Book Description
What readers are saying about The Love Factory: 'The first time I've wanted to start re-reading a book from the moment I finished it' 'Like Sex and the City on acid' 'Anna [is] a heart-capturing protagonist' 'a warm, inclusive, big-hearted book' You can control want, but desire controls you When literary writer Anna falls on hard times, she tries her hand at erotic fiction to make money, and faces an uncomfortable truth. Though she's a wife and mother of two, her stories fail to fly because she's never experienced true sexual desire. Even her Sicilian grandmother - wearer of diamante sunglasses and knock-off Louis Vuitton - knows more than she does about real passion. Anna turns to her friends for inspiration. As secrets and desires are revealed, she discovers more about the people close to her than she ever knew. When one of them suggests she borrow an alter ego to banish her inhibitions, a new world opens up, and The Love Factory - a group of writers penning ever more successful sexy stories - is born. Yet Anna knows that she can't rely on borrowed passion and an alter ego forever. For her tales to truly sizzle, she needs to find a true love of her own.

The Curious History of Love
Author: Jean-Claude Kaufmann
Publisher: Polity
ISBN: 0745651542
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The one emotion that matters most to many people is the one about which social thinkers rarely speak - love. For many people, love is the thing that matters most in their lives: they are searching for love, hoping to find in love a kind of happiness that they cannot find in their work or by surrounding themselves with material goods. But where does this peculiar and powerful blending together of love and happiness come from, and why do we find it such a compelling idea today? In this short book Jean-Claude Kaufmann offers a fresh account of the history of a feeling unlike any other. The modern idea of love as passion was born in the 12th century but it was marginalized by the rise of a kind of instrumental, calculating reason that became increasingly central to modern societies. As calculating reason began to encroach on the personal domain, many individuals sought to escape from it, searching for happiness elsewhere. As our societies become dominated by calculating reason and selfish individualism, we search elsewhere for the kind of happy love that will heal all our wounds. This is why we experience so many changes of heart in our personal lives: at times we are coldly calculating and then, a few moments later, we sacrifice ourselves to love without a second thought. Written by one of France’s leading sociologists, this highly readable book sheds new light on love and happiness and will resonate with many readers.

What Goes Wrong with Mr. Right?
Author: Dr. Zolile Mlisana
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 147721786X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
I dedicate this work to the countless lives that have been broken or bewildered by love hurts. Many gave us a window into their shattered dreams, for your benefit. It is especially dedicated to those love hurts inflicted on children by parents, mentors and life coaches. These are hurts whose impacts have a malignant tendency to trickle down generations, with an ironic tendency to self-perpetuation. The book also seeks to encourage and provide tools for people who are still 'sticking it out'. The consequences of our teenage love games play themselves out in our adulthood. By that time it is often too late to reverse anything. The cycle can be broken. Hopefully this book will help young people think about the future of their own children when they are tempted to fool around during their own formative years. In some instances we have attempted to provide information and tools that will be essential for the therapist, counsellor or minister. There is a gentle mix of researched academic knowledge bundled with useful experiential anecdotes. For anyone who is searching for Mr or Miss Right, here is your road map whether you are the hunter or the hunted.

Cocaine Fiends and Reefer Madness
Author: Michael Starks
Publisher: Ronin Publishing
ISBN: 1579511899
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
From the very beginning, filmmakers have struggled to free themselves from censorship and manipulation by special-interest groups, and this struggle is clearly evident in the history of drug films. Cocaine Fiends and Reefer Madness is an exhaustive exploration of the history of the depiction of psychoactive drugs in motion pictures from Thomas Edison's Opium Smoker (1894) to Cocaine Cowboys (1978), Included are over 400 silent and 1,000 sound films as well as nearly 500 drug-abuse films, 85 experimental films, and 135 television programs. More than 150 stills, most never before published and many extremely rare, illustrate the text. Arranged chronologically as well as by drug type and often by country, this book shows that, far from being a recent phenomenon, drug films were made in nearly every country and period that produced a significant body of films. Visit Edison's first film studio, reflect on the filmic consequences of Cocteau's opium addiction with Kenneth Anger's early experiences with magic mushrooms, see Charles Laughton smuggling cocaine inside a statute of the Buddha, and watch Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., consuming vast quantities of opium and cocaine in a World War I Sherlock Holmes parody.
