To rouse the women . . .Professor Pounce arrives in the idyllic village of Gillenham, along with his sister-in-law, his nephew Nicholas, and Carmen, his voluptuous assistant, in single-minded pursuit of the Stone of Chastity, a stepping stone in the local stream reputed to trip up impure women.

Ultimately, it's young Nicholas who must try to assuage the villagers' outrage, all the while coping with the repercussions of his own amorous impulses.The Stone of Chastity, first published in 1940 and inexplicably out of print for decades, is perhaps the deftest (and daftest) of Margery Sharp's many dazzling, witty social comedies.'Miss Margery Sharp's witticisms lift the otherwise flat and unprofitable life of the village of Gillenham to the level of a bubbling champagne-glass full of laughter' New York Times.…

Condición: Very Good. : El profesor Pounce llega al idílico pueblo de Gillenham con un objetivo científico singular: encontrar la Piedra de la Castidad, un peldaño en un arroyo local que, según la leyenda, hace tropezar a las mujeres impuras. Sus investigaciones, que incluyen poner a prueba a las mujeres del pueblo y documentar los resultados, provocan la indignación de los habitantes, desde la esposa del vicario hasta la severa señora Pye, quien posee el alma de una inquisidora.Publicada originalmente en 1940, esta obra es una de las comedias sociales más ingeniosas de Margery Sharp. A través de una narrativa vibrante y llena de humor, la autora retrata el caos rural y las repercusiones de los impulsos amorosos en una comunidad que se resiste a los fríos experimentos del profesor.
