Book SynopsisA well-researched work of fiction from bestselling author Barbara Hand Clow • From the bestselling author of The Pleiadian Agenda (98,000 copies sold) and The Mayan Code (57,000 copies sold) Shortly after his wedding at his family’s ancient castle in Tuscany, sophisticated and mysterious Armando Pierleoni reveals his richly symbolic painting of the love between Jesus and Mary Magdalene to his bride Jennifer. Deeply affecting all who view it, the alchemical portrayal leads Armando, Jennifer, and their friends on a contemporary journey into the esoteric mysteries of divine marriage, sacred sexuality, the Black Madonna, and the transformative power of holy relics. The group of friends--Jennifer’s journalist brother Simon, his mystical wife Sarah, Jungian analyst Lorenzo, exotically beautiful and insightful Claudia, and Armando and Jennifer--discover past-life connections and the power of sacred sex as a path to the divine. They explore how the Knights Templar collected the bones of the Jesus family from the Talpiot tomb in Jerusalem and eventually placed them in reliquaries throughout the world--including within the Medici Chapel in Florence and in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. When Armando’s magical painting of Jesus and Mary Magdalene goes on display in the Medici Chapel and is viewed by thousands, the painting’s power coalesces with Aquarian vibrations to trigger a mass kundalini rising within the Chapel, activating the sacred bones in the reliquaries. The activated bones enable the Light to flow into the world, awakening Christ Consciousness around the globe.Trade Review“This fascinating novel illustrates the connection between Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and the hidden secrets of a bloodline that would threaten the very existence of conventional Christianity. It is riveting, and it helps explain many uncertainties about world religions and even our own government. A must-read . . .” * Nicki Scully, author of Sekhmet: Transformation in the Belly of the Goddess *“. . . a cosmic journey and the story of the hidden history of humanity whose wisdom secrets have been repressed by the patriarchy to keep humanity from realizing its spiritual potential. Barbara Hand Clow opens the door to understanding the importance of the Divine Feminine to heal our world and why the wisdom once taught by Jesus and Mary Magdalene, which was repressed by the Church for over 2000 years, is so crucial to the time we are living in now.” * Tricia McCannon author of Return of the Divine Sophia *“A novel bound to enthrall those who were captivated by The Da Vinci Code. Well written and full of mystery.” * Graham Phillips, author of The Chalice of Magdalene *“An extraordinary new offering from one of the world’s top visionary writers. Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a beautiful blend of wisdom and drama played out by a compelling cast of characters. A must-have for anyone seeking answers to the most profound sacred mysteries regarding humanity’s divine cosmic origins.” * Andrew Collins, author of Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods and The Cygnus Key *“Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a roller coaster of mystical downloads cleverly wrapped up as a well-researched work of fiction. I absolutely love the author’s methodology of getting these ripe jewels into as many hands as is worldly possible. Blessings upon you, Barbara Hand Clow.” * Anaiya Sophia, author of Sacred Sexual Union *“Barbara Hand Clow is a modern-day shamanic storyteller. The energy layered within her fictional work is all-seeing. She is indeed one of those very rare individuals with the ability to enlighten those who seek an alternative answer to the evil that currently envelops our world. Revelations of the Aquarian Age gives the reader the eyes to see what is hidden in plain sight. Her research, historical insight, multidimensional layering of detail and character development takes my breath away. Above all else, her novel’s underlying message--that universal love and compassion will triumph over evil--is a celebration of the human spirit.” * William F. Mann, author of Templar Sanctuaries of North America *“Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a novel brimming with spiritual insights and ‘heretical’ lore, whose plot weaves around a modern alchemical painting of Jesus and the Magdalene. The author deftly uses the surfacing of secrets guarded by two ancient Italian families--the Medicis and Pierleonis--to stage what is in effect a plausible scenario for the real start of the Age of Aquarius: Christ’s Second Coming.” * Tuvia Fogel, author of The Jerusalem Parchment *“This book takes the reader into an unseen world of intrigue, mystery, and other dimensions. Recent historical discoveries exposing the motives behind the manipulation of facts by organized religion are brought to light as the world moves into the Aquarian Age. I’m looking forward to reading the next one! Another must-read by this enormously gifted author.” * Sylvia Claire, CHt, LBLt, certified practitioner of Life Between Lives Therapy® *"There are many delightful aspects to each of the characters, revealed as they are led through their esoteric encounters and adventures. The events of the book are set against the dire events occurring in the world at that time, particularly the horrific perpetrations of ISIS. None the less, I found reading this book engendered hope and inspiration as I was swept into the power of sacred sexuality embraced by Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I found reading it offered me an oasis from the surrounding Covid 19 pandemic and the human darkness revealed in today’s world. May the Age of Aquarius bring us all the healing Barbara Hand-Clow envisions." * Tannis Hugill, M.A. in Somatic Psychology and registered B.C.

