About the author

Italian-French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, originally Wilhelm Apollinaris de Kostrowitzky, led figures in avant-garde literary and artistic circles.

A Polish mother bore Wilhelm Albert Włodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki, this known writer and critic.

People credit him among the foremost of the early 20th century with coining the word surrealism and with writing Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1917), the play of the earliest works, so described and later used as the basis for an opera in 1947.

not for the faint hearted! if you've come here from some misguided recommendation via 50 Shades of Grey, it probably won't be your cup of tea, haha! it thought that all though it was pretty disgusting in parts, it was also amusing.

This was a collection of 2 erotica novellas from the early 1900s. Very graphic and taboo stories.

[Michael X · Rating 5 out of 5]

Super-perverse erotica from turn of the century. Highly recommenebd if your sick and twisted. There are three book in this edition. The first two are good, but the last one by Aragon is a waste of time.
