Teleny (1893) is an erotic novel published anonymously, yet often
attributed to Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. Considered one of the
first works of fiction to openly depict homosexuality, Teleny is
the story of Camille Des Grieux's sexual awakening, the obstacles
he faces from society as a gay man, and the passionate moments
shared between lovers from all walks of life. "As I listened to his
playing I was spell-bound; yet I could hardly tell whether it was
with the composition, the execution, or the player himself. At the
same time the strangest visions began to float before my eyes.
First I saw the Alhambra in all the luxuriant loveliness of its
Moorish masonry-those sumptuous symphonies of stones and bricks-so
like the flourishes of those quaint Gipsy melodies. Then a
smouldering unknown fire began to kindle itself within my breast."
At a concert with his mother, Camille Des Grieux finds himself
fiercely attracted to the young man on stage, the brilliant
Hungarian pianist Teleny. As their eyes meet for the first time,
Camille knows they are meant to be together. Despite the
restrictions placed on gay men, despite the stories he has heard of
Teleny as an unfaithful lover, Camille introduces himself. Filled
with heated scenes of romance between its insatiable cast of
characters, Teleny is an erotic novel that continues to entertain,
shock, and surprise over a century after it was published. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Teleny is a classic work of Victorian erotica
reimagined for modern readers.
