Synopsis
Men are naturally omnisexual and from the most ancient times they have bonded, intellectually and physically under the Greeks, a trend that continued through the Romans until the advent of Christianity and its denaturing effect over the minds of men, as symbolized by Savonarola and his bonfire of the vanities, where even many of the works of the sublime Botticelli went up in smoke, cast into the flames by Botticelli himself. But male bonding, with or without sexual release, is staging a comeback, as witnessed by Australian mateship and French matelotage, both thoroughly covered herein. This book is devoted to the men who lived intense male friendships, male bonding limited to the sheer pleasure of sharing and complicity, the ease of instant understanding due to the similarity in upbringing and body. It is comradeship that has as its foundation the happiness of being with another, in which sexuality may play no role whatsoever. It's the buddy in war who will die for his companion-in-arms, in the pure tradition of the Theban Sacred Band and the Spartan 300 who saved the world from barbarism at the Thermopylae. This book will cover the lives of History's greatest friendships, their sexuality an ingredient as it is in life itself, whether it be heterosexual, homosexual or omnisexual. Often one of the men was homosexual, as in the case of Herman Melville whose heterosexual companion was Nathaniel Hawthorne. Often both men were heterosexual, as was Jack Renton, stranded for nine years on the island of Malaita with his cannibal best friend Kwaisulia. Houdini and Conan Doyle were inseparable heterosexual brothers until spirits from the beyond split them apart. Abraham Lincoln had several close companions, with whom he shared beds for an overall seven years. The Australian Kelly Gang was built on male loyalty, and it was Steve Hart who put a bullet in the head of Dan Kelly, his inseparable mate, before shooting himself.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
