Book excerpt: In 1908, under orders to defend a tiny, isolated Pacific atoll from an improbable French invasion, Mexican captain Ramón Arnaud, his young bride, Alicia, and eleven soldiers and their families set sail for the so-called Isle of Passion. In this dire, forbidding place, a viable community is created under Ramón's guidance and inspired by Alicia's dedication. But they are soon forgotten by a motherland distracted by political upheaval and the first rumblings of World War I. Left to the mercies of nature and one another—falling victim one by one to disease, hunger, lust, despair, and, ultimately, violence—the castaways who remain must find strength in the courage and steadfast resourcefulness of Alicia Arnaud, upon whom their collective survival now depends. Based on true events, Laura Restrepo's Isle of Passion is a brilliantly rendered and dramatic tale of savage human nature—and one woman's determination to triumph over a harrowing fate.

Book excerpt: Lies, infidelities, and unfettered desires leave you breathless until the last steamy page in this novel that proves that there’s always a price for passion. Lies, infidelities, and loads of drama are what three couples—Brenda and Roselle Woods; LaQuandra and Isaiah Lewis; and Krista and Kendall Evans—are holding on to. Each partner is harboring their own sets of resentments and secrets that could destroy the very relationships they’ve professed to want. But each couple’s truths will either bring them closer together or push them further apart. Thousands of miles away from home, each couple will embark on a journey like no other. Surrounded by lush tropics, miles of sandy white beach, and emerald-blue water lies a luxurious couples’ retreat tucked in the middle of the Pacific Ocean known as Passion Island. A privately owned, secluded paradise where couples struggling with emotional and physical intimacy are invited to spend six weeks working toward rekindling the passion in their troubled relationships, rediscovering the true meaning of love—or finally letting go. With the help of renowned sexologist Dr. Gretchen Dangerfield, each couple is pushed beyond their wildest imaginations. Sexual boundaries are challenged. Rules are broken. Truths are confronted. Commitments are questioned. Insecurities are exposed. Relationships are tested. And jealousies arise as each couple is forced to face their obsessions and their deepest, darkest desires. Featuring Cairo’s signature “style that is so raw and graphic” (Allison Hobbs), Passion Island is a gripping and hot exploration of love, sex, and relationships.

Download or read book Passion s Triumph over Reason written by Christopher Tilmouth and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passion's Triumph over Reason presents a comprehensive survey of ideas of emotion, appetite, and self-control in English literature and moral thought of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In a narrative which draws on tragedy, epic poetry, and moral philosophy, Christopher Tilmouth explores how Renaissance writers transformed their understanding of the passions, re-evaluating emotion so as to make it an important constituent of ethical life rather than the enemy within which allegory had traditionally cast it as being. This interdisciplinary study departs from current emphases in intellectual history, arguing that literature should be explored alongside the moral rather than political thought of its time. The book also develops a new approach to understanding the relationship between literature and philosophy. Consciously or not, moral thinkers tend to ground their philosophising in certain images of human nature. Their work is premissed on imagined models of the mind and presumed estimates of man's moral potential. In other words, the thinking of philosophical authors (as much as that of literary ones) is shaped by the pre-rational assumptions of the 'moral imagination'. Because that is so, poets and dramatists in their turn, in speaking to this material, typically do more than just versify the abstract ideas of ethics. They reflect, directly and critically, upon those same core assumptions which are integral to the writings of their philosophical counterparts. Authors examined here include Aristotle, Augustine, Hobbes, and an array of lyric poets; but there are new readings, too, of The Faerie Queene and Paradise Lost, Hamlet and Julius Caesar, Dryden's 'Lucretius', and Etherege's Man of Mode. Tilmouth's study concludes with a revisionist interpretation of the works of the Earl of Rochester, presenting this libertine poet as a challenging, intellectually serious figure. Written in a lucid, accessible style, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers.
