«Fanny Hill» is the erotic novel by John Cleland, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Written as a series of letters, Fanny Hill narrates in the first person the life of a young peasant girl who, after being orphaned, moves to London and ends up in a brothel. Between irony and misadventures, her memoirs trace the discovery of sexuality and culminate in romantic love, in a work considered a precursor of the erotic novel.
Originally published in 1748 as «Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure», Fanny Hill appears in this 2006 Spanish edition within the Clásicos de la Literatura Universal collection (volume 119).
For readers of classic and erotic literature who want to discover a historic work of the genre, famous for its censorship and its subsequent influence.
John Cleland was an English novelist best known for his fictional Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, whose eroticism led to his arrest. James Boswell called him "a sly, old malcontent".
