Great book about a political idealist who changes his colours and engages in a sexual adventure, this novel by H.G. Wells generated controversy when it was first published in 1911.

book three of the new machiavelli by h.g wells this librivox recording is in the public domain recording by anthony yogas book three the heart of politics chapter nine the riddle for the statesman one i have been planning and re-planning writing and rewriting this next portion of my book for many days i perceive i must leave it raw edged and ill-joined i have learned something of the impossibility of history for all i have had to tell is the story of one man's convictions and aims and how they reacted upon his life and i find it too subtle and involved and intricate for the doing i find it taxes all my powers to convey even the main forms and forces in that development it is like looking through moving media of changing hue and variable refraction at something vitally unstable broad theories and generalizations are mingled with personal influences with prevalent prejudices and not only colored but altered by phases of hopefulness and moods of depression the web is made up of the most diverse elements beyond treatment multitudinous for a week or so i desisted altogether and walked over the mountains and returned to sit through the warm soft mornings among the shaded rocks above this little perched up house of ours discussing my difficulties with isabel and i think on the whole complicating them further in the effort to simplify them to manageable and stateable elements let me nevertheless attempt a rough preliminary analysis of this confused process a main strand is quite easily traceable this main strand is the story of my obvious life my life as it must have looked to most of my acquaintances it presents you with a young couple bright hopeful and energetic starting out under altiora's auspices to make a career you figure us well dressed and active running about in motor cars visiting in great people's houses dining amidst brilliant companies going to the theater meeting in the lobby margaret wore hundreds of beautiful dresses we must have had an air of succeeding meritoriously during that time we did very continually and faithfully serve our joint career i thought about it a great deal and did and refrained from doing ten thousand things for the sake of it i kept up a solicitude for it as it were by inertia long after things had happened and changes occurred in me that rendered its completion impossible under certain very artless pretenses we wanted steadfastly to make a handsome position in the world achieve respect succeed enormous unseen changes have been in progress for years in my mind and the realities of my life before our general circle could have had any inkling of their existence or suspected the appearances of our life then suddenly our proceedings began to be deflected our outward unanimity visibly strained and marred by the insurgents of these so long hidden developments that career had its own hidden side of course but when i write of these unseen factors i do not mean that but something altogether broader i do not mean the everyday pettinesses which gave the cynical observer scope and told of a narrower base or aspect of the fair but limited ambitions of my ostensible self this sub-careerist element noted little things that affected the career made me suspicious of the rivalry of so and so propitiatory to so and so whom as a matter of fact i didn't respect or feel in the least sympathetic towards guarded with that man who for all his charm and interest wasn't helpful and a little touchy at the appearance of neglect from that no i mean something greater and not something smaller when i write of a hidden life in the ostensible self who glowed under the approbation of alteora bailey and was envied and discussed praised and depreciated in the house and in smoking room gossip you really have as much of a man as usually...

autoeroticism a study of the spontaneous manifestations of the sexual impulse part 1 section 1 of studies in the psychology of sex volume 1 by havelock ellis this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org read by christopher moss autoeroticism a study of the spontaneous manifestations of the sexual impulse part 1 section 1. by autoeroticism i mean the phenomena of spontaneous sexual emotion generated in the absence of an external stimulus proceeding directly or indirectly from another person in a wide sense which cannot be wholly ignored here autoeroticism may be said to include those transformations of repressed sexual activity which are a factor of some morbid conditions as well as of the normal manifestation of art and poetry and indeed more or less color the whole life such a definition excludes the normal sexual excitement aroused by the presence of a beloved person of the opposite sex it also excludes the perverted sexuality associated with an attraction to the person of the same sex it further excludes the manifold forms of erotic fetishism in which the normal focus of sexual attraction is displaced and voluptuous emotions are aroused only by some object hair shoes garments etc which to the ordinary lover are of subordinate though still indeed considerable importance the autoerotic field remains extensive it ranges from occasional voluptuous daydreams in which the subject is entirely passive to the perpetual unashamed efforts that sexual self-manipulation witnessed among the insane it also includes though chiefly as curiosities those cases in which individuals fall in love with themselves among autoerotic phenomenon or on the borderland we must further include those religious sexual manifestations for an ideal object of which we may find evidence in the lives of saints and ecstatics the typical form of autoeroticism is the occurrence of the sexual orgasm during sleep i do not know that any apology is needful for the invention of the term auto erotism there is no existing word and current use to indicate the whole range of phenomena i am here concerned with we are familiar with masturbation but that strictly speaking only covers a special and arbitrary subdivision of the field although it is true the subdivision with which physicians and alienists have chiefly occupied themselves self-abuse is somewhat wider but by no means covers the whole ground while for various reasons it is an unsatisfactory term onanism is largely used especially in france and some writers even include all forms of homosexual connection under this name it may be convenient to do so from a physiological point of view but it is a confusing and antiquated mode of procedure and from the psychological standpoint altogether illegitimate onan ism ought never to be used in this connection if only on the ground that onan's device was not autoerotic but an early example of withdrawal before emission or coitus interruptus while the name that i have chosen may possibly not be the best there should be no question as to the importance of grouping all these phenomena together it seems to me that this field has rarely been viewed in a scientifically sound and morally sane light simply because it has not been viewed as a whole we have made it difficult so to view it by directing our attention on the special group of autoerotic facts that group included under masturbation which was most easy to observe and which in an extreme form came plainly under medical...
