GAMIANI: Two Passionate Nights

Gamiani, Two Nights of Passion, published anonymously in 1833 and attributed to

Alfred de Musset, is an erotic novel that, beneath the veil of sensuality, explores the extremes of human desire and the complexities of sexual nature. This short but intense work has been controversial since its publication, challenging the moral norms of its time and remaining one of the most emblematic works of libertine literature.

The narrative follows Countess Gamiani, a woman of insatiable desires, and her adventures with Fanny, an innocent young woman, and a male narrator who also participates in the encounters. Over the course of two nights of unrestrained passion, the characters indulge in their deepest desires in a tale that blurs the lines between pleasure and excess, innocence and perversion.