Published by William Lazenby, a prominent printer of Victorian erotica, The Sins of the Cities of the Plain is considered to be one of the first works of literature dedicated to homosexuality in the English language. “‘Saul, Jack Saul, sir, of Lisle Street, Leicester Square, and ready for a lark with a free gentleman at any time. What was it made you take a fancy to me? Did you observe any particularly interesting points about your humble servant?’ as he slyly looked down towards the prominent part I have previously mentioned.” Having met by chance at Leicester Square, Jack Saul, a successful prostitute—colloquially known as a “Mary-Ann” or “rentboy”—agrees to accompany Mr. Cambon to his home at the Cornwall Mansions. After sharing a meal, the two men get down to business, exploring their young bodies and devoting themselves to pleasure. Curious about Jack’s past, Cambon offers him money to share the story of his life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jack Saul’s The Sins of the Cities of the Plain is a classic work of Victorian erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Book SynopsisPreviously uncollected pulp fiction by the 20th century American master.Trade Review"The brevity of the pieces collected here, some no more than two or three pages, suit Bukowski well. ... Best to think of his work as a series of dirty Road Runner cartoons in which Bukowski is the coyote taking one damn kick in the pants--front- and backside--after another. At its worst (the hijack fantasy "Fly the Friendly Skies"), Bukowski's sensibility is ugly and coarse. But when he is swinging, there is a companionable ease to his blunt, profane vernacular. Bukowski's gift was a sense for the raunchy absurdity of life, his writing a grumble that might turn into a belly laugh or a racking cough but that always throbbed with vital energy."--Kirkus Reviews "Bukowski's world is hostile, full of runaway dysfunction, and populated by alcoholics, gamblers, adulterers, and abusers, all with few, if any, redeeming qualities ... It is Bukowski's embrace of this world, his insistence on its validity if not its value, that makes him unique ... Bukowski can be honest and direct, and he is capable of embedding meaningful observations in the most sordid of stories."--Publishers Weekly Bukowski's The Bell Tolls for No One, recently released in a comic-book-like paperback, follows the hardboiled genre bent that reached its surreal apotheosis in his final novel, Pulp. The obvious influence is to Hemingway--see: the title--but perhaps more interestingly, the editor David Stephen Calonne notes Bukowski's debt to the crime writer James M. Cain, who had also, unbeknownst to me, shaped the style of Camus's The Stranger. The book includes some of Bukowski's roughly drawn illustrations, which fall somewhere close to pornographic Ziggy or adult-themed New Yorker cartoons. One features an asthmatic customer at an adult bookstore asking the cashier to inflate his blow-up doll for him; another shows an expressionistically drawn party girl surrounded by gawking men with the caption 'God, a woman could get bored.' The subject matter is a more amplified version of the usual Bukowski fare--stalwart, sleazebag protagonists; spectral, deathly women with emphatically described upper legs. As always, the most one can hope for in Bukowski's universe is 'a grim yet comfortable isolation.'"--Casey Henry, The Paris Review "Like Robert Crumb, whose art appears on the cover of The Bell Tolls For No One, Charles Bukowski represents a kind of brazenly counterculture spirit that holds in contempt anything that represents the Establishment. Read in this light, this newest compilation can be viewed as more than the self-admitted 'notes of a dirty old man,' but as the further works of an iconoclast who, much like the underground comics artists and punk rock bands of the late '70s, waged war against all that was supposedly 'decent' and conventional for the sake of getting at the grit of human experience."-ZYZZYVA These are tales from the lower class and underclass, in all their glorious craziness and absurdity. It's not pretty, and yet, somehow, there is joy in reading these stories, and somehow too, Bukowski ends up being a good buddhist, finding the larger beauty in these dismal lives ... [For those] who already love Buk, this book will leave content, drunk, smiles on our faces."--Entropy Magazine

