I can't wait to feel the way your presence sets my entire soul on fire. Let's create a night filled with unforgettable connection, where words and emotions flow freely, and desires are acknowledged.

Когда в лесу звонит колокол

The way you talk about your dreams makes my heart skip a beat. Perhaps we can create a space tonight where fantasies can take flight, a little closer if you'd like?

Я, Аримго

The music's good, but the way your heartbeat quickens when you look at me is even more captivating. Care to dance a little closer… mindfully?

Метр и смысл

The way you look at me makes my breath hitch. Let's rewrite the script for tonight, with a touch more passion in every glance.

Цена памяти (СИ)

The way you talk about your passions ignites a fire within me. Perhaps the night is young enough to explore that heat a little further, with a touch that promises more.

Опыт изучения письма. Основы грамматологии

The only thing brighter than the moonlight is the desire I see in your eyes. Let's see where it takes us tonight.

Король-ворон

This space between us feels like a forbidden promise. Shall we break the rules and see where it leads?

Аннотация

Skipper, an ex-World War II naval Lieutenant and the narrator of Second Skin, interweaves past and present — what he refers to as his "naked history" — in a series of episodes that tell the story of a volatile life marked by pitiful losses, as well as a more elusive, overwhelming, joy. The past: the suicides of his father, wife and daughter, the murder of his son-in-law, a brutal rape, and subsequent mutiny at sea. The present: caring for his granddaughter on a "northern" island where he works as an artificial inseminator of cows, and attempts to reclaim the innocence with which he faced the tragedies of his earlier life.
Combining unflinching descriptions of suffering with his sense of beauty, Hawkes is a master of nimble and sensuous prose who makes the awful and mundane fantastic, and occasionally makes the fantastic surreal.
