'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.

Excellent soap!
This soap is amazing!
It is so creamy and smells wonderful, not overpowering.
Great for moisturizing my face without making it greasy.

Natural and safe
The soap is very nice and lathers well. I got a box filled with different scents. My favorite is the oatmeal lavender. The other scents are not exactly what I would go for. But they are fine. I would prefer coconut or eucalyptus.
I like that the soap contains all natural ingredients and no harsh perfumes.

Good price & variety
I ordered this just before Christmas to give away as gifts and gave one to my bf as well. All the scents were strong and I enjoyed them. My boyfriend and I used the one that I gave him (patchouli scent with the scrub) to test it out. It was very exfoliating. It didn’t bother us, maybe we got a good batch, or just have skin not as gentle as others. It felt similar to a sugar scrub.
For the price, you get a good amount and variety of this soap. I might get another box just for myself. If you check the ingredients they are actually very simple & natural, not full of parabens or random chemicals that you can’t even pronounce.

Nice soaps!
After visiting Colorado and trying real goats milk soap we have yet to find anything we liked as much.
On a whim I purchased this pack.
My husband and I both like them very much. As much as we like to shop local it’s been hard to find what we wanted.
We will definitely purchase again. We like the scents, the natural exfoliators and the softness it leaves our skin.
