States of Ecstasy

Meer over het boek

Three fortunate sailors on leave in Japan are the guests of a virile and generous merchant. On offer is the kind of sensual entertainment traditionally enjoyed by the sophisticated palates of the dancing girls and geishas, actresses and musicians, all skilled in the erotic arts and dedicated to just one end—the ultimate satisfaction of their masters... A young and impressionable French maiden, witness to the finest—and lustiest—manifestations of physical passion, now finds herself locked in a loveless marriage. Can there be a worse fate than this for a passionate woman? Surely there must be a way for her to satisfy the longings that now inflame her.
