Alfred de Musset - Gamiani - 1943

Rare numbered edition no. 131 on pure rag vellum and illustrated with 13 erotic etchings in sanguine on this short erotic and clandestine novel generally attributed to Alfred de Musset, although its authenticity has often been debated by critics, and whose distribution long took place under the cloak due to its explicit and transgressive content -

The text centers on the figure of Gamiani, a noblewoman with a fervent temperament and unconventional morals, who recounts to her interlocutors episodes of her life marked by extreme sexual experiences, sensuous excesses and an exploration of the limits of desire -

The narrative unfolds in a nocturnal, hushed atmosphere where confession, memory and imagination mingle to construct a succession of scandalous scenes meant to shock the moral conventions of the 19th century -

Gamiani appears as an ambiguous heroine, at once fascinating and unsettling, who claims total freedom from social, religious and marital norms -
