Sinossi

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Sinclair Lewis, a controversial Nobel Laureate in Literature


First published in 1925, "Arrowsmith” is a novel by American author Sinclair Lewis that won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize (which Lewis declined with a scathing written response). The book was adapted by Hollywood as Arrowsmith in 1931.

“Arrowsmith” takes place in the fictional town of Elk Mills, Winnemac – the same fictional town and state that figure in several of Lewis's other novels. The novel follows the life of Martin Arrowsmith, a Midwestern physician. Disheartened successively by rural practice, the state of public health care, and the elitism of an urban clinic, Martin accepts a research position at an institute in New York that leads him, along with his wife, Leora, a nurse, to an epidemic-ravaged island...

"Arrowsmith” is often described as the first scientific novel considering it explores medical and scientific themes in a fictional way and it is difficult to think of an earlier book that does this.

    Helen's life is tedious. Maid to a rich but distant couple, she wishes for a little excitement in her life.
     
    But when the prodigal son returns, she gets more that she bargained for. Young Mr. Elliott has a taste for innocent young women—and a dominant and cruel personality. Helen finds herself submitting to his dark desires, and entering a world of pleasure—and of pain!
    
     
    ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~
     
    “How long have you worked here?’’
     
    “Two years, sir.’’
     
    “Very good. I trust you are a good maid, able to do as you are told?’’ Mr. Elliott asked and Helen felt his eyes on her, looking at her intently. She didn’t dare to lift her eyes, but she was sure that he was still sporting that little smile because she could hear it in his voice.
     
    Helen almost found herself wishing that young Mr. Elliott was more like his parents, cold and snobbish, because they always said what they meant. But young Mr. Elliott seemed to be talking in code, saying one thing with his voice implying another, expecting Helen to understand. Or maybe he wasn’t expecting Helen to understand and dropped in innuendos and insinuations for his own amusement.
     
    “I hope so, sir,’’ she said eventually, doing her best to act like she wasn’t affected by young Mr. Elliott’s games.
     
    “I’d like to see for myself.’’ Mr. Elliott paused and Helen waited with bated breath. “Fetch me some tea, Helen.’’
     
    It was a relief that his order turned out to be so common; Helen had almost expected something… Much less common. She didn’t really know what, but for a moment she had been convinced that he would say something that would make her stutter and blush wildly. Still, she felt herself get a little redder in the face because young Mr. Elliott had addressed her by her given name. It was more than a little bit embarrassing, swooning and blushing like this, but she had never met someone whose presence was so intense.

    Four more toe-curling tales of sexy young women being roughly taken by insatiable, hugely hung monsters.
    
    Volume 2 includes:
    “The Ultimate Sensation” – Pleasure-seeking heiress Jasmine is spending the summer living it up on the tropical island paradise of Vilau, whose jungles are said to be home to the Panlopa, a shockingly well-endowed Sasquatch-like monster-man. Jasmine scoffs at the stories, but when the natives decide to offer her up to the Panlopa to be its new mate, she soon learns how real the monster is…and she finally finds the ultimate pleasure she has long sought!
    “Caught” – Emmaline’s special bond with canines has always served her well in her job as Tucks Mills’ dog catcher. But that bond sends her life spinning in an unexpected new direction when she meets a handsome stranger who captivates her like no other man she’s ever met. What she doesn’t know is that he’s a werewolf on the hunt for just the right woman for him and his two packmates to mate with…and Emmaline is clearly the one! After catching the dog catcher in a trap of their own, the three virile, well-hung werewolves roughly have their way with her, one after another.
    “Intrusion” – Married scientists Monty and Nerissa think they’re about to make history with a new invention that offers glimpses of alternate dimensions. But during the device’s trial run, a hulking monster appears in the lab, and when it lays eyes on Nerissa, its only aim is to have its way with her. After his attempt to stop the alien intruder leaves him pinned beneath a piece of heavy equipment, Monty can only watch, helpless and horrified yet strangely aroused, as the hugely hung brute claims his wife…and in the process gives her pleasure light-years beyond anything she has ever felt with her nerdy husband.
    “Orced Raw” – After finding evidence of orc activity near the border of her forest homeland, Elara the elvish ranger sets out to investigate. When she recklessly gets too close to their lair, the petite warrior is captured and taken to their arena, where she learns that she has been chosen to become the tribe’s latest broodmare and must now face off against every healthy male orc of the tribe in a battle/mating ritual. In the process, it emerges that her hatred of the orcs masks other, more shameful feelings, and as the brawny, well-hung monsters overwhelm her and roughly have their way with her, she finds herself wracked with bliss the likes of which she has never felt before.

    Excerpt ~~~~~
    
    From "Ménage à
    Tentacle":
    
    One rambunctious tentacle
    wiggled its beak into her deep cleavage and she slapped it like a naughty
    child. "I said behave, you creep!" The tentacle retreated, beak
    downcast in an unmistakable sulk. "Ohhh, baby," she intoned. She took
    it in her hands and gently pried the beak open with her thumb. The tentative
    tongue reappeared. And with it, the slick pink head.
    
    I watched with a curious
    mixture of disgust and fascination as the tongue slithered into her mouth and
    gently probed her cheeks. She bit down on it playfully and giggled as it made a
    sound like a raspberry. The tongue retreated into the glistening slit on the
    pink head, which Thorn stroked with her satin thumbs and then kissed.
    Mollified, the head retreated into the beak and the tentacle rolled against her
    neck like a sleepy snake. "Grapla are psychoforms," she said.
    "You and I need material things to survive. Food, water, sunlight. Grapla
    resonate to life itself. They prefer raw emotions. Fear is particularly potent,
    which is why they make such effective partners."
    
    The Grapla took great pride
    in what she said. Its tentacles rose in a lethal chorus and trilled a dozen
    haunting tones that melted and faded and complemented each other. It was a
    stirring sound, accompanied by the hollow clacks of its deadly beaks opening
    and shutting like hungry birds.
    
    For a moment, the saloon went
    silent. Large men, cyborgs, and thuggish hybrids of all shapes and sizes,
    clutched their drinks in fear.
    
    The sound had its most
    visible effect on Thorn. Her cheeks flushed, her bosom lifted with unconcealed
    longing. She pulled two tentacles from the pack and let them drape across her
    chest. "But love is their life," she said. "They die quickly
    without companionship. They don't grow large in the wild. Some can get by
    scavenging at the fringes of population centers, but they need a mate to
    thrive. Someone who loves them unconditionally." She kissed the tops of
    her lover's heads.
    
    "Do you ever miss the
    touch of your own kind?" I asked.
    
    Another smirk. "I had
    plenty of lovers, men and women and otherwise, before I began my trial. There
    were skilled lovers, certainly, but even the greatest geishas on Rao's moons
    cannot compare to Strabo." The tentacles, excited by her praise, wriggled
    beneath her like a bouncing throne. She stroked a thick vein that throbbed
    beneath its skin. "No one has ever loved me longer, deeper, more
    completely. No lover has ever trusted me so fully or given me such respect. I
    am his wife, his mistress, his one and only. And he is my world."
