Fantasio est une comedie en deux actes d'Alfred de Musset publiee en 1834 mais creee seulement en 1866 apres la mort de l'auteur. Fantasio est cynique, blase, revolte et il s'ennuie, malgre sa jeunesse. Dans cette Allemagne mi-bourgeoise, mi-feodale et romantique, Fantasio cherche, au plus profond de lui, une grande pensee, une grande action a accomplir. Celle-ci se presente a lui le jour ou l'on prepare le mariage - force - de la princesse Elsbeth avec un fat et ridicule prince de Mantoue..."

Aber ach ich tauschte mich. Fannis...

Between bouts and ruts the trio will share their most licentious tales, stories of exploitative convents, orgy-fuelled monasteries, and backstreet bordellos. From huge group-menages to milk-filled godemiches, unrestrained ravishments to slow seductions, nothing is left to imagination in this raucous...
