Предлагаемая читателю книга русского писателя В. И. Бабикова (1841--1873) посвящена исследованию проституции
как социального феномена. Явление проституции рассматривается автором как неизбежное зло в жизни общества,
обусловленное социальной структурой, в частности классовым расслоением. Для всестороннего анализа явления автор
обращается к истории, рассматривая особенности проституции в Античности, в Средневековье и в Новое время.
Характеристика ЭСБЕ: "Это уже чисто порнографический сборник, хотя и выкроенный из серьезных книг Паран дю Шателе,
Поля Лакруа и др., но изданный с прямой целью подействовать на эротические наклонности полуобразованной массы".
Однако уже вскоре после издания книга стала библиографической редкостью.
The book of the Russian writer V. Babikov (1841--1873) proposed to the reader, is devoted to the study of prostitution as a social phenomenon.
The phenomenon of prostitution is considered by the author as an inevitable evil in the life of society, conditioned by social structure,
in particular class stratification. For a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon, the author turns to history, considering the features of
prostitution in Antiquity, in the Middle Ages and in the Modern Times. Characteristics of the ESBE: "This is already a purely pornographic collection,
although it was cut from the serious books of Paran du Chatelet, Paul Lacroix, etc., but published with the direct aim of influencing the erotic inclinations
of the half-educated mass." However, shortly after publication, the book became a bibliographic rarity.
