The first great American novel, albeit one written by a Frenchman. Chateaubriand's classic tale of Indian amours was, with Lewis' The Monk and Coleridge's opium dealer, the inspiration for all Romantic works to follow.

Many modern female writers are famous for their voluptuous style; their ungratified sex is expressed in such erotic art activity. The nun Hroswitha of Gandersheim (C. 940-1002) was the first known woman dramatist in German literature. She shows an out-spoken, sadistic-masochistic bent in her dreams, in their ample description of lustful, cruel and degrading scenes. It is apparent that the conception and description of the happenings must have colored the author's emotional life. Her legend,
The Passion and Martyrdom of St. Agnes the Virgin
takes place partly in a bawdy-house; the passion play,
St. Gongolf
treats the theme of cuckoldry and brings in flatulence as a scatological theme; her play
The Passion of St. Pelagus
has the theme of pederasty. In the drama
Dulcitus
the three saintly virgins are to be publicly divested by Roman soldiers. In her
Sapientia,
Fides is whipped naked so that her limbs are rent asunder; the tormentors cut off her breasts, tie her to a red-hot grating and finally behead her. In other plays Hroswitha shows a great knowledge of the doings of the inmates of the brothels. In
The Resurrection of Drusia
her theme is necrophilism. We may assume that this literary nun expressed her pent-up sex, raising it to an excessive sadistic and masochistic degree. She thus appears as a female counterpart of de Sade, who during his long term in prison was to brood over and invent similar phantastic scenes without having experienced them in real life.

All good stories begin with fascinating characters, and this novel is replete with them. We have Gwen, nineteen, five feet two inches, voluptuous and gorgeous. Gwen is a budding journalist who will do anything to get a story - and the story she gets leads her far deeper into an awareness of herself and sexual experience than she ever planned to go. We have Dan, big and brawny, a young cop, who discovers in himself a love of Gwen so overpowering that it leads him to heights of heroism and to depths of human understanding. We have the shadowy Mr. Mason, a Las Vegas racketeer, whose shadow grows blacker and more vile with each succeeding revelation of his character. And then we have Cliff, a giant of a man who proves to have a gentle heart; Claudia, a whorehouse madame and a sadistic lesbian; and Bob, Gwen's understanding and intelligent journalistic employer.

Maurice, a married cashier, meets Lulu, a streetwalker. The sad sack falls in love with her. She, however, is in love with her boyfriend/pimp, Dédé. Together, Dédé and Lulu plot ways to get Maurice to give cash to Lulu, mostly at the behest of Dédé. The ending, at once tragic and comic, led to a classic film version (The Bitch, 1931, D. Jean Renoir).

Cathy is young, beautiful, and a psychology instructor. Her primary ambition as the story opens is to write her thesis for her master's degree in psychology. When she inherits a cattle ranch in New Mexico, it appears at first as a golden opportunity. She does not need the income from the ranch, but believes the place will be a perfect setting in which to do her writing. Unfortunately, she turns out to be very wrong. Once she arrives, she encounters problems that sidetrack her from any attempt at writing. First of all, there is Juan, the foreman who is running the ranch capably and profitably. Juan is young and handsome, and Cathy is very much attracted to him. But even with her training in psychology, she still has an aversion to sex. She has never lost that guilty, shameful feeling it leaves with her after she has really enjoyed it so much. And each time the problem arises, the feeling grows more nagging and painful. However, Cathy finds it difficult to keep away from Juan....
Cathy's problem is the core of this excellent novel. Superficially, it would seem to have little to do with Women's Liberation. But it has everything to do with the liberation of a woman, and Cathy is exactly the kind of woman Margaret Adams is talking about. This, we feel, makes it a very important book to every reader who is concerned about the future of our society and the drastic way in which it is changing every day.

Poet John Glassco wrote a great many unusual and eccentric works during his career, and ranks among the finest Canadian authors of the 20th Century. This particular title, published under the pseudoym "Miles Underwood," has achieved status as a must-have in your BDSM library. It is the account of Harriet Marwood, summoned to tutor the son of a 19th Century Victorian businessman, Arthur Lovel, whose wife has died, in the proper way to conduct himself, and to quit what is wonderfully termed "self-effacing." Our Ms. Marwood soon takes over the house, leaving the businessman free to consort with Kate, his whore, and the boy, young Richard, at her mercy, where he most wants to be.

They Experience Intense Sexual Thrills!--Often Without Intercourse!--Here Is How--And Why--They Do It!
"They" are the millions of normal, sensual young men and women who find that the satisfaction afforded by "mere" sexual intercourse isn't good enough-- but who nevertheless reach rapturous, convulsive climax by some other sexual act. Among these highly sexed people are those, too, who both can and do enjoy intercourse--but only during or after the performance of some necessary "requirement" vital to their fulfillment. Here in their own unexpurgated words, a representative number of them reveal every detail of those techniques--among them, fellatio, cunnilingus, and the use of dildoes and electric aids--by which they are able to achieve astonishingly long and intense spasms of sexual ecstasy. On these pages, drawing from her vast file of actual case histories and geographically dramatizing them, renowned sexologist Dr. Gerda Mundinger recreates the most intimate and sensually gratifying moments of a select cross-section of "overly" sex men and women who--having left the path to carnal pleasure traveled by most of society--are too often condemned without being understood.

One of the funniest moments in the history of Olympia came when the South African poet Sinclair Beiles entered Girodias' office with sheets of paper adorned by Chinese characters. Telling Girodias a story about youth spent among missionaries in China, Beiles indicated his reams of parchment, and stated that they were unique erotic writings from that nation, and all he'd need to translate this phenomenal document would be some money each week for a new chapter... As it turns out, Beiles was working from an earlier translation of the 15th century erotic classic Jin Ping Mei, a work about Hsi Men (Ximen Qing) and his six wives that, with its graphic descriptions and instructions, is said to have inspired the Kama Sutra, among other books. The Jin, Ping and Mei in the title are the later three wives, and the most interesting ones for our purposes. One of those later spouses, whose name translates as Golden Lotus, is a character from the classic "Outlaws of the Marsh," delightful woman lady who poisons her ugly, smelly, not-getting-it-done first husband to marry the libertine Hsi Men, and is punished for this crime by the tiger-slaying, heroic brother of husband one. In Jin Ping Mei, Hsi Men is able to take advantage of the corrupt regime and have that heroic brother sent far, far away, while he continues to enjoy his wives and lifestyle. Beiles simplified and improved upon his translation, removing tedious interviews with court officials and drawing out some of the more intimate scenes.
The work is also known, in English, as "Golden Lotus," "The Love Pagoda," "The Six Wives of Hsi Men," etc...
