Story
Tutti noi Montelusani ci sentimmo stringere il cuore, allorchè vedemmo per la prima volta scendere dall’alto e vetusto Palazzo Vescovile, a piedi tra i due segretarii, incontro al sorriso della nostra perenne primavera, lo scheletro intabarrato di questo vescovo nuovo: alto, curvo su la sua trista magrezza, proteso il collo, le tumide e livide labbra in fuori, nello sforzo di tener tutta la faccia incartapecorita, con gli occhialacci neri su l’adunco naso

Story
Non sarò un soldato codardo, no; ma ci andrei molto più volentieri alla scuola, se il maestro ci facesse ogni giorno un racconto come quello di questa mattina. Ogni mese, disse, ce ne farà uno, ce lo darà scritto, e sarà sempre il racconto d’un atto bello e vero, compiuto da un ragazzo. Il piccolo patriotta padovano s’intitola questo. Ecco il fatto. Un piroscafo francese partì da Barcellona, città della Spagna, per Genova, e c’erano a bordo francesi, italiani, spagnuoli, svizzeri. C’era, fra gli altri, un ragazzo di undici anni, mal vestito, solo, che se ne stava sempre in ...

Story
The Kama Sutra, or Aphorisms on Love, has survived at least 1400 years as a dominant text on sexual relations between men and women. Vatsyayana claimed to have written the Kama Sutra while a religious student, “in contemplation of the Deity” - but references to older works, shrewd disputations by Vatsyayana of those authors' recommendations, and careful cataloging of practices in various of the Indian states indicate much more emphasis on kama, or sensual gratification.
