Book excerpt: A Gathering of Darkness- Heir of Nostalgia Book OneOur story began on the crowded streets of New York City, amidst the tragedy of the homeless and the down and out. It ended with a young man finding his father but losing his world.'Christmas has come and gone, with it, the memories of my family, lost now to the sands of time. Our only hope lies in the fact that they never found us, not really. The nightmare they sent, a true demon of darkness, has been vanquished, sent back to the pit. As for the man in the 'silver singing spurs,' the man who kidnapped my father... the less said on his behalf the better. Only know this, revenge has always been a dish best served cold.'Absentia- Heir of Nostalgia Book TwoOur story continues with the tale of three young friends, born out of loss, held together by magic, protected by fate and brought together by destiny. Together, they will face the unimaginable, as the forces of darkness, now unleashed, begin to marshal their strength to conquer the world.Excerpt from Absentia- 'Those gathered below seemed to be wearing some sort of malleable, very flexible, metal armor the color of night and shadow, forest and snow, moonlight and pitch, foliage and ground. Their long, narrow faces were pale and uncovered, their hair the color of raven's wings. In their slender hands they rapidly wove pieces of vine and branch in intricate, winding, patterns, hypnotic looking shapes, and mesmerizing fabrications. And when they spoke, it reminded him of the sound that fall leaves make being blown by the wind just before the first frost, brittle and crisp, like branches being blown down the sidewalk outside his home. His heart leapt into his throat as one of the 'manimal's froze; its dark eyes, the color of congealed blood, glancing up to where they lay in hiding.Even in the night, Festus could see the flat 'deadness' being reflected there-'

Book excerpt: 3rd Edition-Revised | Age Level: 14 and up | Grade Level: 9 and upThe fate of his entire family seemed to be resting in his hands!For Phillip, living on the streets has never been easy, especially in New York City. Then again, when he volunteered to find his father, who has been missing for the last two and half years, stolen away in the middle of the night by a mysterious stranger, he knew the chance he was taking. After all, he was four hundred years and half a world away from home.To make matters worse, it seemed like those he'd been hiding from all this time, may have just found him- and he knew for a fact that they wanted him just as dead as the rest of his family. Steal his country and he'll hate you. Steal his time and he'll swear revenge, but steal his father, scatter his family and banish him to another time to steal his family's throne- hell hath no fury as an exiled prince scorned.An Excerpt from Heir of Nostalgia:"A dark mastiff," whispered Maggie, keeping the beast in sight the entire time. "In packs they are unstoppable. By themselves, however... We used to hunt them for sport," she said.At this point Phillip jumped in, "Surely you can do something. Look what you did with Feathers.""Mastiff and corbie, Phillip, two completely different creatures. Mastiffs are drawn from shadow and shade, sharp corners and angles. Corbie on the other hand." She was about to say something more when the wolf lunged. With one arm Maggie swept Theo and Phillip to one side, while striking out with her 'stick.' As soon as the 'tree branch' struck the great wolf it snapped in two and burst into flame and cinders. Steaming blood the color of night, the beast snapped wildly at them and withdrew.Fresh scarlet ran like a tear down Maggie's right cheek. She'd been quick, but the wolf had been quicker."Maggie!" Phillip cried, seeing the ragged gash across her forearm.ReviewsA new talent, states E. Finlayson of Staffordshire, UK. This book can be considered equally as a young adult book or an adult book. The plot is out of the usual and the writer builds both tension and atmosphere skillfully. Like other reviewers I could hardly put it down until it was finished, and I hope very much for a Book 2.AMAZING! Says Ron You feel like your right there beside the characters throughout their whole journey. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone ready for an adventure. There were times while reading this book that my heart would be beating faster. Can't wait for the next book in the series! HIGHLY recommend this book!

