I know all of you guys recognize the name Anne Rice. After all, the name just happens to be accepted as a synonym to suspense-thriller novels, particularly the Vampire series(which we will likewise try to squeeze in here as soon as we have the time).

Anne Rice has written countless bestselling novels and many have been adopted into films. Though I haven’t really read anything written by Rice, this series we are featuring in the next couple of entries here at intexblogger.com, hands-down is the most intriguing of all. I’m referring to the Sleeping Beauty series by Rice, but this one is no ordinary story based on the fairy tale of the same title. It’s the strangest version of Sleeping Beauty that I’ve ever seen and why do I say that? Because its the only Sleeping Beauty that has ventured unabashedly, into the erotica genre. I was just flabbergasted at how Rice could create such a unique story-bordering-pornographic novel but maybe its just my limited and ignorant thinking.

Anyway, just as always, I leave the judgment to you.

BOOK INFORMATION:

Title: The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, Book 1: The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
Author: Anne Rice (a.k.a. A. N. Roquelaure)
ISBN-13: 9780452281424
Published Date: May 1999
Publisher: Knopf Publishing Group

Synopsis:

Anne Rice writing as A. N. Roquelaure. In the traditional folk tale “Sleeping Beauty,” the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. Anne Rice’s retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire.

About the author:

Vampires hadn’t had much of an original treatment since Bram Stoker; so when Anne Rice unveiled her Interview with the Vampire and its subsequent companions, she reinvented a subgenre and attracted rabid fans. Her intense, often melodramatic stories are not for cynics, but no one has injected such modern spice and interest into the occult.

PREFACE: The international conference How does the Galaxy work? A galactic tertulia with Don Cox and Ron Reynolds, was held during the week of 23rd to27th of June 2003 in the marvelous city of Granada, Spain. This week marked the beginning of one of the hottest summers that we have ever lived, but in contrast, the meeting was one of the coolest events that we can remember! First, it certainly was a first class scientific reunion, with an excellent program, talented speakers, and alive discussions in a friendly atmosphere. Second, the whole event was embedded in the passionate And a Lucian way of life, a true tertulia, well seasoned with tasty tapas and perfectly marinated in cool and dry sherry wine. Third, the celebration was framed by some of the most beautiful settings that one can imagine; we enjoyed the magnificent splendor of the Alhambra, the unique Muslim-Jewish-Christian flavor of the Albaicin, and the magical gipsy heartbeat of Sacromonte. Last but not least, all discussions, whether they were during the sessions or at a bar table,we re sprinkled with the charm and with of the two guests of honor:

Don Cox and Ron Reynolds. The idea of having a scientific feast to celebrate their 60th birthday in Granada was actually conceived at a bar table in Seville, with plenty of manzanilla at hand, a couple of summers ago. That, perhaps, was the difficult part of the project. The rest was relatively easy to achieve because Don and Ron are not only remarkable astronomers but they are also great human beings. Indeed, we had a very positive response from all parties involved: every person we talked to was enthusiastic about the celebration, and wanted to give their own point of view in this tertulia. By the way, the Spanish word “tertulia” means a friendly get together, or a session, in which all ideas can be aired. It is a moment of song and poetry and wit in conversation.

There were 120 participants, more than 25% of which were women, and a large fraction of them were young scientists. The conference was aimed at revising our conceptions on the present state and evolution of our Galaxy, both at large and small scales. The Milky Way is a massive spiral and has many structural features that, while interesting on their own, interactively play significant roles in continuously reshaping it and determining its fate: a central black hole, an internal bar structure, magnetic fields, molecular and atomic gas, giant star formation regions, stellar population gradients and aggregations, and a rotation curve indicative of a dominant dark matter component. The ultimate task one can envision is to construct a self-consistent picture of galaxy evolution, but the actual and more humble goal in this meeting was to evaluate our understanding about the role of the thick interstellar gaseous disk in the context of large-scale galactic processes.

