Sinossi

The Genius is a semi-autobiographical novel by Theodore Dreiser, published in 1915. The story follows the life of Eugene Witla, a talented and ambitious young artist. The novel is a poignant exploration of the struggles and challenges faced by a creative individual in a society that often fails to appreciate and understand artistic genius.

Theodore Dreiser (1871–1945) was an American novelist and journalist known for his realistic and often gritty portrayals of American life. He was one of the prominent figures of naturalism, a literary movement that sought to apply scientific principles to the study of human nature. His works often tackled social issues and the struggles faced by individuals in a rapidly industrializing and materialistic society.

Drop Your Panties Honeyor Else!...

J.C. Cummings

Warning: Explicit Content. An ENF Submissive Female Story of Intense Humiliation.

Mike Malone and his wife Michelle are whooping it up! They’ve just made through the border stop at the U.S.-Mexico border, and they’re on their way to sunny Monterrey!

Well, Michelle is whooping it up anyway. Mike is too caught up ogling his hot, perky young wife as she cavorts about the front seat in her skimpy denim shorts and halter top. Sadly, ogling is pretty much the only way Mike ever gets to enjoy her. Ever since she started getting up to speed in her new career as a realtor, she’s been too tired and too busy for him. Worse, Michelle is one seriously bossy and demanding young woman—daughter of a wealthy businessman (and Mike’s boss) and all.

So, poor Mike is left to quietly drool over her and nothing more.

Until, minutes later, after veering off the highway in search of cold drinks, they are pulled over by five Mexican highway patrolmen on motorcycles.

Make that five very dirty-minded Mexican highway patrolmen!

Well, one misunderstanding leads to another, and, before they know it, Michelle is completely nude and bending over the hood of their car being strip-searched!

Michelle is outraged—and she really doesn’t help her situation with her big-mouthed, mean-spirited objections to her mistreatment.

Mike, on the other hand, is beside himself—aroused to the hilt and seething in envy as he watches these cops with their hands all over Michelle’s nubile body.

But maybe things aren’t as bad as they seem. Maybe those cops, sensing Mike’s frustration, might request Mike’s assistance. And maybe those cops, perverts that they are, will help Mike have the best day of his life!

A visiting king and queen promise them excitement and change if together they build a new domain. As Dyami feared, the royals soon make the Dukán slaves. 
Dyami's heart breaks seeing her new friends suffer, while foreign emotions like fear and anger overwhelm her. If she interferes, she risks being punished and banished from the angelic realm. 
This fast-paced adventure uses allegory and fantasy to discuss duality, the Tree of Life, and viewing outside time. It's perfect for those who enjoyed classics like The Chronicles of Narnia or A Wrinkle in Time.
