THE BOOK OF THE HOUR.

THE LUSCIOUS LIFE,

BY ALEXANDER TRIPE

(Author of "The 'Ammy Knife").

_The Novel which was banned in Dahomey!_

"Verax," in _The Daily Lyre_, says, "This is

a colossally cerebral book. By the side of

Tripe, Balzac is a bungling beginner and Zola

a finicking dilettante."

_The Manxman_ says: "A wonderful panorama

of the life of a decadent Abyssinian Prince;

with full details of his wardrobe, his taste in

liqueurs, his emotions and dissipations....

Simply must be read by anyone who wishes

to be 'in it.' It is a liberal education in the

luscious."

Mr. John Pougher writes in _Saturn_:--

"Tripe is the most nourishing author I know.

To adapt Dickens's famous phrase, there is a

juiciness in his work which would enchant a

scavenger."
