THE BOOK OF THE HOUR.
THE LUSCIOUS LIFE,
BY ALEXANDER TRIPE
(Author of "The 'Ammy Knife").
The Novel which was banned in Dahomey!
"Verax," in The Daily Lyre, says, "This is a colossally cerebral book. By the side of Tripe, Balzac is a bungling beginner and Zola a finicking dilettante."
The Manxman says: "A wonderful panorama of the life of a decadent Abyssinian Prince; with full details of his wardrobe, his taste in liqueurs, his emotions and dissipations.... Simply must be read by anyone who wishes to be 'in it.' It is a liberal education in the luscious."
Mr. John Pougher writes in Saturn:—"Tripe is the most nourishing author I know. To adapt Dickens's famous phrase, there is a juiciness in his work which would enchant a scavenger."
