Download or read book Masked Desires written by Tuheena Mohanty and published by Maybeify. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masked Desires, the second anthology compiled by Lawrence Mathew, is a collection of poems inked by 35 writers. The writers came joined together to create a phenomenon. This anthology is based on an extended theme of hidden desires and secret love. I selected this universal theme because I thought that most of us could connect to this easily. It can be analyzed from different angles. It may include a one-sided love, love unexpressed so far, secret relationships, or it may include your deepest darkest secrets you have not shared with anyone. We live in this society with a pretty face, but deep down, all our emotions, feelings and desires are hidden. Some writers have given their own interpretations about the theme. Some writers have written this explicitly or boldly while some others have approached this theme with an implicit or a subtle mindset. We all have felt hidden desires and secret love at least once in our life. A love which could have been deemed unworthy by the society, if they ever came to know about it.

Fiona won't reveal Prometheus's identity, but Morgan finds purpose in helping Fiona and the children. By day, Fiona is the caring headmistress of the orphanage. By night, she secretly dons the mask and cape to continue the work of Prometheus. Dodging Morgan's questions, she tells him so many lies that it soon becomes impossible to tell him the truth.

Book Synopsis The Mask of Masculinity by : Lewis Howes
Download or read book The Mask of Masculinity written by Lewis Howes and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘This is one of the most important topics today that seemingly no one is talking about: how men can take care of their emotional health in a 21st century that demands it. Crucial reading for any young or struggling man.’ - Mark Manson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was. Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men – young and old – wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes: · The ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; · The cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and · The destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man – and for every woman who loves a man.

When she discovers they are one and the same, she begs him to unmask himself, to no avail. He is willing to lose her forever rather than trust her to love him despite his scars. Frustrated, she blackmails Adrian into marrying her, ruining his trust. Will he ever believe she's come to love the man behind the mask?
Book Synopsis Demonic Desires by : Ishay Rosen-Zvi
Download or read book Demonic Desires written by Ishay Rosen-Zvi and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Demonic Desires, Ishay Rosen-Zvi examines the concept of yetzer hara, or evil inclination, and its evolution in biblical and rabbinic literature. Contrary to existing scholarship, which reads the term under the rubric of destructive sexual desire, Rosen-Zvi contends that in late antiquity the yetzer represents a general tendency toward evil. Rather than the lower bodily part of a human, the rabbinic yetzer is a wicked, sophisticated inciter, attempting to snare humans to sin. The rabbinic yetzer should therefore not be read in the tradition of the Hellenistic quest for control over the lower parts of the psyche, writes Rosen-Zvi, but rather in the tradition of ancient Jewish and Christian demonology. Rosen-Zvi conducts a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the some one hundred and fifty appearances of the evil yetzer in classical rabbinic literature to explore the biblical and postbiblical search for the sources of human sinfulness. By examining the yetzer within a specific demonological tradition, Demonic Desires places the yetzer discourse in the larger context of a move toward psychologization in late antiquity, in which evil—and even demons—became internalized within the human psyche. The book discusses various manifestations of this move in patristic and monastic material, from Clement and Origin to Antony, Athanasius, and Evagrius. It concludes with a consideration of the broader implications of the yetzer discourse in rabbinic anthropology.

Grace Callaway is always reliable when it comes to writing romances that are both romantic and steamy.” -Romance Library “Get out the high velocity fan because you will need it while reading this story. It is hotter than hot, I am not kidding. I love a tortured hero and if you do also, then grab this story right away…I love how Grace can pull you into the story of these characters and make you feel as if you are there with them.

Download or read book Ace written by Angela Chen and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging exploration of what it means to be asexual in a world that’s obsessed with sexual attraction, and what the ace perspective can teach all of us about desire and identity. What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? This accessible examination of asexuality shows that the issues that aces face—confusion around sexual activity, the intersection of sexuality and identity, navigating different needs in relationships—are the same conflicts that nearly all of us will experience. Through a blend of reporting, cultural criticism, and memoir, Ace addresses the misconceptions around the “A” of LGBTQIA and invites everyone to rethink pleasure and intimacy. Journalist Angela Chen creates her path to understanding her own asexuality with the perspectives of a diverse group of asexual people. Vulnerable and honest, these stories include a woman who had blood tests done because she was convinced that “not wanting sex” was a sign of serious illness, and a man who grew up in a religious household and did everything “right,” only to realize after marriage that his experience of sexuality had never been the same as that of others. Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal. Chen’s careful cultural analysis explores how societal norms limit understanding of sex and relationships and celebrates the breadth of sexuality and queerness.
Book Synopsis Gay Liberation after May '68 by : Guy Hocquenghem
Download or read book Gay Liberation after May '68 written by Guy Hocquenghem and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gay Liberation after May ’68, first published in France in 1974 and appearing here in English for the first time, Guy Hocquenghem details the rise of the militant gay liberation movement alongside the women’s movement and other revolutionary organizing. Writing after the apparent failure and eventual selling out of the revolutionary dream of May 1968, Hocquenghem situates his theories of homosexual desire in the realm of revolutionary practice, arguing that revolutionary movements must be rethought through ideas of desire and sexuality that undo stable gender and sexual identities. Throughout, he persists in a radical vision of the world framed through a queerness that can dismantle the oppressions of capitalism and empire, the family, institutions, and, ultimately, civilization. The articles, communiques, and manifestos that compose the book give an archival glimpse at the issues queer revolutionaries faced while also speaking to today’s radical queers as they look to transform their world.
Book Synopsis The Intellectuals and the Flag by : Todd Gitlin
Download or read book The Intellectuals and the Flag written by Todd Gitlin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The tragedy of the left is that, having achieved an unprecedented victory in helping stop an appalling war, it then proceeded to commit suicide." So writes Todd Gitlin about the aftermath of the Vietnam War in this collection of writings that calls upon intellectuals on the left to once again engage American public life and resist the trappings of knee-jerk negativism, intellectual fads, and political orthodoxy. Gitlin argues for a renewed sense of patriotism based on the ideals of sacrifice, tough-minded criticism, and a willingness to look anew at the global role of the United States in the aftermath of 9/11. Merely criticizing and resisting the Bush administration will not do—the left must also imagine and propose an America reformed. Where then can the left turn? Gitlin celebrates the work of three prominent postwar intellectuals: David Riesman, C. Wright Mills, and Irving Howe. Their ambitious, assertive, and clearly written works serve as models for an intellectual engagement that forcefully addresses social issues and remains affirmative and comprehensive. Sharing many of the qualities of these thinkers' works, Todd Gitlin's blunt, frank analysis of the current state of the left and his willingness to challenge orthodoxies pave the way for a revival in leftist thought and a new liberal patriotism.

Book excerpt: The year 2066, October seventeenth, everything changed. Creatures only believed to exist in fantasy novels and horror movies crawled up from their graves and declared in one powerful roar that they were the supreme species. The immortals. For mankind, the end days were here! The devil spawns rapidly multiplied, turning their victims into demons against their will. They spread around the globe like a plague. Humans died in droves. Blood and tears ran like rivers in the streets. Mankind was forced to put their differences aside to survive. Such a shame that's what it took. Maybe that was the idea. Maybe that's why God had forsaken the human race. It was because they had forsaken him.
