Ekstsentriline – kentsakas – imelik, inglise keeles bizarre. Eestivene kirjaniku Andrei Ivanovi uus romaan koneleb igati normaalse Euroopa sudames elutsevate illegaalide ebanormaalsest maailmast. Tegu on triloogia teise raamatuga, jarjega romaanile „Hanumani teekond Lollandile“ (e.k 2012), mille suzee tugineb osaliselt kirjaniku elus reaalselt toimunud sundmustele. Romaani tegelased on eluheidikud ja ullikesed, pagulased, keda polekski justkui olemas ei siin- ega sealpool piiri, nende jaoks on koikjal vooras maa. Peategelane Jevgeni on pagulane kuubis: pagenud oma kodumaalt, pogeneb ta ka pogenikelaagrist ning satub lopuks paris ehtsasse, aga mitte metafoorsesse vanglasse. Ent otsustab ka sealt putku panna. „…Inimene peab uldse elama pilku habi parast maast tostmata… Uksnes kirjanik voib reaalsust lihvida seni, kuni see lakkab teda piinamast. Ning siis ta suleb selle raamatusse ja heidab otsekui pudeli merre – ehk keegi loeb labi ja saab aru.” Andrei Ivanov on sundinud 1971. aastal Tallinnas. Ta on vene filoloog ning pikka aega ekselnud Skandinaavias. Romaaniga "Hanumani teekond Lollandile" joudis ta 2010. a Vene Bookeri loppvalikusse ning palvis 2009. a Eesti Kultuurkapitali preemia. Eesti keeles on ilmunud veel ka "Minu Taani onuke. Tuhk" (2010), "Peotais pormu" (2011) ja „Harbini ooliblikad“ (2013). 408 lk

Hilarious miscellany of sex advice throughout the ages from seven-week long Balinese foreplay and Victorian Viagra to swinging tips from the 1970s.It is one of the oldest questions in the world: How do you do sex? And it has prompted some of the most stupid answers in human history.Since the dawn of civilization, a bizarrely eccentric host of self-appointed experts has befuddled, frightened and confused questioners by selling them bull about the birds and bees.Ancient Chinese Viagra was made from wasps. Medieval Indian advice books warned lovers never to have sex in front of the priest or in the middle of the road. Middle-Ages Britons claimed drunkenness was the best way to conceive, while Persians thought they could enlarge themselves with ginger and honey.And as for the Victorians and Edwardians, hot blankets were the devil's work, banisters should be banned and tight corsets could cause nymphomania. The odd playful slap wouldn't do any harm though.Here, then, is the cream of thousands of years of advice on where, when and how to put it, how to receive it, what to spread on it first and how to spend your time after it's all over. It makes you wonder how humankind ever got this far.
