GRUPO PLANETA - LIGEROS LIBERTINAJES SABATICOS | POCKET EDITION

Ten ingenious stories full of imagination, desire and humor.

Synopsis of Light Sabbath Debauchery:

Without a doubt, Ligeros is less veiled and, above all, full of desire in the most carnal senses. Luis G. Berlanga described them as erecting - or moistening, as the case may be - and the reader will be able to verify this with juicy stories such as "Pincho moruno" or "Pascualino y los globos"; You will also be able to discover the infinite possibilities that gastronomy offers with "A Surprising Woman" or, finally, perhaps you will end up confirming your usual suspicions about the relationship that united Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes in "Two Unforgettable Partners or the Eroticism of Logic".

• Number of pages: 144
