Anais Nin can get you off with some beautifully written words--but always it's important to remember that the main point of her volumes here was not to titilate, but to illustrate how sex becomes obsession and illusion. Good stuff, but be warned: There are stories here about things you never thought of doing and about the consequences of doing them. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0156029030, Paperback)

In Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin penned a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Delta of Venus is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing.
