When a deceased artist, with an estate of almost incalculable worth, means heirs at war, who will heal the rifts? There will be advisors aplenty, but can they bring peace to the warring factions? The estate of renowned artist, Gustave Post, is in the hands of the Collarii Foundation, which administers it to protect his life’s work. The heirs are fractious and unreliable. When an important but unknown Post appears for sale, it is suspected that one is trying to sell it anonymously, in contravention of their obligations to the foundation. The foundation asks Corey Templeton, the expert in Post’s work, to undertake a clandestine investigation to identify the owner. Templeton uses his assistant, Waverley Smith, to get close to more bloody-minded heirs. Shiningly attractive, she is both a boon and a liability. Templeton soon finds himself entangled in her unscrupulous methods. As the investigation proceeds and the secrets of the past are uncovered, damaging discoveries are made about the actions of Post nearly four decades before. A tale that affirms the myth of the demonic artist genius is any biographer’s dream, not least Post’s! Can the foundation keep control of Post’s reputation, and maintain his blue-chip status? And can Templeton keep his equilibrium as, on all sides, emotions run high?

Throughout history, no question has been pondered so profoundly as that of 'the meaning of life'. Yet, for one to presume to intuitively understand the answer has long been considered nothing short of arrogant; for surely such vital awareness is beyond the grasp of mere humans, belonging instead to some superior religious realm that must govern us from above. The Art of Eros frontally challenges this obstacle to true understanding, and points to the meaning of life as grounded within the human mind - a material mind with a genetically inherited foundation shared by mankind. The Art of Eros reveals how authoritarian social conditioning has historically served to block a natural appreciation of the meaning of life. The result has been millennia of unremitting conflict amongst mankind; for it is precisely a world structured upon pain, rather than pleasure, that facilitates authoritarian accumulation of power. Such were the cultural requirements which gave rise to the modern monotheist religions that attribute spiritual merit to suffering and violence, whilst vilifying sexuality. The Art of Eros promises that reacquaintance with the true meaning of life carries a corollary of radical personal and social evolution. The meaning of life offers the principle for a human world congruent with human nature, founded upon pleasure rather than pain.

Rodin’s erotic depictions of women in drawings, sculptures, plasters, bronzes, and marbles The theme of the erotic is ever present in the work of August Rodin, both in his sculptures and in his many drawings. Throughout his career, he depicted sexual desire in all its facets, in every mood from delicate innocence to frank intensity, bearing witness to an endless fascination with the flesh and a love of the female form. Taking a chronological path through Rodin's career, this is an intimate approach to the many faces of sex and sensuality in his body of work and in the society within which his art was forged, from mythological portrayals of passion to the context of contemporary erotic literature. The topics featured include his relationships with women, his friendships with poets and artists, and the controversy that his sculptures caused in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when French society was marked by a hypocritical disparity between public morals and private desires. In a 1916 interview, Rodin spoke out against his critics: "They protest against the immorality of my work, they criticize me for loving women…. But they are incapable of understanding what I do." This witty and insightful book, packed with beautiful images, will shed new light on this intriguing aspect of the artist's world and his skill at capturing the fleeting nature of pleasure in timeless art.
