The blockbuster novel of female freedom and empowerment that launched a sexual revolution
After five years, Isadora Wing has come to a crossroads in her marriage: Should she and her husband stay together or get divorced? Accompanying her husband to an analysts’ conference in Vienna, she ditches him and strikes out on her own, crisscrossing Europe in search of a man who can inspire uninhibited passion. But, as she comes to learn, liberation and happiness are not necessarily the same thing. A literary sensation when first published in 1973, Fear of Flying established Erica Jong as one of her generation’s foremost voices on sex and feminism. Nearly four decades later, the novel has lost none of its insight, verve, or jaw-dropping wit.  This ebook features a new introduction by Fay Weldon, as well as an illustrated biography of Erica Jong, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Цитаты

    I was not against marriage. I believed in it in fact. It was necessary to have one best friend in a hostile world, one person you’d be loyal to no matter what, one person who’d always be loyal to you.

    Constant vigilance, that’s my motto.

    Alas! the love of women! it is known

    To be a lovely and a fearful thing;

    For all of theirs upon that die is thrown,

    And if ’tis lost, life hath no more to bring

    To them but mockeries of the past alone,

    And their revenge is as the tiger’s spring,

    Deadly, and quick, and crushing; yet, as real

    Torture is theirs-what they inflict they feel.

    They are right; for man, to man so oft unjust,

    Is always so to women; one sole bond

    Awaits them-treachery is all their trust;

    Taught to conceal, their bursting hearts despond

    Over their idol, till some wealthier lust

    Buys them in marriage-and what rests beyond?

    A thankless husband-next, a faithless lover-

    Then dressing, nursing, praying-and all’s over.

    Some take a lover, some take drams or prayers,

    Some mind their household, others dissipation,

    Some run away, and but exchange their cares,

    Losing the advantage of a virtuous station;

    Few changes e’er can better their affairs,

    Theirs being an unnatural situation,

    From the dull palace to the dirty hovel:

    Some play the devil, and then write a novel.

    – Lord Byron (from Don Juan)
