Porneia means fornication, unchastity, desire for another's body. Drawing on Roman and Greek works of science, medicine, gynecology, and law and on Christian and pagan religious texts, Aline Rouselle discovers the intimate fears, passions, superstitions, and ambitions of the people of the Mediterranean world during the first four centuries AD. The first part of the book describes Roman notions of male and female sexuality; attitudes to fertility, inheritance, child care, and training; legal restraints on sexual behavior; concubinage and divorce; and the extraordinary rituals of orgy, castration and sacrifice associated with ancient rites of fertility and spirituality. Yet the sexual problems of antiquity will be seen in many respects to be almost exactly those of the contemporary West--from fear of impotence to the concern of parents about teenage misbehavior. The second part of the work is concerned with the impact of Christian ideas upon a settled pagan tradition. Abstinence, once associated with the enhancement of fertility, becomes the key to salvation. The first monastic regimes, and the means by which men and women curtailed and overcame their desire for one another, are described in detail. Centuries of concern with fertility became, in this revolutionary period, an obsession with chastity in this world and a secure place in the next. This is a tour de force of scholarship and historical anthropology. The author's argument may be controversial, but few can fail to be fascinated by the evidence she marshals to support it.

"The Romance of Lust - A Classic Victorian Erotic Novel" is an 1873 erotic novel of anonymous authorship. It follows the exploits of Charlie, a virile and well-endowed young man with an apparently boundless appetite for sex. He chronicles his various sexual encounters involving his sisters Eliza and Mary, his governesses, and other various male and female friends. The narrative is saturated with taboo subjects, and it almost seems that none are omitted: orgies, masturbation, lesbianism, flagellation, fellatio, cunnilingus, gay sex, anal sex, and double penetration all appear at some point. An unparalleled and a wholly satisfying reading experience, "The Romance of Lust" is a classic Victorian erotic novel not to be missed by fans and collectors of the genre. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of erotic literature.

CEMETERY GIRL: THE PRETENDERS Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels and the Harper Connelly Mysteries, and New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden present an original graphic novel illustrated by acclaimed comic book artist Don Kramer—first in a brand-new trilogy. She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill—names taken from the grim surroundings where she awoke, bruised and bloody, with no memory of who she is, how she got there, or who left her for dead. She has made the cemetery her home, living in a crypt and avoiding human contact. But Calexa can’t hide from the dead—and because she can see spirits, they can’t hide from her. Then one night, Calexa spies a group of teenagers vandalizing a grave—and watches in horror as they commit murder. As the victim’s spirit rises from her body, it flows into Calexa, overwhelming her mind with visions and memories not her own. Now Calexa must make a decision: continue to hide to protect herself—or come forward to bring justice to the sad spirit who has reached out to her for help...

Welcome to São Paulo, Brazil, in the not too distant future. Water is scarce, garbage clogs the city, movement is restricted, and the System—sinister, omnipotent, secret—rules its subjects' every moment and thought. Here, middle-aged Souza lives a meaningless life in a world where the future is doomed and all memory of the past is forbidden. A classic novel of "dystopia," looking back to Orwell's 1984 and forward to Terry Gilliam's Brazil, And Still the Earth stands with Loyola Brandão's Zero as one of the author's greatest, and darkest, achievements.

A spellbinding novel of suspense from New York Times bestselling author James Grippando, in which Miami’s top prosecutor becomes a prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, which may have a chilling connection to the woman he can’t forget. Unbelievable was the word for her. Samantha Vine was unbelievably beautiful. It was unbelievable that she’d married me. Even more unbelievable that she was gone . . . Samantha died too soon. Abe Beckham’s new wife has helped him through the loss, but some say it was a step back to marry Angelina, a love from Abe’s past. Abe doesn’t want to hear it, and through the ups and downs, he’s even managed to remain a star prosecutor at the Miami State Attorney’s Office. Then everything goes wrong. A woman’s body is discovered dumped in the Everglades, and Abe is called upon to monitor the investigation. The FBI is tracking a killer in South Florida they call “Cutter” because his brutal methods harken back to Florida’s dark past, when machete-wielding men cut sugarcane by hand in the blazing sun. But when the feds discover that Abe had a brief encounter with the victim after Samantha’s death, and when Angelina goes missing, the respected attorney finds himself under fire. Suspicion surrounds him. His closest friends, family, professional colleagues, and the media no longer trust his motives. Was Angelina right? Was their marriage not what they’d hoped for because he loved Samantha too much? Or was there another woman . . . and a husband with a dark side who simply wanted his new wife gone?

Euclides da Cunha's classic account of the brutal campaigns against religious mystic Antonio Conselheiro has been called the Bible of Brazilian nationality. "Euclides da Cunha went on the campaigns [against Conselheiro] as a journalist and what he returned with and published in 1902 is still unsurpassed in Latin American literature. Cunha is a talent as grand, spacious, entangled with knowledge, curiosity, and bafflement as the country itself. . . . On every page there is a heart of idea, speculation, dramatic observation that tells of a creative mission undertaken, the identity of the nation, and also the creation of a pure and eloquent prose style."—Elizabeth Hardwick, Bartleby in Manhattan

Icarus written by Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa and has been published by BibliotecaOnline SL this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-09-17 with Fiction categories.

A story packed with action and adventure, yet mercifully free of car chases, angry policemen, murderous mercenaries and gun fights - indeed no gun or knife is drawn in anger from one end of the book to the other. Trust Spain’s top-selling novelist, Vázquez-Figueroa, to pull this off now that he is at the peak of his powers. For this epic, he has chosen the life and times of Jimmie Angel, an American pioneer airman who lived through the early days of aviation with passionate intensity as an intrepid pilot, becoming involved in just about every impossible venture on offer in those heady days in the first half of the twentieth century - distant wars, stunts for air shows and films, missions for oil companies, pioneering aviation in China - and crowning his achievements with the discovery of the highest waterfall in the world: Angel Falls in the Venezuelan jungle. The story centers on his adventures as a hired pilot in the Guiana Highlands - the most mysterious comer of the Americas, lying between Venezuela and Brazil. This extraordinary setting features the striking, age-old tabular mountains called tepuis - flat-topped massifs that tower oddly above assorted stretches of jungle and plain, in a remote region that was entirely unknown then, and that remains largely unknown even today. At the top of a particularly imposing tepui, a Scottish gold-seeker, John McCraken, had found gold and diamonds aplenty after spending most of his life wandering in the jungles of South America. Wishing to return there as an old man, and no longer able for long treks through such remote territory, he employs the services of a pilot reputed to be the most daring of them all, Jimmie Angel, the idea being to fly straight to “his” tepui and land on it - at a time when airdromes were few and far between, and when obtaining fuel supplies was always a problem. The adventures of McCraken and Angel as they strike out into the unknown form a gripping story, with vivid portraits of astonishing landscapes and colorful individuals and peoples, and cameo recollections of adventures with such figures as Lawrence of Arabia and Howard Hughes. As we have come to expect from this author, in the end the small group of central characters emerge as the essential substance of the work: powerfully drawn, they grow in themselves and in our minds as they face up to each new day and the unknown trials it inevitably brings. A story well told, characters well drawn, and a spectacular setting vividly captured. Yet Vázquez-Figueroa does not stop there: he also manages to convey the excitement of a virgin world where nothing can be taken for granted, where success or failure depend solely on the human qualities of the protagonists, and where everything still remains to be conquered with whatever help the new-born technology of the time can contribute.
