O - Jonathan Margolis - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

O - Jonathan Margolis - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

In 1558 an anatomist called Columbus discovered the clitoris, and so a whole new world of sexual pleasure began to be opened up - and it was a steady progress that culminated in the present Golden Age. That at least is the official history. Here Jonathan Margolis produces evidence to show that in Europe and America progress was extremely slow whilst in other places the secrets of the orgasm created almost unimaginable worlds of pleasure. The book will draw on orgasm''s biology, anthropology, psychology, technology and sociology. The orgasm was revered in ancient societies, but by the 13th Century modesty ruled: St Francis of Assisi would throw himself into a thorn bush to disguise unwanted erections and avoid all possibility of orgasm. Victorians still regarded the female orgasm as a form of hysteria - women were treated for hysteria and, by the 19th century, were strongly advised against riding bicycles for this reason. In Edwardian Britain and America, vibrators were routinely advertised in the respectable women''s magazines as a form of handy household appliance. Margolis considers the revival of open, public interest in sex in the late 1950s, and the effect of the Pill, feminism and Viagra on the state of the orgasm in the 21st century.

Praise for The Book of Mirrors ''Intelligent and sophisticated - a crime story told the way Picasso painted pictures. Highly recommended .''Lee Child ''I loved this twisty mind game! The Book Of Mirrors starts with a secret manuscript about a cold-case murder and then uses a host of characters and perspectives to make you look in every direction but at the truth. Who is lying? Is anyone''s recall perfect? This isn''t just a very clever thriller---it leaves us wondering how much we subconsciously manipulate our own memories to protect ourselves.''

Jenni Murray ''An elegant, gripping, multi-layered tale about the illusory nature of truth and memory. I loved it .'' Tammy Cohen'' The Book of Mirrors is exactly what I look for in a thriller: a great concept, brilliantly executed, smarter than it seems and knotty enough to keep you guessing. Like the best stories about memory, it leaves the reader wondering what''s true and what isn''t.'' - James Smythe''This Romanian author''s debut novel in English is an agile and provocative exploration the tricks memory can play'' - Sunday Times ''An impressive first novel, intelligent and well written'' - The Times This twisty, brilliantly written tale of a grisly unsolved murder at Princeton asks if we can truly trust our own memories.

Patrick O'Brian - Nikolai Tolstoy - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Patrick O'Brian - Nikolai Tolstoy - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The defintive account of the early life of the revered author of the Aubrey-Maturin novels including Master and Commander . To many, Patrick O''Brian was the greatest British novelist of the Twentieth Century. The twenty volumes of the series set in the Royal Navy of the beginning of the Nineteenth Century and featuring Aubrey and Maturin have been hailed as ''the best historical novels ever written'' by the New York Times. Nikolai Tolstoy was O''Brian''s stepson and his acquaintanceship with him lasted forty-five years during most of O''Brian''s marriage to Mary Tolstoy, Nikolai''s mother. Tolstoy stayed with the couple regularly at their French home and was a frequent correspondent with the reclusive and secretive author, discovering facets of his character and creative genius that he showed to no one else. He has unique access to letters, notebooks and photographs, which will appear in this book. This volume tells the story of O''Brian''s life up to his decision to move to Collioure in the South of France. His oppressed childhood, his precocious writing success, his first visit to Ireland, his sailing experiences as a young man, and the truth behind his first marriage, divorce and name change are all dealt with. This is the first part of the definitive biography of one of our literary geniuses.

James Connolly - Sean O'callaghan - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

FROM THE FORMER IRA MEMBER AND AUTHOR OF THE INFORMER , SEAN O''CALLAGHAN ''Very interesting on how fanaticism can develop within a community, and especially relevant today.'' Bob GeldofThe story of revolutionary James Connolly, his role in the 1916 Easter Rising, and his subsequent influence both on O''Callaghan himself, and on 20th century Irish politics. Easter Monday, 24th April, 1916 : James Connolly, a 48-year-old Edinburgh-born Marxist and former British soldier, stands at the top of the steps of Liberty Hall, Dublin. ''We are going out to be slaughtered,'' Connolly told his comrades, and with this he set in train the Easter Rising of 1916.Two weeks later, in a scene that has haunted Nationalist Ireland ever since, he was carried to his place of execution having been badly wounded. Placed on a chair, he was shot dead by soldiers of the army he had once served in.This is not a traditional biography; it is a book about Sean O''Callaghan''s relationship with a man who was to deeply influence his formative years; it is about the politics of violent extremism that O''Callaghan subsequently became caught up in; and it''s about the kind of individuals who are willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for a holy cause. Never has a book been more timely.

Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down - Robert Sellers - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down - Robert Sellers - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Alan Bates, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney, Richard Harris, Peter O''Toole, Robert Shaw and Terence Stamp: They are the most formidable acting generation ever to tread the boards or stare into a camera, whose anti-establishment attitude changed the cultural landscape of Britain.This was a new breed, many culled from the working class industrial towns of Britain, and nothing like them has been seen before or since. Their raw earthy brilliance brought realism to a whole range of groundbreaking theatre from John Osborne''s Look Back in Anger to Joan Littlewood and Harold Pinter and the creation of the National Theatre. And they ripped apart the staid, middle-class British film industry with kitchen-sink classics like Saturday Night and Sunday Morning , This Sporting Life , The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, A Kind of Loving and Billy Liar before turning their sights on international stardom: Connery with James Bond, O''Toole as Lawrence of Arabia, Finney with Tom Jones and Caine in Zulu . Don''t Let the Bastards Grind You Down brings alive the trail-blazing period of theatre and film from 1956-1964 through the vibrant energy and exploits of this revolutionary generation of stars who bulldozed over austerity Britain and paved the way for the swinging 60s. What Peter Biskind''s Easy Riders Raging Bulls did for American cinema writing so Don''t Let the Bastards will do for the British cinema.

The Torrents Of Spring - Ernest Hemingway - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Subtitled ''A Romantic Novel in Honour of the Passing of a Great Race'', The Torrents of Spring - Hemingway''s second published work - wonderfully parodies the themes and styles of the ''great race'' of writers of his generation.Spring is coming to the small towns of Michigan, but the snow still covers the land when Scripps O''Neil sets of for Chicago, decides to stop a while in Petoskey, and meets up with Yogi Johnson. Their bizarre stories are a brilliant satire on conventional fiction. The characters they meet are absurd and yet strangely familiar. Short, fast-paced, funny, The Torrents of Spring throws light on Hemingway''s later work - and is a delight to read. Here we can see the developing talent of one of the great novelists of the twentieth century.
