The Gouda Windows (1552–1572): Art and Catholic Renewal on the Eve of the Dutch Revolt offers the first complete analysis of the cycle of monumental Renaissance stained-glass windows donated to the Sint Janskerk in Gouda, after a fire gutted it in 1552. Central among the donors were King Philip II of Spain and Joris van Egmond, Bishop of Utrecht, who worked together to reform the Church. The inventor of the iconographic program, a close associate to the bishop as well as the king, strove to renew Catholic art by taking the words of Jesus as a starting point. Defining Catholic religion based on widely accepted biblical truths, the ensemble shows that the Mother Church can accommodate all true Christians.
I blinked, forcing my memories of that night I first met Kai into retreat. I became aware of another vehicle behind my own in the present. If it was the police and they pulled me over, I was done for. We were past the time of largely empty motorways and bans on meeting people, but the police could do the jobs they'd always done, before, during and after the lockdown. If I was stopped and they wanted to see in the boot... Set before, during and after the coronavirus pandemic, Pup Sloots tells the story of what happens when two men meet in a bar in Manchester, England just before the government shuts down the country and restricts travel and social gatherings. They share a passion for petplay, a distinctive form of BDSM involving sexy fetish wear and acting on animal instincts. Their attraction to one another is intense, sensual and cerebral - a fierce, older dom and sweet, young submissive - but they are about to endure months of near-total confinement in their own homes, hundreds of miles apart. Can they keep their desire for one another burning with just video, text messages and phone calls to rely on? And what happens when lockdown finally ends - when they are able to get together at last to make their daring, primal, lust-driven fantasy come true? Be advised this work of fiction is for mature adult readers only and may contain triggers, although all activities in the story are presented as consensual.
