Book Description
This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.

Book Description
'Sécurité et discrétion! Hôtel du Libre-Échange, 220, rue de Provence! Recommandé aux gens mariés... ensemble ou séparément!...' Telle est la publicité qui, tombée entre les mains de l’entrepreneur Pinglet, suscite chez lui la folle envie de goûter enfin aux joies de l’adultère. Dans le Paris de la Belle Époque, tromper sa femme – même quand il s’agit de l’acariâtre Angélique Pinglet – n’a toutefois rien d’aisé. Pour serrer dans ses bras la jolie Marcelle, femme de son ami et collaborateur l’architecte Paillardin, Pinglet va devoir affronter une nuit de cauchemar et, dans l’hôtel borgne où il a réussi à l’attirer, échapper à tous ceux qui ne devraient pas se trouver là... Georges Feydeau, associé ici à Maurice Desvallières, repousse une fois de plus les limites de la mécanique vaudevillesque : comme Pinglet, spectateurs et lecteurs ne sont pas près d’oublier l’Hôtel du Libre-Échange...

Book Description
In the assembly-room of the Society of Aristocratic Flagellants, Mayfair, Colonel Spanker strives to confirm his thesis that the punishment of a refined young lady produces more exquisite pleasures than flogging lower-class women and prostitutes... Experimental Lecture by Colonel Spanker is one of the most notorious nineteenth-century English flagellant novels. Henry Spencer Ashbee's Catena Librorum Tacendorum describes it as 'the most coldly cruel and unblushingly indecent of any we have ever read, [it] stands entirely alone in the English language.' (Fraxi, 1885: 250) This edition of Experimental Lecture also includes the full text of The Yellow Room or, Alice Darvell's Subjection, a late Victorian novella focusing on the delights of birching and the pleasures of cruelty. Following the death of her aunt, beautiful Alice Darvell is sent to live with Sir Edward Bosmere, a stern disciplinarian and devotee of Venus Callipyge, who initiates her into the mysteries of the rod. The Yellow Room was first published in 1891. The name of the author, M. Le Comte du Bouleau, is a pseudonym. Authorship is attributed to an English lawyer, Stanislas Matthew de Rhodes (1857-1932). He is also credited with writing Gynecocracy (1893) and The Petticoat Dominant (1898), which are available from Birchgrove Press.

Book Description
At the start of the eighteenth century Louis XIV needed to remit huge sums of money abroad to support his armies during the War of the Spanish Succession. This book explains how international bankers moved French money across Europe, and how the foreign exchange system was so overloaded by the demands of war that a massive banking crash resulted.
