Sex and Punishment tells the story of the struggle throughout millennia to regulate the most powerful engine of human behaviour: sex. From the savage impalement of an Ancient Mesopotamian adulteress to the imprisonment of Oscar Wilde for 'gross indecency' in 1895, Eric Berkowitz evokes the entire sweep of Western sex law. The cast of Sex and Punishment is as varied as the forms taken by human desire itself: royal mistresses, gay charioteers, medieval transvestites, lonely goat-lovers, prostitutes of all stripes and London rent boys. Each of them had forbidden sex, and each was judged – and justice, as Berkowitz shows – rarely had anything to do with it.

The Scarlet Plague - Jack London - The Scarlet Plague is a post-apocalyptic fiction novel written by Jack London in 1912. The book was noted in 2020 as having been very similar to the Coronavirus outbreak, especially given London wrote it at a time when the world was not as quickly connected by travel as it is today. Set in 2073, this classic science fiction novel begins sixty years after a devastating epidemic wipes out most of humanity. James Howard Smith, one of the only survivors from the San Francisco area who remembers life before the plague, tries to impart the value of his wisdom to his grandsons as his time on Earth grows ever shorter. Knowing only the savage world in which they have been raised, the feral boys cannot comprehend the scientific and technological wonders of a time before the Red Death and they mock their grandfather's indecipherable babble. A despairing Smith can only fear for the future of humanity . . .

"Engrossing…. a terrifically entertaining novel."--Irish Times In the early 20th century, China is a land undergoing a momentous social and cultural shift, with a thousand-year-old empire crumbling and the nation on the brink of modernity. Against this backdrop, a quiet man from the North embarks on a perilous journey to a Southern city in the grip of a savage snowstorm. He carries with him a newborn baby: he is looking for the child's mother and a city that isn't there. This is a story of two people: a man who finds unexpected success after having journeyed to the hometown of the woman who abandoned him; and the woman he is searching for, who mysteriously disappeared to embark on her own eventful journey. This is a story about vanished crafts and ancient customs, about violence, love, and friendship. Above all, it's a story about change and about storytelling itself, full of vivid characters and surprising twists—an epic tale, as inexorable as time itself and as gripping as a classic adventure story.

As an Irish Catholic raised in Leicester, fresh from University College Dublin with a first in History, Kevin Myers is sent north to work for the Belfast bureau of RTE News. There he covers the increasingly vicious conflict erupting in the city as the IRA campaign begins. Reporting too for Dublin's Hibernia, the London Observer and NBC Radio for North America, Kevin Myers becomes the eyes and ears for an uncomprehending world, chronicling the collapse of Northern Irish society, from internment to the La Mon bombing. Raw, candid and courageous, Watching the Door documents the deeds of loyalist gangs, provos, paratroopers, politicians, British agents and an indomitable citizenry, forming a remarkable double portrait of a divided society and an emergent self – a witness to humanity, and inhumanity, on both sides of a sectarian faultline. In his wonderfully vivid, trenchant, first-hand account of life on the streets of Belfast during the height of the Troubles, a young Kevin Myers witnesses the blood fueds and chaos of a people on the brink of civil war. His descriptions of violence, counter-violence and emotional free-fall, combine humour with reflection, eros with thanatos; they render history in the making. By interweaving the political and the personal in a tale at once self-deprecating, poignant and sexually buoyant, Watching the Door is a coming-of-age story like no other. It is evocative and passionate, and it records a pivotal time in Ireland's recent past, blending articulacy with savage indignation in a classic of modern reportage.

Jon Savage, periodista experto en subculturas juveniles y autor del galardonado England's Dreaming: Sex Pistols y el Punk Rock, explora en Teenage. La invención de la juventud 1875-1945 la prehistoria oculta del fenómeno que transformó la sociedad contemporánea, la emergencia de la juventud como una etapa diferenciada entre la niñez y el mundo adulto. Es este un libro monumental, un trabajo titánico de investigación que arranca en 1875 y termina en 1945, en el momento en que el término teenage –o sus traducciones– se convierte en parte integral de la cultura popular, y en el que Savage ha sumado información de múltiples y muy variadas fuentes: literatura científica y popular, periódicos, publicidad, música, cine, moda, política, arte... Teenage. La invención de la juventud 1875-1945escruta durante siete décadas el devenir de la juventud y sus muchas y divergentes direcciones, y por sus páginas deambulan bandas de gamberros juveniles, boy scouts y románticos que buscaban la vuelta a la naturaleza, carne de cañón en la Gran Guerra, las flappers de los locos años veinte y su pasión por el jazz, los rebeldes del swing alemanes o la visión militarista de las Juventudes Hitlerianas. Savage hace un retrato que cruza generaciones y clases sociales, analizando sus contextos y sus experiencias, sus expectativas y sus sueños, sus éxitos y sus fracasos. Pero, además de los intensos vectores de creatividad y vitalidad, pero también de destrucción y alienación, que tensan a esta juventud, Savage no pierde de vista las presiones del mundo adulto para moldear y orientar estos vectores, sea hacia un consumismo rampante sea como soldados para nuevas guerras. Las páginas deTeenage. La invención de la juventud 1875-1945 están llenas de música, de jazz y ragtime y swing, y sus historias se suceden rápidas y llenas de pasión, cómicas o dolorosas, pero siempre conmovedoras. Las experiencias personales se anudan con el análisis global de un tiempo cuajado de conflictos, tejiendo un fresco caleidoscópico de cultura popular e historia social. Una exuberante crónica del nacimiento de la juventud.
