Book Synopsis Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism by : Marlene L. Daut
Download or read book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism written by Marlene L. Daut and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.

Welcome to the Barony of Erovania, where evil and lust reign supreme. In this land, the people know better than to venture out at night, for around every turn lurks a creature of darkness.Ruling over the populace is Baron Voros, an undead lord who preys upon the young women of his village as they sleep, not only thirsting for their blood, but for the pleasures of their flesh as well. Entering their chambers, he brings them to ecstasy before striking with his fangs, then fading into the night. But the baron is far from the only wicked being in Erovania. He is matched in his deviousness... and sexuality... by Lillith, his one-time bride, who prefers to stalk the vigorous men of the village, a prey more willing, but no less satisfying. She has never met a man with the stamina to please her before expiring, and when they fail her, she rewards them with pain. Also within these borders, you will encounter: Eva, the village healer who leads a coven in erotic rituals by night. She regularly seduces men to be her servants, then, when they bore her, casts them aside. Erovania's pack of werewolves, led by the brawny Radolf, and the dark, sultry Mileena. They gather every full moon to hunt and feast. Then, when they have sated their hunger, the entire pack mates until dawn. The lonely scientist Victoria, who creates the perfect picture of masculine beauty for herself... by robbing graves. Sister Amanda and Father Erdrick, a vampire hunting priest and holy sister whose vows of chastity are soon to be broken, for they find fighting their lust for one another far more difficult than fighting the evil denizens of Erovania. And so much more. Enjoy your stay in the Barony. If you should meet the Baron or Baroness, they will certainly enjoy you.

Book Synopsis The Dancer and the Devil by : John E. O'Neill
Download or read book The Dancer and the Devil written by John E. O'Neill and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communism must kill what it cannot control. So for a century, it has killed artists, writers, musicians, and even dancers. It kills them secretly, using bioweapons and poison to escape accountability. Among its victims was Anna Pavlova, history’s greatest dancer, who was said to have God-given wings and feet that never touched the ground. But she defied Stalin, and for that she had to die. Her sudden death in Paris in 1931 was a mystery until now. The Dancer and the Devil traces Marxism’s century-long fascination with bioweapons, from the Soviets’ leak of pneumonic plague in 1939 that nearly killed Stalin to leaks of anthrax at Kiev in 1972 and Yekaterinburg in 1979; from the leak of a flu in northeast China in 1977 that killed millions to the catastrophic COVID-19 leak from biolabs in Wuhan, China. Marxism’s dark past must not be a parent to the world’s dark future. COMMUNIST CHINA PLAYED WITH FIRE AND THE WORLD IS BURNING Nearly ten million people have died so far from the mysterious Covid-19 virus. These dead follow a long line of thousands of other brave souls stretching back nearly a century who also suffered mysterious “natural” deaths, including dancers, writers, saints and heroes. These honored dead should not be forgotten by amnesiac government trying to avoid inconvenient truth. The dead and those who remember and loved them deserve answers to two great questions. How? Why? The Dancer and the Devil answers these questions. It tracks a century of Soviet and then Chinese Communist poisons and bioweapons through their development and intentional use on talented artists and heroes like Anna Pavlova, Maxim Gorky, Raoul Wallenberg and Alexis Navalny. It then tracks leaks of bioweapons beginning in Saratov, Russia in 1939 and Soviet Yekaterinburg in 1979 through Chinese leaks concluding in the recent concealed leak of the manufactured bioweapon Covid-19 from the military lab in Wuhan, China. Stalin, Putin, and Xi, perpetrators of these vast crimes against humanity itself, should not be allowed to escape responsibility. This book assembles the facts on these cowardly murderers, calling them to account for their heartless crimes against man concluding in Covid-19.

Having escaped from his many casino debts in Buenos Aires, where he was living in exile, he longs to be reunited with his high-school sweetheart Marika. Confusions abound, and what follows is an endless storm of gossip, con men, and local politicians, vividly evoking the small town’s alternately drab and absurd existence. All along, the Professor—a world-famous natural scientist who studies mosses and inhabits a bizarre Zen-like shack in a desolate area outside of town—offers long rants and disquisitions on his attempts to immunize himself from thought. Spectacular actions are staged as death and the abyss loom over the unsuspecting townfolk.
