Book excerpt: From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes an enemies to lovers, forbidden romance between an ice cold lawyer and her infamous mafioso client who is on trial for murder... I am the villain of my own story... Jilted by my fiancé. A disappointment to my family. Haunted by my childhood traumas. I felt so much all my life that I resolved to feeling nothing at all. Until I met my match. As the most infamous mafioso of the 21st century, Dante Salvatore was madly passionate, unequivocally bad, and entirely too dangerous to know. He was everything I abhorred, yet I found myself representing him in the biggest criminal trial of the decade. I was so focused on winning and achieving the success I deserved that I didn't notice the gorgeous black-eyed man's effect on me until it was too late. My icy heart had been held too close to his flame and now I wouldn't let Dante go down without fighting with everything I had in me. Even if the cost of a new life with him meant the loss of my old life and everything I thought I held dear. *Book One in the Anti-Heroes in Love Duet.*

Book Synopsis Heroes and Anti-heroes in Medieval Romance by : Neil Cartlidge
Download or read book Heroes and Anti-heroes in Medieval Romance written by Neil Cartlidge and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2012 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations into the heroic - or not - behaviour of the protagonists of medieval romance. Medieval romances so insistently celebrate the triumphs of heroes and the discomfiture of villains that they discourage recognition of just how morally ambiguous, antisocial or even downright sinister their protagonists can be, and, correspondingly, of just how admirable or impressive their defeated opponents often are. This tension between the heroic and the antiheroic makes a major contribution to the dramatic complexity of medieval romance, but it is not an aspect of the genre that has been frequently discussed up until now. Focusing on fourteen distinct characters and character-types in medieval narrative, this book illustrates the range of different ways in which the imaginative power and appeal of romance-texts often depend on contradictions implicit in the very ideal of heroism. Dr Neil Cartlidge is Lecturer in English at the University of Durham.

Book Synopsis The Antihero in American Television by : Margrethe Bruun Vaage
Download or read book The Antihero in American Television written by Margrethe Bruun Vaage and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The antihero prevails in recent American drama television series. Characters such as mobster kingpin Tony Soprano (The Sopranos), meth cook and gangster-in-the-making Walter White (Breaking Bad) and serial killer Dexter Morgan (Dexter) are not morally good, so how do these television series make us engage in these morally bad main characters? And what does this tell us about our moral psychological make-up, and more specifically, about the moral psychology of fiction? Vaage argues that the fictional status of these series deactivates rational, deliberate moral evaluation, making the spectator rely on moral emotions and intuitions that are relatively easy to manipulate with narrative strategies. Nevertheless, she also argues that these series regularly encourage reactivation of deliberate, moral evaluation. In so doing, these fictional series can teach us something about ourselves as moral beings—what our moral intuitions and emotions are, and how these might differ from deliberate, moral evaluation.

Book excerpt: History is filled with anti-heroes, and no one was more of an Anti-Hero than Jeremiah Abrahams, the 48th President of the United States, because it was as if everything in his life had happened by accident. He didn't want to be President, but this was thrust on him with the world staggering from disaster to disaster with wars and economic collapse Jeremiah was at the helm doing his best to navigate America through these exceptionally dangerous waters. Because of the many enemies that hated him and his country, it was not long before this President was tasked with leading the United States in a disastrous war, which turned out to be so catastrophic that it brought his country to a terrible end. Having got through that, if this former President thought his life was going to be slightly easier, he was gravely mistaken! If the 2032/33 Global War which saw America's demise was not enough for Jeremiah; his decision to enter the Church by becoming a monk would not save him from even more disasters. Instead, the exact opposite happened with unexpected events and situations that came along ever more frequently. As they did so, this time he would not be leading America, rather it was the Church's turn to be held in the trembling hands of this Anti-Hero. It was then that 'the' most terrible and formidable Enemy the world has ever known began to make his presence felt. Fortunately help was at hand in the form of an exceptionally great saint who help, guided and encouraged this Anti-Hero through the impossible times which held captive the whole human race and their countries!

Book excerpt: An investigation of society's heroes during any time period will reveal the personnel deemed worthy of being emulated at that particular time by that particular society.

Thus the hero--like history itself--is constantly in transition, and both the hero and the transition are fundamental to the study of a culture. These essays turn the pantheon of heroes around before our eyes and reveal the many complicated aspects of hero worship.
