Olympia Press: 494 books

Story of Vincente, a quiet, respected man, who takes a long road to hell.

He could have lived his life out in the shadows of impotence. He was an apartment house janitor and contact with others was always second-hand: the remnants of their lives in wastepaper baskets, suggestive letters dropped carelessly in balls, sometimes a crumpled, sexy photograph. His first impulse was to call the police. They were naked. So instead, he watched. And watched. And watched...

Lela Seftali is a cosmic lust sinner with bells on her fingers and rings on her toes, she wants to share love wherever she goes. This is the book, the first of its kind, the most vibrant, debauched, insolent little book ever. It will capture your thoughts and invade your dreams, and its will philters will seduce your soul forever.

“A piece of your what?” She grinned. “MIND,” she spelled. As interested as I was in hearing whether or not mangy Moseberg had had his chance, just looking at Freda standing in front of me, a bottle of Scotch in each hand, and a strapless, backless, neckless, and damn near clothless...

Partial (i.e., bowderlized) translation of Jin, Ping, Mei. Interestingly, the Olympia Press also produced a far-shorter, shall we say enhanced version of the same tale. In any event, this spinoff from Outlaws of the Marsh may be of interest to the more scholarly-minded among us. A fascinating tale of the Golden Lotus.

Trocchi's first novel, and considered by many his most succesful bit of erotica (though there were so many good ones by this author), is the tale of Helen, a girl born to a rural village in Northwest Australia (about as isolated a place as it gets), and a woman of the sea, like that other Helen...

Street Music is the story of Linnet Mitchell, a young and gently-bred New York girl, who marries Claude Mitan and goes to live with him in his native Paris. At first Linnet is enchanted by her new surroundings: the color and movement in the streets and cafes and in the small hotels that crowd the quarter...

Author le Valle is back, with his inimitable published-in-Paris style, describing wild nights between four young, beautiful, licentious wives, and the many things ladies will do to each when their husbands are away.

What drove this 18th Century nobleman to pen the works that made the name de Sade forever infamous? His life was a sorry record of imprisonment for the terrible deeds he perpetrated. But what of his books? Revolutionist, gaolbird, sentenced to die--and yet, also a Chief Justice finally deposed by the...

A gender-bending piece of strangeness, starring Taffy, the male but quite bisexual lead. We've just spent a month trying to figure out if, judging by the poems, Diane di Prima might have been involved. (No confirmations there... but we're not lying... she isn't selling that well.) First published 1969.

In this sequel, Connie splits off from Mellors, finding intellectual stimulation and affirmation among expats in Paris and Egypt. Eventually the pair reunite, with the stalwart gamekeeper, who embodied fertility and manliness--things that, in Lawrence's eyes, England needed to rebound from the horrors...

Roman de Violette is the tale of a beautiful girl, the object of desire for both a young man and a rather determined lesbian, culminating in a fabulous menage-a-trois. The book was first published 1870 and attributed (posthumously) to Dumas. The translation dates from 1897.

An 18th Century French work that's often compared to Fanny Hill. Young Margot advances from middle-class mending-girl to courtesan, climbing atop not a few partners in the process.

Another work by Akbar del Piombo (Norman Rubington), offering any number of group activities, and again featuring Duke Cosmo in a supporting role.
