'Saturnalia' features the most exciting, surreal and sadomasochistic extracts from a selection of classic masterpieces concerning sex and sexuality. From de Sade and Sacher-Masoch to Beardsley, Huysmans, Octave Mirbeau and many others, along with confessions as diverse as Swinburne and Li Yu.
Saturnalia gathers together prose that straddles the divide between erotic and literary fiction, and strips away the hidebound to give you a flavour of some of the most robust, fetishistic works ever written. Books which are a treat for anyone who likes to think about sex for themselves, and writing that has lost none of its power to thrill, excite and shock.
