Robovi zudnje
Bodler, Raspućin, Ana Karenjina, Julija, Romeo, Ofelija, Hamlet, Polina, Dostojevski, Žorž Sand, Šopen, Nensi, Sid, Rahela, Van Gog, Arto, M. Iskjerdo, Nora, Džojs, Lorka, Dali. Kako će Raspućin grehom pročistiti ruske plemkinje, u šta će se pretvoriti strast ljubavnika iz Verone, kako će se Ofelija i Hamlet nositi sa zatočeništvom, zašto se Fjodor pokorava neumoljivoj Polini, kakva bolest razjeda Sandovu i Šopena, kako će Nensi i Sid izaći iz veštačkih rajeva, u kakvoj su vezi bordel, usamljenost i Van Gog, zašto Džojs drhti pred susret s Norom, kako će Dali reagovati na vest o Lorkinom odlasku... Veliki pisci, književni likovi, slikari i kompozitori, zatočeni u svetovima raspusne seksualnosti, ostvaruju najbizarnije fantazije, ali i ispaštaju grehove i neutaživo žude za ispunjenjem i ljubavlju. Obuhvatajući ogroman raspon strasti, od sadističke samoispunjenosti, ropskog podređivanja i orgijastičke pomame do ustreptalosti ljubavnika mučenog krivicom ili tuge i nežnosti žene koja čezne, ove priče imaju moć da čitaoca istovremeno zapanje opscenostima i brutalnošću, ali i zanesu nesvakidašnje uzbudljivim pripovedanjem i nijansiranjem emocija. Delo bez premca u žanru eksplicitne erotske književnosti koje žestinom nesputanog jezika, senzualnošću atmosfere i finoćom majstorskog vođenja priče pruža neponovljivo iskustvo vrhunskog književnog sladostrašća.

I am not a fan of erotica and was skeptical at first, especially when reading the story from Rasputin’s point of view. But the third story, Anna Karenina in hell, which is all-white and seemingly perfect, blew my mind. The idea is unique and fantastic and I had to read that story twice this since that vision and Anna’s quiet pain affected me so much. And then – every story better than the previous one. George Sand’s confession about loving an ill man gave me goosebumps, Van Gogh’s loneliness broke my heart, Dali’s maniacal pain is so strong that I think the author was writing about her pain. In the end, I wasn’t even sure if the book is erotica. Sure, there is a lot of sex going on, but still. And now I can only wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone.

I was probably spammed to read this book, however I read it, and found it to be pretenscious trash. There is no redeeming value here.

March 23, 2017„Robovi žudnje“ su nesvakidašnja zbirka priča koja svoj kvalitet temelji, pre svega, na odličnoj ideji, a zatim i da dobroj realizaciji. U zbirci priča pratimo poznate književnike, slikare, njihove muze, ali i njihove fiktivne junake koji se prepuštaju strastima i erotskoj igri. Ili, makar, pokušavaju da se ogrebu za neki snošaj.
Tako su u jednoj priči Hamlet i Ofelija iskoristili Šekspirovu nepažnju da bi pobegli sa svitka u kome su robovali genijalnosti slavnog pisca. I sada, tako slobodni, oni žele da se…hm…jel’te… ma znate već šta. Međutim to ne ide tako lako. Hamlet se sve nešto nećka (ili ne), sve mu je biti ili ne biti, a Ofeliju to deprimira i sve češće razmišlja o samoubistvu. U jednoj drugoj priči otkrivamo šta se desilo Ani Karenjini nakon što je okončala svoju karijeru sponzoruše. Ana, kao i svaki drugi samoubica, završava u Paklu koji će se pokazati kao veoma lepo, da ne kažem rajsko, mesto. Svi uglavnom uživaju u.. kah-kah… svako sa svakim i u raznim pozama. Međutim Ana će otkriti u čemu je paklena začkoljica ove kerefeke. Tu su još i Dostojevski, Lorka, Dali, Bodler, Raspućin, Sid i Nensi i još mnogi drugi.
Zanimljivo je da je svaka priča ispričana u duhu stvaralaštva samih junaka. Tako da, na primer, u priči o Džejmsu Džojsu imamo roman toka erotskih misli, kod Dostojevskog sve vrca od nekog crnila, depresije, ali i perverzije, Romeo i Julija su tragično teatralni, Dali promišljeno lud…
Izuzetno zanimljiva, zabavna i inteligentno napisana knjiga od strane osobe koja očito voli da uroni u svet književnosti, ali i erotike.
Preporučujem da ignorišete naslovnu stranu koja će vas pre odbiti nego zainteresovati za čitanje ove zbirke priča i da umesto nje zamislite neku duhovitu i karikaturalnu ilustraciju Šekspira ili Balzaka kako zapanjenih lica posmatraju kako im junaci beže sa papira ispred njih…

