NEW Revised Edition By Publisher.. 317 pages. 3/1953; *** ENGLISH LANGUAGE Edition (Translated from the Original 1948 French edition) " She was a wild, untamed creature, entirely at home dancing NAKED for her tribe, or picking the pocket of some unsuspecting soldier. It was written in the stars, the Paprika, the Gypsy Queen, would love only one man, and that man she would torture. Men fought to the death to make her their bride, yet she would have none of them. Everywhere Paprika went she caused laughter and love, death and bloodshed. For Paprika was so beautiful that all men wanted to love her, and all women wanted to kill her. Her story reveals the unbelievably cruel world in which the Gypsies lived. Theirs was a crude life full of hardship, poverty and filth. Yet through it all, they played their sad, tormented music, or drank the whole right long to the sound of women's laughter and the tattoo of dancing feet. A man could have many wives. He could kill, steal, and RAPE. And Paprika, the Blonde Gypsy, ruled them all with her beauty and her intense passion." ** The revealing story of a GYPSY camp, with its wild ORGIES, cruel laws and bloody Duels. ** RARE Title; One of the most popular Esoteric titles in the entire Harlequin Books series. *** 2nd Printing by Publisher (Previous edition was #150 with GGA Photo cover); NEW Revised Edition By Publisher, with FIRST appearance of the new GGA Painted Cover, includes Man in Bondage being WHIPPED. *** Previous owner name in pencil top of front endpage, minor creasing on spine.
