Fanny Hill : Or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

by John Cleland
Fanny Hill : Or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure - Thryft
Fanny Hill : Or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure - Thryft

Sensual entertainment meets philosophical concepts of sexuality.

For those seeking an enjoyable and thought-provoking erotic read, Fanny Hill offers a unique blend of parody, sensual entertainment, and philosophical exploration of sexuality not typically found in traditional erotic literature. Although controversial, its historical significance and contribution to the English novel make it a worthwhile read for those interested in the Age of Enlightenment and the evolution of erotic fiction.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
