Ethan encounters what to him is practically an alien species -- women! -- and also finds himself hunted by Cetagandan ghem lords and helped out by Miles' Dendarii officer Elli Quinn. "The plot-driven story moves swiftly and will engage sf fans of all sub-genres ... Bujold continues to prove what marvels genius can create out of basic space operatics.” - Library Journal “Bujold is not just a master of plot, she is a master of emotion.” - SF Site “Bujold is one of the best writers of SF adventure to come along in years.” - Locus Magazine “A superb craftsman and stylist, Ms. Bujold is well on her way to becoming one of the great voices of speculative fiction.” - Rave Reviews “Bujold has a gift, nearly unique in science fiction, for the comedy of manners.” - Chicago Sun Times “Superb far-future saga.” - Publishers Weekly on the 'Vorkosigan' series about the author: Lois McMaster Bujold was born in 1949, the daughter of an engineering professor at Ohio State University, from whom she picked up her early interest in science fiction. She now lives in Minneapolis, and has two grown children. She began writing with the aim of professional publication in 1982. She wrote three novels in three years; in October of 1985, all three sold to Baen Books, launching her career.

Her books have been translated into twenty-one languages. Her fantasy from Eos includes the award-winning Chalion series and the Sharing Knife series.

Book Synopsis Russian Monks on Mount Athos by : Nicholas Fennell
Download or read book Russian Monks on Mount Athos written by Nicholas Fennell and published by Holy Trinity Publications. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aegean Sea laps the shores of the Holy Mountain of Athos, a self-governing monastic republic on a peninsula in Northern Greece. Twenty ruling monasteries comprise the republic; one of those is the monastery of St Panteleimon, where services are conducted in Slavonic. It has become known as the Russian monastery on Mt. Athos.St Panteleimon, fully restored in recent years, can accommodate up to 5,000 men, reflecting the scale of the settlement at its apogee in the nineteenth century, prior to the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 it has experienced a strong revival and is now one of the most numerous of the twenty. The vast buildings and its sketes and dependencies seen today are really only a reflection of the history of the past two centuries.In this first comprehensive account of the monastery in the English language, that stretches back more than one thousand years, Nicholas Fennell has drawn from previously inaccessible archival materials in gathering the wealth of information he shares in these pages. The history of the community is seen to interact with the wider worlds of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires and the modern nation state of Greece, together with that of a Russian homeland whose political character is constantly evolving. It covers the distinct phases in this history: From the tenth to the twelfth centuries when Russian Athonites inhabited the ancient Russian Lavra of the Mother of God, known as Xylourgou; through the six hundred years from the mid-twelfth to the mid-eighteenth century, when the monastery of St Panteleimon was commonly referred to as Nagorny or Old Mountain Rusik; and into the most recent 250 years with their fluctuating fortunes and the questioning of its ethnic identity. Themes explored include the Pan-Orthodox ideal, the role of money and political pressure, sanctity and heroism in adversity, ethnic relations, and the importance of historical memory and precedent.
Book Synopsis Mount Athos and Byzantine Monasticism by : Anthony Bryer
Download or read book Mount Athos and Byzantine Monasticism written by Anthony Bryer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume derive from the 28th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held for the Society for the promotion of Byzantine Studies at the Univesity of Birmingham in March 1994. Virtually from the time of their first foundation, the monastic communities of Mt Athos assumed a central position in the world of Orthodox Christianity. The spiritual, and political and economic influence of the Holy Mountain soon transcended the boundaries of the Byzantine empire within which it lay, to take on a supra-national importance and become one of the pillars of Orthodoxy after the fall of the empire. For the historian, the significance of Mt Athos is enhanced by the fact that its archives contain the most substanial body of Byzantine documentation to have survived the Middle Ages, and its libraries, treasuries and buildings have preserved much that has elsewhere been lost. These archives are now largely edited, and investigation of the art and archaeology is yielding substantial evidence. The papers in this volume, by an international set of scholars, embody the fruits of this research. Starting from Athos itself, they embrace the whole phenomenon of Byzantine monasticism, dealing with questions of asceticism, authority, community, economy, enlightenment, fortification, hesychasm, liturgy, manuscripts, music, patronage, scandal, spirituality, and women (to take an alphabetical sample). Together these papers provide a coherent and immediate view of scholarship in the field.
Book Synopsis Mount Athos, the Sacred Bridge by : Dimitri Conomos
Download or read book Mount Athos, the Sacred Bridge written by Dimitri Conomos and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the papers included in this volume were first presented at a conference convened by the Friends of Mount Athos at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, in 2003. Mount Athos is the principal surviving centre of Orthodox monasticism and the spiritual heart of the Orthodox world. The aims of the conference were to draw attention to the historic importance, the spirituality, and the religious legacy of the Holy Mountain and to shed light on the contribution made by Athonite monasticism not only to worldwide Orthodoxy but also to Christianity at large. Many of the papers focus on particular individuals who from the fourteenth century to the twentieth have exemplified the spiritual traditions of Athos and whose memory as spiritual fathers, confessors, and ascetics continues to inspire their successors today.
Book Synopsis Medieval Mount Athos between Wealth and Poverty by :
Download or read book Medieval Mount Athos between Wealth and Poverty written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-11-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These collected studies dedicated to the Orthodox monastic center of Mount Athos during the Middle Ages paint a compelling picture of the Holy Mountain’s monastic communities as economic actors. Mount Athos’ rich archival holdings allow both for the minute scrutiny of economic activity and the tracing of long-term trends. Not only were Hagiorite monasteries major players on a local level, but they were also embedded within trans-Mediterranean networks of patronage. The unique status of Mount Athos as a semi-autonomous monastic polity also influenced attitudes towards landholding as well as wealth and poverty more generally.

