Book Synopsis Love and Other Sins by : Emilia Ares
Download or read book Love and Other Sins written by Emilia Ares and published by Sera Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mina's life is going according to plan; she's acing AP Calc and is perfectly content with her nonexistent social life. Though only a high school junior, Mina knows time is an investment, and she's putting all her capital into academics. Oliver, a child abuse survivor who grew up in the foster care system, is ready to burn down his old life and start from scratch-complete with a new name and emancipation papers-in L.A. When the two are thrown together through circumstance and develop an unexpected connection, they discover how hard it is to keep the past in the past. Love and Other Sins is an emotional coming-of-age YA drama about family, love, violence, and the residue of abuse set against the backdrop of contemporary Los Angeles. When Mina meets Oliver, you'll remember your own first love and just how fast it swept you under. What were the bonds that bound us? Was it purely physical attraction? Circumstance? Or perhaps it was a mutual gravitation toward inevitable pain. "There was something about her-her eyes. Well, not so much her eyes, physically, but more like what they said about her: she had this look-a kind of restless intensity." "It was intimate . . . a strange and beautiful feeling. We were breathing life into each other." Love and Other Sins is a moving story about what it means to be young and vulnerable in today's society. This young adult romance will make you laugh and cry and give you hope for tomorrow because there are people like Mina and Oliver who refuse to let themselves be defined by their pasts or circumstances. If you love reading books like Looking for Alaska or Thirteen Reasons Why, then this is definitely for you. Content warning: sexual assault, recollections of child abuse, discussions of suicidal thoughts, and mention of miscarriage.
Download or read book Emilia written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A spicy work of biographical conjecture ... It's also a rousing reminder of the countless creative women who have been written out of history or have had to fight relentlessly to make themselves heard.' EVENING STANDARD 'The great virtue of Lloyd Malcolm's speculative history lies in its passion and anger: it ends with a blazing address to the audience that is virtually a call to arms. It is throughout, however, a highly theatrical piece ... In rescuing Emilia from the shades, [the play] gives her dramatic life and polemical potency.' GUARDIAN The little we know of Emilia Bassano Lanier (1569 - 1645) is that she may have been the Dark Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets, mistress of Lord Chamberlain, one of the first English female poets to be published, a mother, teacher who founded a school for women, and radical feminist with North African ancestry. Living at a time when women had such limited opportunities, Emilia Lanier is therefore a fascinating subject for this speculative history. In telling her story, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm represents the stories of women everywhere whose narratives have been written out of history. Originally commissioned for Shakespeare's Globe with an all-female cast, Emilia is published here as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes by Elizabeth Schafer, Professor of Drama at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.

Download or read book Hat Dance written by Carmen Amato and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emilia Cruz, Acapulco's first and only female police detective, will risk a dance with the devil to catch an arsonist and find a missing girl. But the music comes with a price no honest cop can afford to pay. Dining by coincidence at the same restaurant as Acapulco's popular mayor, Emilia's evening out with hotel manager Kurt Rucker is cut short by an explosive fire that kills half of the mayor's security detail. Emilia is assigned to investigate what quickly is dubbed an assassination attempt on the politician. Frightened by the fire and the raw emotion it has sparked not only inside herself but across the city, Emilia isn't helped by the men in her life. Her boss is more concerned with his own demons than hers, a new partner comes with a bad attitude, and Kurt Rucker could leave Acapulco for a lucrative new job in Belize. When the involvement of the Mexican Army seems likely and would-be vigilantes post videos on YouTube, Acapulco erupts with a wave of violent demonstrations. But even as pressure mounts for a fast arrest, Emilia remains bound by a promise to look for a girl who disappeared from her own neighborhood. It doesn't take long before Emilia uncovers some nasty family secrets and turns to the city's most notorious hooker for answers, only to end up on the wrong side of a dirty Vice cop. As fires, rivals, death threats, and the fallout from hasty decisions circle around her, Emilia will doubt both her skills as a detective and ability to survive amid the sharks. She'll start making deals for access and information, but the one she makes with the devil could be her last. HAT DANCE is the second book in the Emilia