{"product_id":"erotic-stories","title":"Rowan Pelling: Erotic Stories [2013] hardback","description":"A perfect gift of timeless erotic stories ranging from ancient Greek myth to modern stories of longing and lust. This beautifully jacketed Everyman's Library Pocket Classics hardcover anthology has a full-cloth binding and silk ribbon marker. Accounts of ardour and transgression also flow from unexpected pens: an astonishingly explicit scene from an unfinished novel by Edith Wharton, and Guy de Maupassant's heated tale of a young peasant woman offering her breast to a starving stranger on a train. Hunger is the fierce undercurrent to these stories: the gnawing lust of one lover for another, or the greedy pursuit of a particular inclination. The elegant depravity of an eighteenth-century French aristocrat, the dreamlike seductions of an Egyptian jinni in the form of a snake, the brutal anonymity of a highway truck-stop encounter--the stories in this richly varied collection reveal that the urge to articulate sexual desire is as inventive as it is timeless.","brand":"Pelling, Rowan","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":47183165129043,"sku":"XE81841596143","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":51053911015763,"sku":"9781841596143","price":21.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/pelling-rowan-rowan-pelling-erotic-stories-2013-hardback-1169751934.jpg?v=1748091198","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/erotic-stories","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
