The Carnal Desires of Helen: The Adventurous Romance Romp of a Dirty Detective (Love and Lust Adventure Fiction Books for Couples)

The Carnal Desires of Helen: The Adventurous Romance Romp of a Dirty Detective (Love and Lust Adventure Fiction Books for Couples) Review



The Carnal Desires of Helen: The Adventurous Romance Romp of a Dirty Detective is a sexually provocative, controversial work of classic erotic literature. These previously banned (but secretly best selling) erotic novels and sex stories are elegantly written, lustfully wicked, and beautifully illustrated with vintage erotic art photographs and Victorian 'porn' pictures. Arouse and excite your sexual desires and fetish fantasies with these hot sexy tales of seduction, romance and lascivious lust!

From the book:

"Laura is my secretary. Her voice cannot help being confidential, rich, husky, issuing like an improper suggestion from her immaculately made-up lips. You must meet her some time. She'll make you wish you'd never been born.
Imagine a woman of five feet six inches. Her slow green eyes are laconic under smoky long-lashed eyelids. Imagine her with flame-red hair, cut short as an urchin's - a fashion amongst sophisticated women. Imagine a wind-blown appearance at her high cheek-bones. Imagine the sleek lines of a mature woman with the clean cut of a racehorse and legs longer and more perplexing than history. You like the smooth set of her hips? The sustained nervousness of her buttocks under her well-tailored skirts? Her breasts rising upwards from a long lean belly tapering to perfection at the waist? Stranger, you are on dangerous ground. Better retreat at once to your semi-detached respectability. She is not for you. Take it from me. I confess I went so far as to sleep with her. .."

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: EROTIC EVOLUTION E-BOOKS
(Publishers of Classic Erotic Literature and Love Stories - Fully Illustrated with Nude Art Photography)

Erotic Evolution publish quality erotic sex stories for Kindle eBooks. After reviewing several hundred famous romance and Victorian erotic novels (previous bestsellers and banned books) we have selected the best erotic sex stories based on the sexual content, character and story development, quality of erotic literature and types of sex scenes (they are clearly connected - sex is better when the stories and characters are 'real').
We publish provocative 'hardcore' sex in literature (previously classified as pornography and banned) simply because this reflects the truth of our sexual evolution - sex is central to our existence and connects back to our primitive wild animal instincts. We can creatively cultivate our sexuality to be moral and beautiful - but also hot, sexy and smutty - to make the most of our primitive passions of love and lust, pleasure and pain!
Reading quality erotic books cultivates the sexual side of our mind, enhances our sexual lust, and adds spice and variety to our sex lives, thus we think you will love our collection of sexually provocative erotic fiction and sex stories - in thought and action.

"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." (Friedrich Nietzsche)
"It is not enough to conquer; one must know how to seduce." (Voltaire)
"Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

The Carnal Desires of Helen: The Adventurous Romance Romp of a Dirty Detective is beautifully illustrated with provocatively sexual erotic art (for guys and girls) and has been carefully hand formatted for Kindle e-books (with linked table of contents).
We have also included three excellent essays on the biological and cultural evolution of human sexuality - how we can use this knowledge to enhance our sexual relations (i.e. the art and science of sizzling hot sex!).

The Birth (and Death) of the Cool

The Birth (and Death) of the Cool Review



“Describing 'cool' as a set of ;beliefs, values, and behavior patterns; rooted in the personal and musical styles of Bix Beiderbecke, Lester Young and Miles Davis (with a healthy dose of Bugs Bunny).”—Publishers Weekly

“Like Dim Sum for the intellectually curious and literary-minded, Gioia's chronicle of the birth and death of cool samples a variety of genres and disciplines.”—ForeWord Magazine

“A sign of the worth of Gioia´s book is that it is hard to summarize... Gioia has an extremely interesting thesis and, if he is correct, the impact of these changes will be very substantial in the entertainment industry, mass marketing, and consumer behaviour. Time will tell whether Gioia´s argument will bear out, until then it is well worth reading and keeping in mind.”—Jazz Times