Maksimovič, Zisis Melissakis, Nicholas Melvani, Vanessa R. de Obaldía, Daniel Oltean, Nina Richards, Kostis Smyrlis, Apolon Tabuashvili, and Alexander Watzinger.

Book Synopsis Mount Athos, a Journey of Self-Discovery by : Luiz Rocha
Download or read book Mount Athos, a Journey of Self-Discovery written by Luiz Rocha and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the life lessons learned and experienced by the author during a pilgrimage to Mount Athos in Greece, one of the oldest surviving monastic communities in the world; an exclusive domain of monks and other holy men; a place molded in tradition, history, legend, and miracles. Known as the Holy Mountain, it remains fundamentally unchanged since the eighth century. The author visits a number of monasteries and learns from the monks, hermits, and other people he meets about the historical differences between the Christian religion in the East and West, the symbolism of the faith, the influence of paganism on Christianity, and the Byzantine Empire's art and iconography. Most importantly, immersed in this environment, he is confronted with some of the fundamental questions that we deal with on our lives' journeys over and over again. He is also introduced to the mystic side of an unfamiliar spiritual practice called "hesychia," a technique combining concentration with inward tranquility. The book merges elements of research, memoir, art, history, philosophy, and spirituality into a single story. What emerges is a fascinating and insightful account of a world that is entirely new to many Western readers.
Book Synopsis The Allusions of Athos by : Kathleen Clare
Download or read book The Allusions of Athos written by Kathleen Clare and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what would cause a companion to drink so much so often as to forget who he is or where he is or why he is? Porthos and Aramis, concerned for their enigmatic companion, try to get answers from Grimaud, his valet, who will not assist in their attempts. He has been sworn to silence by his master, which makes it even harder in getting their curiosity satisfied. Realizing only Athos can offer up such information, it is much more retrievable when he is inebriated. They take advantage of the times he imbibes, but his responses are brief and only alludes to his past and is not as fact-filled as they would hope. They reluctantly come to the conclusion that time reveals all. If De Treville knows, he will not betray Athos or any of his guards, for he is not the kind of man that wants dissension among his regiment that gossip can cause. His men trust him, and he them. Let time reveal the secrets that Athos harbors. And prayfully, it is something they can adequately deal with. His secret is safe . . . for now.
