Produktbeschreibung
Frank Harris' autobiographical book "My Life and Loves" was released in four volumes. The book offers a thorough description of Harris's sexual encounters and love encounters throughout the course of his life, beginning with his early years in Ireland and covering his time in the US and Europe. Each chapter of the book, which is separated into sections, examines a particular connection or experience. Harris describes his interactions with women from many walks of life, including prostitutes, actors, and society ladies, in a direct and sometimes graphic style. Harris also focuses on his personal and philosophical views throughout the book, notably in regard to morality, love, and sex. He contends that having sexual desires is a normal and healthy element of being a person, and that society's rigid moral and behavior norms often work to suppress and suffocate this component of our existence. Although the book was divisive when it was first published, it is now recognized as a significant contribution to the study of human sexuality and the history of sexual liberation.
Autorenporträt
Irish-born novelist, editor, and journalist Frank Harris lived from 1855 to 1931. He began his journalistic career in Chicago as a criminal reporter before moving to London, where he gained notoriety as a writer. Numerous important periodicals, such as "The Evening News" and "The Fortnightly Review," were edited by Harris. He wrote non-fiction, short stories, and novels in addition to being a prolific novelist. One of his most well-known works is "My Life and Loves," an autobiography in which he detailed his innumerable sexual escapades. Harris was recognized for his openness and readiness to broach delicate themes. He was a vocal advocate for sexual liberation and women's rights, and his art often showed this. Augustus John, Oscar Wilde, and George Bernard Shaw were all among Harris's favorite writers and painters. Harris was constantly the subject of discussion and doubt despite his accomplishments. Others criticized the explicit nature of his writing, and others charged him with sensationalism and self-promotion. However, Harris continues to play a significant role in literature and journalism history.
