I absolutely loathed this piece of over-rated mindless claptrap.
I can't believe what the other reviewers have written. Wake up people!

Nights in the Republic of Love
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
To enter the worlds of Anais Nin is to abandon the mundane and the repressed states of conventional existence and to embark on a journey where the only prize is sexual and emotional fulfillment. These carefully polished episodic short stories read like postcards from the edge where the settings are lush Parisian boudoirs fully of silky textures, alluring fragrance and suggestive half light. In these sensual cocoons we meet actors, writers, shopgirls and noblemen all intent on acquiring sensual fulfillment but also importantly in examining the emotional hunger behind that need. Nin writes as only a knowing mature woman can and her creations will stir both men and women as much for her elegant prose as her explicit description. Here we are a million miles from the top shelf paperback and in a world where the accompaniment to the flowering of love should be as evocative as a Ravel ballet. Enjoy...

Uninhibited, poetic and sensual
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
"Delta of Venus" remains a very special work of erotic fiction. There is a glut of erotica on the marketplace these days, much of which far more obviously sexy than "Delta of Venus" - but, more often than not, the reader ends up laughing at the creaky writing and over-the-top sex scenes.

Anais Nin's book is very different. Her prose is perfurmed, intoxicating, rather than blatant, and she allows the realm of emotion to inform her stories. Although this may not sound expecially sexy in these "in your face" days, in fact Nin's work is profoundly erotic and deeply affecting. The writing is as subtle and powerful as a Debussy prelude. A feast for the senses.


Perverse themes
 Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
This book is extremely well written - and probably has considerable literary merit but when it is previewed as exploring sexual themes from the womans perspective I was suprised by the nature of the themes explored - the first few stories covered incest paedophilia and genital mutilation and the book is now in the dustbin. Do yourselves a favour and buy Bettinas tales instead.

a sensual treat
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Do not be put off by the poor film of the same name and loosly based on the this book. If you want a sensual erotic journey I can think of no better place to begin or end..enjoy!
