Die Liebe und das Leben - in aller Leichtigkeit und Leidenschaft, mit ihren Abgründen und ihren Vergänglichkeit - das sind die Hauptthemen dieser Novellen. Von der Erotik des Augenblicks über die Düsternis des Wahnsinns bis zur bitteren Erkenntnis der Endlichkeit aller Dinge spannt sich der Bogen, in dem der meisterhafte Beobachter und Erzähler Maupassant die Tiefen des menschlichen Herzens auslotet.
Maupassant hat etwa 300 Novellen geschrieben. Er gilt als einer der großen französischen Erzähler des 19. Jahrhunderts. (Zusammenfassung von Hokuspokus)

While hunting, the boy Anchises stumbles upon Venus's forest retreat and is so kindly entertained by the goddess that he becomes the proud father of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's Aeneid. The poem is an epyllion like Marlowe's "Hero and Leander" and Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis," a short erotic poem with a mythological subject. The style is Spenserian, the stanzas rhyming ababbccc.

When Brittain's Ida was published in 1628, the publisher ascribed it to Edmund Spenser. However, in 1926 Ethel Seaton discovered and published Fletcher's original manuscript, whose opening stanzas make clear that this is the work of Fletcher, who entitled it "Venus and Anchises."

Les Chansons de Bilitis furent publiées en 1894 : il s'agit d'une collection de poèmes sulfureux et passionnés par une déesse fictive, Bilitis, inventée par le véritable auteur Pierre Louÿs, et dont la vie est retracée dans la préface. Elle aurait vécu sur l'île de Lesbos où elle aurait été rivale de Sappho, puis à Chypre.

"Married Love" is one of the most famous 'sex education' manuals.

This is the 6th, revised and expanded, edition, from 1919. The main text is mostly unchanged. An appendix has been added with some extra information on subjects such as sex during pregnancy.

The framing story concerns a man who dreams of speaking to Venus about love while she wears furs. The unnamed narrator tells his dreams to a friend, Severin, who tells him how to break him of his fascination with cruel women by reading a manuscript, Memoirs of a Supersensual Man.

This manuscript tells of a man, Severin von Kusiemski, so infatuated with a woman, Wanda von Dunajew, that he requests to be treated as her slave, and encourages her to treat him in progressively more degrading ways. At first Wanda does not understand or relate to the request, but after humouring Severin a bit she finds the advantages of the method to be interesting and enthusiastically embraces the i...
