Book Description
Mistress, Mother, Muse: An Exploration of the Female in Modern and Contemporary Mediterranean Literature fills a vacuum in comparative literary studies in that it lays the foundations for Mediterraneanism to develop as an area in literary studies. The book is an exploration of aspects of female liminality, including motherhood, sexuality and creativity, in three distinctive Mediterranean cultures, namely Spanish, Greek and Arabic. It adopts myth as an approach to literary analysis, and, thus, introduces a new, ground-breaking method of analysis in literary studies. Mistress, Mother, Muse: An Exploration of the Female in Modern and Contemporary Mediterranean Literature represents a useful reference to students, scholars and academics in the fields of comparative literature, modern Greek literature, Spanish literature, Arabic literature, myth studies, classical Greek literature, and womens studies.

Pages : 163
Book Description
Why do Women, even very attractive women, stay in relationships with Men who treat them badly?Is it low self-esteem or a desire to submit to a dominant man? A dominant man who will provide all the romance and excitement she has been brought up to believe is her natural right.In my case it was the latter; I wanted the big, handsome hunky guy who would sweep me off my feet, treat me like a princess in public and his sex slave in the bedroom. But, as most women find out, life is not a fairy tale.A real life Rhett Butler probably does exist but you will have more chance of finding a needle in a haystack. Elizabeth Bennett found happiness but for every Mr Darcy there are hundreds of selfish men who think a woman's job is just to supply sex and child care.WOMEN SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE POWER THEY HAVE.I didn't realise it until I was thirty-five and until that point I put up with my men coming home drunk, wasting my money, getting fatter and more abusive and providing me with increasingly disappointing sex.I put up with it no longer.I now have a man who sees it as his principle aim in life to keep me happy, contented, wealthy and sexually satisfied.I have known my man for most of my life but he only became my boyfriend seven years ago. During that time I have been a professional Dominatrix and a writer of books dedicated to the dominant female. And my boyfriend is also my slave.In this book I explain how all this came about.The book is more about personal-transformation and female-empowerment than it is about kinky, usually fictional, sexual fantasies. The success of the book, Fifty shades of grey, shows the interest there is out there in an alternative, discipline based life-style and emphasises that many women share that interest.Unlike, fifty shades of grey, Dominant Female Submissive Male is primarily a manual for submissive men to find the Mistress of their dreams but it is also an eye-opener for frustrated women as it shows them the glorious, very exotic and exciting life they could have.While some submissive men are slightly pathetic, and even creepy, many are romantic, kind-hearted, reliable and good fun. They adore and respect women and see it as their role in life to support them. What's not to like about that?They will have a desire for discipline and this desire will be inextricably linked to their sexual nature. For some this will be extreme and involve heavy BDSM but for most it will involve safe, erotic role-play and spankings.The point is that Women control when, how and even if it happens. Women have the power in all aspects of the relationship and how they exercise that power is up to them. Believe me, once you have a man on his knees begging for an orgasm you will never look back.But Women do not want to live with a wimp and this is what a lot of very nice submissive men fail to understand and why many of them remain frustrated and single when, with a little change of emphasis, their dreams are so easily achievable.This book is a guide on how to affect this change of emphasis and to get across what women are looking for and will accept in a loving, fulfilling and very kinky relationship.It also explains how submissive men can learn to accept and enjoy their kink and how to widen their circle of fetish friends. It relates the authors own experiences and offers guidance on how to get the best out of a session with a Dominatrix and how to become more than just a client to her. It also explains how to tell your wife about your desire for female-domination and, more importantly, how not to.It also offers cautionary tales and about how not to get ripped off by unscrupulous con-artists.The central aim of the book however, is to bring together good men who have a desire for female-domination with good women looking for a lover who will provide happiness, support, fun, excitement and success.Please click on the look inside feature for a preview.

The Hunter, the Stag, and the Mother of Animals
Author: Esther Jacobson-Tepfer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190202378
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
The ancient landscape of North Asia gave rise to a mythic narrative of birth, death, and transformation that reflected the hardship of life for ancient nomadic hunters and herders. Of the central protagonists, we tend to privilege the hero hunter of the Bronze Age and his re-incarnation as a warrior in the Iron Age. But before him and, in a sense, behind him was a female power, half animal, half human. From her came permission to hunt the animals of the taiga, and by her they were replenished. She was, in other words, the source of the hunter's success. The stag was a latecomer to this tale, a complex symbol of death and transformation embedded in what ultimately became a struggle for priority between animal mother and hero hunter. From this region there are no written texts to illuminate prehistory, and the hundreds of burials across the steppe reveal little relating to myth and belief before the late Bronze Age. What they do tell us is that peoples and cultures came and went, leaving behind huge stone mounds, altars, and standing stones as well as thousands of petroglyphic images. With The Hunter, the Stag, and the Mother of Animals, Esther Jacobson-Tepfer uses that material to reconstruct the prehistory of myth and belief in ancient North Asia. Her narrative places monuments and imagery within the context of the physical landscape and by considering all three elements as reflections of the archaeology of belief. Within that process, paleoenvironmental forces, economic innovations, and changing social order served as pivots of mythic transformation. With this vividly illustrated study, Jacobson-Tepfer brings together for this first time in any language Russian and Mongolian archaeology with prehistoric representational traditions of South Siberia and Mongolia in order to explore the non-material aspects of these fascinating prehistoric cultures.
