The book was a pleasant surprise. Not only was it tasteful, it was delightful.This is a fun read, either for leisurely reading a minute here, a page there, or for sitting down for some concentrated reading. Anyone with the entire series should have a grand time learning just how much fun a bit of sin can be.
Amorous passion down through time.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Eileen Morgan's Lust, Love And Longing is the newest addition to the Red Rock Press "Sin Series" and reveals in a compendium of literature, quotes, poetry and illustrations how gods and mortals, royalty and peasants, mystics and cynics have viewed amorous passion down through time. Lust, Love And Longing presents affairs that altered history, sizzling movie moments, and parables of animal mating as it explores the height and depth, breath and scope, delicacy and demands of a very pervasive, strong and human emotion. Also highly recommended is the first title in the "Sin Series", Nan Lyons' Gluttony: More Is More.
Informative, entertaining and gift-worthy.

"Lust, Love and Longing" by Eileen Morgan satisfied me on many levels, the scholarly, the aesthetic, and the sybaritic. It covers all bases from the history of lust and the great lovers and objects of desire to the more mundane subject of "how the birds and bees do it." Included are well-chosen illustrations and pictures, all evocative of the theme. "Lust" could be used as a reference book or as an inspiration.
A lot more fun than "Great trains of ____".

This is a coffee table book that's a lot more fun than the usual "Great trains of ___". I mean, where else can you find the right words to the "Hard Pecker Reel"? You find yourself leafing through pages for more saucy little stories like how Benin women prepare for a hot date, or how banana slugs do it AC/DC. It has some good photographs and poems and I'd recommend it to anyone over 16 with a sense of humor