Cruz mystery series. It follows CLIFF DIVER, the novel that Kirkus Reviews called "Consistently exciting . . . A clever Mexican detective tale that will leave readers eager for the series' next installment." The Emilia Cruz mystery series is as raw and action-filled as the headlines coming out of Mexico today, but just like the country, Emilia is both resilient and warm-hearted. With hot nights on the beach and suspense straight out of the news, the series goes inside Mexico's drug war with a fearless style and a woman who will be hard to forget. MEET EMILIA CRUZ Detective Emilia Cruz is a good liar, a fast thinker, a determined investigator and a mean kickboxer. An Acapulco native forced to grow up too fast, she's been a cop for nearly 12 years and a detective for two; a strong woman in a squadroom that didn't want her and is still trying to break her. But Emilia isn't afraid to defend herself and get what she's rightfully earned. She knows that many women in Mexico don't get the chances she's had and the proof is in a log she tracks of women who have gone missing. But she doesn't know how to handle gringo Kurt Rucker, the manager of a luxury hotel in Acapulco. A former U.S. Marine, he has the confidence and leadership qualities she admires. A triathlete, he's calm under pressure and knows what he wants. But does Emilia? THE TWO FACES OF ACAPULCO There's the Acapulco that tourists know; luxury hi-rises, candlelit nights on the beach, the sweep of the most beautiful bay in the world, the majesty of the clear blue Pacific. There's also the Acapulco that is a prize to be fought over by drug cartels--the city that is home to hookers and thieves, the streets where life is cheap and poverty is as pervasive as the wind off the ocean. Both of these versions of Acapulco claw at the each other and force Emilia to survive between them. No investigation will be easy, no crime will be simple. Grab a margarita and come on down to Acapulco . . . If you can take the heat.
Book Synopsis East Asia, Latin America, and the Decolonization of Transpacific Studies by : Chiara Olivieri
Download or read book East Asia, Latin America, and the Decolonization of Transpacific Studies written by Chiara Olivieri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collective work, researchers from different disciplines reflect upon the challenges and opportunities of decolonizing transpacific studies through the lens of a few paradigmatic case-studies that deal with connections between East Asia and Latin America. The present book offers a productive problematization of the idea of the transpacific as a concept and a space that is not restricted to a single definition. We defend that the transpacific can instead promote an understanding of agents and experiences that share many common traits that have been generally overlooked by a hegemonic interpretation of knowledge and the relationship between regions.By fostering an environment that not only accepts a plurality of views but that actively looks to accommodate analogous, tangential, and even contradicting approaches to the study of our ideas, we seek a double objective. First, we hope to highlight precisely the richness within the idea of the transpacific, avoiding sticking to any particular conception to it while at the same time acknowledging and owning each of our points of enunciation. Our second objective is part of a constant struggle in the quest towards social and epistemic justice. By adopting this stance of plurality, we can fight against structures of knowledge production and reproduction that willingly or unintentionally instill specific interpretations in ways that inculcate exclusivity. The goal of this book is opening up and expanding the debate regarding transpacific connections, examining the limits and promises of including these experiences within the conceptual paradigm of the Global South, and showcasing different ways of approaching decolonial research to the study of the relationship between East Asia and Latin America.

Book Synopsis Beyond Horatio's Philosophy: The Fantasy of Peter S. Beagle by : David Stevens
Download or read book Beyond Horatio's Philosophy: The Fantasy of Peter S. Beagle written by David Stevens and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Beyond Horatio’s Philosophy: The Fantasy of Peter S. Beagle, David Stevens examines the fantasy of American writer Peter S. Beagle. He finds a consistent view of the world and an almost overpowering sense of humor, leading him to conclude that Beagle believes that love is the best thing we have and the only reason for living. His work will be read and enjoyed for generations to come, and Stevens tells you why. Beagle indulges in what Stevens terms "metaphysical speculations”: a working-out of the possibilities of the world being different than it is. He invites the reader to examine these speculations with him, and when we do, to come away from the experience as better men and women, believing in the transforming power of love and laughing at ourselves in the process. No writer could ask for more, or succeed better. Beagle would have us believe, to paraphrase Shakespeare's Hamlet, that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. Complete with bibliography and index.