Book SynopsisShocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller''s first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous and influential books of the twentieth century -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey EminTropic of Cancer redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France and smuggled into other countries. When it was first published in the US in 1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring and uncompromising, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality.''At last an unprintable book that is fit to read'' Ezra Pound ''A momentous event in the history of modern writing'' Samuel Beckett ''The book that forever changed the way American literature would be written'' Erica JongTrade ReviewAt last an unprintable book that is fit to read -- Ezra PoundA momentous event in the history of modern writing -- Samuel BeckettOne of the ten or twenty great novels of our century, a revolution in consciousness equal to The Sun Also Rises -- Norman MailerRead him for five pages, ten pages, and you feel the peculiar relief that comes not so much from understanding as from being understood.

Book SynopsisA cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey EminA story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything.''Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done'' Lawrence Durrell ''The only imaginative prose-writer oTrade ReviewAmerican Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done -- Lawrence DurrellThe only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past -- George OrwellThe greatest American writer -- Bob DylanThere is nothing like Henry Miller when he gets rolling...

Book SynopsisA masterpiece of transgressive, surrealist erotica, George Bataille''s Story of the Eye was the Fifty Shades of Grey of its era. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated by Joachim Neugroschal, and published with essays by Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes.Bataille''s first novel, published under the pseudonym ''Lord Auch'', is still his most notorious work. In this explicit pornographic fantasy, the young male narrator and his lovers Simone and Marcelle embark on a sexual quest involving sadism, torture, orgies, madness and defilement, culminating in a final act of transgression. Shocking and sacrilegious, Story of the Eye is the fullest expression of Bataille''s obsession with the closeness of sex, violence and death. Yet it is also hallucinogenic in its power, and is one of the erotic classics of the twentieth century.This edition also includes Susan Sontag''s superb study of pornography as art, ''The Pornographic Imagination'', as wel

Book SynopsisWith her jaunty dissection of the sex life and the private grooming habits of the novel's 18-year-old narrator, Helen Memel, Charlotte Roche has turned the previously unspeakable into the national conversation in Germany.Trade Review‘Profoundly unsettling’ Rowan Pelling, Daily Mail ‘If you ever wondered what you'd be like if you weren't shy, polite, tolerant, modest, sexually repressed, logical and constrained by modern standards of hygiene, this may be the book for you…This is not a beautiful or perfect book, but an enterprising one, and its cumulative effect is admirable…Our bodies mean a lot to us – even the asshole, about which far too little has been written. Every writer needs to claim a bit of territory, and assholes are there for the grabbing. Boldly, Roche takes them for her own’ Guardian ‘“Wetlands”, in the tradition of Plath's “The Bell Jar”, is a remarkable novel about mental illness that has been mistaken for feminist literature’ Alice O’Keefe, New Statesman ‘The cause of the fuss is the novel's extreme obscenity – though “obscenity” doesn't quite catch the particular, pungent flavour of the thing. “Grunginess” is nearer the mark’ Adam Lively, Sunday Times ‘Literary news this week suggests that when it comes to women writing about sex, reviewers are still reacting in the same way as Dr Johnson to his walking dog, surprised that it’s being done at all. So hats off to Charlotte Roche, who has managed to give both the “Sunday Times” and the “Guardian” the willies by cheerfully confessing to consuming pornography with her husband and starting her book “Wetlands” with a graphic discussion of hemorrhoids’ Lisa Hilton, Spectator ‘Maeve Binchy is famous for her unique humour and insight; Cecelia Ahern is popular for her unlikely twists and touches of magic; Charlotte Roche has a different formula for success – haemorrhoids, hairy armpits and halitosis, mixed together into an unlikely erotic pot-pourri’ Irish Independent
