In his world of hallucination and twisted eroticism, Mallare needs a woman to worship him as a god; aided by Goliath, his deformed dwarf servant he entices a submissive gypsy girl whom he strives to enthrall in chains of horror and ecstasy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 1922, FANTAZIUSe  MALLARE is the second novel by famous American playwright and screenwriter Ben Hecht. The book was suppressed as obscene by the Federal Government on its initial publication, and artist Wallace Smith sent to jail. It is now published in an uncensored edition which includes all 10 original decadent\/erotic illustrations by Smith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOUNTe  FANNY'Se  NUPTIALS, first published clandestinely in London in 1907, remains one of the most rare and elusive of all decadent texts. Its author \"Simon Arrow\" is sometimes identified as Ronald Firbank, although it seems more likely that the publisher, G. Hope Johnstone, also created it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis joint edition of FANTAZIUSe  MALLARE and COUNTe  FANNY'Se  NUPTIALS constitutes a volume of rare and unadulterated erotic decadence which stands as the final flourish of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Hecht, Simon Arrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1902588940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781902588940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wet Angel Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Ben Hecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939103965439,"sku":"9781902588940","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5ae3b98f-5940-45e8-b488-4a8193525fc6.jpg?v=1681439520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fantazius-mallarecount-fannys-nuptials-ben-hecht-9781902588940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
