Nancy Friday Knihy

Nancy Friday patří k nejkontroverznějším postavám sexuální revoluce. Její kniha My Secret Garden (česky Moje tajemná zahrada, 1998) z roku 1973 se stala bestselerem. V Sexu bez zábran se věnuje tabuizovaným erotickým fantaziím a tužbám, které dnes díky bezbřehým možnostem, jež nabízí internet, mohou lidé lépe rozvíjet nebo sdílet s někým dalším.Při čtení knihy se, slovy jedné americké recenze, „budete trochu červenat a zrychlí se vám tep... Je to vzrušující četba. Ale copak život není vzrušující? A pokud ten váš není, čtěte pomalu.“

Autorka bestselleru Moje tajemná zahrada pokračuje ve své nové knize Zakázané ovoce v odhalování ženských erotických fantazií. Se svými fantaziemi se jí svěřily samy čtenářky, z jejichž dopisů vznikla kniha, která ukazuje, že se ženy za své fantazie nemusí stydět. Jak říká jedna čtenářka: „Až doposud jsem musela před manželem své touhy skrývat, teď už vím, že erotické touhy mají všechny ženy a že se nemám za co stydět!“ Jen v Evropě se už prodalo milion výtisků této knihy. CO BY VÁM ŘEKL MANŽEL NEBO MILENEC, KDYBYSTE SE PŘIZNALA, ŽE HO MILUJTE, ALE VZRUŠUJE VÁS JEŠTĚ NĚKDO JINÝ?

Na základě dopisů a rozhovorů s různými typy žen o jejich erotických a milostných představách se autorka pokusila sestavit tuto knihu. Ženy se v nich otevřeně vyznávají ze svých skrytých tužeb, které ve většině případech nemohou uskutečnit.

A narrative of one woman's research into and search for jealousy in her own life, how she came to deal with it, and suggestions for others on how to handle jealousy in your own life.

Being the daughter of a pastor, Erica Collins never got a chance to live a normal life. When she lost her mother at a very young age, she questioned her faith in the Lord. Pastor Collins tried to rescue her faith by tying her everyday life even more closely to the church. Now 21 years old, Erica's only escape from her father and his Bible is when she hooks up with her best friend, Nicole. She finds a little freedom through Nicole's wild stories, with most of them being about her boyfriend, Mekco. Erica is all in, craving the attention and the lifestyle that Nicole has. Mekco is the leader of The Detroit Brick Boyz. Now that his best friend and the former leader of the crew, Pierre AKA P, is out of jail, Mekco is ready to put his boy back on without stepping down as the leader. Before getting knocked, Pierre was used to living the fast lifestyle and making money. After he's released, he is introduced to the beautiful Erica Collins. Once Erica enters his life, he questions if he has been living wrong all along. He soon finds himself falling for a young lady who didn't have any business looking his way. He wants to do right by her, but pursuing his position as the leader of the Brick Boyz and dealing with snakes from the past cause him to push her away. This pastor's daughter has some choices to make. Does she return to the flock, or fully enter the world of these kingpins?

Nancy Friday's international bestsellers My Secret Garden and Forbidden Flowers revealed that women possess erotic imaginations at least as inventive and powerful as those of men. Women on Top looks at a new generation of women and asks: what are women's sexual fantasies today? How have they responded to the changes brought about by feminism? In a world wallpapered with erotic images, but which still denies them full sexual freedom, women are more determined than ever that they'll be 'nice girls' no longer. Explicit, iconoclastic, often shocking, these erotic daydreams - angry, lustful, tender and dark - blow apart the old taboos. Nothing is forbidden.

This pioneering book by the author of Women on Top plays a major role in our understanding of the powerful influence the mother/daughter bond has on a woman's identity, her relationships with men, and her self-esteem. Through candid self-disclosure and hundreds of interviews, Nancy Friday investigates this feminine legacy and reveals the conflicting feelings of anger, hate, and love that daughters hold for their mothers.

This is a book about men who love women. But it is not a collection of love stories. It is a study of the secret, erotic fantasies that men have always kept hidden, a taboo-shattering investigation that reveals the deepest, most conflicting feelings that men have about women, men and their own sexuality. Men in Love goes beyond the socio-sexual cliché of woman seen as either madonna or whore to reveal the conflict of love and rage at the centre of men's emotions and erotic desires. Based on thousands of candid responses from men ranging from their teens to their sixties, Men in Love - startling and shocking - will change men's deepest feelings about their sexuality and make the women who care about them understand them as never before.

Using her own life story as a springboard, Nancy Friday traces the past 25 years of changes in women's attitudes about self-esteem, appearance, and sexuality. Enormously fun to read.--New York Times Book Review.