Wow what a great book! Something new and different! My girlfriend “stole” book from me to read it one more time lol, we are waiting for next book from the author

I will never look at Dostoevsky the same. This applies to Rasputin as well. In a way, this is a historical novel that reveals perversion of people who we remember long after they died...

Slaves to Desire is a collection of eleven, erotic short stories in which both fictional and non-fictional literary characters, artists and composers are depicted in settings where the facts and reality of their lives and loves are woven with re-imagined settings, consequences and actions.
I thought Ms Gilić’s writing was truly beautiful. The skill in creating this collection through her knowledge, understanding and the wonderfully adroit use of language was second to none. The Muse was a lovely beginning. The writing was poetic, charged and metaphorical; completely Baudelaire. I thought the change in point of view was clever and provoked interesting comment; did the Muse hold the power? It reminded me of Anäis Nin. Wasted Flame fed completely into the myth of Rasputin without becoming pantomime and despite his point of view, to the reader, he becomes a rather pathetic figure. The Sinners was the standout; absorbing, magical and captivating like a fairy story but one that slowly becomes poisonous and rotten. It was utterly spell-binding. Personally, I loved the Kathleen Winsor quote too as Forever Amber is my all-time favourite novel and yet rarely recognised. Dying Desire was achingly poignant, shot through with pathos and a very imaginative take on Romeo & Juliet.
The Writer’s Apparitions I thought was weaker than the previous five but they had set a very high bar. In this as in Ode to Love and Rendezvous, the paragraphs are separated by dates in American formatting. It’s a minor point, but I would have liked to have seen the dates written out in full; the American formatting seemed anachronistic.
The ending to A Borrowed Life should have been obvious but Ms Gilić cleverly distracted from it and I ended up wryly smiling. Ode to Love was again, very clever. I am not overly familiar with the life of George Sand but after reading this story, which is one of the shortest, I had a good idea of her life and romantic struggles in a way that did not seem obvious or didactic. It was also less intense than the other stories which was a skilful change in tempo. That change continued with Study of Loneliness, it was more cerebral and filled with pitiful self-loathing.
Lover in the Land of Peyote was my least favourite but it could be because I knew nothing about either of the protagonists. This collection is very subjective and that is both its brilliance and could also, for some readers, be its downfall. For example, the next, Rendezvous was very James Joyce but may appear a little rambling and incoherent in parts to readers that are not that familiar with him. Farewell was a good, sharp end and educated me to a side of Dali that I did not know existed.
There was very little repetition in the stories and a few follow similar lines. Yet the narrative voices were distinctive from each other and differently inventive in each tale. For some reason, I kept wishing Madame Bovary had been included, I think Ms Gilić could have had a lot of fun with her.
I was sceptical of this collection; unsure yet curious of how the premise would work. My scepticism was unfounded and I am incredibly pleased to have read this breath-takingly accomplished and exquisitely written compilation.

Original and inspiring book.Written with lot of imagination. Writer convinced us that there are still lot of things we can think of and write something really unusual and interesting. One of those books you will read in the same breath.

I didn't want this book to end! My favorite story is the one about George Sand, the woman who yearns and loves an ill man, so emotional. I hope the author will write another book soon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😻

Of all erotica I have read lately this is a rare piece of literature that deserves to be called a book. The author is very imaginative and develop characters of her stories in a realistic way based on history facts. I highly recommend you read this book.

4*s for such an interesting concept. I didn't read it straight through, but a chapter at a time because it was my first erotica and binging it didn't seem right.
