Delta of Venus

<strong>From influential feminist artist and essayist Anais Nin <em>Delta of Venus</em> is one of the most important works of modern female erotica and a joyous display of the erotic imagination (<em>The New York Times Book Review</em>).</strong>In this story collection Anais Nin pens a lush magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. This is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from a master of erotic writing.Inventive sophisticated . . . highly elegant naughtiness.--Cosmopolitan
