123pp. A 17th century play of gross obscenity and mordant cynicism, Sodom seems to have been written about 1671 and was originally circulated in manuscript copies amongst the courtiers and other hangers on surrounding King Charles II in England. Early printed editions evidently existed but only one, dated c. 1725, has survived, discovered in 2005 and auctioned in that year by Sotheby in London. A facsimile reprint limited to 400 numbered copies was published by Antiquariat Ars Amandi, Berlin, shortly after the sale. Until this was unearthed, the earliest existing printed text was one published at Paris in 1904 by H. Welter. It was prepared very poorly for the press by L. S. A. M. von Romer from a faulty manuscript in the Hamburg State Library. The present edition is taken from a rather better version, edited (allegedly) by Robert Nurenberg from a MS in the Bibliothèque National, Paris, and published in 1957 by the Olympia Press at Paris as volume 48 of the Traveller's Companion series.

Mass Market Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 123 pages. "Rochester's Sodom is one of the most enlightened, rowdyish, and trivial plays ever written.But within its skimpy acts and few pages there is crammed more unabashed sexuality than is included in many of the erotic classics (such as Lady Chatterly's Lover and Ulysses) which are over ten times its length. Candid descriptions of masturbation, anal intercourse, sex during menstruation, incest, bestiality, the use of artifical sex organs, and just about anything else you can think of are herein found in abundance." (from the preface by Albert Ellis).

In-16°, legatura in brossura editoriale, pp. 123, con un ritratto dell'autore all'antiporta. -(Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery, fu considerata oscena, a causa del tema della storia, nella quale 'un lussurioso re decide di stabilire la libertà nella nazione, permettendo che la sodomia venga praticata su tutto il territorio'. Questa viene considerata come la 'prima opera teatrale al mondo a sfondo pornografico').
