… or what to read when you’re feeling a bit scandalous and too utopic. “Where could Paradise be found? In an egalitarian society which has to be built first or in an effort to return to the values of the primitive world?”

Two conceptions on life seen through the looking -glass  of sexuality: Flora Tristan , the gradmother of Paul Gauguin, a 19th century activist for the rights of women and workers , and the French painter, her grandson, who discovers his primitive roots in Tahiti.

If you enjoyed the Lituma series and ”Aunt Julia..” , you are bound

to like this one.

Quote: “Is Paradise here?” “No ,miss, it’s after the corner.”
