The first great American novel, albeit one written by a Frenchman. Chateaubriand's classic tale of Indian amours was, with Lewis' The Monk and Coleridge's opium dealer, the inspiration for all Romantic works to follow.
Amidst the ferment of pre-Revolution Russia appeared the beautiful woman who was to change history by bringing a decadent court to its knees. Beginning with her unleashing of Count Asinia's insatiable passion, through leather-costume balls at Mademoiselle Charmier's St. Petersburg Club, and on to aphrodisiacal gatherings at the palace of the Grand Duke Maxim, Princess Natasha exerted her indomitable will over others in an ever-varied version of "the agony and the ecstasy."
A study of female domination and sadomasochism as an upper-class businessman is enslaved and brutalized by a Parisian street-girl.
Translated from the original French edition, La Maitresse et l'Esclave.

shrieked the ugly man as he stared first at Jack Lennart, then the naked voluptuousness of the woman at his side, Marga. "So you're the ones who have led Lily into a life of sin and evil!" Magically there was a gun in his hand and as he leveled it the naked Marga lunged at him, her breasts swaying in tremors of hate. There was an explosion, and a passion-crazed scream... Here is the shock novel of the year - the truth about men who sell lust and the women who supply it. Bodies for a price as the Flesh Peddlers shout-
In an English boarding school where the curriculum is limited to the development of the girls' "personal charms," young Blanche is introduced to the delights of the Lesbian Society. She soon becomes the most apt of all the pupils and attracts the attention of the countess, who vows to make Blanches "as lascivious as I am... a girl who is very fast attracts men like honey draws flies."
Told in a series of letters.
In this relentlessly faithful reproduction of a privately published erotic classic, limited in the early 1930s to an edition of only 250 copies, self-made millionaire Joseph Calhoun, his supercharged sexuality galvanized by a photography of his cousin's young, obviously lust-hungry wife, decides to kidnap her, and--by means of carefully calculated carnality--including the amorously artful participation of his servant--Calhoun proceeds, in a series of searing episodes graphically described here, to subdue, seduce and subjugate Edith, so that, finally, she willingly--whimperingly--submits to his--and others'--every sexual whim.
After years of absence, Jennie has finally returned to the house in which she was raised. To her surprise, what she finds is not the innocent childhood home that she left, but a place replete with possibilities for pleasure. Variously coy and domineering, Jennie indulges in her most elaborate fancies. What ensues is a series of sexual excesses that Jennie never imagined would happen in her own home.
Many modern female writers are famous for their voluptuous style; their ungratified sex is expressed in such erotic art activity. The nun Hroswitha of Gandersheim (C. 940-1002) was the first known woman dramatist in German literature. She shows an out-spoken, sadistic-masochistic bent in her dreams, in their ample description of lustful, cruel and degrading scenes. It is apparent that the conception and description of the happenings must have colored the author's emotional life. Her legend,
The Passion and Martyrdom of St. Agnes the Virgin
takes place partly in a bawdy-house; the passion play,
St. Gongolf
treats the theme of cuckoldry and brings in flatulence as a scatological theme; her play The Passion of St. Pelagus
has the theme of pederasty. In the drama
Dulcitus
the three saintly virgins are to be publicly divested by Roman soldiers. In her
Sapientia,
Fides is whipped naked so that her limbs are rent asunder; the tormentors cut off her breasts, tie her to a red-hot grating and finally behead her. In other plays Hroswitha shows a great knowledge of the doings of the inmates of the brothels. In
The Resurrection of Drusia
her theme is necrophilism. We may assume that this literary nun expressed her pent-up sex, raising it to an excessive sadistic and masochistic degree. She thus appears as a female counterpart of de Sade, who during his long term in prison was to brood over and invent similar phantastic scenes without having experienced them in real life.
There was a strange craving in Jock Short that could only be resolved by homosexuality. It was a craving that brought him the deepest insights to love, brutality, pleasure and terror.
All good stories begin with fascinating characters, and this novel is replete with them. We have Gwen, nineteen, five feet two inches, voluptuous and gorgeous. Gwen is a budding journalist who will do anything to get a story - and the story she gets leads her far deeper into an awareness of herself and sexual experience than she ever planned to go. We have Dan, big and brawny, a young cop, who discovers in himself a love of Gwen so overpowering that it leads him to heights of heroism and to depths of human understanding. We have the shadowy Mr. Mason, a Las Vegas racketeer, whose shadow grows blacker and more vile with each succeeding revelation of his character. And then we have Cliff, a giant of a man who proves to have a gentle heart; Claudia, a whorehouse madame and a sadistic lesbian; and Bob, Gwen's understanding and intelligent journalistic employer.
