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. This edition of The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr is a classic of American erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Over de auteur
The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr (1861) is an erotic narrative of the sexual life of Aaron Burr, a leading figure in the early days of American democracy. After a distinguished career in the Continental Army, he became a lawyer and politician in New York City. From 1791 to 1797, he served as a United States Senator from the state of New York before running for president against Thomas Jefferson. When the 1800 presidential race ended in an electoral college tie, Burr was appointed Jefferson’s vice president. In 1804, while serving the last year of his term, Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, virtually ending his own career in politics. Over the next several decades, he traveled the frontier, avoided imprisonment on charges of treason, made more enemies than he ever had friends, and gained a reputation for womanizing and faithlessness. Published anonymously, The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr is an erotic biography purporting to reveal in graphic detail the sexual exploits of one of America’s most infamous political leaders.Meer e-boeken van dezelfde auteur (s) / Editor
