The Debauched Hospodar


Book Description

In preparing this work, we had to remind ourselves repeatedly that Apollinaire was, after all, a great poet, a founder of cubism, friend to Picasso and so many others. But then there was the scene with the Chinese boy so reminiscent of Naked Lunch... The Debauched Hospodar is the tale of Prince Vibescu, Romanian decadent, who travels 'round with Culculine and Alexine, indulging in many adventures, each more impossible than the last.




The Debauched Hospodar


Book Description

Hospodar is an ancient Rumanian title for the equivalent of a governor or prince. The hero is the wealthy and handsome Prince Vibescu, who migrates from Bucharest to Paris in his pursuit of beautiful women -and finds them in full measure, in fact more than he had bargained for. The outrageous amorous adventures of the Balkan prince, ranging from the brothels of Paris to the bath-houses of the Orient during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, constitute a remarkable and memorable erotic tour de force -obviously written with tongue in cheek, in the style of the "underground novels" so popular in Victorian times.