Book excerpt: What is life? Is it how you live it, what you do in the middle, or how you leave it behind? Stacie, sixteen going on forever, never got a chance to find out. Her life, like her childhood, would be cut short by a monster named Crowley. That’s where I come in- though a lifetime too late. I loved Stacie from the start, from the moment I first laid eyes on her in high school. I just never got a chance to see what might have been. My dreams... our dreams, died when Stacie died. For you see, Crowley got there first. If I had to do it all over again, I would have never let her go. I never would have left her behind- I would have slain the monster, rescued the princess and lived happily ever after. If I had to do it all over again...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages with current developments in postcolonial research, exploring notions of cultural transmission, tradition and modernity, authenticity, cross-cultural aesthetics and postcolonial ethics. The author considers the ethical responsibility of the postcolonial intellectual, enhancing our understanding of this topic through the concept of custodianship, which may be defined as a responsibility towards the other in forms of cultural and literary inheritance. The author introduces custodianship as a central theme and a vital question for the committed intellectual today, proposing original interpretations of major postcolonial texts by key figures including Anita Desai, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Mahasweta Devi and Arundhati Roy. Through close reading and historical analysis, Postcolonial Custodianship reveals that a practice of custodianship has always been an essential element of these writers’ ethical engagement, yet in a way that has never been explored. The author contends that the question of custodianship should not be seen as a merely negative designation; it is by redefining the very meaning of custodianship that the ethical dimension of postcolonialism can be rediscovered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helmut Illbruck traces the concept of nostalgia from the earliest uses of the term in the seventeenth century to today as it evolves with different meanings and intensities in the discourses of medicine, literature, philosophy, and aesthetics. Following nostalgia’s troubled relations to the philosophical project of the Enlightenment, Illbruck’s study builds a cumulative argument about nostalgia’s modern significance that often revises and thoroughly enriches our understanding of cultural, literary, and intellectual history. Illbruck concludes with an attempt at a reinterpretation and defense of nostalgia, which seduces us to read and think with, rather than against, nostalgia’s wistful yearning for the past. Nostalgia: Origins and Ends of an Unenlightened Disease is a comprehensive, insistent, and profound interdisciplinary investigation of the history of an idea. It should appeal to readers interested in the cultural makings of the Enlightenment and modernity or in the histories of medicine, literature, and philosophy.

Book excerpt: **Winner of the Michael Shaara Prize for Excellence in Civil War Fiction** **Washington Post Best 50 Books of the Year** Set during the Civil War, this stunning novel from bestselling author Dennis McFarland follows a nineteen-year-old private who is struggling to regain his identity in an overturned American landscape. In the winter of 1864, Summerfield Hayes, a pitcher for the famous Eckford Club, enlists in the Union army, leaving his beloved sister alone in their Brooklyn home. After a particularly grim experience on the battlefield—deserted by his comrades and suffering from deafness and disorientation—he attempts to make his way home but instead lands in a Washington military hospital, mute and unable even to write his name. Among the people he encounters in this twilit realm—including a compassionate drug-addicted amputee, the ward matron who only appears to be his enemy, and the captain who is convinced that Hayes is faking his illness—is a gray-bearded eccentric who visits the ward daily and becomes Hayes’s strongest advocate: Walt Whitman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images of loss and yearning played a crucial role in literary texts written in the later part of the twentieth century. Despite deep cultural differences, novelists from Africa, the Caribbean, Great Britain, and the United States share a sense that the economic, social, and political forces associated with late modernity have evoked widespread nostalgia within the communities in which they write. In this original and wide-ranging study, John J. Su explores the relationship between nostalgia and ethics in novels across the English-speaking world. He challenges the tendency in literary studies to characterise memory as positive and nostalgia as necessarily negative. Instead, this book argues that nostalgic fantasies are crucial to the ethical visions presented by topical novels. From Jean Rhys to Wole Soyinka and from V. S. Naipaul to Toni Morrison, Su identifies nostalgia as a central concern in the twentieth-century novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the quaint town of Everwick, nestled atop a hill and veiled by ancient woods, stands the imposing Wraithwood Manor. Its tall spires and gothic arches are more than just architectural marvels; they are silent witnesses to centuries of history, tales of love and loss, secrets and discoveries, and bonds that transcend time. To the townsfolk, the manor is an enigma, shrouded in mystery and legends. Whispers of ghostly apparitions, long-lost treasures, and ethereal melodies that float with the wind have kept many a child awake with a mix of fear and fascination. Yet, for all its mystique, the heart of Wraithwood's story is one of family — a lineage that has weathered storms both real and metaphorical, binding generations of Wraithwoods to the manor and to each other. As we journey through the grand hallways and hidden chambers of this timeless estate, we encounter Eleanor, a young heiress rediscovering her roots; Elara, a spiritual medium with an uncanny connection to the manor's ethereal residents; and Thomas, a scholar determined to chronicle the manor's vast history. Together, this trio unveils the layers of Wraithwood, navigating its joys and challenges, and forever altering its legacy. In " Haunted Inheritance," every shadow holds a tale, every whisper an echo from the past, inviting readers to step into a world where the line between the living and the spectral is delicately blurred. Join us as we traverse through time, uncovering the tales that make Wraithwood Manor the enigmatic wonder that it is. Dive deep, dear reader, and let the story of Wraithwood enthrall and enchant you.

