Over 100 years ago the infamous Haymarket affair in Chicago pierced the world with news of what would now be characterized as “terrorist violence.” In the Haymarket incident, a bomb killed police gathered to club and maul labor protesters. And although the police could not find the man who threw the bomb, labor and anarchist leaders were found guilty in a notoriously ugly trial, and several were actually hanged.Frank Harris’ novel comes from the point-of-view of the uncaught bomb-thrower, a German immigrant in love with the extreme political tactics of the notorious anarchist Louis Lingg.The Feral House edition of The Bomb contains an afterword by anarchist thinker John Zerzan, and an anti-anarchist introduction by novelist John Dos Passos.“This book is, in truth, a masterpiece; so intense is the impression that one almost asks, ‘Is this a novel or confession? Did not Frank Harris perhaps throw the bomb?’ At least he has thrown one now… the best novel I have ever read.”— Aleister Crowley, occultist

"Kiss me, my love, and go if you must. Shall I see you tomorrow? There!" she cried as with a curse, "I've given myself away: I can't help it; oh, how I want you always: how I shall long for you and count the dull dreary hours! Go, go or I'll never let you-" and she kissed and clung to me to the door. "Sweet-tomorrow!" I said, and tore off. Of course it is manifest that my liaison with Mrs. Mayhew had little or nothing to do with love. It was demoniac youthful sex-urge in me and much the same hunger in her, and as soon as the desire was satisfied my judgment of her was as impartial, cool as if she had always been indifferent to me. But with her I think there was a certain attachment and considerable tenderness. In intimate relations between the sexes it is rare indeed that the man gives as much to love as the woman. Frank Harris is one of America's literary luminaries, and whether you consider him a Walter Mittyesque fantasist or a man who wrote just as he lived, there is no doubt that he had a very extraordinary life indeed. In his four volume work My Life and Loves he recounts with unrestrained abandon how he went from English School border to deck hand, to rancher, and then from student to Lawyer. And at every turn of his life how he falls head over heels in lust with a bevy of naive but eager beauties. Whether it be the wife of his employer, or the daughter of another, young or old, black or white, Frank does not discriminate when it comes to enjoying the many fruits of his labors. Lilly, Rose, Mrs. Mayhew and Sophy are about to get a very thorough education from a very keen and knowledgeable young man of the world. Mixing historical fact with a sprinkling of artistic license, Frank Harris paints a romantic picture of the late nineteenth century booming USA, where ambition knew no limits and money could buy anyone and anything. Between rubbing shoulders with figures such as Walt Whitman, and witnessing the Great Fire of Chicago, Frank regales use in the lewdest of couplings in a wonderfully graphic prose that bounds along at the insatiable pace of its protagonist and author. Locus Elm Press is proud to present this first volume, considerately presented and carefully edited for your reading pleasure. Volumes II, III, and IV, coming soon.

The chronicle of the life of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata is fascinating by reason of its impersonal approach, its old-world flavour and accent. It is for this reason that the publishers have not revised the text.The central protagonist of the chronicle can rank among the greatest pioneers of industrial enterprise of all time. In industrial matters he used 'a giant's strength like a giant'. His performance is unparalleled in India.Jamsetji Tata laid the foundations and largely consolidated the position of Indian industry and enterprise. In Indian industry the terms 'integrity' and 'Tata' are synonymous, with the result that the House of Tata and its far-flung organization have the stamp of stability, security and success. It was not an easy success and there is at no stage in its development any trace of the nouveau-riche make-up.

No longer available.Offers an impressionistic and unconventional portrait of a man of genius - or, rather, of qualified genius - and a man of talent. This work provides a portrait of George Bernard Shaw.

Volume III of the series, published in 1927, offers Harris and his account of time with the rich and powerful. Some of this story might even be true. There are still numerous women, and one or two bad marriages.

Volume II of the series begins with Harris in Russia, and serves as prima facie evidence for anyone who believes Harris was the model for Harry Flashman. However this book, longest by far of the series, delves into Harris' days in London Society, where his position as renowned editor gave him a front-row seat before many of the greats of the period. Still has tons of sex, but a bit less than the first installment.

