THE FEATHERS OF DEATH

by Simon Raven

$3.75

When Lieutenant Alastair Lynch shoots Malcolm Harley, a young soldier under his command, for desertion in the face of the enemy, it seems that Lynch's action is clearly justified by good activeservice precedent, Accordingly a Court Martial is convened so that Lynein may be formally acquitted of having acted other than in the best interest of the Service.

But evidence is produced about the strength and nature of Lynch's feelings towards the young soldier he has killed, and the subsequent trial, far from being a mere formality, is a strict and cruel investigation of the equivocal relation that had existed between Lynch and Harley....

THE FEATHERS OF DEATH tells how Lynch met Harley and came under his spell, and how Lynch's trial dragged its way to a bitter yet heroic conclusion.

**THE FEATHERS OF DEATH is a first novel of great power and compassion." NEWS CHRONICLE

The Jewel in the Lotus

by Allan Edwardes

$6.50

A comprehensive historical survey of sexual customs and practices of the Orient. Mr. Edwardes' study also includes the Middle East, Abyssinia and the Sudan, and the nomads of the Sahara. Every phase of sexual life is dealt with erosexual, homosexual, autoerotic and bestial. Informative and revealing, THE JEWEL IN THE LOTUS is a contribution to a better understanding of our own attitudes and customs, both because of the underlying universality it discloses and the illuminating contrasts and relationships to our own customs and attitudes.

Sparklingly written and filled with pointed anecdotes, an important feature of this handsome book is a review of the vast and colorful Oriental writings in erotology.

... the author has wisely, I believe, retained the full literary flavor of much of his source material...." Albert Ellis
