George Ives fue un poeta y escritor cuya obra profundizó en temas como el crimen, el castigo, la psicología de género y la homosexualidad, a menudo documentado a través de extensos álbumes de recortes. Fue un dedicado reformador penal y un temprano defensor de los derechos de los homosexuales, haciendo campaña activamente por la "Causa" para acabar con la opresión de los homosexuales. La escritura y la vida personal de Ives estuvieron profundamente entrelazadas con su activismo social. Acumuló un importante archivo de la obra de su vida, que refleja sus multifacéticos intereses.
In this provocative work, George Ives explores the complex role of eros in human life, challenging conventional wisdom about the nature of love and desire. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical and literary sources, Ives offers a bold new vision of human sexuality and its place in the world.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
