Sinopse

In "Woman and Puppet, Etc," Pierre Louÿs delves into the intricacies of desire and obsession, intertwining themes of love and manipulation within a richly textured narrative. The novella is distinguished by its lyrical prose, showcasing Louÿs's mastery of symbolism and sensuality, which invite readers to explore the psyche of its protagonist as he grapples with his infatuation for the elusive and enchanting puppet-woman. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century fin de siècle Paris, this work captures the decadence and complexity of an era obsessed with artifice and eroticism, positioning it within the broader literary movement of Symbolism and the emerging realms of Modernism. Pierre Louÿs was a pivotal figure in the literary circles of his time, known for his fascination with the female form and the subtleties of eroticism. His travels and engagement with classical literature and art informed his explorations of gender dynamics and the male gaze. Louÿs's background in philosophy and his friendships with contemporaneous literary giants underscore the intellectual rigor behind his provocative themes in "Woman and Puppet, Etc." This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersections of love, art, and obsession, offering profound insights into the human condition. Readers will find themselves captivated by Louÿs's ability to render the intricate dance of desire, elevating this novella to a timeless exploration of the complexities of beauty and illusion.

    She’s no princess. He’s no prince. Then again, they never wanted a fairy tale.  Legally Bound, Book 2  Cassie Allbright takes no prisoners. A half Cuban ball-busting attorney, she’s too tough to admit what she wants in bed. But tough is the only way to cut it in her high-powered firm, and Cassie doesn’t need a knight in shining armor. And she definitely doesn’t need Patrick Dunham—an arrogant, chauvinistic man-whore with a knack for pissing her off.  Bound to the helm of his family’s publishing house, Patrick is shackled to a life of power and wealth he never wanted. Seduction is his only distraction—his nights of pleasure always temporary, because happily-ever-afters are not for him. But while luring a woman into his bed has always come easy, the high-and-mighty Cassie has never succumbed to his charms.  Their verbal sparring turns to foreplay, but instead of scratching an itch, it only whets their appetites. Patrick gives Cassie a taste of what she’s secretly craved, and Cassie’s dark desires stir up things Patrick never knew he wanted. Enchanted, he offers to fulfill her most dangerous fantasies. She agrees, with an iron-clad escape clause: her heart is off-limits, and so is his.  Funny thing about hearts, though. They have a way of ignoring the fine print.  Warning: This book isn’t for the faint of heart. Disclosure includes angry, vying-for-control hate sex and one steamy weekend in Miami. Ready? Break the caution tape and proceed.
