The History Of The Rod

The History Of The Rod

First published in 2005. The line between pain and pleasure is as thin as the tail of a whip, and this classic work is the definitive history of flagellation through the ages. As it shows, flagellation is much more than a punishment - it is also intimately tied to discipline and eroticism, has a romantic and even comic side, and has also been used for medical purposes. No one is above the bite of the birch or rod - convent nuns were chastised severely, queens have been flogged, and even favourites of the sultan have had to endure the whip in the great seraglios. The author deals in great detail with whipping in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, the favourite parts of the body for whipping, flagellation and discipline in monasteries and convents, whipping in prisons, the rod in Russia, flagellation in America, whipping in Europe and the Far East, the flogging of slaves, military flogging, school punishments and the birch in the boudoir, all enlivened with colourful anecdotes. There is a chapter on the instruments of whipping, a selection of ribald and erotic poems on whipping, a section on eccentric forms of whipping such as that practised on prostitutes, many detailed line drawings, descriptive accounts and a full index. The work shows the fundamental place whipping has always played in human history, both publicly and in private, and continues to play today.

Timothy Flynn Farrell is a cocky Marine War hero from the Gulf War. The only reason he came back to North Conway, New Hampshire was to see his mother. The town hadn’t treated him fairly since he was a child but his mother loved the area. As a good son, he would come back for her sake. But life offers it’s own plan for him. Nothing happens the way he expected, but he also learns that perhaps nothing happened the way history had called it. The real story covers the way his character had prepared him for the challanges that lie in wait. As you follow him keep in mind that the more things change the more they stay the same.Author Biography: Jack Rossate is a relative newcomer to the publishing arena. Still involved in a career in manufacturing, Jack’s first novel, "DECEIT" has created an interest in his future works. This second work, "The Hot Rod Lincoln" is a novel that he spent nearly 10 years working on. Jack has endured the snide comments of his friends as they met, summer after summer, awaiting this book to read on the beach. His greatest regret in striving for accuracy with this book is that a few of the old timers in the North Conway area didn’t last long enough to see themselves and their strong character captured for posterity. As Jack researched the records of Carroll County, he was amazed at what these men accomplished. You will be too. Watch for the follow-up in "Search to Witness" and "Justice in Carroll County."
