One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history.

The classic novel of a young girl's exploration of physical pleasures.

Young Fanny Hill is tricked into a life of prostitution, but she quickly learns the power of her own body as she learns the ways of physical passion. She soon escapes her fate for the loving arms of a wealthy young man, but misadventure and fate conspire to keep her from domestic bliss.

Instead, Fanny discovers that sex need not be just for love; that it can be had for pleasure. She then sets out to explore those pleasures in as wide a variety as she can.

With old men and young, and women as well; in positions of power, and situations where she has none; either watching or participating, Fanny's journey through the realms of sexual pleasure is a literary tour-de-force.

Presented with classically bawdy illustrations from fin-de-siecle French artist Paul Avril, and an introduction placing the work in historical context, this complete, unexpurgated edition is the ultimate presentation of the original erotic novel.

Описание: The novel consists of two long letters (which appear as volumes I and II of the original edition) written by Frances 'Fanny' Hill, a rich Englishwoman in her middle age, who leads a life of contentment with her loving husband Charles and their children, to an unnamed acquaintance identified only as 'Madam.' Fanny has been prevailed upon by 'Madam' to recount the 'scandalous stages' of her earlier life, which she proceeds to do with 'stark naked truth' as her governing principle.The first letter begins with a short account of Fanny's impoverished childhood in a Lancashire village. At age 14, she loses her parents to smallpox, arrives in London to look for domestic work, and gets lured into a brothel. She sees a sexual encounter between an ugly older couple and another between a young attractive couple, and participates in a lesbian encounter with Phoebe, a bisexual prostitute. A customer, Charles, induces Fanny to escape. She loses her virginity to Charles and becomes his lover. Charles is sent away by deception to the South Seas, and Fanny is driven by desperation and poverty to become the kept woman of a rich merchant named Mr H-. After enjoying a brief period of stability, she sees Mr H- have a sexual encounter with her own maid, and goes on to seduce Will (the young footman of Mr H-) as an act of revenge. She is discovered by Mr H- as she is having a sexual encounter with Will. After being abandoned by Mr H-, Fanny becomes a prostitute for wealthy clients in a pleasure-house run by Mrs Cole. This marks the end of the first letter.

Описание:

Once upon a time, many, many years ago, God created a lovely forest. Surrounding the forest were beautiful mountains with snow-covered peaks. Big green trees grew on the mountains and on the forest floor. Below the mountains were winding streams with clear, cold running water that came from the melting mountain snow. Living in the forest were many different types of plants, animals, and birds. All the plants, trees, and wildlife spoke the same language and could talk to one another. They would also watch out for and protect each other. God looked down on His beautiful forest and was very pleased. This story is about a little dove and an old coyote. The little dove could sing beautiful songs that would echo throughout the entire forest. She was very proud of her lovely voice and thought she knew everything about everything there was to know in the forest. The coyote had been around for many, many years and was very wise in his old age. He had experienced and knew much more than little dove would ever know. One evening the coyote sensed that there was danger coming to the forest. He went throughout the forest warning everything to prepare for the coming danger. He spoke to the little dove high in her birch tree and warned her about the danger. The little dove did not listen to the coyote and did not follow his instructions. The little dove thought she was safe from any danger that might happen to the others, and it almost cost her life.
