Book Description
My Beloved Toto, a collection of letters written by Juliette Drouet to her lover, Victor Hugo, tells the story of a life and of the great love affair that shaped it. From 1833 until her death half a century later, Drouet wrote to Hugo twice daily on average, resulting in thousands of letters. The 186 translated here—most appearing in English for the first time—offer insights into nineteenth-century French culture as well as an insider's look at the character, behavior, working habits, and day-to-day life of France's most monumental man of letters.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
From internationally renowned novelist Anne-Marie Villefranche comes another pair of novels in her series of narratives of impropriety set in 1920s Paris. This volume contains two classic novels of erotica, Mysteries d'Amour and Folies d'Amour, each detailing a lavish story of desire set in the lusty boudoirs of the city. Villefranche's d'Amour novels have previously focused on the pleasures of love, the joys of love, and most memorably, the follies of love, but this book focuses on love's mysterious nature. From the back streets of Montmartre to the opulent hotels on the Rue de Rivoli, the City of Lights casts an erotic and unforgettable spell. "An erotic tribute to the Paris of yesteryear that will delight modern readers." — The Observer (London)
