English / French / German PREF. DE MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ Master illustrator and dedicated humanitarian, Alsatian artist Tomi Ungerer has published some 150 books during the past four decades in his quest to open people's minds and abolish bigotry of all kinds.

This new book is a retrospective of his erotic oeuvre, including 200 images covering all aspects of his erotic work and almost 200 previously unpublished drawings. From the very original 'The Joy of Frogs' to his erotic flowers series ('rare' flowers with such names as 'Spermafloris linguifolium' and 'Perivagina superba'), Tomi Ungerer's work stretches the imagination to the maximum and is marked by a very beautiful, original style.
