[Eric Losfeld], [printed by Jean-Marie Monnerie & les presses De la S.N.I.L], n.d., 1959-1960. £1,200.00 First wrapper a trifle dusty and faded, the second leans a little, tatty glacine, wear on head and tail of backstrip, the oversized edges are a little bumped. Erroneous French bookseller's pencil note in 2. Rare in commerce (where bibliographic confusion reigns supreme) and institutionally, possibly very rare. We can find only two definitive copies of the first volume, one of those of course is another copy that Santo Domingo acquired that is now in the Houghton Library. In the same WorldCat search we found one copy only of the Anti-Vierge in the BnF. Dutel 147 & 1471, Pia 415 & 416. Provenance: from the collections of Jean-Pierre Faur and Emmanuel Pierrat. This anonymous and very clandestine book with no publisher, printer, date or place stated is ar- guably one of the most celebrated and discussed erotic novels of the twentieth-century that perhaps ranks with ? Histoire d'O ' in terms of audience recognition and literary inspiration. Dutel notes that it was written as one continuous manuscript but sundered in two for 'raisons e?ditoriales' , this scission was corrected by an advert on the last leaf for ? l'Anti-Vierge '. Dutel goes on to describe the story as '.the initiation of a young woman into a new way of thinking and living, dedicated solely to the pleasure of sex, but intense and ceaseless' . The author was a French diplomat who later released it under the nom de plume ? Emmanuelle Arsan ' which was in turn revealed to be a foil for his wife which was of course a mask for him. The first book was banned for the first time in 1960 and the second in 1963, but was, of course, lauded to high heaven by Andre? Breton in the Nouvelle Revue Franc?aise (Dutel). At the time of writing this, Wikipedia seems to claim that the author's Thai wife Marayat Rollet-Andriane wrote the novel after all. The softcore film based on the books starring Sylvia Krystel was a massive success, the wicker chair she sat in, bare breasted, for the film poster was perhaps as famous in its time as Christine Keeler posed on a Jacobsen like chair for Lewis Morley ten years before. The pair reunited are an essential erotic book with attractive provenance from two great collections of erotica. 243725.
