Book Synopsis The School of Venus by : Michel Millot
Download or read book The School of Venus written by Michel Millot and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age where the Church ruled and anything but the missionary position with your spouse was a sin, people still wanted more. That is clear from the fact that this book exists, was translated from the original French to English, and at least one parliamentarian admitted to reading it. I'll add in my own assumption that even without this book there would be a lot of people asking for forgiveness for their bedroom activities based on the Church's guidelines. Samuel Pepys, an Admiral and Parliamentarian purchased his own copy in England, in 1668 when he saw it in an average book store. Though, he notes he bought it in plain binding as he intended to burn it after reading as not to disgrace himself if someone found it. He skipped church the next day to peruse his purchase and on conclusion wrote this in his diary: "It was not amiss for a sober man once to read over to inform himself in the villainy of the world... it did force my prick beyond stand all the while."

Download or read book The Ladies' Delight written by Émile Zola and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ladies’ Delight (1883) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. The eleventh of twenty volumes of Zola’s monumental Les Rougon-Macquart series is an epic story of family, politics, class, and history that traces the disparate paths of several French citizens raised by the same mother. Spanning the entirety of the French Second Empire, Zola provides a sweeping portrait of change that refuses to shy away from controversy and truth as it gets to the heart of heredity and human nature. At the age of twenty, Denise Baudu moves to Paris with her brothers and finds work at “Au Bonheur des Dames,” a new department store owned by eccentric entrepreneur Octave Mouret. There, she grows accustomed to 13-hour days, inferior food and housing, and the constant grind of thankless labor. Despite her circumstances, she soon finds herself attracted to Mouret, a notorious womanizer whose exploitative business practices have alienated him from employees and local businesspeople. Mouret’s ambition and innovation have led him to corner the market on textiles, womenswear, furniture, and household goods, infuriating his competitors and driving smaller shops into bankruptcy. Until Denise, he has avoided tying himself down to another, intent on building a fortune for himself without the interference of family. Innocent at first, she soon learns how to manipulate Octave to do her bidding. The Ladies’ Delight is a story of family and fate, a thrilling and detailed novel that continues a series rich enough for its author to explore in twenty total volumes. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s The Ladies’ Delight is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
Book Synopsis Au Bonheur des Dames (The Ladies' Delight) by : Émile Zola
Download or read book Au Bonheur des Dames (The Ladies' Delight) written by Émile Zola and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now the basis for the major BBC tv adaptation The Paradise, this is a lavish drama and a timeless commentary on consumerism. The Penguin Classics edition of Émile Zola's The Ladies' Delight is based on an acclaimed, vivid and modern translation by Robin Buss, who has also introduced the novel. The Ladies' Delight is the glittering Paris department store run by Octave Mouret. He has used charm and drive to become director of this mighty emporium, unscrupulously exploiting his young female staff and seducing his lady customers with luxurious displays of shimmering silks, satins, velvets and lace. Then Denise Baudu, a naïve provincial girl, becomes an assistant at the store - and Mouret discovers that he in turn can also be enchanted. With its greedy customers, gossiping staff and vibrant sense of theatre, The Ladies' Delight (Au Bonheur des Dames in the original French) is one of the most richly exciting novels in Zola's Les Rougon-Macquart cycle. This edition also contains a bibliography, introduction, chronology and explanatory notes. Emile Zola (1840-1902) was the leading figure in the French school of naturalistic fiction. His principal work, Les Rougon-Macquart, is a panorama of mid-19th century French life, in a cycle of 20 novels which Zola wrote over a period of 22 years, including Au Bonheur des Dames (1883), The Beast Within (1890), Nana (1880), and The Drinking Den (1877).

Book Synopsis The Ladies' Paradise (The Ladies' Delight) - Unabridged by : Émile Zola
Download or read book The Ladies' Paradise (The Ladies' Delight) - Unabridged written by Émile Zola and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Ladies' Paradise (The Ladies' Delight) - Unabridged” is formatted for your eReader with a functional table of contents. Also known as Au Bonheur des Dames; The Ladies' Delight or The Ladies' Paradise; is the eleventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart series by Émile Zola. The novel is set in the world of the department store, an innovative development in mid-nineteenth century retail sales. Zola models his store after Le Bon Marché, which consolidated under one roof many of the goods hitherto sold in separate shops. In Au Bonheur des Dames, the store is a symbol of capitalism, the modern city and the bourgeois family. It is emblematic of changes in consumer culture, sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century. The novel tells the story of Denise Baudu, a 20-year-old woman from Valognes who comes to Paris with her brothers and begins working at the department store Au Bonheur des Dames as a saleswoman. Zola describes the inner workings of the store from the employees' perspective, including the 13-hour workdays, the substandard food and the bare lodgings (for the female staff). Many of the conflicts in the novel spring from the struggles for advancement and the malicious infighting and gossip among the staff. Au Bonheur des Dames is a sequel to "Pot-Bouille". Like its predecessor, Au Bonheur des Dames focuses on Octave Mouret (b. 1840), who at the end of the previous novel married Caroline Hédouin, the owner of a small silk shop. Now a widower, Octave has expanded the business into an international retail powerhouse occupying (at the beginning of the book) most of an entire city block. Au Bonheur des Dames has been made into a number of films, television series and plays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Charles, of a predilection given over too those quite younger than he, invites a bevy of virginal and bright young things to his substantial residence and grounds with the surest intention of debauching each eager and naive beauty. Under the guise of innocent games as 'hide-and-seek', 'blind-man's bluff', and the ever entertaining 'find the slipper', the old rake makes opportune of every moment to take the most lascivious liberties with them, both apart and a'la group, educating them in the ways of the gamahuche, tribade, and various positions of fornication, until all are truly awakened to the multiple pleasures of a Libertinage life. In letters to his previous loves, he describes in sumptuously graphic details the manner in which he seduces each of his wards, and the deeds they take great pleasure in partaking in. With a steady supply of inexperienced and willing young women from Mrs. J's orphanage to sate his libidinous desires, Sir Charles' virility will surely be put to the test. That's if his wife's lover as well as the sapphic tutor of one of his favorites don't put him to the sword. This classic gem of Victorian erotica, featuring some of the most titillating scenes that ever graced the pages of a like novel, and with some pistol brandishing brigands providing a dash of unexpected action, The New Epicurean, is a fine edition to any collection of the once forbidden.
