Georges Charles Segaut, who wrote under the pseudonym Georges Normandy, was a renowned writer, playwright and literary critic.

This work follows the erotic and often violent adventures of the sadistic and violent Joachim de Marsenne. This translation from the French of Poinsot and Normandy was limited to five hundred copies, and intended for private distribution only. Collated complete with twenty black and white plates by 'Mas', and charming decorative headpieces. A very scarce work with no copies found on Copac or WorldCat.
