Описание: Offers a tantalizing true story of vice and power in the Gilded Age South, as told through the life and times of the notorious Miss Belle. Secrecy was a moral code in the sequestered demimonde of prostitution in Victorian America, so little has been written about the Southern madam credited with inspiring the character Belle Watling in Margaret Mitchell`s Gone with the Wind.

Описание: This book portrays the imprisonment of a 60 year old man for the 'crime' of running a brothel in the northern Quaker town of Darlington. Starting with the day of sentence and whilst enduring the senseless and inhumane prison regime explicit recollections of happenings in the brothel. This man, married at the time was having an affair with a pretty 22 year old girl prior to and at the time of sentence. All is accidentally discovered by his wife whilst he is in prison, which leads to much heartache all round. It shows, through his eyes, the petty way the prison system runs and the cold indifference of a system supposed to support and retrain the inmate for a useful life in society. It portrays the lawyers and barristers that thrive on state money, not even doing the very basics, let alone the best for the client. It concludes with release day, this man having been completely stitched up by the system through the negligent defence lawyers, and still looming overhead is a 2.1 million confiscation order trial yet to follow. Does he get released to his wife or girlfriend, or nobody? Who is this man? ......... It's me, now 68 years old. Is it a story? ...........No, it's true, everything is as it happened but some names have been changed.

Описание:

Belle Brezing made a major career move when she stepped off the streets of Lexington, Kentucky, and into Jennie Hill's bawdy house -- an upscale brothel run out of a former residence of Mary Todd Lincoln. At nineteen, Brezing was already infamous as a youth steeped in death, sex, drugs, and scandal. But it was in Miss Hill's "respectable" establishment that she began to acquire the skills, manners, and business contacts that allowed her to ascend to power and influence as an internationally known madam.

In this revealing book, Maryjean Wall offers a tantalizing true story of vice and power in the Gilded Age South, as told through the life and times of the notorious Miss Belle. After years on the streets and working for Hill, Belle Brezing borrowed enough money to set up her own establishment -- her wealth and fame growing alongside the booming popularity of horse racing. Soon, her houses were known internationally, and powerful patrons from the industrial cities of the Northeast courted her in the lavish parlors of her gilt-and-mirror mansion.

Secrecy was a moral code in the sequestered demimonde of prostitution in Victorian America, so little has been written about the Southern madam credited with inspiring the character Belle Watling in Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Following Brezing from her birth amid the ruins of the Civil War to the height of her scarlet fame and beyond, Wall uses her story to explore a wider world of sex, business, politics, and power. The result is a scintillating tale that is as enthralling as any fiction.
