One day, Julio Lauren decided to have a connection with Celine again, but only to offer her a task to sleep with Brylee's boyfriend, Sebastian Anderson, in return for a huge amount of money. Her father needs a clean woman to do it--- a virgin one to be exact, so that Sebastian, the richest man in the country, will finally marry his favorite daughter, Brylee.

Julio saw Celine as the only candidate because she wasn’t only virgin, but also looked exactly like Brylee. Celine accepted the offer without hesitation.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment of Working Women written by Catharine A. MacKinnon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive legal theory is needed to prevent the persistence of sexual harassment. Although requiring sexual favors as a quid pro quo for job retention or advancement clearly is unjust, the task of translating that obvious statement into legal theory is difficult. To do so, one must define sexual harassment and decide what the law's role in addressing harassment claims should be. In Sexual Harassment of Working Women,' Catharine Mac-Kinnon attempts all of this and more. In making a strong case that sexual harassment is sex discrimination and that a legal remedy should be available for it, the book proposes a new standard for evaluating all practices claimed to be discriminatory on the basis of sex. Although MacKinnon's "inequality" theory is flawed and its implications are not considered sufficiently, her formulation of it makes the book a significant contribution to the literature of sex discrimination. MacKinnon calls upon the law to eliminate not only sex dis- crimination but also most instances of sexism from society. She uses traditional theories in an admittedly strident manner, and relies upon both traditional and radical-feminist sources. The results of her effort are mixed. The book is at times fresh and challenging, at times needlessly provocative. -- https://www.jstor.org (Sep. 30, 2016).

Download or read book Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family written by Lewis Henry Morgan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern anthropology would be radically different without this book. Published in 1871, this first major study of kinship, inventive and wide-ranging, created a new field of inquiry in anthropology. Drawing partly upon his own fieldwork among American Indians, anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan examined the kinship systems of over one hundred cultures, probing for similarities and differences in their organization. In his attempt to discover particular types of marriage and descent systems across the globe, Morgan demonstrated the centrality of kinship relations in many cultures. Kinship, it was revealed, was an important key for understanding cultures and could be studied through systematic, scientific means. ø Anthropologists continue to wrestle with the premises, methodology, and conclusions of Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity. Scholars such as W. H. R. Rivers, Robert Lowie, Meyer Fortes, Fred Eggan, and Claude Lävi-Strauss have acknowledged their intellectual debt to this study; those less sympathetic to Morgan?s treatment of kinship nonetheless do not question its historical significance and impact on the development of modern anthropology.
Download or read book Sanyan Stories written by and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented here are nine tales from the celebrated Ming dynasty Sanyan collection of vernacular stories compiled and edited by Feng Menglong (1574–1646), the most knowledgeable connoisseur of popular literature of his time in China. The stories he collected were pivotal to the development of Chinese vernacular fiction, and their importance in the Chinese literary canon and world literature has been compared to that of Boccaccio’s Decameron and the stories of One Thousand and One Nights. Peopled with scholars, emperors, ministers, generals, and a gallery of ordinary men and women in their everyday surroundings—merchants and artisans, prostitutes and courtesans, matchmakers and fortune-tellers, monks and nuns, servants and maids, thieves and imposters—the stories provide a vivid panorama of the bustling world of imperial China before the end of the Ming dynasty. The three volumes constituting the Sanyan set—Stories Old and New, Stories to Caution the World, and Stories to Awaken the World, each containing forty tales—have been translated in their entirety by Shuhui Yang and Yunqin Yang. The stories in this volume were selected for their popularity with American readers and their usefulness as texts in classes on Chinese and comparative literature. These unabridged translations include all the poetry that is scattered throughout the original stories, as well as Feng Menglong’s interlinear and marginal comments, which point out what seventeenth-century readers of the stories were being asked to appreciate.

Download or read book The Rough Road or The Golden Path written by James Prince and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story like many others--the history of a person persecuted for knowing, but mainly for spreading the truth that has never really been welcome in this world. This persecution happened at the time he was deeply in love with a very pretty young lady he was paying court to, but to survive and to have a chance to continue writing about the biggest scandal of all times, he had to flee from her, and this without even have a chance to explain the situation to her. By writing his story, this man is in the hope that a public inquiry will be made about these injustices that have hurt him a lot. For this matter, he has brought together many testimonies of people who participated in this persecution. Many of these people have regretted deeply, mostly because they are animal lovers and many of these animals were cruelly and savagely killed in the process. But just like Jesus said it and I often said it myself, the weeping and gnashing of teeth are not for the children of God. It is already too late to save the dead animals that paid the price for these crimes, but a public inquiry might just be the tool that will help in saving these innocent beings in the future.
Download or read book Letters and Papers from Prison written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great classics of prison literature, Letters and Papers from Prison effectively serves as the last will and testament of the Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a young German pastor who was executed by the Nazis in 1945 for his part in the “officers’ plot” to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This expanded version of Letters and Papers from Prison shifts the emphasis of earlier editions of Bonhoeffer’s theological reflections to the private sphere of his life. His letters appear in greater detail and show his daily concerns. Letters from Bonhoeffer’s parents, siblings, and other relatives have also been added, in addition to previously inaccessible letters and legal papers referring to his trial. Acute and subtle, warm and perceptive, yet also profoundly moving, the documents collectively tell a very human story of loss, of courage, and of hope. Bonhoeffer’s story seems as vitally relevant, as politically prophetic, and as theologically significant today, as it did yesterday.
