GRUPO PLANETA - LIGEROS LIBERTINAJES SABATICOS | POCKET EDITION

Ten ingenious stories full of imagination, lust, and humor.

Summary of Light Sabbath Debaucheries:

Without the slightest doubt, Ligeros is less veiled and, above all, full of desire in the most carnal sense. Luis G. Berlanga has described it as arousing—or rather, moistening—and the reader will be able to confirm this with such juicy stories as "Pincho moruno" or "Pascualino y los globos." Discover with "A Surprising Woman" the endless possibilities that gastronomy offers, or, in short, confirm your usual assumptions about the relationship that united Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes in "Two Unforgettable Partners"—the eroticism of logic.
