Chipped, torn with minor damage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of a controversial sex therapy clinic in California, The Celestial Bed is a bold and provocative work of contemporary fiction by Irving Wallace, one of America's most commercially successful novelists. The novel centres on Dr. Arnold Freeberg, a pioneering sex therapist whose clinic becomes the target of a morality crusade led by a powerful evangelical preacher determined to shut him down. Wallace masterfully constructs a clash between sexual liberation and religious conservatism, weaving together a cast of vivid characters whose personal lives and desires are laid bare with unflinching honesty. Written with Wallace's characteristic page-turning pace and sharp social commentary, the narrative argues that the battle over human sexuality is ultimately a battle for personal freedom. The Celestial Bed stands as a compelling and thought-provoking read that continues to resonate in debates around morality, medicine, and individual rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888015225051,"sku":"2026200009603-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/67537a85-5c8b-4220-8ba2-5cd1b031f0d0.png?v=1781752844","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009603-secondhand-the-celestial-bed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
