Book Synopsis Paradise of the Pacific by : Susanna Moore
Download or read book Paradise of the Pacific written by Susanna Moore and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Hawaii may be said to be the story of arrivals -- from the eruption of volcanoes on the ocean floor 18,000 feet below to the first hardy seeds that over millennia found their way to the islands, and the confused birds blown from their migratory routes. Early Polynesian adventurers sailed across the Pacific in double canoes. Spanish galleons en route to the Philippines and British navigators in search of a Northwest Passage were soon followed by pious Protestant missionaries, shipwrecked sailors, and rowdy Irish poachers escaped from Botany Bay -- all wanderers washed ashore. This is true of many cultures, but in Hawaii, no one seems to have left. And in Hawaii, a set of myths accompanied each of these migrants -- legends that shape our understanding of this mysterious place. Susanna Moore pieces together the story of late-eighteenth-century Hawaii -- its kings and queens, gods and goddesses, missionaries, migrants, and explorers -- a not-so-distant time of abrupt transition, in which an isolated pagan world of human sacrifice and strict taboo, without a currency or a written language, was confronted with the equally ritualized world of capitalism, Western education, and Christian values.

Download or read book The Collected Works of E. F. Benson written by E. F. Benson and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 4979 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F. Benson. He started his novel writing career in 1893 with the fashionably controversial Dodo, which was an instant success, and followed it with a variety of satire and romantic and supernatural melodrama. He repeated the success of Dodo, with sequels to this novel, but the greatest success came relatively late in his career with The Mapp and Lucia series consisting of six novels and two short stories. The novels feature humorous incidents in the lives of (mainly) upper-middle-class British people in the 1920s and 1930s, vying for social prestige and one-upmanship in an atmosphere of extreme cultural snobbery. Benson was also known as a writer of atmospheric, oblique, and at times humorous or satirical ghost stories.

Download or read book The Satanic Epic written by Neil Forsyth and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Satan of Paradise Lost has fascinated generations of readers. This book attempts to explain how and why Milton's Satan is so seductive. It reasserts the importance of Satan against those who would minimize the poem's sympathy for the devil and thereby make Milton orthodox. Neil Forsyth argues that William Blake got it right when he called Milton a true poet because he was "of the Devils party" even though he set out "to justify the ways of God to men." In seeking to learn why Satan is so alluring, Forsyth ranges over diverse topics--from the origins of evil and the relevance of witchcraft to the status of the poetic narrator, the epic tradition, the nature of love between the sexes, and seventeenth-century astronomy. He considers each of these as Milton introduces them: as Satanic subjects. Satan emerges as the main challenge to Christian belief. It is Satan who questions and wonders and denounces. He is the great doubter who gives voice to many of the arguments that Christianity has provoked from within and without. And by rooting his Satanic reading of Paradise Lost in Biblical and other sources, Forsyth retrieves not only an attractive and heroic Satan but a Milton whose heretical energies are embodied in a Satanic character with a life of his own.

Book Synopsis The World of Multicellular by : Oleg Seriy
Download or read book The World of Multicellular written by Oleg Seriy and published by PROJECT - EDEN, Ent.. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was invited to the studio. They were making a political TV show on the channel called "284-467". Non-Shuster was the anchorman of the show. On that TV channel they were giving false information rather often but actually it can be said about all the TV channels nowadays. They were deceiving their audiences. They were showing only entertainment programs and nothing else... In a while I found myself in the studio. Shaitan came with me. He just couldn't let me go alone though no one had invited him, even me. The studio was a huge hall with hundreds of common people. They were sitting, looking around stupidly and smiling. Everyone had a remote controller with the help of which they could manage that mad show. There were a lot of politicians delivering speeches and among them were absolutely cracked Unicellular representatives of the Supreme Government and demoncracy - Timoshenko, Yanukovich, Yuschenko, Kuchma, Yatsenyuk, Tigipko, Kravchuk and others. There were also a number of foreign guests. Shaitan always said that foreign countries shouldn't exist. All these representatives of demoncratic power are sheer rubbish. The power should be given to Multicellular Truth Authorities who unlike these Unicellular fools not only have their laws but also observe them. (…) Shaitan told me many times that no one ever audited the Unicellulars' initial capital. They only took and gave bribes (the more colloquial term is "kickbacks"). (…) Behind a glamorous show that these quasi-politicians organized they couldn't see the pitiful and sad life of common people whose representatives were sitting in the studio and applauding when big red words "Applause" appeared on a huge screen above their heads. That was very impressive. On the whole it was a quasi-political TV show without banners and active brain wash. The show was led by a man called Non-Savik Non-Shuster. The thing I liked most about the show was that it was broadcast live. The corresponding words were shown on the screen but in my eyes, in the light of my mind I was able to discern the word "Death" instead. Besides, I saw drops of blood dribbling from the strikethrough word "LIVE" and those were the drops of my hatred towards the fallen mankind. I was looking fantastic. I was wearing a mask of a smiling hare with little ears and a Ku Klux Klan-style robe with a pentagram on the chest and a fylfot on the place where the heart should be. I was looking as a Devil coming down from the Heavens… Or rather coming up from Hell. I came to this abominable fallen world in order to bring the Last Judgment and to save everyone from the Doomsday. I was wearing twisted horns like Satan's and wings of light like Lucifer's. My eyes were deep and expressive, like a pure lake in a bright day. They reminded the eyes of aliens that people used to draw in their comic books. Those merry green creatures… Besides, I was wearing bright shoes rather than shabby sandals like that Jesus the Carpenter who was crucified by moronic Unicellulars and then proclaimed their Great God… The God of foolishness and complete idiocy. In the shoes there weren't my legs as Shaitan occupied my human body. The one I had occupied before. And now these legs were carrying me in the opposite direction from the mankind and ignorance. In the direction of aliens! On that wonderful day I was holding not a baseball bat or a spade or a sword in my hand. I was holding an exquisite 'Champion" petrol-powered saw of the latest "137" model (by the way, the company was named after me). Drops of still warm blood of Unicellulars were trickling down from it. In the other hand I was holding Serpent-headed Hermes Warder. It was the warder of Gods' Herald, Consoler and Holy Spirit which is mentioned in all Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Pagan and other books. My name was Maytreya. For those who don't know it I would explain. Maytreya is Great Prophet, God of new world order. Maytreya is a unique bodhisattva honoured by all the branches of Buddhism. The prophecies said that "he would be memorized as a wrathful defender of the faith". And it will really happen, mark my words. "He will come from the East with a symbol of his Realm". He has already come. (…) In a letter to Caesar Michel Nostradamus indicated the time of my coming: "One day people's ignorance will be over and that day the supremacy of the greatest enlightenment".

Lisa, a hardworking insurance sales rep who prides herself on her brains, hesitantly accepts the siren call of being admired for her figure, too. But suddenly this new glamour girl faces magnetic CEO Harlan Jameson, whose interest in her matches her attraction to him, except . . . the "real" Lisa isn't this workout babe he created. And old self-doubts about being loved for herself resurface. Harlan's not what she thinks. A self-made success, lonely, and isolated by a busy schedule . . . he's drawn to Lisa's honesty and warmth. When he understands her fears, he sets out to prove there's only one thing he wants her to change for him: her last name.
