Les Onze Mille Verges: Ou Les Amours D'un Hospodar, Paperback Book, By: Guillaume Apollinaire

Having heard that in the land of France, the young ladies have thin thighs and swaying backs, Mony Vibescu, hereditary Romanian hospodar, sets out on a journey which will lead him to Paris. In order not to sacrifice anything to the boredom of the traveler, the prince tries his hand at the multiple licentious combinations suggested by his so many unexpected and delicious encounters. Beyond the subversive tale, the buffoonish delirium, the work scandalous, we read in filigree the history of an era, the decay of empires, murderous fanaticisms.
