'between the life we live and the life we feel...there is the invisible border, like a narrow gate'
Set in a boarding school in a remote area of the Habsburg Empire at the turn of the last century, The Confusions of Young Torless is an intense study of an adolescent's psychological development as he struggles to come to terms with his conflicting emotions. Through his relationship with two other boys Torless is led into sadistic and sexual encounters with a third pupil which both repel and fascinate him. Estranged from everyday life, Torless gradually learns to accept his experiences and describe them with analytical precision.
The novel is based on the author's own experiences at an Austrian military academy. A school story with a difference, Torless extends the scope of fiction with its non-judgemental presentation of transgressive sexuality and violence. It is a profoundly disturbing exploration of a non-moral outlook on life and of dictatorial attitudes that prefigure the outbreak of the First World War and the rise of fascism.

Life changing sunscreen
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
When revamping all my skincare, AI recommended this for me as someone with rosacea and inflammation. I also can't stand to feel sticky from skin products. Not only does this not get sticky or greasy, my face looks visibly less red almost immediately after putting this on. I absolutely love it. I wear it every single day now on my face specifically. I'm also very prone to breakouts from products and this has been the best sunblock that doesn't make me breakout after wearing it while sweating.

Saved my hands
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After years of dealing with cracked, bleeding, dry skin from my eczema flare ups -- I was finally fed up. I'd tried everything in the book, but ultimately I resigned myself to never being able to have hands that weren't itchy, bleeding and cracking. I'm not exaggerating when I say this product (along with Aveeno's Daily Eczema Hand Lotion) saved my hands. I can't believe that my hands are no longer cracked, bleeding & itchy. They're soft, even! This hand wash has been a game changer & worth every penny.

Great for eczema
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this stuff. The only soap kiddo can use that doesnt dry out her eczema. Highly recommend. Smells nice, foams up, keeps her hands moisturized.

Worked well. Try it.
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff did help my dry hands. I still struggle with dry hands a bit but compared to softsoap it is much better. Expensive but worth it and cheaper than going to the dermatologist.