Book Synopsis Emilia's Corte by : Veronica Castillo
Download or read book Emilia's Corte written by Veronica Castillo and published by Soaring Kite Books. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a hand-me-down traditional Mayan skirt, Emilia takes flight and sees her neighborhood in a new way, embracing her Guatemalan culture and letting her personality shine through her shyness. Emilia would rather play with her kite alone than go to birthday parties, pick up beans for her mom's frijoles dinner, or wear her mom's old corte into town where everyone can see her. With a gust of wind, Emilia's corte takes flight, and she sees what it's like to miss out on celebrating with friends, dancing to the marimba at the park, and being brave enough to ask for her favorite cookie, champurradas. After the heavy frijoles weigh her down and lead her to walk back home, she gets a second chance to participate in neighborhood events. Mother-daughter duo Veronica Castillo and Juleesa Espinoza penned this Spanglish tale together, with Juleesa also illustrating, to spur conversations about culture within families and inspire children, especially those from immigrant parents, to appreciate their roots.

Each play is fully annotated and prefaced with an historical introduction. Also included are a general introduction, a statement of procedures, and a glossary.
Download or read book Strange Footing written by Seeta Chaganti and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For premodern audiences, poetic form did not exist solely as meter, stanzas, or rhyme scheme. Rather, the form of a poem emerged as an experience, one generated when an audience immersed in a culture of dance encountered a poetic text. Exploring the complex relationship between medieval dance and medieval poetry, Strange Footing argues that the intersection of texts and dance produced an experience of poetic form based in disorientation, asymmetry, and even misstep. Medieval dance guided audiences to approach poetry not in terms of the body’s regular marking of time and space, but rather in the irregular and surprising forces of virtual motion around, ahead of, and behind the dancing body. Reading medieval poems through artworks, paintings, and sculptures depicting dance, Seeta Chaganti illuminates texts that have long eluded our full understanding, inviting us to inhabit their strange footings askew of conventional space and time. Strange Footing deploys the motion of dance to change how we read medieval poetry, generating a new theory of poetic form for medieval studies and beyond.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Spanish American Novels by Women by : Susan Carvalho
Download or read book Contemporary Spanish American Novels by Women written by Susan Carvalho and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2007 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reading of contemporary women's fiction in Spanish America in which space, rather than time, is seen as the driver of the narrative. Space is critical to imaginative writing. As English novelist Elizabeth Bowen has observed: 'nothing can happen nowhere'. This book offers an interdisciplinary framework for reading novels, and in particular women's fiction in Spanish America, with a focus on geoplot, on space rather than time as the narrative engine. Following the work of Lefebvre and Friedman, the author examines recent works by Spanish America's most visible women novelists - Angeles Mastretta [Mexico], Isabel Allende [Chile], Rosario Ferré [Puerto Rico], Sara Sefchovich [Mexico] and Laura Restrepo [Colombia] -and the ways in which their female protagonists challenge the spatial barriers erected by capitalist hegemony. Margins, borders, liminal spaces, the chora-space, and the body are emphasized as potential sites of transgression. The analysis identifies spatial negotiation as a mechanism both for cementing and for undermining authority, thus exposing the strategies through which literature constructs and represents power. SUSAN CARVALHO is Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Kentucky, and Director of the Middlebury College Spanish School.

It could be that, but it isn’t for several reasons. Emilia is actually a fairy princess that has been given to Peter and Katy to raise for her first twenty-five years by the fairy queen and fairy king. They want her to learn all about humans because, in reality, fairies do live among us and need to understand all things human. Peter and Katy are sworn to secrecy and asked not to reveal Emilia’s true nature to her until later. Emilia discovers her powers and abilities somewhat haphazardly as she needs them. Her parents tell her that her abilities must remain a secret. Alas, not everyone has wings. She must be cautious because there are those who hunt fairies for sinister purposes. She is provided with a massive enchanted elk named Hercules for protection. Hercules’s only weakness is Baby Ruth candy bars! He is later joined by a Belgian Malinois named Max as Emilia goes to college and discovers her destiny and a legendary secret. This book has kindness, love, friendship, adversity, faith, danger, perseverance, and excitement woven through it. I hope you enjoy Emilia and her family’s story!