Ron Reynolds and associates have mapped and derived the details of the thick layer of ionized gas in our Galaxy. Their results are far reaching and have important consequences about the properties of the general interstellar medium because this gas, which is excited by stellar energy, is not only following the gravitational field of the Galaxy, but perhaps is also responding to the general magnetic field. From the theoretical point of view, on the other side, Don Cox and collaborators have pioneered investigations into the large-scale influences of supernovae on the structure and dynamics of the interstellar medium, and shown that the thick disk can be in magneto hydrodynamic equilibrium, in a time-averaged sense, as long as it is supported by magnetic fields, cosmic rays, and turbulent pressure. Thick gaseous disks have now been observed in many edge-on galaxies, and a good number of issues relating them with our own thick disk have been reviewed in this conference. This is well reflected in the present book, that contains the invited talks and most of the contributed papers. By the way, Steve Shore and Bruce Elmegreen were unable to come to Granada during the festivities, but they joined us in the celebration with a very touching personal letter (Bruce) and a very fine paper on the history of the Milky Way research (Steve). We thank both of them for their nice contributions, which are also included in this book.

We warmly thank the rest of the Scientific Organizing Committee, Rainer Beck, Bob Benjamin, Yo-Hua Chu, Ralf Dettmar, Bruce Elmegreen, Carl Heiles, Katia Ferrière, Isabelle Grenier, Marco Martos, Casiana Muñoz, John Raymond, Wilt Sanders, Steve Shore, and Chema Torrelles, for their help in preparing the scientific program. We are also indebted to our Local Organizing Committee, Antxon Alberdi, Antonio Delgado, Mariano Domenicone, Martín Guerrero, Paco Rendón, Rafael Rodrigo, Pepe Ruedas, and Pepe Vílchez; they were very efficient in solving all the details of this conference. Very special thanks go to Susana Gómez and Fina Molina from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, and to our energetic young LOC team, María Aldaya, Beni Cantero, Daniel Espada-Fernández, Silbia López-Lacalle, David Martín-Gordón, Tony Mee, and Daniel Reverte-Payá, for making this a trouble-free event.

Finally, we thank the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología of Spain, CSIC, Junta de Andalucia, Diputación de Granada, Ayuntamiento de Granada, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, Instituto de Astronomía – UNAM (México), and Sociedad Española de Astronomía (SEA) for their generous financial support which made this conference possible.

Title: Secret Series, Book 1: The Name of This Book is Secret
Author: Pseudonymous Bosch
ISBN-13: 978-0316113694
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Published: September 2008

Synopsis:

From Booklist:

In enormous lettering the first page warns: “Do not read beyond this page!” The reason? The book contains a secret so nefarious as to be dangerous even to innocent page-turners daring enough to venture forth. The first few chapters present a tricky little exercise in metafiction in which the story about a secret is revealed as being itself too secret to tell, a ploy sure to tickle more puzzlesome readers. But then the intrusive narrator, who is equal parts snarky and delightful, strikes a deal and deigns to tell the story with fake names in Your Hometown, as long as you agree to “forget everything you read as soon as you read it.” Then follows a not terribly shocking story wherein two intrepid kids uncover a mysterious society bent on immortality, which gets them in and out of all manner of trouble. While some may be disappointed that there is no mind-bending secret at the bottom of it all as promised, most junior Da Vinci Coders will likely be having too much fun to notice.

Title: Eleven Minutes
Author: Paulo Coelho
ISBN-13: 978-0060589271
Publisher: HarperCollins
Published: March 2004

From Publishers Weekly:

“Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria”-thus begins Coelho’s latest novel, a book that cannot decide whether it wants to be fairy tale or saga of sexual discovery, so ends up satisfying the demands of neither. In his dedication, bestselling Brazilian novelist Coelho (The Alchemist) tells readers that his book will deal with issues that are “harsh, difficult, shocking,” but neither his tame forays into S&M nor his rather technical observations about female anatomy and the sad but hardly new fact that many women are dissatisfied with their sex lives will do much to shock American readers. In Maria, however, the author has created a strong, sensual young woman who grabs our sympathy from the first, as she suffers unrequited love as a child, learns a bit about sex as a teenager and, at 19, makes the ill-advised decision to leave Rio on a Swedish stranger’s promise of fame and fortune. Maria’s trials and triumphs-she goes from restaurant dancer to high-class prostitute-would make for an entertaining if rather prosaic novel, but Coelho, unfortunately, does not leave it there. Instead, he embarks on a philosophical exploration of sexual love, using Maria’s increasingly ponderous and pseudo-philosophical diary entries as a means for expounding on the nature of sexual desire, passion and love. At the end, the story boils down to a rather predictable romance tarted up with a few sexy trappings.
