More about the book

Set in 17th century France, this erotic novel weaves a complex narrative involving a supposed original Spanish work by poet Luisa Sigea, which was later translated into Latin by Johannes Meursius. The story explores themes of love and desire through a satirical lens, reflecting the cultural and literary dynamics of the time. Its convoluted publication history, with multiple translations across languages, adds a layer of intrigue to its reception and legacy in erotic literature.
