Book Description
______________________ 'Erotica has been languishing on the top shelf for years, but a new generation of woman writers is moving it from the fringes to the literary mainstream' - Observer Magazine 'Her hilarious, yet often fond descriptions of her clients are brilliant ... This blog-book is grittier than most ... Her adult diary is a hoot ... Written in her witty style, coupled with some extremely explicit entries, this book is a must for blog-book fans, acting as a sex guide, cautionary tale and raunchy memoir' - Chloe Cummings, Erotic Review ______________________ 'I have seen and done everything... There is no fantasy left that scares me.' Known to her clients as 'the Surfer Girl', Bruna Surfistinha ran away from home at the age of seventeen to become a high-class call girl. She wrote a candid and explicit web diary about her three years turning tricks in the swanky suburbs of São Paulo. Now she draws back the sheets to reveal the whole story. Nonchalant and funny, Bruna portrays her estranged middle-class family, her out-of-control drug use and her unbridled sexuality. Part memoir, part cautionary tale, part sex guide, The Scorpion's Sweet Venom brings to life the details of Bruna's adventures with men, women and couples and reveals what we really want in bed but are afraid to ask for at home. ______________________ 'Shhh......sex sells. The British buy books about sex ranging from traditional erotica to practical guides and 'posh porn' published under the guise of art. These writers can be seen as part of the new generation of feminism, with women feeling more at ease writing about sex' - Bookseller

Book Description
Jodorowsky’s memoirs of his experiences with Master Takata and the group of wisewomen--magiciennes--who influenced his spiritual growth • Reveals Jodorowsky turning the same unsparing spiritual vision seen in El Topo to his own spiritual quest • Shows how the author’s spiritual insight and progress was catalyzed repeatedly by wisewoman shamans and healers In 1970, John Lennon introduced to the world Alejandro Jodorowsky and the movie, El Topo, that he wrote, starred in, and directed. The movie and its author instantly became a counterculture icon. The New York Times said the film “demands to be seen,” and Newsweek called it “An Extraordinary Movie!” But that was only the beginning of the story and the controversy of El Topo, and the journey of its brilliant creator. His spiritual quest began with the Japanese master Ejo Takata, the man who introduced him to the practice of meditation, Zen Buddhism, and the wisdom of the koans. Yet in this autobiographical account of his spiritual journey, Jodorowsky reveals that it was a small group of wisewomen, far removed from the world of Buddhism, who initiated him and taught him how to put the wisdom he had learned from his master into practice. At the direction of Takata, Jodorowsky became a student of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, thus beginning a journey in which vital spiritual lessons were transmitted to him by various women who were masters of their particular crafts. These women included Doña Magdalena, who taught him “initiatic” or spiritual massage; the powerful Mexican actress known as La Tigresa (the “tigress”); and Reyna D’Assia, daughter of the famed spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff. Other important wisewomen on Jodorowsky’s spiritual path include María Sabina, the priestess of the sacred mushrooms; the healer Pachita; and the Chilean singer Violeta Parra. The teachings of these women enabled him to discard the emotional armor that was hindering his advancement on the path of spiritual awareness and enlightenment.
