Synopsis

768 AD. - Young Irene, who comes from a noble Greek family, participates in the pompous "bridal parade"
called by the basileus Constantine V in order to find the future bride of the heir to the Eastern throne, his son Leo.
Against all odds, she will succeed over all the competitors by conquering her future husband, who will
introduce her to the court, changing her life after years of vexation by her own family members.
But neither Leo nor she can imagine what will happen next. Increasingly comfortable in the palace and fascinated by power,
Irene will begin to nurture ambitions far greater than her role as consort to the basileus.
Succumbing to her hunger, she will start an ascent that will remain in history. And that will consign her to posterity
as the first empress of the Romans, alone and unchallenged in power.
At the expense of her enemies, but also of her loved ones.

    "Power, Pleasure, and Pain: A Study of Abuse Through Time" delves into the dark history of how sexual violence and abuse have been intertwined with power structures throughout history. From the libertine excesses of figures like the Marquis de Sade to the scandals of modern-day predators like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, this book provides a compelling examination of how those in power have used their positions to exploit and control others. 
    Spanning centuries, this critical exploration looks at the societal, cultural, and institutional failures that have enabled abusers to operate with impunity. Sean Dupree uses both historical and contemporary examples to highlight the systemic nature of sexual violence, tracing its roots back to philosophical and psychological underpinnings of dominance and submission. 
    Whether dissecting the abuse of power in religious institutions, entertainment, or the workplace, this study leaves no stone unturned. "Power, Pleasure, and Pain" is a powerful reminder that, despite the progress made by movements like #MeToo, much work remains to be done in holding abusers accountable and supporting survivors of sexual violence.

    The author firmly believes that the philosophical standpoint of idealism provides the correct understanding of the world. Nothing material exists; all are conceptions in a single, universal consciousness. 
    Is it possible? Is it likely? 
    This book shows that it is, in fact, the most likely explanation of all. In a mental world, it is easy to connect the natural sciences with humanistic fields such as psychology, language, music, sociology, ethics, religion – and everything else. 
    Common laws govern them all. Poetry and weather can be explained by the fundamental mechanisms of emergence and complexity dynamics. Economy, trees, gossip, elementary particles and cosmological events all follow the same laws in their development. 
    What, then, is a human being? What are life and death? What is time? You get specific answers. 
    The author says that he has ”known” things all his life, but it took many years before the knowledge entirely broke through. The first part of the book is about this awakening. You get to know precisely how it happened and what is required for it to occur. 
    The book’s second part presents a complete theory of the world. It is idealistic (Plato, Descartes), i.e. based on the fact that thought and consciousness are fundamental, while all the material things we see around us are mental conceptions which are also experienced as qualia; something tangible, felt, material, physical. 
    This is a book like no other, and it not only sets the mind spinning but presents what may well be an accurate description of the universe in which we live. 
    At the same time, it goes deep into being human; what it is in essence, and also why we experience life’s pain, fear, longing, etc. – and how we can live more in harmony with our authentic self, which is something quite different from what most people think.
