Title
Yama: The Pit: A Novel of Prostitution,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Alexander Kupin's YAMA is an overwhelming, truthful and staggering indictment of the immemorial evil of prostitution. And since he is the last and greatest of the giants, he treats a razoredge theme without prejudice, without soundingbrassandtinklingcymbal phrases, trasmuting the monstrous, "downright crushing, terrible material" into "simple, find and deathlessly caustic images." No sheepish morality is here, but sheer, stark truth. The titanic Kuprin, with incorruptible pitilessness, yet with unimpeachable sincerity and unsurpassed humanness and compassion, depcits the "everyday, accustomed trifles, these businesslike, daily commercial reckonings, this thousandyearold science of amatory practice, this prosaic usage, determined by the ages... There remains a dry profession, a contrast, an agreement, a wellhigh honest petty trade, no better, no worse than, say, the trade in groceries. All the horror is in just this that there is no horror..." It is not without cause that YAMA has been called "the first and last honest work on the subject of prostitution."There is no more vivid illustration than YAMA of G. H. Lewes' thesis that sincerity is the basis of success in literature. YAMA had sold, by 1929, over two and a half million copies in the original and in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Hungarian, Polish even Japanese and Yiddish to mention by a few of the languages it has been translated into.The book had such significance that the foreword was written by President Arthur Hayes of the United States.
