Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feelings of the heart do not abide by the rules of society, do they? Rose is a proud and egotistical courtesan. She has a reputation of exacting her revenge on those who dare to cross her or put her in a bad mood. Still, her flawless beauty and skills at her trade make her the most sought-after courtesan in Madam Dustin’s brothel. As skilled as she is, she is unprepared for the moment Lord William Clifford makes his presence known and shakes the very foundation of her life. Lord William agrees to attend a masquerade ball at the brothel with his lifelong friend, Lord Robert Tyne, with no intention of partaking of any services offered. His thoughts and emotions are strained when the most beautiful woman he’s ever encountered walks into the room. With one look from her, his life is thrown into chaos by a thunderbolt of emotions; something much stronger than lust.

Book excerpt: American privateer Richard Tetrault arrives in March 1814 at his family's plantation on the Rappahannock River in Virginia to find his home in ashes, a sister dead and his mother kidnapped by Denis Delonde, an opportunist willing to commit any act, any immorality in his quest for legendary gold. Despite ominous feelings and his need to sail, he stays with a sick Tara Kendall, only for him to find in the quiet of that parlor night a woman that is enough to steal a man away from the sea. This woman, this overwhelming tide within him, isn't supposed to happen. Richard sails on the next tide, an overriding need for vengeance driving him. But the privateer has roused something wild and unmanageable within Tara Kendall and, disowned by her father, she stows away on Richard's ship. Will Richard save his mother and catch Denis Delonde? Dare he ignore this legend that has hounded him since his childhood? His mother's life, and unknown to him, Tara's life, may hang in the balance should he ignore the warning in his dreams.

Book Synopsis The Dilemma of the Modern in Japanese Fiction by : Dennis C. Washburn
Download or read book The Dilemma of the Modern in Japanese Fiction written by Dennis C. Washburn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at modernity in Japanese literary culture as a continuing historical dynamic rather than as merely the product of the intense Westernization of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author links the modern in Japan to a sense of cultural discontinuity that may be located in fictional narratives before the encounter of Japan with the West, and he argues that modernity in Meiji Japan can be understood in terms of cultural conflict--not only Japan versus the West, but also Japan's present versus its past. Washburn compares readings from Meiji literature with readings from pre-Meiji and post-Meiji works. He begins with Genji monogatari (early eleventh century) and the Hojoki (1212), continues with stories by Saikaku (late seventeenth century), and ends with a consideration of selected texts from the Meiji period (1868-1912) through the end of the Second World War. Washburn focuses on common thematic elements that recur over time and on such formal considerations as voice and perspective that evolve historically to give expression to the sense of the modern. Using this approach, he is able to look at many individual authors in a new way and to present significant reevaluations of many important texts. This book is also a study of the East Asian Institute, Columbia University.
Book Synopsis Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches by : Lucian
Download or read book Chattering Courtesans and Other Sardonic Sketches written by Lucian and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-06-24 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by a later Greek historian as "a man seriously committed to raising a laugh", Lucian exulted in the exposure of absurdity and the puncturing of pretension, and was capable of finding a comic angle on almost any subject. In this selection we see him conversing with his literary enemies, railing against hypocrisy and the vanity of human wealth and power, and taking a wry look at the power of lust and the unsatisfactory nature of deviant sexual practices.

Like the princesses of the other two Elemental Clans that preceded me, I am destined to become the new wife of the tyrant Sylvan. And tomorrow at dawn… I will be executed.

Book Synopsis England Re-Oriented by : Humberto Garcia
Download or read book England Re-Oriented written by Humberto Garcia and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the love between British imperialists and their Asian male partners reveal about orientalism's social origins? To answer this question, Humberto Garcia focuses on westward-bound Central and South Asian travel writers who have long been forgotten or dismissed by scholars. This bias has obscured how Joseph Emin, Sake Dean Mahomet, Shaykh I'tesamuddin, Abu Talib Khan, Abul Hassan Khan, Yusuf Khan Kambalposh, and Lutfullah Khan found in their conviviality with Englishwomen and men a strategy for inhabiting a critical agency that appropriated various media to make Europe commensurate with Asia. Drama, dance, masquerades, visual art, museum exhibits, music, postal letters, and newsprint inspired these genteel men to recalibrate Persianate ways of behaving and knowing. Their cosmopolitanisms offer a unique window on an enchanted third space between empires in which Europe was peripheral to Islamic Indo-Eurasia. Encrypted in their mediated homosocial intimacies is a queer history of orientalist mimic men under the spell of a powerful Persian manhood.

Book Synopsis Concubines and Courtesans by : Matthew S. Gordon
Download or read book Concubines and Courtesans written by Matthew S. Gordon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concubines and Courtesans contains sixteen essays that consider, from a variety of viewpoints, enslaved and freed women across medieval and pre-modern Islamic social history. The essays bring together arguments regarding slavery, gender, social networking, cultural production (songs, poetry and instrumental music), sexuality, Islamic family law, and religion in the shaping of Near Eastern and Islamic society over time. They range over nearly 1000 years of Islamic history - from the early, formative period (seventh to tenth century C.E.) to the late Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal eras (sixteenth to eighteenth century C.E.) - and regions from al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) to Central Asia (Timurid Iran). The close, common thread joining the essays is an effort to account for the lives, careers and representations of female slaves and freed women participating in, and contributing to, elite urban society of the Islamic realm. Interest in a gendered approach to Islamic history, society and religion has by now deep roots in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies. The shared aim of the essays collected here is to get at the wealth of these topics, and to underscore their centrality to a firm grasp on Islamic and Middle Eastern history.

Book Synopsis Willem Drost (1633-1659) by : Jonathan Bikker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book draws on extensive research to revise what has been known about Drost's life, his stylistically diverse oeuvre, and his influences. The artist's training and his relationship to Rembrandt and other artists in the Rembrandt circle are examined, as is his Venetian period and the relation of his style to that of German-born painter Johann Carl Loth. Drost emerges as one of Rembrandt's most talented imitators and, despite his very short career, an artist with a variety of faces."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Xanthippic Dialogues by : Roger Scruton
Download or read book Xanthippic Dialogues written by Roger Scruton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real Plato is revealed to us, by the women whom he banished from his arguments. In Plato's dialogues, an idealised Socrates expounds the ideas for which Plato will, until the end of history, be famous. The world of Forms; the ideal Republic with its totalitarian masterplan; the tribute to Eros, god of love (or at least of homosexual love); the promise of soul's salvation - all this has come down to us in the distinctive tone of Plato's teacher. But how much of it did Socrates believe? Were Plato's contemporaries really taken in? Who was Plato anyway? And what lay behind his philosophy, from which the real world of men and women was so rigorously excluded? Until the discovery of the Xanthippic Dialogues, we had no answers to those questions. Now the real Plato is revealed to us, by the women whom he banished from his arguments. In this brilliant and witty exposé, the mask of abstraction is lifted, to reveal the truth that lies beneath. And the truth is Xanthippe: wife of Socrates, teacher of Aristole, and Founding Mother of the Western world.
