Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Francesca is 45 years old, has a career as a lawyer behind her and an apparently orderly family life. When the law firm where she has worked for twenty years is closed due to a scandal linked to money laundering, her world collapses. Suspended from the professional register, unemployed and at risk of aiding and abetting, Francesca finds herself looking for a new job.By chance she enters a very particular recruitment agency and, following instinct rather than reason, accepts a job as an escort. From the initial embarrassment to the most daring experiences - ranging from the grotesque to the erotic - Francesca begins to discover a side of herself that she didn't know. Her inhibitions become weaker and, between encounters with men and women, group dates and extreme situations, the weight of guilt towards her family lightens.But the fear of being too much free forces her to give up everything, returning to a more conventional job as a sales assistant in a boutique. However, the 'magnet' that attracted her to this overwhelming world continues to exert its power, so much so that the ending suggests that the adventure could begin again.A short novel that mixes eroticism, the grotesque and psychological introspection, telling the story of the transformation of an ordinary woman into an extraordinary protagonist Francesca is a lawyer, wife and mother: can such a woman be comfortable in the shoes of an escort and, even, interpenetrate her thoughts It seems so when chance, necessity and a magnet - a dark and hitherto unknown force - begin to work in concert.No repentance, in her, not even when she lies to cover her erotic and grotesque adventures.In Francesca's story there is a sinking that becomes redemption and a subsequent redemption that will be disillusionment.But it is not easy to demagnetize a magnet, there is always the risk that the magnet will proceed in its work; secretly, under the radar, but still attracting.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How much is a dream worth And how much does it cost A young man with no prospects agrees to take part in a revolutionary experiment, undergoing fifteen psychoanalytic sessions with Otto, a hyper-technological device capable of guiding anyone into a state of hypnosis that transforms hidden desires into realistic dreams.The compensation that awaits him once the therapy is over is tempting, but the journey into his memories turns out to be full of traps.Otto not only reconstructs images from the past but transforms them, bringing to light uncomfortable truths that the protagonist had never understood before, generating unexpected doubts in him. In an obsessive crescendo, the boundary between the real and the dreamlike dissolves: the visions reconstructed by Otto lead the boy to discover disturbing sides of his own family, to the point of seeing his mother as the protagonist of degrading and increasingly realistic adventures.During the last session, Otto speaks to him directly - something not planned and not part of the experimental protocol - and at that point the protagonist realizes that he can no longer trust even his own memory. The path to compensation becomes a struggle to regain mental equilibrium; Otto will give him the key to distinguish the true from the false, but the question remains unanswered: can one return safely from such a deep journey into one's own mind An erotic and science fiction novel that explores desires, obsessions and the fine line between reality and perception of reality. Note: This novel contains explicit situations and language that may be sensitive for some readers. Recommended for mature and open-minded audiences. Can dreams be tele-guided Is there a contraption to which to give as input the past photos of those who have chosen to experience a special thrill, a device that can articulate the hidden desires of anyone who wants to experience it Yes, it exists: it is called Otto and it is a project being worked on by a company that mixes artificial intelligence technology with traditional hypnosis. It is a highly sophisticated device that can capture and pander to the true intentions of those who undergo it, a product that will cost as much as a Lamborghini and thanks to which the rich men can have the illusion of living a past that is exactly what they wanted to live.The experimentation begins: buckle up, because the monsters that lodge within each of us are coming.…

On the brink of despair, an old classmate - a shady man with ulterior motives - offers her a lifeline: a job as a bartender at the Condor, a notorious nightclub.Forced by necessity, Simona takes the job, only to find herself in a world darker than she imagined. The Condor is a place where bodies are treated as commodities, and power belongs to those who dominate others. Simona narrowly avoids assault when the club's boss is arrested, but her trials are far from over. As she adjusts to the harsh realities of her new life, she struggles to keep her double identity a secret from her family by weaving increasingly complex lies.But danger also lurks closer to home: her teenage son begins to suspect the truth.