Sinossi

In "The White Indian Boy," Elijah Nicholas Wilson presents a captivating autobiographical narrative that immerses readers in the life of his youth spent among Native Americans in the 19th century. The book employs a vivid, episodic storytelling style, marked by rich imagery and a poignant reflection on identity, culture, and the frontier experience. Set against the backdrop of an era rife with conflict and sociopolitical upheaval, Wilson's work not only recounts personal adventures but also serves as an important commentary on the complexities of American culture during westward expansion. Elijah Nicholas Wilson, born to pioneering parents, developed an unyielding fascination with Native American cultures from a young age. He spent several formative years living with various tribes, experiences that fostered a deep respect for their traditions and beliefs. His unique upbringing allowed him to bridge two worlds, providing a nuanced perspective on the oft-romanticized West, which informs the tone and insights found within this memoir. "The White Indian Boy" is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, ethnography, or the frontier life. Wilson's authentic voice and intimate recollection offer valuable lessons on cultural exchange and resilience. This work stands as an essential contribution to both Native American literature and the broader canon of American autobiographical narratives.

My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.

Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.

Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.

The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.

The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

The Most Bizarre Cult Ever - The...

John Harpoon

The Pythagorean Cult, founded by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, stands as one of the most mysterious and intriguing movements in history. Emerging in the 6th century BCE, it blended religious, philosophical, and scientific ideals into a unique and complex system that shaped the intellectual landscape of ancient Greece. At the heart of the cult was the figure of Pythagoras, revered as a divine being by his followers. His teachings, rooted in the belief that numbers and mathematics governed the universe, attracted a dedicated group of adherents who sought enlightenment and understanding of the natural and spiritual world.
Pythagoras’s teachings extended far beyond the realms of geometry and mathematics. His philosophy emphasized harmony, proportion, and balance, both in the cosmos and within the individual. The Pythagoreans viewed numbers not only as abstract symbols but as the very essence of reality. Everything, from the movements of the stars to the music of the spheres, was thought to be governed by mathematical principles. This belief in the fundamental nature of numbers formed the cornerstone of the cult's worldview, setting them apart from other philosophical schools of thought at the time.
In addition to their intellectual pursuits, the Pythagoreans practiced a strict code of conduct that demanded both physical and spiritual discipline. Their lifestyle was based on a set of moral and ethical principles, which included dietary restrictions, meditation, and an unwavering commitment to silence and contemplation. This approach aimed at achieving spiritual purity, with the ultimate goal of transcending the limitations of the physical body and achieving union with the divine. Pythagoras himself was seen as both a teacher and a spiritual guide, and his followers believed he possessed an almost supernatural understanding of the world.
