Ten ingenious stories full of imagination, desire and humor.
Synopsis of Debauchery Light Sabbath:
Without a doubt, Ligeros is less veiled and, above all, full of desire in the most carnal senses. Luis G. Berlanga described them as erecting—or moistening, as the case may be—and the reader will be able to verify this with juicy stories like "Pincho Moruno" or "Pascualino y los globos"; you can also discover the infinite possibilities that gastronomy offers with "A Surprising Woman" or, finally, perhaps end up confirming your usual suspicions about the relationship that united Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes in "Two Unforgettable Partners or the Eroticism of Logic."
