Book Description
Flesh Unlimited is a compendium edition of three classic erotic/ surrealist novellas: Les Onze Mille Verges and Les Mémoires d'un Jeune Don Juan by Guillaume Appollinaire and Le Con d'Irène by Louis Aragon. Dadaist poet Guillaume Apollinaire fine-tuned his uniquely poetic and surreal vision to produce these two materpieces of the explicit erotic imagination at the turn of the century, works which compare with the best of the Marquis de Sade. In Les Onze Milles Verges, debauched aristocrat Mony Vibescu and a circle of fellow sybarites blaze a trail of uncontrollable lust, bloody cruelty and depravity across the streets of Europe. Whilst in Les Mémoires d'un Jeune Don Juan, a young man reminisces his sexual awakening at the hands of his aunt, his sister and their friends as he is utterly corrupted in a season of carnal excess. Louis Aragon's Le Con d'Irène is the intense story of a man's torment when he becomes fixated upon the genitalia of an imaginary woman and is reduced to voyeuristically scoping her erotic encounters in-between describing various events in brothels and other sexual adventures. Translated from the original, complete and unexpurgated versions by Alexis Lykiard (translator of Lautréamonts Maldoror), Flesh Unlimited has a general introduction and notes section.
Flesh Unlimited FROM THE PUBLISHER
Debauched aristocrat Mony Vibesco and a circle of fellow degenerates blaze a trail of uncontrollable lust and depravity across the streets of Europe. A young man reminisces his sexual awakening at the hands of aunt and sister as he is expertly schooled in the finer arts of Venus. Les Onze Mille Verges and Les Memoires D'Un Jeune Don Juan are the two notoriously wild and explicit erotic novellas crafted by Dadaist poet Guillaume Apollinaire at the turn of this century. Apollinaire fine-tuned his uniquely poetic and surreal vision to produce these two masterpieces of literary erotica, works which compare with the best of the Marquis de Sade. Both books are presented here in complete and unexpurgated versions for the very first time in English, in translations by Alexis Lykiard, with full introduction and annotation.
