Parisian Frolics
$600.00 Add to cart[Adolphe Belot?]
London: For private circulation only, 1896.
Rare clandestine erotic fiction in English published circa 1920-1924. Four stories translated from the French by the author The Way of a Man with a Maid. “The first story in this collection is an English translation of ‘La Maison a Laisirs ou La passion de Gilberte’ (1889) … The final three stories are translated from ‘Les Heures Erotiques Modernes’ c. 1894. … The stories were possibly the work of Adolphe Belot, a popular French novelist of the 1880s. I believe the MS of this translation, .. were probably left unpublished by Carrington (who had published the same author’s Way of a Man with a Maid, and were sold with the rest of his stock at the Hotel Drouot in 1923. Since most of the stock was bought by Groves and Michaux, his partners and successors, they were probably responsible for getting them printed by Duflou, though it is equally possible that Hirsch, who also bought some Carrington material in 1923, got hold of these and arranged for their printing.” MENDES 210. -
