Download or read book The Lustful Turk written by Anonymous and published by olympiapress.com. This book was released on 2005-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes in the Harem of an Eastern Potentate faithfully and vividly depicting in a series of letters from a young and beautiful English lady to her friend in England the full particulars of her ravishment and of her complete abandonment to all the salacious tastes of the Turks, the whole being described with that zest and simplicity which always gives guarantee of authenticity. Actually a pre-Victorian title, dating roughly to the 1820s, but a work that, in its epistolary fashion, set the stage for the many great classics of that period whic followed. Told in a series of letters, a virgin is kidnapped by forces of an Islamic lord, introduced into sex violently, and then discovers her appetite for the flesh knows no bounds. An instant hit, and never out-of-print, if not always above-ground.

Book Clandestine Erotic Fiction in English 1800   1930

Download or read book Clandestine Erotic Fiction in English 1800 1930 written by Peter Mendes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers bibliographical descriptions of all printings of erotic fiction in English issued clandestinely during the period 1800-1930. By 'clandestine' is meant books whose publishers and printers attempt to hide their identities, usually by offering title pages whose misleading places and dates of publication may shock and amuse, but which always aim to mystify. Using internal and external evidence, an attempt is made to establish who were the printers, booksellers and publishers, English and Continental, involved in this trade. The printing families or 'groups' into which a large percentage of the material falls are classified, accompanied by illustrations which identify the main printing characteristics ('house styles') of the groups. Bibliographical descriptions follow a checklist of clandestine catalogues; these provide valuable evidence for dating, pricing and 'sales pitch' and information on items of which no copies can now be traced. The work concludes with a series of appendices which provide significant external evidence, and three indexes: of themes, titles and names. Peter Mendes' original research builds on and significantly extends the essential pioneer work of the Victorian collector and bibliographer H.S. Ashbee ('Pisanus Fraxi').

Book The Dangerous Lover

  • Author : Deborah Lutz

  • Release : 2006
  • ISBN : 0814210341
  • Pages : 130 pages

Download or read book The Dangerous Lover written by Deborah Lutz and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Dangerous Lover takes seriously the ubiquity of the brooding romantic hero - his dark past, his remorseful and rebellious exile from comfortable everyday living. Deborah Lutz traces the recent history of this figure, through the melancholy iconoclasm of the Romantics, the lost soul redeemed by love of the Brontes, and the tormented individualism of twentieth-century love narratives. The Dangerous Lover is the first book-length study of this pervasive literary hero; it also challenges the tendency of sophisticated philosophical readings of popular narratives and culture to focus on male-coded genres. In its conjunction of high and low literary forms, this volume explores new historical and cultural framings for female-coded popular narratives."--BOOK JACKET.

Book A Study of Erotic Literature in England

Download or read book A Study of Erotic Literature in England written by W. v. Murat and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work fills a gap as it attempts to offer a history of erotic literature published in the United Kingdom. The word Study in the title is perhaps a bit exaggerated as the material is largely taken from the now well known bibliographies by Pisanus Fraxi (Henry Spencer Ashbee) and quotations from the books themselves. The time line is WW II. Who was the author? He may have been Charles Reginald Dawes (1879-1964) who is supposed to have written (but not published) a text of this or a similar title. His profession or his activities are not known - he once called himself a writer but library catalogues credit him only with two publications: The Marquis de Sade (Paris 1927) and Retif de la Bretonne (London 1946, privately printed). He may have been a popular writer under pseudonyms, though. Dawes owned a good erotica collection which he willed to the British Museum Library; that would explain why the author of this Study - if he was Dawes - could quote freely from erotic texts which only few of his contemporaries would have had available. The main merits of this book are that the author was thoroughly familiar with English (and French) erotic literature and that he put his material in chronological order and in context. The editor added a number of references, illustrations and indices of personal names and titles to facilitate navigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every stretch of voluptuous imagination is here fully depicted, rogering, ramming, one unbounded scene of lust, lechery, and licentiousness." - William Dugdale (1865) Intent on a life far removed from the stolidity of her previous one, Emily Barlow sets sail for shores a new. Before she knows it, her vessel is set upon by Barbary pirates and, betrayed by her Captain, she is taken as a trophy by Ali, the Dey of Algiers. Fearful at first and woeful of her plight, the Dey soon uses all his salacious will and seductive power to awaken within Emily a passion and sexual energy that she had never known existed. Together with her, also captured, maid, our heroine loses herself in orgiastic abandon to freely serve the libidinous will of her captor, using all manner of methods and devices, up to the novel's poignant and unforgettable conclusion. Condemned as 'obscene' by Lord Chief Justice Campbell in 1857, inspiring forthwith the Obscene Publications Act of 1857, the work was one of a catalogue of books publisher William Dugdale was prosecuted and jailed for disseminating. Written anonymously in 1828, this per-Victorian work of erotica, which in part inspired the Orientalist movement in art and literature, will sure to shock and entertain audiences near two centuries after it was originally written.