Yet my virtue was destined to suffer one defeat. One evening, a girl we had met, who was almost completely white, was encouraged by Karl to come nude to my bed. I was tossing about asleep in the night when she came and laid down beside me, or rather on me. The heat of her body had excited me before I even awoke, and before I was fully conscious I was enjoying her. I felt no disappointment when I saw her: I have seen Italian girls with darker skins and coarser features; but I cannot say that she gave me any extraordinary thrill. Yet, she did her best and the game of love to her was the best game in the world. She delighted in teaching me all the Swahili terms for the sex and for sensual pleasures. And when I used them she would scream with enjoyment. This girl was rather intelligent, and so I asked her about sexual perversions. She seemed to think there was nothing in them, that naturally all human beings took what pleasure they could get whenever they could get it. Frank Harris is one of America's literary luminaries, and whether you consider him a Walter Mittyesque fantasist or a man who wrote just as he lived, there is no doubt that he had a very extraordinary life indeed. In Volume IV of his work My Life and Loves he recounts with unrestrained abandon how he fell in love with literature and writing, how he explored the mysterious continent of Africa, and the many young women he had the pleasure of laying with. Mixing historical fact with a sprinkling of artistic license, Frank Harris paints a romantic picture of late nineteenth century Europe and Africa, where adventure and discovery lie beyond every bend and curve. Between rubbing shoulders with figures such as Oscar Wilde, and Emile Zola, Frank as always regales us in the most shocking of seductions, the most vigorous of couplings, and voyeuristic group-menages in a wonderfully graphic prose that bounds along at the insatiable pace of its protagonist and author. Locus Elm Press is proud to present this first volume, considerately presented and carefully edited for your reading pleasure. Volumes I, II, and III, also available.

Culled from an unfinished Frank Harris manuscript by Maurice Girodias (with help from Alexander Trocchi), this latest title in the series offers more of Harris' epic life and erotic adventures, with a measure of sexing up that Girodias himself attempts to justify in the preface. The work is An Irreverent Treatment, while in later editions, Girodias renamed the work What Frank Harris Did Not Say. There are some who feel Trocchi wrote a better Autobiography than Harris himself did.

This is a tale of skill in the bullring, love, deceit, jealousy and death. The portrait of a bullfighter's life and professional concerns is convincing, as is the love story woven around it.

This edition presents the biography of the famous Irish writer, poet and dramatist, written by his friend Frank Harris. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, Wilde became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays and poetry, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Wilde is a central figure in aesthetic writing. His controversial, open lifestyle was the reason he was charged and eventually convicted for the crime of sodomy.

In 1894, Oscar Wilde came up with the scenario for a play. The key scene is one in which a woman is alone resting in a darkened room when her husband and his mistress Lady X enter and begin a love scene. The husband of Lady X is then heard shouting angrily at the door, whereupon to the surprise of the lovers, the wife turns on the light and admits him, making some excuse about keeping Lady X up with 'an experiment in thought reading'. The wife leaves her husband and goes to live with her own lover. The husband and her lover are due to fight a duel, but the husband begs her to return to him. She refuses him and in the process lets slip she is pregnant by her lover. The husband, filled with despair, shoots himself.

Before this, however, early in the summer that followed the death of my mother, I went for the first time to see a bull-fight. My father wanted me to go, and my sister, too; so I went. I shall never forget that day. The chulos made me laugh, they skipped about so and took such extra-good care of themselves; but the banderilleros interested me. Their work required skill and courage, that I saw at once; but after they had planted the banderillas twice, I knew how it was done, and felt I could do it just as well or better. For the third or fourth banderillero made a mistake

Excerpt from Contemporary Portraits Second SeriesHe is far more than impartial; he knows that his description must be so perfectly accurate that another biologist ten thousand miles away should be able to classify the bird from it as well as if he had the bird before him. How many literary critics are there who reach such high detachment and show such scrupulous care?

[...] "Let's make up for it now, Loo. May I call you Loo?" While speaking he slipped his arm round her waist, and kissed her again and again. "That's my name. But there! I guess you've made up enough already." And Miss Conklin disengaged herself. On reaching the house, however, she offered her lips before getting out of the buggy. When alone in his bedroom, Bancroft sat and thought. The events of the evening had been annoying. Miss Loo's conduct had displeased him; he did not like familiarity. He would not acknowledge to himself that he was jealous. The persistent way Stevens had tried to puzzle her had disgusted him-that was all.[...].

Frank Harris' autobiographical book "My Life and Loves" was released in four volumes. The book offers a thorough description of Harris's sexual encounters and love encounters throughout the course of his life, beginning with his early years in Ireland and covering his time in the US and Europe. Each chapter of the book, which is separated into sections, examines a particular connection or experience. Harris describes his interactions with women from many walks of life, including prostitutes, actors, and society ladies, in a direct and sometimes graphic style. Harris also focuses on his personal and philosophical views throughout the book, notably in regard to morality, love, and sex. He contends that having sexual desires is a normal and healthy element of being a person, and that society's rigid moral and behavior norms often work to suppress and suffocate this component of our existence. Although the book was divisive when it was first published, it is now recognized as a significant contribution to the study of human sexuality and the history of sexual liberation.