This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romanian Revolution of 1989 ended 42 years of Communist rule. It was the bloodiest revolution in a Warsaw Pact country, culminating in the overthrow and execution of Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, there was no major democratic reform and power remained in the hands of key figures from the old regime. This has led many theorists to question the authenticity of the entire revolution. Performative Contradiction and the Romanian Revolution focuses-in on the circumstances which led to these accusations. It argues that the notion of an authentic revolution, as a conceptual paradigm, is neither a sufficient, appropriate, nor useful tool for an analysis of the events in Romania. Engaging with the work of theorists including Stieglar, Agamben, Baudrillard, Badiou, Spinoza and Derrida it argues that performative contradiction is a more useful theoretical model for exploring this event. Applying the concept to specific cases within the revolution, the book demonstrates the power of performative contradiction as an analytic tool.

Just about the time he discovers that a real woman is vastly superior to the virtual kind, some truly alarming nightmares start to haunt his sleep. Ty learns to play chess from a master, but he begins to suspect he's part of a much bigger game.

Book excerpt: Can one be nostalgic for the home one never had? Why is it that the age of globalization is accompanied by a no less global epidemic of nostalgia? Can we know what we are nostalgic for? In the seventeenth century, Swiss doctors believed that opium, leeches, and a trek through the Alps would cure nostalgia. In 1733 a Russian commander, disgusted with the debilitating homesickness rampant among his troops, buried a soldier alive as a deterrent to nostalgia. In her new book, Svetlana Boym develops a comprehensive approach to this elusive ailment. Combining personal memoir, philosophical essay, and historical analysis, Boym explores the spaces of collective nostalgia that connect national biography and personal self-fashioning in the twenty-first century. She guides us through the ruins and construction sites of post-communist cities -- St. Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, and Prague-and the imagined homelands of exiles-Benjamin, Nabokov, Mandelstam, and Brodsky. From Jurassic Park to the Totalitarian Sculpture Garden, from love letters on Kafka's grave to conversations with Hitler's impersonator, Boym unravels the threads of this global epidemic of longing and its antidotes.

This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people in early modern England the Reformation turned the past into another country: the 'merry world'. Nostalgia for this imaginary time, both widespread and widely contested, was commodified by a burgeoning entertainment industry. This book offers a new perspective on the making of 'Merry England', arguing that it was driven both by the desires of audiences and the marketing strategies of writers, publishers and playing companies. Nostalgia in Print and Performance juxtaposes plays with ballads and pamphlets, just as they were experienced by their first consumers. It argues that these commercial fictions played a central role in promoting and shaping nostalgia. At the same time, the fantasy of the merry world offered a powerfully affective language for conceptualising longing. For playwrights like Shakespeare and others writing for the commercial stage, it became a way to think through the dynamics of audience desire and the aesthetics of repetition.

Book excerpt: This book addresses the multiple meanings of nostalgia in the literature of the period. Whether depicted as an emotion, remembrance, or fixation, these essays demonstrate that the nostalgic impulse reveals how deeply rooted in the damaged, the old, and the vanishing, were the variety of efforts to imagine and produce the new—the distinctly modern.
