Most famous French erotic novel apart from de Sade
The most famous erotic novel in the French language, apart from those of the Marquis, is
"Gamiani", attributed
to Alfred de Musset. This book, hardly heard of in modern England, went through forty one
editions before 1930.
In one preface it is claimed that the author wrote it to prove that an erotic novel could be
written without resort
to "coarse" words. The theme in "Gamiani" - the title is from the surname of the
heroine- is largely lesbian. A
young man inadvertently witnesses a lesbian scene, whereupon he comes out of the cupboard
and joins in. Most
of the book is occupied with the ensuing love triangle. One scene has Gamiani climbing onto
the erection of a
just hanged man. The plot ends with the two lesbians taking poison and experiencing orgasm
and death
simultaneously. A happy tale.
