"A quick and delightful read." -Maria Popova, The Marginalian America's Master Humorist on Masturbation One evening in Paris, 1879, Mark Twain rose to the podium and tackled the touchiest of subjects: masturbation. His remarks rubbed Victorian society the wrong way and were censored for over a century. Here, at long last, is Twain's hilarious lecture on "The Science of Onanism." This book includes 30 vintage illustrations and an introduction by Sam Torode, author of The Dirty Parts of the Bible.

Revolutionary Ideas Rephrased for Today In Everyday Emerson, bestselling author Sam Torode rephrases the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson in contemporary language. The goal is to make Emerson's wisdom applicable to our daily lives, showing that Transcendentalism isn't a relic of the past--it's a way of thinking and seeing the world that's still valid and vital. This book covers Emerson's pathbreaking early lectures, featuring full paraphrases of "The American Scholar," "The Divinity School Address," "The Transcendentalist," and more. It also includes paraphrased excerpts from Emerson's speeches advocating for social reform, the abolition of slavery, and women's rights. Sam Torode's introduction and notes provide an overview of Emerson's life and major themes, and explore the relevance of his philosophy today. Everyday Emerson can be read on its own, or as an aid to studying the original works. This is the first book in a series which also includes: Living from the Soul: The 7 Spiritual Principles of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Secrets of the Mind: Ralph Waldo Emerson's Keys to Expansive Mental Powers.