Book The Journal of Dora Damage

  • Author : Belinda Starling
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 2010-10-01
  • ISBN : 1608196046
  • Pages : 466 pages

Download or read book The Journal of Dora Damage written by Belinda Starling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London, 1860: On the brink of destitution, Dora Damage illicitly takes over her ailing husband's bookbinding business, only to find herself lured into binding expensive volumes of pornography commissioned by aristocratic roués. Dora's charm and indefatigable spirit carry her through this rude awakening as she contends with violent debt collectors, an epileptic daughter, evil doctors, a rheumatic husband, errant workmen, nosy neighbors, and a constant stream of wealthy dilettantes. When she suddenly finds herself forced to offer an internship to a mysterious, fugitive American slave, Dora realizes she has been pulled into in an illegal trade of sex, money, and deceit. The Journal of Dora Damage conjures a vision of London when it was the largest city in the world, grappling with the filth produced by a swollen population. Against a backdrop of power and politics, work and idleness, conservatism and abolitionism, Belinda Starling explores the restrictions of gender, class, and race, the ties of family and love, and the price of freedom in this wholly engrossing debut novel. REVIEWS: "Unfortunately, Starling's debut novel will be her last; she died prematurely last year at the age of 34. Although the plot is a bit too crowded and overworked-a common novice mistake-this historical melodrama artfully evokes the contradictions inherent in Victorian society. When Dora Damage is forced by circumstances-an invalid husband and an epileptic daughter-to take over the family bookbinding business, she is inexorably drawn into a London netherworld she barely knew existed. As if binding pornographic books for a circle of aristocratic clients isn't bad enough, she is also compelled to harbor Din Nelson, a fugitive American slave. Unable to suppress her emotional and physical attraction for Din, she gives into desire and her real education begins."- Booklist

Book Blood Brothers

Download or read book Blood Brothers written by M.J. Akbar and published by Roli Books Private Limited. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood Brothers is M.J. Akbar's amazing story of three generations of a Muslim family - based on his own - and how they deal with the fluctuating contours of Hindu-Muslim relations. Telinipara, a small jute mill town some 30 miles north of Kolkata along the Hooghly, is a complex Rubik's Cube of migrant Bihari workers, Hindus and Muslims; Bengalis poor and 'bhadralok'; and Sahibs who live in the safe, 'foreign'world of the Victoria Jute Mill. Into this scattered inhabitation enters a child on the verge of starvation, Prayaag, who is saved and adopted by a Muslim family, converts to Islam and takes on the name of Rahmatullah. As Rahmatullah knits Telinipara into a community, friendship, love trust and faith are continually tested by the cancer of riots. Incidents - conversion, circumcision, the arrival of the plague of electricity - and a fascinating array of characters - the ultimate Brahmin, Rahmatullah's friend Girija Maharaj; the worker's leader, Bauna Sardar; the storyteller, Talat Mian; the poet- teacher, Syed Ashfaque; the smiling mendicant, Burha Deewana; the sincere Sahib, Simon Hogg; and then the questioning, demanding third generation of the author and his friend Kamala - interlink into a narrative of social history as well as a powerful memoir. Blood Brothers is a chronicle of its age, its canvas as enchanting as its narrative, a personal journey through change as tensions build, stretching the bonds of a lifetime to breaking point and demanding, in the end, the greatest sacrifice. Its last chapters, written in a bare-bones, unemotional style, are the most moving as the author searches for hope amid raw wounds with a surgeon's scalpel.
