› Find signed collectible books: 'The Banquet'Book summary:Witty, sexy and radiantly beautiful, the Shelley translation of Plato's great Dialogue on Love, The Banquet (or The Symposium) is by far the best in the English language. It has been described as conveying much of the vivid life, the grace of movement, and the luminous beauty of Plato -- the poetry of a philosopher rendered by the prose of a poet. Although a masterpiece in its own right, the translation was suppressed and then bowdlerized for well over a century. In 19th century Britain, male love at the heart of the dialogue was unmentionable. The Banquet and Shelley's accompanying essay, A Discourse on the Manners of the Antient Greeks, were not published in their entirety until 1931, and then in an edition of 100 copies intended for private circulation only. For many years, the Shelley translation has been unobtainable, new or used. Pagan Press now offers a new edition, which is complete and authentic. In terms of both typography and editing, it is the most readable edition ever published. [via]

Eros: The Bittersweetby Anne CarsonISBN 1564781887 (1-56478-188-7)
Softcover, Dalkey Archive Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Eros: The Bittersweet'Book summary:Anne Carson has become one of the best-known poets of our time, but her first book, Eros the Bittersweet, was deeply rooted in her other life, as a scholar and professor of classics at McGill University. Eros the Bittersweet is a multi-layered essay that is in part an explication of the Greek philosophical concepts of "eros" and "agape" as they are found in 7th-century BC Greek poetry, but it's also a scintillating study of the way we use language, how we react to language in poetry, how writers write and readers read. It's sleek and sensuous, with the rich, ripe language that we have come to expect from Carson's poetry.
Beginning by guiding readers through a discussion of the poet Sappho's definition of "eros" as bittersweet, Carson soon moves toward the heart of her book: the connection between love and knowledge. The act of reading, like the act of loving, is one of coming to know, and Carson argues that the novelist who constructs a literary "moment of emotional and cognitive interception is making love, and you are the object of his wooing." Eros the Bittersweet is as provocative as it is arresting, and it is a marvellous place to begin to know and love Anne Carson. --Jeffrey Canton [via]

The scope of his inquiry ranges from Emily Bronte to Sade, from St. Therese to Claude Levi-Strauss and Dr. Kinsey; and the subjects he covers include prostitution, mythical ecstasy, cruelty, and organized war. Investigating desire prior to and extending beyond the realm of sexuality, he argues that eroticism is "a psychological quest not alien to death.

The Four Loves: Featuring the Vintage Recordings of the voice of C. S. Lewisby C. S. LewisISBN 0156329301 (0-15-632930-1)
Softcover, Harcourt
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Four Loves: Featuring the Vintage Recordings of the voice of C. S. Lewis'Book summary:The Four Loves summarizes four kinds of human love--affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God. Masterful without being magisterial, this book's wise, gentle, candid reflections on the virtues and dangers of love draw on sources from Jane Austen to St. Augustine. The chapter on charity (love of God) may be the best thing Lewis ever wrote about Christianity. Consider his reflection on Augustine's teaching that one must love only God, because only God is eternal, and all earthly love will someday pass away:
Who could conceivably begin to love God on such a prudential ground--because the security (so to speak) is better? Who could even include it among the grounds for loving? Would you choose a wife or a Friend--if it comes to that, would you choose a dog--in this spirit? One must be outside the world of love, of all loves, before one thus calculates.
His description of Christianity here is no less forceful and opinionated than in Mere Christianity or The Problem of Pain, but it is far less anxious about its reader's response--and therefore more persuasive than any of his apologetics. When he begins to describe the nature of faith, Lewis writes: "Take it as one man's reverie, almost one man's myth. If anything in it is useful to you, use it; if anything is not, never give it a second thought." --Michael Joseph Gross [via]More editions of The Four Loves: Featuring the Vintage Recordings of the voice of C.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Masochism: Coldness and Cruelty'Book summary:In his stunning essay, Coldness and Cruelty, Gilles Deleuze provides a rigorous and informed philosophical examination of the work of the late 19th-century German novelist Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Deleuze's essay, certainly the most profound study yet produced on the relations between sadism and masochism, seeks to develop and explain Masoch's "peculiar way of 'desexualizing' love while at the same time sexualizing the entire history of humanity." He shows that masochism is something far more subtle and complex than the enjoyment of pain, that masochism has nothing to do with sadism; their worlds do not communicate, just as the genius of those who created themMasoch and Sadelie stylistically, philosophically, and politically poles a part.
Venus in Furs, the most famous of all of Masoch's novels, was written in 1870 and belongs to an unfinished cycle of works that Masoch entitled The Heritage of Cain. The cycle was to treat a series of themes including love, war, and death. The present work is about love. Although the entire constellation of symbols that has come to characterize the masochistic syndrome can be found herefetishes, whips, disguises, fur-clad women, contracts, humiliations, punishment, and always the volatile presence of a terrible coldnessthese do not eclipse the singular power of Masoch's eroticism.

La photographe ne recherche ni la photographie d'art, ni la provocation. Cette somme d'autoportraits érotiques illustre autant de rencontres et d'états qu'elle a souhaité explorer. D'aucuns parleront de voyeurisme, d'autres d'une forme d'introspection peu banale.

