Women took over the night, that space where the forbidden always unfolds, adopting ways of being free and without anyone's permission, in a Holy Trinity of sex, drugs, and cuplé, while the \"people of order\" looked on in horror at what was happening in the streets. There was a moralizing country and a very different one, our Suburbia, the secret Nation of Molicie, that other place joyfully and devotedly abandoned to vice and pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur \"immoral storm\" was unstoppable. Hundreds of books and magazines were published, some clandestine, which became part of \"infernal libraries,\" those secret books considered indecent or outright banned from libraries, both public and private, sometimes pamphlets and poorly edited, sold for a pittance and against which anti-pornography police brigades were created. The most mysterious and, for many, infamous of those authors was Ángel Martín de Lucenay, a fake sexologist unlike any other whose skill was selling erotica, sometimes extreme and hilarious, under the guise of medical, hygienic, and sexual education. His books, full of girls injecting themselves or smoking opium, chronicles of strange cults, and a flood of real photographs from our underworlds, were exactly that: Spanish pulp. Cheap, accessible to all. Pure exploitation. In just four years (1932-1936), that absolute king of the sordidness of sex, night, and the underworld flooded the market with nearly a hundred books that included wild sex, sadomasochism, or bestiality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuburbia. The great illustrated book of eroticism, the forbidden, and molicie in Spain, edited by the writer Servando Rocha, is a spectacular illustrated journey through our darkest and \"depraved\" worlds, from the fin-de-siècle sicalipsis to the brutality of the transition, when newsstands were filled with girls wearing swastikas and black leather.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Felguera Editores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57200780738904,"sku":"9788412693614","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788412693614.jpg?v=1777403846","url":"https:\/\/www.plasticbooks.uk\/en\/products\/suburbia-el-libro-ilustrado-del-erotismo-lo-prohibido-y-la-molicie-en-espana-80-memorias-del-subsuelo","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
