Sex sells, regardless of era. |
Title: Messalina
Novels are fairly uncommon offerings from the Biblio-Mat and
novels with a nude woman holding a sword is even rarer. Written by Jack Oleck and
published in 1959, the 307 acid-washed pages have faded into a burnt yellow,
making it look much older than its age.
Which 5 letter word? |
The book itself is pretty tame, having no illustrations or
fancy script work. However, the end flaps are actually pretty amusing.
And it gets very uncomfortable... |
It also seems to romanticize and re-imagine life during
Imperial Rome, which doesn’t sound too appealing, until you bring Caligula into
play.
I have a feeling this won't end well. |
Might be worth reading just to see how Oleck unravels the
ruling class.
