Description
The City of Pleasure: Paris Between the Wars After the devastation of World War I, France sought to shake off the austerity and moral restraints of the past. The result was a decade of unbridled excess, marked by a lust for extravagance, partying, and erotic experimentation. In this era, known as the Roaring Twenties, Paris became a city of unapologetic desire, where the boundaries of sex and morality were pushed to their limits. This book is a candid and fascinating photographic record of Paris's eye-opening erotic life during this period. Historian Alexandre Dupouy pulls back the curtains on the city's fetish scene, licensed brothels, gay nightclubs, and the first sex shop chains. The result is a titillating and utterly captivating look at the sexual excesses of the inter-war period in one of the world's most decadent cities. With its uncensored and unflinching gaze, this book offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era of unapologetic desire and liberation.
