The Convent School, or Early Experiences of A Young Flagellant is a 19th-century novel about sado-masochistic practices. Rosa Coote is obviously a pseudonym - it was published by William Dugdale in London in 1876. Still it should not be read under the age of eighteen. Gröls-Classics - English Edition

ADULT CONTENTAGGRESSIVE SEXUAL BEHAVIORS, ADULT LANGUAGE, ADULT SITUATIONSThis work has been extensively restored as the original was a heavily flawed hand type set "pamphlet", wherein on many occasions it appeared that letters perhaps ran out and may have been replaced by numbers and alternative letters. Spellings indicative of 1898 London were preserved. You are holding a copy that underwent months of restoration. Please keep in mind that these efforts of restoration were done with the story and the essence of the characters in mind, and no substantial "content" edits were made to this material.EDITED BY CAGLIASTRO

Now in paperback, internationally bestselling author Indu Sundaresan presents a poignant collection of contemporary short stories about the challenges and consequences faced by women in Indian life today. Like Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies, Indu Sundaresan’s In the Convent of Little Flowers gives readers an eloquent and illuminating collection of stories about contemporary Indian life, exploring the cutting-edge issues that surround the clash between ancient tradition and modernity. In the collection’s title story, a young woman adopted by an American family in Seattle receives a letter from Sister Mary Theresa, a nun at the Convent of Little Flowers in Chennai, where she stayed as a child. Unbeknownst to the Indian woman, the nun is her biological mother’s sister. In another story, the grandmother of an Indian journalist begs her grandson to intervene and stop a young widow from being burned alive. And when a teenaged daughter bears a child out of wedlock, her entire family is thrown into turmoil. With their lush prose, vividly rendered settings, and complex characters, these and the other stories in this elegant collection bring readers into the experience of Indian women at home and abroad, where modernity offers them lives their grandmothers could never dream of, while at the same time taking away parts of their history. With a delicate touch, Indu Sundaresan weaves the pieces of the conflict together, presenting a nuanced and unforgettable tapestry.

Barbara Frischmuth portrays the convent school's authoritarian conditioning and a young teenager's struggle to become her own person in spite of it. The fourteen briefly-sketched chapters are a kaleidoscope of the confusion teenagers face when caught in a well-meaning, but unfeeling, legalistic educational process. Frischmuth has a superb ear for language as a repressive and an expressive tool. She adroitly blends many voices - of the girls exploring "certain" passages of the Old Testament, or of the nuns preaching a strange mix of common-sense survival techniques with outrageous strategies for controlling a husband. Life for the young charges in the convent is "schooling" with a vengeance: a rigid and authoritarian system drills the girls in answers to all the problems of life. Frischmuth presents the reader with the story of an individual who manages to find a voice of her own in spite of the strict pedagogical system which does not encourage independence of spirit or thought. In the final chapter we hear her for the first time communicating in a voice completely her own, marking the dramatic shift away from her oppressive tutelage to the first stirrings of genuinely critical self-awareness.
