Sinopse

In a world ruled by tradition, the heart dares to dream of freedom.
Set in the glittering yet rigid world of 1870s New York high society, The Age of Innocence follows Newland Archer, a successful young lawyer engaged to the beautiful and proper May Welland. His carefully ordered life is turned upside down when he meets Countess Ellen Olenska, May's unconventional cousin, whose charm and independence challenge the rules of their social world.

Through elegant prose and razor-sharp observation, Edith Wharton explores themes of love versus duty, personal freedom versus societal expectation, and the quiet sacrifices demanded by tradition.

Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Age of Innocence remains one of the most enduring novels of manners, offering a poignant critique of a society where appearances matter more than truth.

"A brilliant study of love, loss, and the silent compromises of life."
– The New York Times

"Wharton's masterpiece… as subtle as it is devastating."
– The Guardian

    Who cares about public servants? 
    Brenda Viola does. 
    Why? 
    Because she's walked in your shoes. As a Public Information Officer for a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia, she worked shoulder to shoulder with Municipal Clerks, Librarians, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Building and Planning, Police, Firefighters, Administrators, and Elected Officials. 
    Late-night meetings leading into early mornings and dealing with well-meaning but demanding citizens are just two challenges that can lead to burnout and breakdowns. 
    The Public Servants' Survival Guide is especially for you - the unsung heroes who directly affect the quality of life in a community. You make a difference and impact people, literally, where they live. This is legacy work and while the work may energize you, the demands on your time, energy, and attention could drain even the most resilient. 
    You may not be the City Manager or Board President, but you are the CEO of your own life. Taking care of you will be the smartest thing you will ever do. For any busy person, this book will help you restore joy in your work AND in your life. Instead of heading toward a breakdown, you'll be empowered to prepare for a breakthrough.

    Intro Rick, bent over and receiving some not so tender attention from his suddenly dominate girl. She thinks just because he likes watching it that he wants it, too. He doesn’t. But dang, he does have darned good legs in that dress she’s making him wear. 
      
    He can’t believe she’s making him go out in public all dolled up like this, but hey, it’s nice to draw all the hungry attention. 
      
    Destination? A couple of dudes in sweatpants. Things are about to get awkward. But, Rick wants to keep his girl, so he mimics her and gets down on his knees. 
      
    The boys aren’t satisfied with their mouths, though, and Rick and his girl are laid side by side – rear up – to get some true man love. 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesirable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by a bossy woman and another man, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

    An illuminating exploration of the surprisingly familiar sex lives of ordinary medieval people. 
     
     
      
    The medieval humoral system of medicine suggested that it was possible to die from having too much—or too little—sex, while the Roman Catholic Church taught that virginity was the ideal state. Holy men and women committed themselves to lifelong abstinence in the name of religion. Everyone was forced to conform to restrictive rules about who they could have sex with, in what way, how often, and even when, and could be harshly punished for getting it wrong. Other experiences are more familiar. Like us, medieval people faced challenges in finding a suitable partner or trying to get pregnant (or trying not to). They also struggled with many of the same social issues, such as whether prostitution should be legalized. Above all, they shared our fondness for dirty jokes and erotic images. By exploring their sex lives, the book brings ordinary medieval people to life, revealing details of their most personal thoughts and experiences. Ultimately, it provides us with an important and intimate connection to the past. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Social and Political Philosophy...

    This book contains these philosophical topics: 
    - Feminist Philosophy: Feminist philosophy has emerged as a critical lens for understanding and deconstructing gender roles, power structures, and the ways in which societal norms shape individual identities. At its core, feminist philosophy challenges traditional, patriarchal systems that often position women and marginalized genders as secondary to men. It is not merely a critique of these systems but an exploration of alternative ways of thinking about power, justice, and equality. Feminist philosophers have sought to unravel the deep-rooted assumptions about gender, questioning how these assumptions limit the full potential of individuals and societies. 
    - Political Philosophy: Political philosophy plays a central role in the development of societies, offering profound insights into the principles and ideas that shape governance and human relations. At its core, political philosophy seeks to understand the fundamental questions of power, authority, justice, and the rights of individuals within a collective. By examining these issues, political philosophy provides a framework for interpreting and evaluating the structures that govern our lives, from the most intimate social arrangements to the global political order. It is through political philosophy that we come to grips with the nature of justice, equality, freedom, and the role of the state in promoting the common good.
