Virginia Ginnie Joy is twenty-seven and desperate to make some bold changes to her mundane life of disappointed relationships with sexually ineffective men, a safe but boring job and an uneventful social life. Her solution is to place an advertisement in the local newspaper for women who would like to become part of an all-female rugby team.To her surprise she gets thirty-two replies. During the interviews Ginnie realises that she has tapped into a sexually diverse and sassy wellspring of the local sisterhood who all want something different in their lives, and rolling around in the Wiltshire mud in pursuit of the oval-shaped ball fits the bill. The Furious Fannies team are born.As the they begin to train, play, and bond it quickly becomes apparent that its not only the men who swear, abuse, fight, bite and smash their opponents in pursuit of victory, the ladies can more than hold their own here as well with the added and hugely humorous wit of Heidi Prager. She is their overly posh lock, enforcer and team character who just loves to wind up their opponents with abusive, humorous comments and dirty play. Since Heidi joined the squad she has, as with some of the others, swopped a rootless existence for one of belonging to a diverse, sassy family of female souls with joy and laughter in each others company as they train and play rugby. The Fannies sexually diverse and competitive bandinage and will to win has collectively become their sporting home.With their own ground secured and after a couple of local warm-up games under their former alcoholic but experienced female coach, the Furious Fannies play their first season in a competitive but minor South Western league. Each game is an explicit and explosive example of rough female rugby that includes rubbish with occasional flashes of brilliance, see-sawing results, and embryonic sapphic and heterosexual relationships - off and on the pitch - as they bond and fight for their place in the league.Wiltshire is a county of ancient mysteries and downland miracles and on the pitch some of these begin to show. Off-pitch a burgeoning and unusual relationship develops between Ginnie and a much older but clever, powerful, and rich man as she becomes the standout player in the team.As The Furious Fannies set out to take on other equally competitive female teams in the pursuit of mud-splattered and explicit-strewn rugby union glory, and Ginnies relationship with the rich man improves, be prepared to support them and become an avid fan.

The Eleven Thousand Rods (1907), by Guillaume Apollinaire, is an erotic novel that blends satire, excess, and transgression. The work follows the adventures of Prince Mony Vibescu, a young Romanian nobleman who travels across Europe indulging in endless sexual experiences. His journey becomes a grotesque parade of extreme situations in which desire is portrayed as unrestrained, irrational, and often violent, defying the moral and literary conventions of its time.The narrative unfolds as a succession of episodes in which the protagonist plunges into orgies, fantasies, and sexual practices taken to the limit. Each episode seems to outdo the previous one in extravagance and rawness, making the novel a catalog of excesses that is deliberately provocative. Apollinaire does not seek to conceal obscenity but instead highlights it as a narrative device and as an ironic critique of social hypocrisy.Beyond its scandalous content, The Eleven Thousand Rods can also be read as a parody of adventure and travel novels. Mony Vibescus journeys place him in an international context that reflects early 20th-century Europe, but the absurd and grotesque situations transform the voyage into an exploration of the boundaries of the body and desire. In this way, the work moves between eroticism, satire, and the absurd.Guillaume Apollinaire (18801918) was a French poet, storyteller, and art critic, one of the central figures of the European avant-garde. Known for his innovative poetry and his closeness to movements such as Cubism and Surrealism, he also ventured into erotic fiction with works such as The Eleven Thousand Rods and The Eleven Thousand Whips. His irreverent style and his ability to break taboos made him an influential author, whose work continues to attract interest for its boldness and literary experimentation.

As hearts clash and ambitions collide, a symbolic bronze eagle becomes the token of loyalty, destiny, and power.

Un testimonio íntimo sobre la búsqueda de identidad, el deseo de ser mirado, el miedo a no ser suficiente y la necesidad urgente de amar, aunque duela. Cuando, además, tienes solo veinte años.No fue un flechazo. No hubo mariposas, ni promesas. A veces el amor no llega de golpe. Llega en forma de mensaje, de cita torpe, de olor a cerezas, de silencio incomodo que se vuelve costumbre. Esta es la historia de ese amor. Del que no grita, pero duele. Del que se recuerda mas por lo que no fue que por lo que si.Sobre nosotros es el relato de un amor que nace en lo cotidiano y se desgasta entre silencios, miedos y ausencias. De lo que ocurre cuando con el amor no basta. Del miedo a estar solo, del vertigo de los veinte y de todo lo que duele cuando no hay referentes para explicar lo que uno siente.

Parecia hablar del amor, pero tal vez lo importante era el miedo. Lo que somos despues de la verguenza: nerviosismo, el cuerpo que se entrega y el ego que constriñe. El calor y el frioSara Torres.El debut en la ficcion de Luis Sala es una primera novela que no parece un debut, sino el fruto de mucho años escribiendo o, tal vez, de estar destinado a llegar a ella y que nos la haga llegar a nosotros, sus felices lectores.

As palavras aqui postas exigiram uma biópsia, um meter-se dentro delas para saber o quepodiam. Palavras que insistiram em dizer o que queriam ou deviam realmente significar no contexto em que se inseriram. Ao reunir papeis velhos e malcheirosos para compor a vida de tantas personagens, realizei alguns gestos necessarios a boa ordenaço dos fatos, das ideias e dos acontecimentos que se atropelavam, como e atropelada a vida. Que esses gestos tenham despertado uma lembrança sequer de algum leitor, ja valeu. Perdoe-me se no fui precisa. Eu precisava ser? O vago estava cheio, transbordando passageiros, e semear paginas ao longo dos campos do Brasil no e crime cultural imperdoavel, ainda.
