Kryptadia Stories – Part one
In this lecture series Lena will tell the once so controversial stories from the secret journal known as “Kryptadia” published and distributed in Europe in the 1800’s. The Kryptadia journals consist of legends, myths, stories and legends that were considered too daring to be published and made accessible on the open marked to the general public. Most of the tales in Kryptadia are of the more erotic kind, and there are stories that dates way back to the early medieval times and that were written down in secret because they were considered too explicit and sinful in their content to be published by respectable publishing agencies. The stories we will get to know in this lecture series come from all over Europe and some have roots from both the African and Asian continent as well. They were secretly published and long forgotten about until tonight when we bring them back into the light that they deserve.
This lecture is the first one of 3.
Warm welcome.