Un travail photographique hors du commun qui, s'il avait existé à une autre époque, se serait sans nul doute attiré les foudres de la censure.

Softcover, Creation Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Philosophy in the Boudoir'Book summary:This new Creation Books edition couples this erotic masterpiece with The Lusts of the Libertines, a document taken from 120 Days of Sodom, in which de Sade's depraved imagination is given free reign to catalogue 447 of the wildest depravities and atrocities he can conceive, from incest and coprophilia through to mutilation, torture and bloody murder. Originally intended to be fleshed out later, their reduction to numbered lists seems to render them even more intense and confrontational.
Philosophy of the Boudoir is perhaps the most representative text out of all the Marquis de Sade's works. In the boudoir of a sequestered country house, a young virgin is ruthlessly schooled in the ways of sexual perversion, fornication, murder, incest and complete self-gratification which culminates with the final and most shocking act of liberation carried out on her own mother.
Within these pages lies de Sade's notorious doctrine of libertinage expounded in full and coupled with liberal doses of savage, unbridled eroticism, cruelty and violent sexuality. [via]

Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:One of the greatest works of philosophy, political theory, and literature ever produced, Platos Republic has shaped Western thought for thousands of years, and remains as relevant today as when it was written during the fourth century B.C.
Republic begins by posing a central question: "What is justice, and why should we be just, especially when the wicked often seem happier and more successful?" For Plato, the answer lies with the ways people, groups, and institutions organize and behave. A brilliant inquiry into the problems of constructing the perfect state, and the roles education, the arts, family, and religion should play in our lives, Republic employs picturesque settings, sharply outlined characters, and conversational dialogue to drive home the philosophers often provocative arguments.
It has been said that the entire history of Western philosophy consists of nothing more than "a series of footnotes to Plato." Vastly entertaining, occasionally shocking, and always stimulating, Republic continues to enrich and expand the outlook of all who read it.Elizabeth Watson Scharffenberger holds degrees from the University of Chicago and Columbia University. A specialist in the culture and literature of Athens during the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., she teaches at Columbia University and New York Universitys Gallatin School.

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance'Book summary:Round-heeled is an old-fashioned label for a woman who is promiscuoussomeone who nowadays might be called easy. Its a surprising way for a cultured English teacher with a passion for the novels of Anthony Trollope to describe herself, but then thats just the first of many surprises to be found in this poignant, funny, utterly unique memoir. Jane Juska is a smart, energetic divorcée who decided shed been celibate too long, and placed the following personal ad in her favorite newspaper, The New York Review of Books:
Before I turn 67next MarchI would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me.
This closing reference was a nod to her favorite author, of course. The response was overwhelming, and Juska took a sabbatical from teaching to meet some of the men who had replied. And since her ad made it clear that she wasnt expecting just hand-holding, her dates zipped from first base to home plate in record time.
Juska is a totally engaging, perceptive writer, funny and frank about her exploits. Its high time someone revealed the fact that older single people are as eager for sex and intimacy as their younger counterparts.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Symposium & Death of Socrates'Book summary:In Symposium, a group of Athenian aristocrats attend a party and talk about love, until the drunken Alcibiades bursts in and decides to discuss Socrates instead. Symposium gives an unsurpassed picture of the sparkling society that was Athens at the height of her empire. The setting of the other dialogues is more sombre. Socrates is put on trial for impiety, and sentenced to death. Euthyphro discusses the nature of piety, Apology is Socrates' speech in his own defence, Crito explains his refusal to escape punishment, and Phaedo gives an account of Socrates' last day. These dialogues have never been offered in one volume before. Tom Griffith's Symposium has been described as 'possibly the finest translation of any Platonic dialogue'. All the other translations are new. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Symposium of Plato: The Shelley Translation'Book summary:In the summer of 1818, Percy Bysshe Shelley pulled himself away from a flurry of other projects to devote himself to translating Plato's Symposium. Besides being one of the very great lyric poets of Romanticism, Shelley was an accomplished Hellenist, and had a natural sympathy for Plato's way of seeing the world. The result of his labor was a translation of Plato's principal work on love that is, in both clarity and felicity of expression, unmatched by any contemporary translation.
Much of what the dialogue offers to today's reader - namely, its invitation to see erotic experience as the privileged locus of our contact with the sacred and the divine - is lost in translation by failures of tone more than by inaccuracies or simple infelicities. The elevation and sophistication of Shelley's prose makes his translation a much better English vehicle for Plato's writing than the rather chatty and colloquial translations current today. Plato's speeches on love need an English idiom in which myth is at home, and in which humor rises to urbanity rather than descending to mere wit and joke. With Shelley, we get a translation of a great literary masterpiece by a writer who is himself a literary master, and his mastery is of exactly the type required by Plato's text.
This translation came at the height of Shelley's powers, mirroring in language and conception some of his finest works, and so is itself a precious document in the history of Romanticism, for which the reappropriation of Plato is second in importance only to the massive influence of Shakespeare. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, her husband's literary executor, upon publication of (a somewhat expurgated version of) the dialogue, boasted that "Shelley resembled Plato; both taking more delight in the abstract and the ideal than in the special and the tangible. This did not result from imitation; for it was not till Shelley resided in Italy that he made Plato his study. He then translated his Symposium and Ion; and the English language boasts of no more brilliant composition than Plato's Praise of Love translated by Shelley." If this goes too far, it goes at least in the right direction. [via]

