“When she finally did move in with him, he first had her sign a paper, in the form of a contract, under which she agreed to become his slave, to surrender all her rights to him, and to obey him unconditionally; furthermore she agreed in advance to submit to any punishment he might care to inflict in the event of disobedience.” In the spring of 1975 Eve Sloan, a twentytwo year old college dropout, was living in a shabby tenement apartment in New York’s East Village, workings days as a clerk in a bookstore while her nights were occupied with casual sex, drugs and writing bad poetry. One day in a Soho gallery she is accosted by Roger Nettles, a wealthy venture capitalist, with whom she ends up having sex in her apartment. Roger, an experienced dominant, quickly sizes her up as a born submissive and proceeds to introduce her to spanking and bondage, to which she responds enthusiastically. Increasingly dissatisfied with her aimless existence while experiencing ecstatic pleasures unknown before, she accepts his offer to come live with him as his slave, agreeing to accept a life of total dependence in which she has no rights of her own but an absolute obligation to submit to all of her Master’s desires. As the livein companion of a wealthy man she is forced to abandon her bohemian ways and is thrust awkwardly into fashionable society, where she becomes known as a great beauty. In the course of her threeyear odyssey she encounters a variety of colorful characters the university professor who teaches history by day and conducts sadomasochistic orgies by night, a dominatrix doctor, a rock drummer with a spanking fetish, a fashion photographer she poses for and who lusts after her, the slave girl with the fragile ego whom she befriends and tries to protect, and Olympia, Roger’s former lover and now bitter business rival, who guesses her secret life and uses it to torment her. Eve’s adventures include being a guest at a dinner party of sadomasochists in which the maid is caned, participating in a spanking party and in a terrifying orgy with two other slave girls. But she finds her greatest pleasures when alone with her Master in his luxury apartment, in his bed, or over his knee, or bound naked to a cross or a bench in the room he has turned into his own private dungeon. In time though, even these pleasures are not enough, for what she craves most of all is to be truly loved by her moody workobsessed Master. When she comes to feel neglected, she is finally driven to rebel, provoking a crisis that will end up changing her life forever.

He is intrigued by her demanding nature and confident personality. What he doesn't realize is Jan is seducing him into a world only she controls. With her descriptive narrative about her reprimands she's endured, he falls that much faster for this shockingly gorgeous woman. Tawses, paddles, whips and more entices him to the point of agony. Jan takes advantage of his extreme horniness to start bossing him around and chastising him whenever he disappoints her. After a time, she starts to call him her slave, and with the thought of more rewards like his first oral session with her, he doesn't argue. Soon, however, he finds his cock ensnared in an evil device only she is in charge of. He no longer has the power to masturbate or even come without permission. Jan will make him her complete and utter submissive, and he discovers that it is perfectly fine with him as long as she will always let him worship her. A New Life is the perfect example of S.M.

Tras esta enorme época de inmovilismo llegará una vertiginosa sucesión de pueblos que se instalaron en distintos puntos y prefiguran una compleja identidad nacional: celtas, fenicios y griegos, preparan la gran unificación romana que deja a España, como herencia, señas de identidad tan importantes como el lenguaje, la integración territorial o el cristianismo. Nos presenta luego Luis E. Íñigo la historia de la invasión musulmana y cómo esa idea de la Hispania unificada por los romanos queda en el espíritu de los nobles hasta que el contexto histórico les permite la recuperación del territorio. Una vez recuperado comenzará un periodo de expansión mundial que convertirá a España en la potencia hegemónica.
