August 4, 1996. Monday morning. Chase Chilton wakes up with the thought...Damn! Foiled again! Still burning from his date last night with a Hot Tamale. A fiesta that ended up in a fiasco! Chase picks up the morning paper, and this simple act precipites his immediate endeavor: trying to evade the APB issued in his name by the San Bruno Police Department. Seems he's the number one suspect in a murder investigation that has more twists than a pretzel; more wrinkles than a $50 suit; more turning points than a staircase in a lighthouse. Chase is chased and Chase is the chaser. He attempts to clear his name with a little help from his friends - retired Criminology Professor Jeremy Jenkins, and the brother of the victim, Mario Lopez, this year's leading apprentice jockey at Bay Meadows race track. The track where Chase mans a $50 Turf Club window. The race is on! to see if the three sleuths can uncover the real murderer. Before Chase is apprehended and incicted for the crime! For the Graduating Class of 1950 from Saint Agnes High School, Springfield, Missouri, by the class of the Class of 1950.

In this detailed treatment of the myth of Adonis in post-Classical times, Carlo Caruso provides an overview of the main texts, both literary and scholarly, in Latin and in the vernacular, which secured for the Adonis myth a unique place in the Early Modern revival of Classical mythology. While aiming to provide this general outline of the myth's fortunes in the Early Modern age, the book also addresses three points of primary interest, on which most of the original research included in the work has been conducted. First, the myth's earliest significant revival in the age of Italian Humanism, and particularly in the poetry of the great Latin poet and humanist Giovanni Pontano. Secondly, the diffusion of syncretistic interpretations of the Adonis myth by means of authoritative sixteenth-century mythological encyclopaedias. Thirdly, the allegorical/political use of the Adonis myth in G.B. Marino's (1569-1625) Adone, published in Paris in 1623 to celebrate the Bourbon dynasty and to support their legitimacy with regard to the throne of France.

Rich with implications for the history of sexuality, gender issues, and patterns of Hellenic literary imagining, Marcel Detienne's landmark book recasts long-standing ideas about the fertility myth of Adonis. The author challenges Sir James Frazer's thesis that the vegetation god Adonis-- whose premature death was mourned by women and whose resurrection marked a joyous occasion--represented the annual cycle of growth and decay in agriculture. Using the analytic tools of structuralism, Detienne shows instead that the festivals of Adonis depict a seductive but impotent and fruitless deity--whose physical ineptitude led to his death in a boar hunt, after which his body was found in a lettuce patch. Contrasting the festivals of Adonis with the solemn ones dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of grain, he reveals the former as a parody and negation of the institution of marriage. Detienne considers the short-lived gardens that Athenian women planted in mockery for Adonis's festival, and explores the function of such vegetal matter as spices, mint, myrrh, cereal, and wet plants in religious practice and in a wide selection of myths. His inquiry exposes, among many things, attitudes toward sexual activities ranging from "perverse" acts to marital relations.

Excerpt from A Perfect Adonis No, I suppose not. She's never been in society. She is an orphan, has not had anybody to take her out, nobody belonging to her but an oaf of a brother, who is only in the way, no good to anybody not a very reputable fellow, I'm afraid. She doesn't know many people. Besides, she's pious. This, Miss Varian said with simplicity, as if she had been naming her nationality or her parentage. Mr. Hunt thought it funny, and laughed; when she turned on him rather sharply. I don't like her any the less for it, she said. I like people to carry out an idea, to be. Something, even if it is only pious. Dear devout thing; I'm not sure but that's what I fancy her for more than anything. I like people who own a title; who have pre-empted some adjective. She is the only pretty young woman I know who has the right to this. Is she so very pretty? Said one of the two daughters, creeping up, interested, to join in the conversation. You shall soon see for yourself; she is so fresh, so new to things. I mean to do everything for her. She antici pates so much pleasure.

Growing numbers of young men are taking the quest for perfect muscles, skin and hair too far, crossing the line from normal interest to pathological obsession. For the first time, three of the world's leading authorities on men help us to understand and combat the frightening set of compulsive behaviours that make up the Adonis Complex. Combining colourful case studies with scientific research, they reveal a threat that is as serious as the beauty myth for women or anorexia nervosa for girls. The symptoms of this dangerous body obsession, excessive workouts, steroid abuse, eating disorders and body and muscle dysmorphic disorder (distorted body perception), lead to problems with sex and intimacy, relationships and work. In teenagers, the Adonis Complex can interfere with healthy emotional and physical development. Until now, frank discussion of this problem has been virtually taboo. At last we can hear what men really think and feel about their bodies, so that those who suffer in silence will no longer need to suffer alone.

Excerpt from A Black Adonis Could they have done anything else than live in connubial felicity, after the man had proved himself so noble and the woman had learned to appreciate him at his true worth? Well, whether they could or not, they didn't. Blanche is the happiest of wedded wives. She still holds to her theory that marriage is based on wrong principles, and that the contract as ordinarily made is (rightfully immoral but she says if all men were like her Jules there would be no trouble. In this she proves herself essentially feminine. She is learning, albeit a little late, that man was not made to live alone, and that the love a mother feels for her child is not the only one that brings joy to a woman's breast.
