Book Synopsis The Canticles of Andurun by : Ian Thomas Curtis
Download or read book The Canticles of Andurun written by Ian Thomas Curtis and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kallendaros is a land conquered by the Dragons. In a treaty agreed upon between the races, it was decreed that every youth between the ages of fifteen and seventeen would receive the branding as a mark of loyalty to their conquerors. Justias, a brash seventeen-year-old, encounters Marek, a former Dragon Cleric fleeing from his own army. Justias hides Marek to save him, setting in motion a chain of events that leaves his village destroyed, and both of them running for their lives. The two become embroiled in a rebellion instigated by the Noble Houses of the southlands, who wish to overthrow the Dragon Clerics. Traveling to Southdeep, the last bastion of Human freedom, Justias embarks on a seemingly hopeless quest against their true enemy: the Dragons. Gildaryss, Tyrant Wyrm, molds the events to further her own plot: the annihilation of all Humanity. In a vain bid for peace with the Dragon Clerics, Southdeep's young lord Uriel is captured by the enemy. Presumed dead, the tension between the Clerics and the Nobility reaches the breaking point, with war inevitable. On the heels of such dire news, Justias finds himself hailed as the Dragon Slayer King: the warrior for whom the southlands have been waiting for more than 200 years.

Download or read book The Eastern Front written by Yan Mann and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-14 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second World War in Eastern Europe is far from a neglected topic, especially since social, cultural, and diplomatic historians have entered a field previously dominated by operational histories, and produced a cornucopia of new scholarship offering a more nuanced picture from both sides of the front. However, until now, the story has still been disjointed and specialized, whereby military, social, economic, and diplomatic histories continue to give their own separate accounts. This collection of essays attempts to bring these themes into a more cohesive whole that tells a complex, multifaceted story of war on the Eastern Front as it truly was. This is one of the few critical examinations that includes both perspectives and looks at the war as a multi‐front effort. It also reveals how myths are created around military conflicts and have direct relevance to current developments in Europe, linking them to a broader discussion of the Second World War, its impact and utility today. It gives a historical dimension to pressing issues and will be of interest and relevance to history students, policymakers, political scientists, diplomats, and foreign policy experts. The Eastern Front will be a useful reference source, since some chapters rely on extensive new archival research and materials, ego sources, as well as extensive findings of non‐Western scholars, thereby bringing their work to the attention of a broader audience.

Book Synopsis The Slavic Dossier by : Iurie Stamati
Download or read book The Slavic Dossier written by Iurie Stamati and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Slavic Dossier, Iurie Stamati’s objective is to understand the reasons for the emergence of two different discourses on the place of the Slavs on the territory of Moldova and their role in the genesis of Moldovans and their culture during the medieval period in the Soviet archaeology. His analysis goes beyond the utilitarian perception of Soviet archeology. To achieve this, Stamati not only questions the political contexts in which these discourses emerged, but also looks at the history of the Moldovan archaeological field, personal profiles of archaeologists, their theoretical and ideological attachment, relationships and interactions with each other inside and outside the archaeological field.

Book excerpt: Once the legendary knights of the Gabala defended the nine duchies. Their hearts were beautiful; their armor was beyond compare. They were greater than princes, more than men. But they were gone, disappeared through a demon-haunted gateway between worlds. Only one held back -- Manannan, whose every instinct told him to stay. Now he was the coward knight, and in torment. Murder and black magic beset the land. Rumors circulated that the king was enchanted, changed, that his soul was dead . . . and that a reign of terror was about to begin. Now Manannan realized he would have to face his darkest fears: he had no choice but to ride through that dreaded gate and seek out his vanished companions. And the secret he would learn there would tear his soul apart . . . . "A sharp, distinctive medieval fantasy. Dramatic, colorful, taut." -- Locus
Book Synopsis The A to Z of Moldova by : Andrei Brezianu
Download or read book The A to Z of Moldova written by Andrei Brezianu and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Moldova claims a European lineage reaching back in time long before its 14th century accession to statehood. In the 15th century, it managed against all odds to avoid being conquered by Islam and-albeit an intermittent vassal after 1485-it maintained its autonomy and was never turned into a province of the Ottoman Empire. After this period, however, Moldova would not be so fortunate, as it altered between Russian, Romanian, and Soviet control until it finally gained its independence in 1991 from the Soviet Union. The A to Z of Moldova, through its chronology, introduction, appendixes, maps, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, traces the history of this small, but densely populated country, providing a compass for the direction it is heading.

Book Synopsis Women and the Polis by : Przemysław Siekierka
Download or read book Women and the Polis written by Przemysław Siekierka and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 1259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first complete corpus of Greek inscriptions issued by city institutions in honour of their female citizens and foreigners, with the exclusion of Hellenistic queens and women belonging to families of the Roman magistrates. The corpus lists 1131 women fulfilling such criteria. The Greek texts are accompanied by lemmata, English translations and relevant commentaries. Based on the collected evidence, the authors analyse the phenomenon of honorific inscriptions for women as an important symptom of change of citizen mentality. Pointing to the political context in which such honours were bestowed, the phrasing of the texts, character of praiseworthy actions, and the fact that these honours were carved in stone and set up in conspicuous places in cities all reflect what the male part of the city populace thought about women in general and their presence in public spaces in particular. The book is a helpful resource for all those interested in ancient history, social history, and gender studies.

Download or read book American Klezmer written by Mark Slobin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Klezmer, the Yiddish word for a folk instrumental musician, has come to mean a person, a style, and a scene. This musical subculture came to the United States with the late-nineteenth-century Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. Although it had declined in popularity by the middle of the twentieth century, this lively music is now enjoying recognition among music fans of all stripes. Today, klezmer flourishes in the United States and abroad in the world music and accompany Jewish celebrations. The outstanding essays collected in this volume investigate American klezmer: its roots, its evolution, and its spirited revitalization. The contributors to American Klezmer include every kind of authority on the subject--from academics to leading musicians--and they offer a wide range of perspectives on the musical, social, and cultural history of klezmer in American life. The first half of this volume concentrates on the early history of klezmer, using folkloric sources, records of early musicians unions, and interviews with the last of the immigrant musicians. The second part of the collection examines the klezmer "revival" that began in the 1970s. Several of these essays were written by the leaders of this movement, or draw on interviews with them, and give firsthand accounts of how klezmer is transmitted and how its practitioners maintain a balance between preservation and innovation.

Book Synopsis Survival and Consolidation by : Richard K. Debo
Download or read book Survival and Consolidation written by Richard K. Debo and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992-04-27 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With victory in sight, the Bolsheviks turned their attention to the consolidation of power within the former Russian empire. When they took power in 1917, the Bolsheviks believed their revolution had to spread beyond Russia or perish. Neither happened, and in the spring of 1921, at the end of hostilities, they stood alone in the wreckage of the former Tsarist empire. The Bolsheviks had, in Lenin's words, "won the right to an independent existence." This entirely unforseen situation surprised both them and their enemies. Debo shows, however, that nothing predetermined that Soviet Russia would, at the end of the civil war, enjoy an "independent existence" -- or even exist at all. He suggests that a wide range of circumstances contributed to the eventual outcome of the war and that it could have ended indecisively. In his evaluation of the Soviet diplomatic achievement, Debo describes their successes with Britain, Poland, and Germany, their continuing difficulties with Romania, France, and the United States, and the threat from the Far East. This diplomatic success, he maintains, was the result of Soviet victory in the civil war and the patient pursuit of realizable objectives.
