Travel into a world of debauchery and taste the forbidden fruits of the Victorian-era with The Pearl: A Book of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading.
Originally published in twenty volumes between 1879 and 1881, The Pearl: A Book of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading is a collection of poetry, prose and sketches taken from the original underground magazine, presented uncensored and in its entirety.
In, "Miss Coote’s Confession," an elderly woman writes a series of letters reminiscening about her initiation into BDSM and lesbianism; "Lady Pokingham," recounts the life of a young woman sexuality corrupted by the lascivious Lord Crim-Con; "Sub-Umbra" follows the sexual awakening of young Annie in the presence of "She-Noodles"; and finally, "My Grandmother’s Tale," details the brutal sexualized flogging of a Black slave girl, making it’s mark as the first erotic story about American slavery. Filled with detailed scenes of orgies, fellatio, cunnilingus, masturbation, anal sex, and double penetration, these stories—among many others—lay bare a carnal feast of erotic pleasure for every taste.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Pearl: A Book of Facetiae and Voluptous Reading is a classic of erotic literature reimagined for modern readers.
