Memoirs of a Russian Ballet Girl E D

Welcome to the wonderful world of ballet! Sensual, beautiful ballerinas. Long legs. Hair in buns. Tutus. Pointe shoes. Steamy sex orgies and bare buttocks ready to be spanked and whipped. Beware! This is not your run-of-the-mill ballet novel! First published in 1892, this highly pornographic BDSM novel tells the story of young Mariska's journey from being a poor servant girl to a celebrated ballerina. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian and Edwardian England had its own adult entertainment industry - countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers - in more ways than one. "Memoirs of a Russian Ballet Girl" was written by the pseudonym E. D. The letters stand for either Edmond Dumoulin or Emile Desjardins, who may have been the same person. The scandalous, shocking book was published by the infamous English pornographer Charles Carrington, who also translated the novel from the French.
