| THE SOTADIC ZONE Sir Richard Burton |
|
| 1933 First Appearance of this, the terminal essay of Burton's multi-volume ARABIAN NIGHTS, which posits a geographical origin to homosexuality(!) This edition in hand-made stiff wrappers was originally claimed to be a limited edition of 2100 copies, however, this one belies the fact that there were any number printed, as this bears a limited edition statement without any number inscribed upon the blank intended to reflect its number. 107 pp. with an brief closing essay by John Addington Symonds. |
|
| Fascinating early erotica -- scholarship from Sir Richard Burton, who explored the earth's lands and peoples as a lover might explore the body and soul of his beloved. Here, Burton recounts a geographical region ("The Sotadic Zone") which has engendered tendencies towards homosexual behavior. |
|
| FINE MINUS Smooth flat HAND-MADE PAPER WRAPPERS with bending and minor chipping to their purposefully ragged edges. Small chips to head and foot of spine Book interior itself is very nice, leaves clean, no foxing. A very nice copy of this hard-to-find book. |
