Book excerpt: It’s 1979, and Aviva Rossner and Seung Jung are notorious at Auburn Academy. They’re an unlikely pair at an elite East Coast boarding school (she’s Jewish; he’s Korean American) and hardly shy when it comes to their sexuality. Aviva is a formerly bookish girl looking for liberation from an unhappy childhood; Seung is an enthusiastic dabbler in drugs and a covert rebel against his demanding immigrant parents. In the minds of their titillated classmates—particularly that of Bruce Bennett-Jones—the couple lives in a realm of pure, indulgent pleasure. But, as is often the case, their fabled relationship is more complicated than it seems: despite their lust and urgency, their virginity remains intact, and as they struggle to understand each other, the relationship spirals into disaster. The Virgins is the story of Aviva and Seung’s descent into confusion and shame, as re-imagined in richly detailed episodes by their classmate Bruce, a once-embittered voyeur turned repentant narrator. With unflinching honesty and breathtaking prose, Pamela Erens brings a fresh voice to the tradition of the great boarding school novel.

Book excerpt: Elle n’a plus rien à perdre… sauf elle-même. Heaven a toujours vécu une existence de rêve au sein de la jeunesse dorée de New York. De fêtes déjantées en boutiques de luxe, de brunchs extravagants en vacances paradisiaques, elle n’a jamais eu à se soucier de rien… jusqu’à l’arrestation de son père dans un scandale financier. Les comptes sont gelés, son nom est terni, sa mère se voile la face en dépensant sans compter l’argent qu’elle n’a pas, et Heaven doit brusquement lutter seule pour continuer ses études, survivre et payer les avocats de son père. C’est dans ces conditions qu’elle croise Jude Crawford, arrogant, moqueur, sexy, irrésistible… qu’elle doit fuir à tout prix. Ce n’est pas le moment de se laisser séduire et il ne doit rien savoir de ses secrets inavouables ! D’autant que, accablée de dettes, isolée et désespérée, Heaven se résout à l’impensable : vendre sa virginité aux enchères. Contre toute attente, c’est Jude qui l’emporte. Mais celui qu’elle prend pour son sauveur pourrait se révéler le pire des bourreaux… *** – Espèce de salaud… Mais Shark intercepte la gifle que je m’apprêtais à lui donner, tient fermement mon poignet dans sa main. – Tout doux, McAdams. Dois-je te rappeler les règles élémentaires du commerce ? Le client est toujours roi. – Sauf que tu n’es pas mon client, sifflé-je. Jamais tu n’auras ce pour quoi tu as payé, tu entends ? Certainement pas après la façon dont tu viens… – … de quoi ? me coupe-t-il avec un demi-sourire. D’acheter ce que tu as toi-même mis sur le marché ? Quoi que tu éprouves pour moi, Heaven, tu serais idiote de faire marche arrière. Tu devrais t’estimer heureuse de te faire autant d’argent en me vendant ce que tu étais prête à m’offrir il y a seulement une semaine. Je dégage mon poignet, vive comme l’éclair. Un feu s’allume dans mes veines : celui de la haine. – Qu’est-ce qui t’a rendu aussi pourri, hein, Jude ? craché-je en sentant les larmes me monter aux yeux. Aussi malfaisant ? Papa n’assistait jamais à tes compétitions sportives ? Maman ne te félicitait pas assez pour tes sculptures en pâte à modeler ? – Tu as une imagination débordante, rétorque ce salaud d’un ton égal. Continue à viser au hasard, essaye de te montrer plus originale, et peut-être que tu finiras par tomber juste. Je sens ma rage redoubler. J’ai envie de le griffer, de le frapper, de lui faire mal. Il veut m’humilier ? Il n’en sortira pas indemne. – Dis-moi, Jude, si tu préfères les vierges, ce ne serait pas parce qu’elles n’ont aucun point de comparaison par hasard ? Tu as des petites angoisses de performance, c’est ça ? – J’imagine que tu vas le découvrir assez vite, annonce-t-il d’une voix profonde sans même me donner la satisfaction d’un regard noir. Je t’attends dans deux jours à l’hôtel Barker, bungalow 13. Sois là à dix-neuf heures précises, les retards m’exaspèrent. Ah, et une dernière chose… Shark se penche à mon oreille, au point que son souffle mentholé m’enveloppe, ainsi que son odeur si masculine. – Même si tu me détestes, tu vas aimer ça, Heaven, déclare-t-il d’une voix basse et brûlante. Je t’en fais la promesse. *** The Virgin’s Price, de Chloe Wilkox, histoire intégrale.

