Great drama: Niether did John the Baptist have any idea that he would be decapatated over a woman's most hateful scorn just as Adam was destroyed by his beter half's sin. For the approaching seductive deed of that heartless niece of Herod was sure to fill up the long measure of her godless ways. Even Herod would soon discover that her selfish transgressions made the ugliness of her stone cold heart to be hid carefully under the outward beauty of her skin-deep sex appeal. Nor would he see her painted red fingernails as the claws they really were until after it was far too late. So it then came about the next evening, after the feast, that Herodius unexpectedly let Herod know that she had a surprise for him. Therefore she immediately clapped her hands as a signal for Salome to enter into that feasting hall, surrounded by a small multitude of guests, clad in scarlet and purple robes. And to Herod's delight that sultry young woman was all decked out beautifully with seven silk veils, all colors of the rainbow, one layered underneath the preceeding one. But she also knew in advance that she would only be removing four of her seven veils before she ended up her inticing performance, thereby taking Herod to the very edge of the abandonment of his better senses. It was then the seductive moment when that curvy fox began swaying to the dance of the seven veils with the mastery of a well seasoned seductrous. 'Twas additionally the subtle teasing moment of many beckoning twirls, the real flirtatious time of many winking whirls, as well as the R-rated hour of Salome's dress being removed one layer at a time with the expertise of a proffessional belly dancer, deep in the throes of stripping. And as she dipped, jumped, and did some mind blowing splits, Herod began drooling, while his ogling eyes stared at her in utter disbeilief.

'Sexual anarchy' - dire predictions, disasters, apocalypse - became the hallmark of the closing decades of the nineteenth century. The New Woman and the Odd Woman threatened male identity and self-esteem; teh emergence of feminism and homosexuality meant the redefining of masculinity and femininity. This is the terrain which Elaine Showalter explores with such consummate originality and wit. Looking at parallels between the ends of the 19th and 20th centuries and their representations in literature, art and film, she ranges over the trial of Oscar Wilde, the public furore over prostitution and syphilis, moral outrage over the breakdown of the family, abortion rights and AIDS. High and low culture - from male quest romances to contemporary male bonding movies (Heart of Darkness reworked into Apocalypse Now), Freud to Fatal Attraction - all are part of this scholarly and entertaining study of the fin de siecle.

This memoir by an American journalist explores how entrenched notions of self, family, and tribalism dictate human behavior in our modern world. Salome's work as a foreign correspondent, reporting from such places as Belfast, Kabul, Bosnia and Somalia, provided him with a unique perspective on the role nationalism and tribalism play in conflicts around the globe. While sweeping in its scope, the work bears witness to one man's examination of his familial roots and ethnicity, and the ways in which tribalism is found lurking under his own roof. Includes 26 photographs, as well as maps to familiarize readers with some of the world's most misunderstood and volatile regions.

When the prophet Jokanaan is brought to the attention of the princess Salomé, he rebukes her interest, which causes her to make a brutal declaration.Oscar Wilde’s one-act tragedy explores the repercussions of her horrifying decision. Originally composed in French in 1892, Salomé is a controversial tale full of cruelty and retribution. Wilde expands on the Biblical story of John the Baptist, whom was captured and beheaded by Herod Antipas. It explores the interaction between the characters showing Salomé’s spiteful nature and Herod’s growing concern. It’s a bold adaptation of a somber tale that leaves a mark on all who read it. Salomé’s one-act story structure immediately dives into the strange dynamic amongst Herod and his family. Once Salomé’s bloodlust is apparent Herod’s forced to reconcile both of their futures. It’s a haunting drama that’s amplified by its Biblical setting and notable characters. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Salomé is both modern and readable.

If I'd never hoped to live in a world of goodness and truth—if the priestess of Diana, then Leander, and Joanna, hadn't shown me glimpses of it—maybe I wouldn't have minded being shut out of it. Maybe the preacher's death wouldn't have trapped me in a dungeon, the dungeon of my own self. Her name is Salome. You may think you know her story—how her seductive Dance of the Seven Veils led to the beheading of John the Baptist. But you don't know it from her side. You don't know how a web of betrayal, and greed, and desire was spun around an innocent teenage girl. How she came to doubt her own mother. How she searched for a friend in an unfamiliar land. And how she walked into a trap that changed the course of history. This is Salome's story, in her own words. Listen, and learn of strength, of power, of loyalty—and of death.
