Escrito por John Cleland

Narrado por ®bseal voice

Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Escrita por el novelista John Cleland , la novela fue prohibida a las dos semanas de su publicación y circuló de forma clandestina hasta que se permitió su edición. Considerada como la primera prosa pornográfica inglesa y la primera pornografía que usa la forma de novela, es uno de los libros más perseguidos y censurados de la historia. La novela consta de dos cartas largas (que aparecen como los volúmenes I y II de la edición original) escritas por Frances “Fanny Hill”, a un conocido anónimo identificado solo como “Señora”. Fanny ha sido convencida para que relate las “etapas escandalosas” de su vida anterior. Cuenta su historia; una campesina de quince años que, tras la muerte de sus padres, viaja a Londres, donde es acogida en un burdel. Desde ese momento, su vida como pupila en distintos burdeles y como amante de varios hombres le permite mejorar su estatus social, disfrutar al máximo del placer y conocer el amor romántico.

“Me parecía que ningún precio era excesivo para pagar por este delicioso bocado de los sentidos, de modo que, rota, rasgada, sangrante, destrozada, seguía maravillosamente complacida” John Cleland 1709-1789

John Cleland

John Cleland (1709-1789) was an English novelist. Born in Surrey, he was raised in London. His father William Cleland was a military officer and civil servant who, along with his wife Lucy, was a friend of such literary and political figures as Alexander Pope, Viscount Bolingbroke, and Horace Walpole. Cleland attended Westminster School for several years before being expelled for unknown reasons. He joined the British East India Company, traveling to Bombay in 1728 where he worked as a civil servant and lived until 1740. Upon his return to London, he was shunned by his family, and attempted to kickstart the Portuguese East India Company before being arrested for a significant unpaid debt. In Fleet Prison, Cleland wrote Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, an early pornographic novel which was published in two parts and 1748 and 1749, earning him a second arrest upon his release. Despite being barred from legal publication for over one hundred years, illegal and heavily edited copies of the book sold well during Cleland’s lifetime, earning him plenty of infamy without enabling him to profit off his work. Cleland continued to write and publish comedic and satirical works throughout his life, and is remembered today as a controversial figure whose work pushed the boundaries of taste, decency, and legality in a time of extreme conservatism.
