'I "HE contempt of literature which the sovereign .*- unconsciously testified by his gracious words and smiles did not amuse Alfred de Musset as much as it might have done; for his thoughts would recur to the days of Louis XIV., and he felt with keen regret the difference between the two eras. In vain I reminded him that, in our time, the public is the true Maecenas. The indifference of the chief of the nation weighed on his heart. He was ashamed of it, and unwilling'to allude to it, save in the chimney-corner. Yet the kind attentions and affectionate expressions of the Prince Royal were some consolation. He observed one day that there was a prince who would bring to the throne other ideas than those of Louis Philippe.

Book Description
Modeled after George Sand, this work gives us a young man observing Gamiani and a young girl, obligingly named Fanny, engaged in their lesbian bed. Having watched them and provoked by their gay abandonment, he reveals himself, joins them, and they spend the night alternately sharing their intimate histories and their bodies in orgies of almost religious intensity. The stories they tell include the rape of one in a monastery and the nearly fatal debauchment of another in a convent, as well as encounters with a number of animals. Author Edith Wharton had an unpublished work based on this text.
