Synopsis
After the austerity, horror and bloodshed of World War I, France longed for joy, light-heartedness, and sexual freedom. Men and newly emancipated women alike rejected pre-war values and moral restraints. They embraced new lifestyles, and discovered a lust for extravagance, partying, and erotic experimentation that had the inter-war era known as the Roaring Twenties, or the mad years, and Paris as the City of Pleasure. In this uncensored and fascinating photographic record of the period, historian Alexandre Dupouy pulls backs the bedcovers on Pariss eye-opening erotic life, revealing the delights of its fetish scene, its licensed brothels and gay nightclubs, the first sex shop chains, erotic photography, pornography, and much more. This is an uncensored, titillating, and utterly fascinating look at the sexual excesses of the interwar period in what was arguably the worlds most decadent city.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Nach der Entbehrung, dem Schrecken und dem Blutvergießen im Ersten Weltkrieg sehnte sich Frankreich nach Freude, Unbeschwertheit und sexueller Freiheit. Sowohl Männer als auch neu emanzipierte Frauen nahmen neue Lebensstile an und entdeckten eine Lust an Extravaganz, Partys und erotischen Experimenten. In dieser faszinierenden fotografischen Aufzeichnung dieser Zeit zieht der Historiker Alexandre Dupouy die Bettdecken vom erotischen Leben in Paris zurück und enthüllt die Freuden der Fetischszene, die lizenzierten Bordelle und schwulen Nachtclubs, die ersten Sexshop-Ketten, erotische Fotografie, Pornografie und vieles mehr. Dies ist ein unzensierter und prickelnder Blick auf die sexuellen Exzesse der Zwischenkriegszeit in der wohl dekadentesten Stadt der Welt. (Text engl.)\\nAltersgruppe: Erwachsene 176 pp. Englisch.
