After the pleasure comes the pain. The Sexual Life of Catherine M, Catherine Millet's analysis of the many forms and flavours of sexual pleasure, was internationally admired, and not just for its literary qualities. The audacity of a sex life well lived and thoroughly examined left readers wondering how she managed to pull it off while sustaining her relationship with life partner, writer Jacques Henric. 'I had love at home' she explained. 'I sought only pleasure in the world outside'.Then one day she discovered a letter lying about the apartment, from which it became clear that Jacques was involved elsewhere. Jealousy details the crisis provoked by this discovery and her reaction to it. If The Sexual Life of Catherine M seemed to disregard emotion, Jealousy is its radical complement: the paradoxical confession of a libertine, who succumbs to the 'timeless and universal malady'.
Los misterios del deseo femenino. Catherine Millet aborda la vida y obra de D. H. Lawrence. Catherine Millet, autora de la escandalosa La vida sexual de Catherine M., se adentra en la obra de D. H. Lawrence, autor de las en su día escandalosas Mujeres enamoradas y El amante de Lady Chatterley. ¿Por qué Lawrence? Porque el escritor británico exploró como pocos el tema del deseo femenino, cuestionó la moral de su época y fue un literato transgresor. He aquí el nexo de unión con la autora francesa y el porqué de su interés en él y su obra. Millet ha dedicado dos años a leer no solo las novelas de Lawrence sino también su poesía, sus relatos y su epistolario. Y ha analizado las varias biografías escritas sobre el personaje y los testimonios de diversas mujeres que estuvieron relacionadas con él. El estudio en profundidad de todo este material le ha servido para abordar la visión de la sexualidad del escritor, su vida como utopista y nómada, sus exploraciones de lo prohibido, su ideario político y las relaciones amorosas que mantuvo a lo largo de su vida. El resultado es una visión nueva de Lawrence que desmonta viejos tópicos. Pero, al indagar en la vida del británico, Millet acaba hablando también de sí misma, y el libro se convierte en una estimulante mezcla de ensayo y autobiografía en la que confluyen dos autores –la estudiosa y el estudiado– separados por el tiempo, pero unidos por el interés en explorar los misterios del deseo femenino.
From Lonely Planet, the world's leading travel guide publisher, Better Than Fiction 2, the follow-up to 2012's Better Than Fiction, is a second serving of true travel stories told by some of the world's best fiction writers including Dave Eggers, Jane Smiley and Karen Joy Fowler. Varied in place, plot and voice, these are stirring and evocative pieces that all share one common characteristic-they manifest a passion for the precious gift of travel, from its unexpected but inevitably enriching lessons about other peoples and places, to the truths, sometimes uncomfortable but always enlarging, it reveals about ourselves. By turns comic, dramatic, and moving - from Francine Prose's confrontation of the mysteries of India to DBC Pierre's search for Hemingway's muse in Italy - these 30 short tales reveal the joys, perils, and surprises of travel, and that truth can often be stranger (and better) than fiction. Whether on a plane en route to your own travel adventure, or at home settling in for a vicarious experience of world adventures, embark on this literary journey around the world and explore your passion for travel now!