When the young Julian Robinson, later the Viscount Ladywood, showed too much spunk as a lad, his parents shipped him off to a very select private school to learn discipline. Under the stern tutelage of Mademoiselle de Chambonnard, Master Julian was forced to undergo a series of rigorous lessons involving female domination and enforced cross-dressing.
Maurice, a married cashier, meets Lulu, a streetwalker. The sad sack falls in love with her. She, however, is in love with her boyfriend/pimp, Dédé. Together, Dédé and Lulu plot ways to get Maurice to give cash to Lulu, mostly at the behest of Dédé. The ending, at once tragic and comic, led to a classic film version (The Bitch, 1931, D. Jean Renoir).
To receive her inheritance, young Geraldine Ferguson must spend a week in the house that once lodged her doomed namesake, an early ancestor who'd take her own life rather than be separated from her true love. The spirit of her ancestor infests the living, and Geraldine herself discovers new patterns in love and ecstasy.
Cathy is young, beautiful, and a psychology instructor. Her primary ambition as the story opens is to write her thesis for her master's degree in psychology. When she inherits a cattle ranch in New Mexico, it appears at first as a golden opportunity. She does not need the income from the ranch, but believes the place will be a perfect setting in which to do her writing. Unfortunately, she turns out to be very wrong. Once she arrives, she encounters problems that sidetrack her from any attempt at writing. First of all, there is Juan, the foreman who is running the ranch capably and profitably. Juan is young and handsome, and Cathy is very much attracted to him. But even with her training in psychology, she still has an aversion to sex. She has never lost that guilty, shameful feeling it leaves with her after she has really enjoyed it so much. And each time the problem arises, the feeling grows more nagging and painful. However, Cathy finds it difficult to keep away from Juan....
Cathy's problem is the core of this excellent novel. Superficially, it would seem to have little to do with Women's Liberation. But it has everything to do with the liberation of a woman, and Cathy is exactly the kind of woman Margaret Adams is talking about. This, we feel, makes it a very important book to every reader who is concerned about the future of our society and the drastic way in which it is changing every day.

Poet John Glassco wrote a great many unusual and eccentric works during his career, and ranks among the finest Canadian authors of the 20th Century. This particular title, published under the pseudoym "Miles Underwood," has achieved status as a must-have in your BDSM library. It is the account of Harriet Marwood, summoned to tutor the son of a 19th Century Victorian businessman, Arthur Lovel, whose wife has died, in the proper way to conduct himself, and to quit what is wonderfully termed "self-effacing." Our Ms. Marwood soon takes over the house, leaving the businessman free to consort with Kate, his whore, and the boy, young Richard, at her mercy, where he most wants to be.
They Experience Intense Sexual Thrills!--Often Without Intercourse!--Here Is How--And Why--They Do It!
"They" are the millions of normal, sensual young men and women who find that the satisfaction afforded by "mere" sexual intercourse isn't good enough-- but who nevertheless reach rapturous, convulsive climax by some other sexual act. Among these highly sexed people are those, too, who both can and do enjoy intercourse--but only during or after the performance of some necessary "requirement" vital to their fulfillment. Here in their own unexpurgated words, a representative number of them reveal every detail of those techniques--among them, fellatio, cunnilingus, and the use of dildoes and electric aids--by which they are able to achieve astonishingly long and intense spasms of sexual ecstasy. On these pages, drawing from her vast file of actual case histories and geographically dramatizing them, renowned sexologist Dr. Gerda Mundinger recreates the most intimate and sensually gratifying moments of a select cross-section of "overly" sex men and women who--having left the path to carnal pleasure traveled by most of society--are too often condemned without being understood.
Harriet Daimler's (Iris Owens) second work for Olympia is the account of Adrian, a '50s heiress, neurotic and bed-ridden control fiend, who abuses her nurse Rose, lusts after her father, and despite her invalid state feels herself on top of things. From across the pond arrives Andre, a disinherited cousin, who has his own ideas and strategies... The title and plot for this work were suggested by John Coleman, author of The Enormous Bed.
