Imre: A Memorandum on Project Gutenberg

Here it is!.....

Many, many thanks to [personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea and [personal profile] luzula for all your help, support and encouragement. :)

Imre: A Memorandum, privately printed in 1906, is the story of two men—an English gentleman traveller and a Hungarian army officer—who meet in a cafe in a fictionalised Budapest and fall in love. It's a remarkable book! The discussions of Imre and Oswald's backstories and their respective eventual acceptance of their sexuality contain a great deal of detail on contemporary attitudes to and ideas about homosexuality (/similisexualism, Uranianism, etc.); and it's also a very sweet love story, with a decisive happy ending. I recommend it, and I'm especially pleased with having done something to make it more accessible to a wider readership.

Ebook-making is a good thing to do, I think. :)

I think I'll take a break from ebooking for a bit, while I've got two exchanges and the FotH read-along to keep me occupied—then start work on White Cockades maybe in the new year. :)

That sounds reasonable! And White Cockades should be a much easier project...

Oh, this sounds wonderful! Congratulations. :D (Sadly, as I'm from Germany, the site's not working for me.)