Featuring all the trademark suspense, adventure, and history of Diana Gabaldon’s #1 bestselling novels and the Starz original series, Virgins is now available for the first time as a standalone ebook. Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend Ian Murray. Both are nursing wounds; both have good reason to stay out of Scotland; and both are still virgins, despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue. But Jamie’s love life becomes infinitely more complicated—and dangerous—when fate brings the young men into the service of Dr. Hasdi, a Jewish gentleman who hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris. One is an old Torah; the other is the doctor’s beautiful granddaughter, Rebekah, destined for an arranged marriage. Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the bride-to-be—but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who they’re truly dealing with.

Book excerpt: The Virgin's Promise demystifies the complexities of archetypes and clearly outlines the steps of a Virgin's Journey to realize her dream.

It explores the yin and yang of the Virgin and Hero journeys to take up their power as individuals, and includes a practical guide to putting this new theory into action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters—beautiful, eccentric, and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys—commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family’s fatal melancholy, in this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love, disquiet, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola, The Virgin Suicides is a modern classic, a lyrical and timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life.

Download or read book Rome s Vestal Virgins written by Robin Lorsch Wildfang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive and thoroughly up-to-date, this volume offers a brand new analysis of the Vestal Virgins’ ritual function in Roman religion. Undertaking a detailed and careful analysis of ancient literary sources, Wildfang argues that the Vestals’ virginity must be understood on a variety of different levels and provides a solution to the problem of the Vestals’ peculiar legal status in ancient Rome. Addressing the one official state priesthood open to women at Rome, this volume explores and analyzes a range of topics including: the rituals enacted by priestesses (both the public rituals performed in connection with official state rites and festivals and the private rites associated only with the order itself) the division and interface between religion, state and family structure the Vestals’ participation in rights that were outside the sphere of traditional female activity. New and insightful, this investigation of one of the most important state cults in ancient Rome is an essential addition to the bookshelves of all those interested in Roman religion, history and culture.

Download or read book The Wise Virgins written by Leonard Woolf and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of Leonard Woolf's satirical second novel, which offers an intriguing group portrait of Leonard and Virginia Woolf and other members of the Bloomsbury Group​ The Wise Virgins (1914), Leonard Woolf's second novel, was published two years after the author's marriage to Virginia Stephen--and begun during their honeymoon. The autobiographical elements of the book are well documented. Its publication caused acute distress to Woolf's family. Leonard's sister, Bella, urged him to bury the novel, while his mother was shocked and mortified by unflattering portraits of herself and her neighbors. Two weeks after reading the novel, Virginia Woolf suffered the worst of her many breakdowns. As aroman à clef the novel holds considerable interest for its picture of Leonard and Virginia's courtship, as well as its sketches of Vanessa Stephen and Clive Bell. (Virginia would later retell the story, from a much different perspective, in Night and Day.) But the novel offers the contemporary reader other rewards. It remains a witty, engaging satire about English society just before World War I and its conventions and prejudices. In Harry Davis, Woolf created a memorable Jewish antihero who rails against society's conventions but tragically finds himself unable to escape them. Award-winning biographer Victoria Glendinning contributes a foreword to this new paperback edition.

Book excerpt: From #1 New York Times bestselling author and “queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) comes a riveting and scandalous love triangle between a young woman on the brink of greatness, a young man whose ambition far exceeds his means, and the wife who cannot forgive them. In the autumn of 1558, church bells across England ring out the joyous news that Elizabeth I is the new queen, yet one woman hears the tidings with utter dread. She is Amy Dudley, wife of Sir Robert, and she knows that Elizabeth’s ambitious leap to the throne will draw her husband back to the center of the glamorous Tudor court, where he was born to be. Elizabeth’s excited triumph is short-lived. She has inherited a bankrupt country where treason is rampant and foreign war a certainty. Her faithful advisors warns her that she will survive only if she marries a strong prince to govern the rebellious country, but the one man Elizabeth desires is her childhood friend, the ambitious Robert Dudley. As the young couple falls back in love, a question hangs in the air: can he really set aside his wife and marry the queen? When Amy is found dead, Elizabeth and Dudley are suddenly plunged into a struggle for survival.
