GRUPO PLANETA - LIGHT SABBATH LICENTIATENESS | POCKET EDITION

Ten clever stories full of imagination, desire and humour.

Synopsis of Slight Sabbath Debauchery:

Without a doubt, Light Sabbath Libertines meets all the requirements that can satisfy both the most refined erotomaniac and the reader who is just beginning to enter the field of erotic literature… Here is a series of stories brimming with imagination, full of more or less veiled suggestions and, above all, full of desire in the most carnal of senses. Luis G. Berlanga has described them as erectile —or moistening, as the case may be—, and the reader will be able to verify this with such succulent stories as “Pincho moruno” or “Pascualino y los globos”; he will also be able to discover the infinite possibilities offered by gastronomy with “Una mujer sorpresa” or, finally, perhaps he will end up corroborating his long-standing suspicions about the relationship that united Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes in “Dos socios olvides o el eroticismo de la comunicación”.
