A perfect gift of timeless erotic stories ranging from ancient
Greek myth to modern stories of longing and lust. This beautifully
jacketed Everyman's Library Pocket Classics hardcover anthology has
a full-cloth binding and silk ribbon marker. Accounts of ardour and
transgression also flow from unexpected pens: an astonishingly
explicit scene from an unfinished novel by Edith Wharton, and Guy
de Maupassant's heated tale of a young peasant woman offering her
breast to a starving stranger on a train. Hunger is the fierce
undercurrent to these stories: the gnawing lust of one lover for
another, or the greedy pursuit of a particular inclination. The
elegant depravity of an eighteenth-century French aristocrat, the
dreamlike seductions of an Egyptian jinni in the form of a snake,
the brutal anonymity of a highway truck-stop encounter--the stories
in this richly varied collection reveal that the urge to articulate
sexual desire is as inventive as it is timeless.