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Elusive is a collection of three short novels-two previously published plus one unpublished-that follows German Shepherd's new graphic direction, the so-called 'Dual-Track Philosophy.'Will Simona make a career in the city's nightclubs (Vol. 1) tells the story of a perfectly ordinary wife and mother who, after being laid off from her job, is forced to enter a world of debauchery and there, against all odds, finds a reason to feel excitement, joy, and a sense of living again.Racconti sconvenienti di donne trascurate, on the other hand, is an anthology of short stories following the lives of several women who, for a variety of reasons, are forced to reevaluate their relationships with others; as if in a revelation, the book's protagonists will face a change that, though imposed by those around them, will alter their perspective on existing interpersonal relationships.Irene, the unpublished story, tells of a woman involved in politics but who, unlike the other heroines in this omnibus, is the architect of her own misfortunes; in fact, she is driven by ambition, and it is precisely her ambition that sets a trap for her that is as risky as it is seemingly insurmountable.It will be her longtime rival-the very person vying with her for the mayoral seat of a small town-who saves her.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dietro ogni donna c'è una storia. Dietro ogni donna trascurata c'è un desiderio inespresso.In questa raccolta di racconti, cinque donne - mogli, madri, lavoratrici - si ritrovano a confrontarsi con il vuoto lasciato dalla monotonia e dalla disattenzione verso di loro, scoprendo un mondo di emozioni che sfidano il conformismo.Una madre sola sulla spiaggia, ignorata dal marito e dal figlio, si lascia sedurre da un giovane sconosciuto.Una donna che vuole sentirsi speciale alla festa di laurea del figlio, dando di sé un'immagine più giovanile e informale, trova conforto in un'avventura scabrosa dopo essere stata umiliata dai suoi famigliari.Una signora di campagna scopre il doppio gioco del figlio spacciatore di droga nel jet-set e, invece di crollare sotto il peso della rivelazione, reagisce in modo sorprendente.Un'avvocatessa diventa una celebrità nel mondo dell'AI, ma si ritrova al centro di un gioco di potere che la trasforma in una donna nuova e spregiudicata.Una cameriera di un piccolo bar sulla spiaggia, trattata come un oggetto per attirare clienti, impugna il proprio destino con una decisione audace.Con uno stile intimo e provocatorio, Storie sconvenienti di donne trascurate esplora il desiderio, la ribellione e il coraggio di cinque donne capaci di trovare se stesse in un mondo che troppo spesso ignora le loro aspirazioni. Queste storie sconvenienti, urticanti, mettono a fuoco l'attimo esatto in cui le cinque protagoniste reagiscono all'indifferenza, al calcolo e alla poca umanità dei maschi che vivono accanto a loro. Sono avventure erotiche, a volte più esplicite che erotiche, che non hanno la pretesa di stabilire chi ha torto e chi ha ragione, non assolvono né condannano nessuno: piuttosto, si tratta di reazioni a qualcosa che ha offeso la sensibilità della donna in un modo imperdonabile più del solito.Alibi Forse; ma le vicende della signora allo stabilimento balneare, di Giovanna e il gufo, di Claudia, Ilaria e Marianna sembrano essere gesti liberatorii, più che nascondere intenti goderecci e premeditati.…

Tuttavia, Claudia sembra attratta da quel baratro come una falena è attratta dalla fiamma.Mentre Marco fa di tutto per proteggerla, la sua ossessione lo trascina in un abisso psicologico in cui desirio e rifiuto si confondono in un crescendo ingovernabile.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Behind every woman there is a story. Behind every neglect there is an unexpressed desire.In this collection of stories, five women - wives, mothers, workers - find themselves confronted with the void left by monotony and neglect, discovering a world of emotions and possibilities that challenge convention.A mother alone on the beach, ignored by her husband and son, lets herself be seduced by a young stranger.A woman who wants to feel special at her son's graduation party, presenting a more youthful and informal image of herself, finds comfort in a risqué adventure after being humiliated by her family.A country lady discovers the double life of her son, a drug dealer in the jet-set, and instead of collapsing under the weight of the revelation, she reacts in a surprising way.A female lawyer becomes a celebrity in the world of AI, but finds herself at the center of a power game that transforms her into a new and unscrupulous woman.A waitress at a small beach bar, treated as an object to attract customers, takes control of her destiny with a bold decision.With an intimate and provocative style, Unseemly Stories of Neglected Women explores the desire, rebellion and courage of five women who are able to find themselves in a world that too often ignores their aspirations. These unseemly, stinging stories focus on the exact moment when the five female protagonists react to the indifference, calculation, and little humanity of the males living next to them. They are erotic adventures, sometimes more explicit than erotic, that do not pretend to establish who is wrong and who is right, nor do they absolve or condemn anyone: rather, they are reactions to something that has offended women's sensibilities in a way that is more unforgivable than usual.Alibi Perhaps; but the affairs of the lady at the bathhouse, of Giovanna and the owl, of Claudia, Ilaria and Marianna seem to be liberating gestures rather than concealing enjoyably premeditated intents.…
