THE LUSCIOUS LIFE,
BY ALEXANDER TRIPE
(Author of "The 'Ammy Knife").
_The Novel which was banned in Dahomey!_

"Verax," in _The Daily Lyre_, says, "This is
a colossally cerebral book. By the side of
Tripe, Balzac is a bungling beginner and Zola
a finicking dilettante."

_The Manxman_ says: "A wonderful panorama
of the life of a decadent Abyssinian Prince;
with full details of his wardrobe, his taste in
liqueurs, his emotions and dissipations....
Simply must be read by anyone who wishes
to be 'in it.' It is a liberal education in the
luscious."

Mr. John Pougher writes in _Saturn_:--
"Tripe is the most nourishing author I know.
To adapt Dickens's famous phrase, there is a
juiciness in his work which would enchant a
scavenger."
