It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham," wrote Gore Vidal. "He was always so entirely there."        Originally published in 1915, Of Human Bondage is a potent expression of the power of sexual obsession and of modern man's yearning for freedom. This classic bildungsroman tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life. There is no more powerful story of sexual infatuation, of human longing for connection and freedom.        "Here is a novel of the utmost importance," wrote Theodore Dreiser on publication. "It is a beacon of light by which the wanderer may be guided. . . . One feels as though one were sitting before a splendid Shiraz of priceless texture and intricate weave, admiring, feeling, responding sensually to its colors and tones."With an Introduction by Jane Smiley.

Prepare yourself! Things are never quite what they seem to be and here are nine different stories of domination to prove it. In each tale, some poor, unsuspecting females encounter men who have really only on thing on their mind: to subjugate the females and to enjoy doing it.

She wants to be tied, strapped, plugged, gagged, blindfolded and sealed in a cocoon. She gets what she wants. Maybe more than she wants.

After graduating from the Army's first academy for female officers, where the intention had been nothing much more than to "train" young women to be assistants and submissive playthings for senior officers, Jodie Lawrence's unique ability at military strategy and her resulting promotion all the way to the rank of Lieutenant General upset some other high-ranking officers. Perhaps it was inevitable that there would be a backlash, but no one expected that some of the former officers, already compelled to take retirement after trying to discredit the Academy for female officers, would actually try to stage a coup. For Jodie, arrested on false charges but escaping with the help of some of her former academy colleagues (among others), it was a nightmare. There were those who were determined to keep women "in their proper place" (preferably tied, helpless, in pain and available for anything), or dispose of them altogether.
