| Summary | "Anthologica Rarissima: The Way of a Virgin" by L. C. Brovan is a collection of literary excerpts and folklore, focusing on the subject of virginity, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology aims to present previously obscure works that explore erotic themes, accompanied by explanatory notes for students and collectors of literature. It provides insights into various cultural attitudes towards virginity through historical texts, featuring stories involving characters that navigate erotic situations and social expectations related to their virginity. The opening of the anthology sets the stage for a detailed exploration of virginity and its various interpretations across cultures. The preface discusses the significance of virginity not merely as a physical state but as a concept shaped by psychological and cultural narratives. Following this, we encounter the first story, “The Enchanted Ring,” where a peasant youth engages in a series of humorous misadventures related to an enchanted ring that alters the size of his genitalia, leading to both comedic and intimate situations with his wife and mother-in-law. These tales exemplify the anthology's blend of humor and candid discussions about sexuality and societal norms, setting up a provocative examination of virginity throughout the forthcoming volumes.
