De tv-film vond ik zo goed dat ik het boek een kans wou geven. Helaas viel dit enorm tegen. Had grotendeels te maken met de ouderwetse schrijfstijl. Ook is Fanny zo'n naïef wicht dat ik me eraan ergerde.

Another book that I had to read for my Rise of the Novel class. Pre.recs. - Pamela and Joseph Andrews. After the first couple sex passages, it gets boring. And it gets farther and farther away from a realistic woman's mind. At first I though well this guy can write from a female perspective. And then let the penis worship begin. The more and more sex is described the more and more it becomes a glorification of male dominance. After all never once is she physically on top. The best part about the book for sure is the language Cleland uses to speak of these sexual encounters. Many a time I had to re-read passages cause I didn't know what was going where. The best reason to read this book, I believe, is simply to read a novel that although published in the 18th century wasn't legal until the 1960's ad 1970's. Oh and another note. Lady Chatterley's Lover (D.H Lawrence) was embarrassing, whereas Fanny Hill was so ridiculous that it was remotely enjoyable. If that at all makes sense.
This novel gets a bum rap, no pun intended. The 'sensuality' of the book is strong, but the story is so rich! John Cleland's writing is as good as any from the same era. Probably better than some of the more famous writers of the day. Don't shy away from this one out of embarrassment!
Orpo maalaistyttö Fanny Hill ajautuu prostituoiduksi ja kiipeää 1700-luvun himokkaan Lontoon sosiaalisissa piireissä. Fanny joutuu ottamaan elonsa turvaksi rakastajan toisensa jälkeen ja tutustuu maailman vanhimpaan ammattiin.
Jotkut kirjat vain ovat klassikkoja.
John Cleland: Fanny Hill
Tämä on niitä kirjoja joita luen aika ajoin, tuhmuus kirjassa ei ole mitään poikkeuksellista mutta tapojen kuvaus on mielenkiintoista..
Olen monesti miettinyt niitä jotka ovat lukeneet kirjan sen ollessa uutuus..
