'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.

My dogs favorite
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is one of my dogs favorite chews. I love it to as she can work on it for days and weeks without damaging her teeth. She stays occupied and seems to love the taste

My dog chewed through this in like 20 minutes while other brands she will usually be able to work on for several days. This looks like a good value because of the size, but it must not be as hard. She obviously liked it but for the price, no

Aussie loves it!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This dog chew has been a lifesaver. Our Australian Shepherd is about to turn 11 months. I started giving him the Whole Paws Lactose and Grain Free dog chew about 3 months ago. He is an aggressive chewer and super persnickety about his food. This chew lasts forever. I usually buy the medium for him. The X large is almost too big for him, but when it is all our Whole Foods has, I get it.

Fun
My dogs love these ducks. They are pretty durable but I have had three dogs at a time and they all love them. Our new puppy has taken over the duck from my older dog and she is not happy.

Such a favorite we had to buy backups!
My pup LOVES this toy, as well as my roommates pup as well! Found first in a dive bin store, we knew we had to find the seller and get more. So far we have 3 with 2 of those being in circulation and the third as a back up hidden away. We have had to sew a few holes, the nose is a favorite with ours, but otherwise holds up quiet well!
