  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.

  Caesar and the Roman Republic -...

  Julius Caesar’s rise to power is one of the most fascinating stories in Roman history. Born into a patrician family in 100 BCE, Caesar’s early life was marked by both privilege and struggle. Although he came from a noble family, his position was not secure. His family had fallen from political prominence, and Caesar’s early years were fraught with financial difficulties and political rivalries. His father died when Caesar was young, leaving him to navigate the complex political landscape of Rome largely on his own. 
  Caesar’s first major step toward power came when he joined the military, gaining valuable experience and recognition in the Roman army. His leadership and military skill helped him rise through the ranks, and by 69 BCE, he had secured a position as quaestor, a crucial step in his political career. During his time in the army, Caesar gained a reputation for his boldness and ambition, qualities that would define his later political career. 
  His political journey truly began when he formed the First Triumvirate in 60 BCE, a political alliance with two of Rome’s most powerful figures: Pompey the Great and Crassus. This alliance was not born of friendship, but rather of mutual interests. Pompey sought land for his soldiers and recognition for his military victories, while Crassus, the wealthiest man in Rome, sought political influence and power. Caesar, for his part, wanted to secure military command and the financial backing necessary to rise to the top of Roman politics. Together, they formed a formidable bloc that allowed Caesar to advance rapidly in his career.

  An intimate retelling of Lyndon B. Johnson's politics and presidency by one of his closest advisors. 
   
   
   
  Horace Busby was one of LBJ's most trusted advisors; their close working and personal relationship spanned twenty years. In The Thirty-First of March he offers an indelible portrait of a president and a presidency at a time of crisis. From the aftereffects of the Kennedy assassination, when Busby was asked by the newly sworn-in president to sit by his bedside during his first troubled nights in office, to the concerns that defined the Great Society—civil rights, the economy, social legislation, housing, and the Vietnam War—Busby not only articulated and refined Johnson's political thinking, he also helped shape the most ambitious, far-reaching legislative agenda since FDR's New Deal. 
   
   
   
  Here is Johnson the politician, Johnson the schemer, Johnson who advised against JFK's choice of an open limousine that fateful day in Dallas, and Johnson the father, sickened by the deaths of young men fighting and dying in Vietnam on his orders. The Thirty-first of March is a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum of Johnson's presidency, as seen through the eyes of one of the people who understood him best.

  George and Catherine Stewart share not only the burden of Catherine's heart disease, which could cause her death at any time, but the memory of Jerome Martell, her first husband and George's closest friend. Martel, a brilliant doctor passionately concerned with social justice, is presumed to have died in a Nazi prison camp. His sudden return to Montreal precipitates the central crisis of the novel. Hugh MacLennan takes the reader into the lives of his three characters and back into the world of Montreal in the thirties, when politics could send an idealist across the world to Spain, France, Auschwitz, Russia, and China before his return home.
