Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amorous jealousy is not a monster, as Shakespeare's venomous Iago claims. It is neither prickly and bitter fancy nor a cruel and mean passion, nor yet a symptom of feeble self-esteem. All those who have experienced its wounds are well aware that it is not callous, nasty, delusional and ridiculous. It is just painful. Yet for centuries moralists have poured scorn and contempt on a feeling that, in their view, we should fight in every possible way. It is allegedly a disease to be treated, a moral vice to be eradicated, an ugly, pre-modern, illiberal, proprietary emotion to be overcome. Above all, no one should ever admit to being jealous. So should we silence this embarrassing sentiment? Or should we, like the heroines of Greek tragedy, see it as a fundamental human demand for reciprocity in love? By examining its cultural history from the ancient Greeks to La Rochefoucauld, Hobbes, Kant, Stendhal, Freud, Beauvoir, Sartre and Lacan, this book demonstrates how jealousy, far from being a 'green-eyed' fiend, reveals the intense and apprehensive nature of all erotic love, which is the desire to be desired. We should never be ashamed to love.

Book excerpt: Falling in love with your boss is never a good idea. And if you're a lesbian and she's straight - that's double trouble right there. When Kim and her very attractive, straight, and married boss Sonja find themselves having to share a hotel room at an out-of-town conference, one thing leads to another. But after one night of forbidden passion Sonja almost cruelly tells Kim they're finished. Sonja's emotional and physical distance is a torment to Kim. And aside from the obsessiveness of being in love, there are more questions: What is really going on in Sonja's marriage? Is Sonja who Kim really thinks she is, after all? And - what are the chances that love will prevail?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reflective volume of essays on literature and literary study from a storied professor. In The Pensive Citadel, Victor Brombert looks back on a lifetime of learning within a university world greatly altered since he entered Yale on the GI Bill in the 1940s. Yet for all that has changed, much of Brombert’s long experience as a reader and teacher is richly familiar: the rewards of rereading, the joy of learning from students, and most of all the insight to be found in engaging works of literature. The essays gathered here range from meditations on laughter and jealousy to new appreciations of Brombert’s lifelong companions Shakespeare, Montaigne, Voltaire, and Stendhal. A veteran of D-day and the Battle of the Bulge who witnessed history’s worst nightmares firsthand, Brombert nevertheless approaches literature with a lightness of spirit, making the case for intellectual mobility and openness to change. The Pensive Citadel is a celebration of a life lived in literary study, and of what can be learned from attending to the works that form one’s cultural heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the heart of dark passions and the crimes they impel. When passion is in the picture, what is criminal, what is sane, what is mad or simply bad? Through court and asylum records, letters and newspaper accounts, this book brings to life some sensational trials between 1870 and 1914, a period when the psychiatric professions were consolidating their hold on our understanding of what is human. Outside fiction, individual emotions and the inner life had rarely been publicly discussed: now, in an increasingly popular press and its courtroom reports, people avidly consumed accounts of transgressive sexuality, savage jealousy and forbidden desires. These stood revealed as aspects not only of those labelled mad, but potentially, of everyone. With great story-telling flair and a wealth of historical detail, Lisa Appignanesi teases out the vagaries of passion and the clashes between the law and the clinic as they stumble towards a (sometimes reviled) collaboration. Sexual etiquette and class roles, attitudes to love, madness and gender, notions of respectability and honor, insanity and lunacy, all are at play in that vital forum in which public opinion is shaped—the theater of the courtroom.

Book excerpt: A forbidden passion From the moment Jake, a Marine, laid eyes on Katherine, he wanted her for himself. But the person who was supposed to be his best friend had betrayed him and won her before Jake had had a chance to make his move. Being honourable, he had backed off from the only woman who had ever managed to arouse deep feelings in him and left town to embark on an official mission in Afghanistan. Katherine was living the perfect life. She was a good daughter, a respected member of the high society of Raleigh, North Carolina and a volunteer at an animal shelter. She was also the girlfriend of Josh Macgregor, the candidate for Congressman. But this was all a lie. What Katherine really wanted was to go wild, to get a tattoo, go out drinking and have fun but, more than that, she yearned to act on the forbidden passion she felt for Jake. Will Katherine and Jake have the courage to break free from the chains that bind them and succumb to the forbidden passion they feel for each other? Will they be able to stand up to society, to the power games and the bitter envy of an unscrupulous man? Translator: A. C. Meyer PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book excerpt: Devora Rappaport is an observant Jewish professional woman with everything going for her. But in the one thing that matters to her the most, she cannot find a husband. Finally, she meets David Cohen, an observant Jewish professional man, and they start dating, and they get engaged. Though they love each other and appear to be the perfect match for each other, there is one thing standing in the way: David is Sephardic, and Devora is Ashkenazi. They are not bothered by their different ethnicities; will their families feel the same way? Forbidden Love is a moving story about love, friendship, and family. It is about people learning that what they have in common far outweighs any differences they may have.
