In the second novel in the present volume, \u003cem\u003eThe King of Siam's Amazon\u003c\/em\u003e (1902), which might have been partly inspired by Octave Mirbeau's \u003cem\u003eTorture Garden\u003c\/em\u003e, we are confronted with La Vaud re's most extreme and nightmarish tale, which, in its deployment of atrocious imagery, makes Mirbeau's novel look tame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two novels contained herein display the idea of extreme amour in two different, but equally striking, ways; although remarkable individually, they are even more remarkable in juxtaposition, especially as the author seems to have moved from the composition of one to the composition of the other almost without psychological transition. Both remain fascinating, although the one that the author and her contemporary readers presumably regarded as the more shocking of the two, \u003cem\u003eThe King of Siam's Amazon\u003c\/em\u003e, is likely to seem less disturbing today than its companion, given the manner in which moral sensitivities have shifted in the interim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane De La Vaudere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645250180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645250180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snuggly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Jane De La Vaudere","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941023219967,"sku":"9781645250180","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bf5c685e-bb22-4a7e-84d9-3dffe5823426.jpg?v=1681450473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-flowers-and-the-king-jane-de-la-vaudere-9781645250180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
