|  | The Arch of Desire by Kristina Cordero, Vicente Munoz Puelles
A delectable novel of a man`s lifelong devotion to erotic exploration, THE ARCH OF DESIRE is based very loosely on the life of the artist Pierre Molinier, admired by the surrealists and creator of a many-layered erotic universe. As the novel opens, Pierre is a boy, raised by a wealthy family of Belgian winemakers. Precociously curious about the opposite sex--particularly the intimate garments he finds drying in the laundry room--he is initiated into the erotic by a family servant and soon moves on to the more forbidden charms of his lovely, sophisticated half sister. As he comes of age--attending art school, becoming an acclaimed painter, and settling in Bordeaux--Pierre simultaneously pursues ever more complex pleasures, devouring his father`s collection of de Sade, Restif de la Bretonne, and other erotic classics, sampling the varieties of women--from a Senegalese prostitute, to a lesbian who works as a dominatrix to rich men, to a beautiful German who becomes his last, most perfect lover--and exploring the limits of his fetishes for dressing up and the adoration of beautiful, feminine feet. A delightful recollection of sexual pleasure from the dawn to the twilight of life, THE ARCH OF DESIRE will satisfy every erotic appetite. AUTHOR: Kristina Cordero, Vicente Munoz Puelles
