Luxury, obscenity, impurity…… that is the way former priests called what we nowadays call erotism or sexual appetite.
We have included more than one hundred texts in this anthology, somehow, those ones which can be described as luxurious. There is such a difference between The wives favour, by Etxepare and The three small whores, by Miranda poems.
We cannot forget all those ones who worked with vehemence against luxury, such as Axular or Frai Bartolomé, although their writings have been deteriorating little by little as if they were made from bread.Songs, verses, proverbs…….there are from all kinds, but perhaps the reader surprises most with the nowadays proses, especially with the magazine chapters.
For example, did you know that two erotic pornographic magazines are published in the Basque Country nowadays? One is Zuku Festa heteroa and the other one is Xut homoa.