El BanqueteISBN 8420636622 (84-206-3662-2)
Softcover, Alianza Editorial Sa
Find This BookBook summary:La narración se sitúa en el banquete organizado por el poeta trágico Agatón para celebrar su victoria en las fiestas Leneas del 416 a. C. Tras la comida Erixímaco propone pasar el tiempo en mutuos discursos y a debatir un tema que Fedro ha tenido en mente. Erixímaco pide que cada uno de los invitados improvise un elogio a Eros pues, según comentarios de Fedro, siendo éste dios uno de los más importantes, rara vez es encomiado como mereciera.
Es entonces el propio Fedro el que comienza la serie, con un encendido elogio del amor, Eros, al que considera el más antiguo y admirable de los dioses. Tras él, el sofista Pausanias habla de la doble naturaleza del amor, distinguiendo entre uno vulgar y otro que aspira a lo bello y lo bueno. Erixímaco, el tercero en hablar, propone una visión algo más científica, entendiendo el amor como un principio fundamental que, junto al odio, domina a la naturaleza y al hombre.
Sigue entonces el discurso de Aristófanes, al que se debe sin duda gran parte de la fama de la que goza el Banquete. En él se introduce un mito según el cual hubo un tiempo en que la tierra estaba habitada por personas esféricas con dos caras, cuatro piernas y cuatro brazos. Tres sexos existían entonces: el masculino, descendiente del sol, el femenino, descendiente de la tierra y el andrógino, descendiente de la luna, que participaba en ambos. La arrogancia de estos seres provocó la ira de Zeus que para someterlos los dividió con su rayo, convirtiéndolos en seres incompletos y condenándolos a anhelar siempre la unión con su mitad perdida. De este mito viene la expresión "media naranja".
Tras el discurso de Aristófanes el turno llega a Agatón y después a Sócrates, que comienza con un irónico exordio en el que advierte de que no elogiará a Eros faltando a la verdad sobre él sino que contará lo que sabe del amor sin callar lo que no sea hermoso. Sócrates explica que fue instruido en asuntos amorosos por Diotima, una sabia mujer de Mantinea cuya veracidad histórica no ha sido aclarada. El concepto central de estas enseñanzas es la sublimación del amor, proceso por el cual el amor a un cuerpo bello ha de conducirnos a amar todos los cuerpos bellos y tras ello al amor de todas las cosas bellas y de la Belleza en sí que, para Sócrates y Platón, que habla a través de él, resulta idéntica a lo Bueno.
El diálogo se cierra con la bulliciosa entrada de un ebrio Alcibíades en la celebración. Éste elogia entonces la figura misma de Sócrates, alabando su templanza y su apego a la verdad, a cuya búsqueda vive consagrado. De esta forma se muestra al lector cómo el propio Sócrates es la encarnación perfecta de los preceptos que él mismo expuso en su discurso. Como ejemplo, Alcibíades nos narra cómo, a pesar de que entonces toda Atenas reconocía su belleza física, Sócrates rehusó el trato sexual con él.

LA RepublicaISBN 8420636738 (84-206-3673-8)
Softcover, Alianza Editorial Sa
Find This BookBook summary:En el período que transcurrió desde su infancia hasta su muerte, PLATÓN (ca. 428-ca. 347 a.C.) conoció la decadencia de la grandeza ateniense, jalonada por numerosos y señalados episodios históricos que, junto con su reiterado fracaso político en Siracusa, influyeron poderosamente tanto en su actividad política como en su trabajo intelectual. LA REPÚBLICA presenta el modelo de ciudad donde domina la justicia frente al desorden, (*CR*)la confusión y la perversión; sin embargo, como señala Manuel Fernández-Galiano en la introducción al volumen, el diálogo no apunta a la construcción ideal de una sociedad perfecta de hombres perfectos, sino que es un «tratado de medicina política» con aplicación a los regímenes existentes en su tiempo.

En quatre chapitres le nombre, l'espace, l'espace replié et détails, soit la multiplication des aventures, d'une partouze à l'autre, les relations à l'emporte-pièce, les lieux et le corps apprécié dans ses coins et recoins , Catherine se livre volontiers et sans fard à toutes les confessions, baisant "comme elle respire". Nulle chronologie, nulle construction véritable dans ce récit débridé conduit tout entier à la première personne.
La quatrième de couverture parle de tradition érotique et de littérature française. Soit. La Vie sexuelle de Catherine M. n'est pourtant pas un texte érotique mais plutôt pornographique. Il a encore moins partie liée avec la littérature. Mais l'Suvre signée par la directrice d'Art Press a cependant un avantage : les vingt premières pages sont égales aux deux cents qui suivent. Le lecteur pourra toujours consommer sur le pouce. Il n'y perdra rien. --Céline Darner [via]
