I suoi obiettivi sono laurearsi e fare carriera in uno studio legale. Una sera decide di accompagnare il suo coinquilino gay in discoteca, e la sua vita cambia. Si rende conto, infatti, di essere attratto dall’uomo più bello che abbia mai visto. Tutte le sue etichette piano piano finiscono per staccarsi, perché non riesce a dimenticarlo.

Soprattutto quando quel qualcuno ha ancora una ragazza.

Più forte: una storia BDSM
by Denisse RoseIl marito di Chloe era del resto un uomo affascinante, e lei pensava che avrebbe avuto tutto quando l’aveva trovato, un uomo ricco che avrebbe potuto darle qualunque cosa avesse voluto, con un paio di figli lungo la via. Un anno di matrimonio, d'altronde, e lui aveva già perso interesse in lei e Chloe si era convinta che stesse avendo un'amante. Lui cominciava a stare a lavoro sempre più a lungo, sempre più protettivo col suo cellulare ed erano sempre più frequenti le sue inspiegate assenze.

Sperava di sbloccare i desideri nascosti di James ma non ne aveva ancora trovato la chiave. Alla festa, Chloe provò a interpretare il ruolo della mogliettina perfetta tutta la notta ma si stava...

Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell
by Lesa Scholl Emily MorrisCritical assessments of Elizabeth Gaskell have tended to emphasise the regional and provincial aspects of her writing, but the scope of her influence extended across the globe. Building on theories of space and place, the contributors to this collection bring a variety of geographical, industrial, psychological, and spatial perspectives to bear on the vast range of Gaskell’s literary output and on her place within the narrative of British letters and national identity. The advent of the railway and the increasing predominance of manufactory machinery reoriented the nation’s physical and social countenance, but alongside the excitement of progress and industry was a sense of fear and loss manifested through an idealization of the country home, the pastoral retreat, and the agricultural south. In keeping with the theme of progress and change, the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire. Finally, the volume engages with adaptation and cultural performance, in keeping with the continuing importance of Gaskell in contemporary popular culture far beyond the historical and cultural environs of nineteenth-century Manchester.
