Amongst maids, Marquesses, Lords, and lawyers, the pair will seek pleasures unparalleled and spend profusely therefrom. Front and back, all will saviour the forbidden delights that draw those of like demeanour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough lacking the torture that features in De Sade's works, Rétif's work is no less shocking, as each page is filled with lurid accounts of ruttings and gamahuching, tribadism and sodomy. This gem of Enlightenment era erotica brims with the wild abandon of the Libertinage movement, setting the standard for the literary naughtiness that would feature throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. A must addition for any collection of the once-forbidden and suppressed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCertainly not for the faint of heart\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67981532397875,"sku":"9781505877199","price":27.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/npjALbh_fd9781505877199.webp?v=1794559892","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/lanti-justine-the-delights-of-love-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
