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." 2/- _net or three copies for_ 5/- _and four_ (_with 1 lb. of sugar_) _for_ 6/- * * * * * GENERAL LITERATURE. |
