The Lustful Turk Anonymous

"Every stretch of voluptuous imagination is here fully depicted, rogering, ramming, one unbounded scene of lust, lechery, and licentiousness." - William Dugdale (1865)



Intent on a life far removed from the stolidity of her previous one, Emily Barlow sets sail for shores a new. Before she knows it, her vessel is set upon by Barbary pirates and, betrayed by her Captain, she is taken as a trophy by Ali, the Dey of Algiers. Fearful at first and woeful of her plight, the Dey soon uses all his salacious will and seductive power to awaken within Emily a passion and sexual energy that she had never known existed.



Together with her, also captured, maid, our heroine loses herself in orgiastic abandon to freely serve the libidinous will of her captor, using all manner of methods and devices, up to the novel's poignant and unforgettable conclusion.

Written anonymously in 1828, this per-Victorian work of erotica, which in part inspired the Orientalist movement in art and literature, will sure to shock and entertain audiences near two centuries after it was originally written.
