Sinossi

In "Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy," Marie Corelli delves into the intricacies of political and spiritual authority, blending a rich tapestry of fiction, philosophy, and social commentary. The narrative is woven with her characteristic lyrical prose, embodying the tension between earthly rulers and the divine right of influence. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time marked by socio-political upheaval and a growing fascination with mysticism, Corelli contemplates the influence of unseen forces in the realm of power, challenging the reader's perceptions of sovereignty and morality. Corelli, often regarded as one of the bestselling authors of her time, was deeply influenced by the spiritual movements and the burgeoning interest in the occult that permeated Victorian society. Her experiences as a woman navigating a male-dominated literary landscape may have prompted her to address themes of dominance and spiritual awakening in this thought-provoking work. Corelli's profound insights and reflective narrative style showcase her desire to elevate the reader's consciousness concerning societal constructs. "Temporal Power" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of politics and metaphysics, as well as readers who appreciate rich, philosophical literature that critiques the status quo. Corelli's eloquent prose invites readers to reflect upon their own perceptions of power and the influence of the unseen, making this work a timeless exploration of human authority.

Virgin Strategist The: How Women...

A.A. Castor

What if virginity wasn't a fact—but a strategy? 
In a world obsessed with chastity, control, and feminine mystique, The Virgin Strategist exposes the raw mechanics behind one of society's most powerful illusions: the untouchable woman. This isn't a book about sex—it's about the absence of it, and the social currency that "not giving in" can generate. 
From purity culture to OnlyFans rebrands, this book explores how modern women wield the idea of virginity—real or fabricated—as a weapon of control, manipulation, and upward mobility. Whether she's a born-again good girl, a celibate tease, or a single mother suddenly setting moral boundaries, the Virgin Strategist isn't lying. She's surviving. She's performing. And she's winning. 
Drawing from psychology, sociology, and unapologetic real-world case studies, this brutal analysis dives into:How celibacy can command more power than sexThe female fear of being "too available"Faux purity as brandingLong-distance virginity performancesEmotional withholding and religious re-inventionAnd the emotional toll of always pretending to be "clean" 
The Virgin Strategist is not for the faint-hearted. It is for readers who want to understand the game behind the innocence, the strategy behind the smile, and the power behind the "no." 
Dead serious. Laughably real. Disturbingly true.

Daddy Issues - Love and Hate in...

Katherine Angel

On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy 
 
 
 
In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. 
 
 
 
Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? 
 
 
 
As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

Guns Girls and Greed - I Was a...

Morgan Lerette

Guns, Girls, and Greed is an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes, tell-all account of the scathing and dangerous life of mercenaries at war in Iraq. 
 
Experience the world of private contractors conducting high-threat missions for a nascent Iraqi government in the hopes of rebuilding after the fall of Saddam Hussein. With limited support, the men of Blackwater protected US diplomats as the country descended into sectarian violence. It was a hazardous mission complete with rockets, mortars, improvised explosive devices, and not knowing who or where the enemy was. 
 
Morgan Lerette’s irreverently honest memoir shows the good and bad of injecting private armies into active combat zones in the name of diplomacy and digs deep into the bonds of brotherhood created by war. With gut-wrenching tragedy, dark humor, and parties that make Animal House seem like a Disney film, this memoir offers a firsthand perspective on how men act and react in war. 
 
Lerette, a private contractor employed by the notorious Blackwater in the early days of the Iraq War, pulls no punches in calling out the incompetence of both the US military and the Department of State during the collapse of Iraq. You can decide if the insertion of private contractors in Iraq assisted or detracted from the war effort and if the costs in blood and treasure were worth the carnage.
