Gamiani, Or Two Nights of Excess
Author: Alfred De MussetPublisher: olympiapress.com
ISBN: 9781596542211
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 60
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 Author Edith Wharton had an unpublished work based on this text.

The Complete Poetry and Translations of Clark Ashton Smith

Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Clark Ashton Smith was one of the most remarkable and distinctive American poets of the twentieth century. His tremendous output of poetry, totaling nearly 1000 original poems written over a span of more than fifty years, is of the highest craftsmanship and runs the gamut of subject matter from breathtaking "cosmic" verse about the stars and galaxies to plangent love poetry to pungent satire to delicate imitations of Japanese haiku. This edition prints, for the first time, Smith's entire poetic work, including hundreds of uncollected and unpublished poems. The poems have been arranged chronologically by date of writing, so far as can be ascertained. This first volume includes poetry from the first two to three decades of Smith's career, when he published such noteworthy volumes as The Star-Treader (1912), Ebony and Crystal (1922), and Sandalwood (1925). Smith's early work was written under the tutelage of the celebrated California poet George Sterling, but Smith quickly surpassed his mentor in the writing of cosmic and lyric verse. Smith's greatest poetic triumph, perhaps, was The Hashish-Eater, a poem of nearly 600 lines that strikingly evokes the myriad suns of unbounded space and the baleful monsters that may lurk therein. But Smith could also write such touching elegies as "Requiescat in Pace," a dirge for a woman whose death affected him deeply. All poems have been textually corrected by consultation with manuscripts and early appearances, and have been extensively annotated by editors S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz.

Book Description
The French dramatist and poet Alfred de Musset was a prominent figure of the Romantic Movement, who had come under the influence of Charles Nodier, Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from an early age. He became a dandy and embarked on a life of hectic sexual and alcoholic dissipation, as vividly narrated in his notorious novel ‘The Confession of a Child of the Century’. His works capture the essence of his times, when traditional values were under attack and many were ruled by their emotions rather than reason. This eBook presents Musset’s complete translated works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