It's hard to imagine that "the cool" could ever go out of style. After all, cool is style. Isn't it? And it may be harder to imagine a world where people no longer aspire to coolness. In this intriguing cultural history, nationally acclaimed author Ted Gioia shows why cool is not a timeless concept and how it has begun to lose meaning and fade into history. Gioia deftly argues that what became iconic in the 1950s with Miles Davis, James Dean, and others has been manipulated, stretched, and pushed to a breaking point—not just in our media, entertainment, and fashion industries, but also by corporations, political leaders, and social institutions. Tolling the death knell for the cool, this thought-provoking book reveals how and why a new cultural tone is emerging, one marked by sincerity, earnestness, and a quest for authenticity.

Ted Gioia has published six highly acclaimed books. Gioia's The History of Jazz was selected as one of the twenty best books of the year in The Washington Post and was a notable book of the year in The New York Times. He is also the author of Delta Blues, Work Songs, and West Coast Jazz. Visit him at www.tedgioia.com.

Bliss: A Novel

Bliss: A Novel Review



Fifteen-year-old Meryem lives in a rural village in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Her simple, conventional way of life changes dramatically after her uncle, a sheikh in a dervish order, rapes her--and condemns her to death for shaming the family. Asked to carry out the "honor killing" is his son Cemal, a commando in the Turkish army. So begins a long, mystifying voyage for Meryem as her shell-shocked cousin ushers her to the shining metropolis of Istanbul where another troubled soul, the Harvard-educated professor Irfan, embarks on his own journey of transformation--one that catapults him into the heart of Meryem and Cemal's conflict. The crossed-paths and interwoven destinies of these three characters makes for an affecting, by turns brutal and life-affirming portrayal of traditional and modern-day Turkey that no reader will soon forget.

Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director

Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director Review



From award-winning biographer Patrick McGilligan comes an eye-opening life of the troubled filmmaker behind Rebel Without a Cause

Nicholas Ray spent the glory years of his career creating films that were dark, emotionally charged, and haunted by social misfits and bruised young people consumed by private anguish—from his career-defining debut, They Live by Night (1948), to his enduring masterwork, Rebel Without a Cause (1955); from the noir thriller In a Lonely Place (1950), pairing his second wife, the blond bombshell Gloria Grahame, with Humphrey Bogart, to cult pictures like Johnny Guitar (1954) and Bigger Than Life (1956). Yet his work on-screen is more than matched by the passions and struggles of his personal story—one of the most dramatic lives of any major Hollywood filmmaker.

In Nicholas Ray: The Glorious Failure of an American Director, Patrick McGilligan offers a revelatory biography of Ray, a man whose troubled life was marked by creative peaks and valleys alike. As a young man, Ray personified the rambling spirit of twentieth-century America, learning from luminaries like Thornton Wilder and Frank Lloyd Wright; mingling with future legends like Elia Kazan, Joseph Losey, and John Houseman; and carousing with musicians like Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie. Notoriously self-destructive but irresistibly alluring—to men and women alike—Ray empathized with the broken and misunderstood, a talent that allowed him to create characters of true complexity on-screen.

His youthful association with radical politics nearly killed his nascent film career—until a secret agreement to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities saved him. His tumultuous second marriage, to Grahame, was shattered after Ray found her in bed with his teenage son from his first marriage. He romanced stars and starlets, including Marilyn Monroe, Shelley Winters, Joan Crawford, and the teenage Natalie Wood, but never enjoyed a stable home life.

The triumph of Rebel Without a Cause, his masterpiece of teenage angst, led to a burgeoning partnership with James Dean, but Dean’s untimely death devastated the filmmaker, who fell into a spiral of drinking and drug addiction. Less than a decade later, Ray’s career was effectively over . . . until the adoration of European critics, and a frantic last-ditch burst of creativity, nearly restored him to glory before his tragic early death in 1979.

Meticulously detailed and compulsively readable, this new biography reconstructs the tortuous journey of one of the most enduringly fascinating figures in American film.
