Commentaries and Writings
A COLLECTION OF CONTRIBUTED WRITINGS ON GOREAN CULTURE, LIFESTYLE AND PHILOSOPHY

Below is a collection of essays pertaining to Gor and the Gorean lifestyle. They are written by those of Sardaria and some respected friends, organized and presented for the benefit of all who are interested. Some of what follows is the product of research done on specific topics, examining aspects of Gorean society and the world of Gor as depicted in the books. Others are the personal opinions of the writer on his feelings and experiences concerning Gor, written both as an expression of his own thoughts and a sharing of insight.

These essays reflect the viewpoints of the writer, and often, but not always, the community of Sardaria as a whole.
