The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr - Anonymous - Bog

The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr (1861) is an erotic biography of Aaron Burr. Published anonymously decades after Burr's death, the book incorporates some of the well-known facts and scandals of his political life-including his arrest for treason and murder of Alexander Hamilton-with lurid fantasies of his legendary encounters with women. Comparable, perhaps, to the modern phenomenon of fan fiction, The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr is a risqué recreation of an infamous American's romantic endeavors. "This talented, heroic, and energetic man was an adorer of the fair sex. From the age of puberty to the day of his death, (which occurred in his eightieth year,) Aaron Burr was keenly alive to the fascinations of the fairer portion of creation, and esteemed their smiles as sunny rays darted from heaven." You might think you know everything there is to know about Aaron Burr-disgraced several times over, banished from political life following his very public downfall, his story is a cautionary tale of excess and ambition played out on the nation's biggest stage. For the anonymous author of The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr, the facts-both historical and anecdotal-were simply not enough. In this erotic examination of Burr's legendary love life, we find another angle on a man who would be myth, a man shown here to be somehow less principled, and frequently less clothed, than the one we thought we knew. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr is a classic of American erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.
