The Elegant Venus
После Эрла Стенли Гарднера продолжаю наверстывать и другое упущенное. Вот, например, кто догадается, из какого автора цитата, ну или хотя бы, какой персонаж жопой любуется:

It was a naked girl, with her back to him. She was not quite naked. She wore a broad leather belt around her waist with a hunting knife in a leather sheath at her right hip. The belt made her nakedness extraordinarily erotic. She stood not more than five yards away on the tideline looking down at something in her hand. She stood in the classical relaxed pose of the nude, all the weight on the right leg an the things in her hand.
It was a beautiful back. The skin was a very light uniform cafe au lait with the sheen of dull satin. The gentle curve of the backbone was deeply indented, suggesting more powerful muscles than is usual in a woman, and the behind was almost as firm and rounded as a boy's.The legs were straight and beautiful and no pinkness showed under the slightly lifted left heel. She was not a coloured girl.
...
The whole scene, the empty beach, the green and blue sea, the naked girl with the strands of fair hair, reminded of something. He searched his mind. Yes, she was Botichelli's Venus, seen from behind.
