A tantalizing read, The Literary Companion to Sex leads you on a tour through the sexual pages of some of the most distinguished books ever written. The author has selected excerpts from a diverse group of book – from the Bible, Rabelais and Defoe to Arabian Nights, Chinese Novels, Milton and Crabbe – reflecting the sexual atmospheres of their eras. The best of erotic writing is chosen for its realism, humour or sheer oddity, and there is no censorship here!
