Customer Reviews

very interesting book

This book contains many interesting researches about male/male love & sex in the days of Renaissance et Enlightment. From Italia, Iberia , and France, Germania, Scandinavia, to the Netherlands and England , but not Russia and the Eastern Europe at all.I recommend the book for everybody to read.Next time I prefer to read a book written by one author like M. J. Rocke's " Forbidden Friendships ".
