Maria Isabel Pita
The Story of M: A Memoir

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn M., Maria Isabel Pita tells the truth about being a beautiful, intelligent and intensely sensual woman who refuses to fall into any politically correct category. She is not a feminist, and yet she is fiercely independent. She is everything but a mindless sex object, yet she is willingly, and happily, a masterful man?s love slave. M is erotically submissive and yet also profoundly secure in her own being, and she wrote this account of her ascent into submission for all the women out there who might be confused and frightened by their own contradictory desires just as she was. M is the true story of the author?s first shockingly kinky and profoundly instructive year with the man of her dreams. Her vividly detailed story makes it clear we should never feel guilty about daring to make our deepest, darkest longings come true, and serves as living proof that they do. [detailed...]

Helen Keller
The Story of My Life

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: *The Story of My Life* may be the most extraordinary autobiography ever written. Its author was only 22 when it was published, in 1903, but her life to that point had already been most uncommon: she had been rendered deaf, blind, and later mute by an illness at the age of 19 months, and only years later learned to read, speak, and understand others through the dedication of a teacher extraordinary in her own right. American author and activist HELEN ADAMS KELLER (1880-1968) became famous thanks to *The Story of My Life,* which was later adapted for stage and screen in various incarnations under the title *The Miracle Worker,* a reference to that special teacher, Annie Sullivan. Here, in her own words, is Keller`s firsthand experience of the dawning of enlightenment on the severely isolated child she was, and her evolution into the educated and erudite young woman she became.

But war came, and Red Eye could not escape it.

The boy, who had grown up and gone to war, too, found Red Eye wounded and scared but could not help him and had to leave him in the care of a young girl. She came to love Red Eye as the boy had. When danger threatened her family, she asked Red Eye to do the impossible and he gave her everything he had. No one who met Red Eye ever was the same. All of them came to love him.

Yet her multivolume novels were popular bestsellers in her time, translated almost immediately into English, German, Italian, Spanish, and even Arabic. The Story of Sapho makes available for the first time in modern English a self-contained section from Scudery`s novel Artamene ou le Grand Cyrus , best known today as the favored reading material of the would-be salonnieres that Moliere satirized in Les precieuses ridicules . The Story tells of Sapho, a woman writer modeled on the Greek Sappho, who deems marriage slavery. Interspersed in the love story of Sapho and Phaon are a series of conversations like those that took place in Scudery`s own salon in which Sapho and her circle discuss the nature of… [detailed...]
