two Passionate
Nights is a classic work of erotic literature reimagined for modern
readers.
