Whoa. You know you're dealing with something hot when it's only reprinted privately and anonymously in the late '60s. Brother and sister watch father and governess at play... feel compelled to act along. Their home-schooling continues to the point where they learn enough to save Dad's job.

'my philosophy is like Thebes with a hundred gates: one can enter from all sides and through each gate arrive at the direct path to the centre' Schopenhauer's two essays On the Freedom of the Will and On the Basis of Morals form his complete system of ethics. Their doctrines, continuous with those in his major work The World as Will and Representation, are presented here in more accessible, self-contained form. Schopenhauer argues, in uniquely po...

My father possessed a large and flourishing estate on one of the West Indian islands before the emancipation of the slaves. My baptismal name is Charlotte, but from the fancied likeness to a picture of the English queen of the name, my father called me Queenie, which pet name has clung to me ever since. The first event of any importance in connection with my subject which I can remember occurred when I was about ten years old. I had then a black nurse called Dora, in whose charge I was esp...

I was born in the village of D——, in the country of L——, and (like most Others) had but one mOther, but cannot exactly answer for the number of fathers, as my poor innocent mOther had more than once aspersions thrown on her character. One said she was seen, while my nominal father was from home, to go in her nightgown to the barn, where had a few minutes before our man, John Cods, been gone. A servant maid spread abroad that once passing her room she heard a whispering, and, knowing her ma...

An awakening in a whore's bedroom is, as a rule, cheerless. One is vague as to one's whereabouts, as a rule sore on the John Thomas, and a general feeling of having made a bloody fool of oneself is most often mixed with a wonder whose pyjamas you've got on and whether you've got the clap or possibly worse. Charles Vernon St Just Osmond, fifth off the succession to the earldom of Osmond, very much a 'younger son', with a good deal less money even than most younger sons, turned over twice, f...

Mr. Waleman's deft characterizations of the three passionate females, and of the smoothly functioning Mark, places his book far above the ordinary novel. His characters speak and move with authenticity and realism, and the action is so fast-paced that it is difficult to lay the book down once one has begun reading it. When we first meet Valerie Walker, we cannot help but feel her love, her trust, and a little of her incredulity that such a wonderfully virile man as Mark would be attracted ...
