Book Synopsis My Life As Emperor *Exp* by : Nadeem Aslam
Download or read book My Life As Emperor *Exp* written by Nadeem Aslam and published by . This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening with a child's ascension to the throne of the Xie Empire, Su Tong's latest novel is a historical tour de force. Charting courtly life, he vividly evokes many characters - the concubines, eunuchs, advisers and protectors - but it is the portrait and narration of the tale by the child emperor, a boy of few talents who is suddenly thrust into a position of power, which is most compelling. Constantly facing a threat from the two step-brothers who covet his position, and unsure of the intentions of his mysterious grandmother, Lady Huangfu, his rule is characterised by fear, incompetence and his own unchecked cruelty. Can the child ruler gain a greater understanding of human existence and compassion and stave off the curse that haunts him - or will his rule ultimately be recorded as one of slaughter, decadence and failure? An extraordinary and chilling dramatisation of the dark side of nation-building, Su Tong's latest novel is above all a brilliant exploration of the complexities and failings of human nature.

Book excerpt: "From the author of Rice and Raise the Red Lantern comes a story about a pampered and naive fourteen-year-old prince who, after the sudden death of his father, finds himself in the unlikely position of lord and ruler over an entire nation. A boy of few talents and limited interests, he grows drunk on his own power and delights in wielding an iron fist with his subjects. Circumstances soon force him to venture beyond the palace walls, and what he encounters there sets the stage for the events that ultimately shatter the young emperor and his empire." "Narrated in retrospect by the ex-sovereign, My Life as Emperor is a tale of cruelty and decadence, of concubines and eunuchs, of lethal sibling rivalries and intrigue. My Life as Emperor is not only a glimpse into the soul of China, it is a story of power and corruption."--BOOK JACKET.

But, also like his father, Octavio has never mastered the art of reading and his only knowledge of the world beyond the bakery door comes from his own imagination. Just a few streets away, Isabeau works out of sight in the basement of the Louvre, trying to forget her disfigured beauty by losing herself in the paintings she restores and the stories she reads. The two might never have met, but for a curious chain of coincidences involving a mysterious traveller, an impoverished painter, a jaded bookseller, and a book of fairytales, lost and found . . .

Book Synopsis Emperor Hirohito and the Pacific War by : Noriko Kawamura
Download or read book Emperor Hirohito and the Pacific War written by Noriko Kawamura and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reexamination of the controversial role Emperor Hirohito played during the Pacific War gives particular attention to the question: If the emperor could not stop Japan from going to war with the Allied Powers in 1941, why was he able to play a crucial role in ending the war in 1945? Drawing on previously unavailable primary sources, Noriko Kawamura traces Hirohito�s actions from the late 1920s to the end of the war, analyzing the role Hirohito played in Japan�s expansion. Emperor Hirohito emerges as a conflicted man who struggled throughout the war to deal with the undefined powers bestowed upon him as a monarch, often juggling the contradictory positions and irreconcilable differences advocated by his subordinates. Kawamura shows that he was by no means a pacifist, but neither did he favor the reckless wars advocated by Japan�s military leaders.

Download or read book Living with the Genie written by Alan Lightman and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A group of remarkably penetrating, frank, and expert scientists, techno-wizards, activists, and writers raise provocative questions about what is gained and what is lost in a world enthralled by technology in this wonderfully soulful forum on life in the 'Wired World.' " -BOOKLIST Biotechnology, Cloning, Robotics, Nanotechnology... At a time when scientific and technological breakthroughs keep our eyes focused on the latest software upgrades or the newest cell-phone wizardry, a group of today's most innovative thinkers are looking beyond the horizon to explore both the promise and the peril of our technological future. Human ingenuity has granted us a world of unprecedented personal power -- enabling us to communicate instantaneously with anyone anywhere on the globe, to transport ourselves in both real and virtual worlds to distant places with ease, to fill our bellies with engineered commodities once available to only a privileged elite. Through our technologies, we have sought to free ourselves from the shackles of nature and become its master. Yet science and technology continually transform our experience and society in ways that often seem to be beyond our control. Today, different areas of research and innovation are advancing synergistically, multiplying the rate and magnitude of technological and societal change, with consequences that no one can predict. Living with the Genie explores the origins, nature, and meaning of such change, and our capacity to govern it. As the power of technology continues to accelerate, who, this book asks, will be the master of whom? In Living with the Genie, leading writers and thinkers come together to confront this question from many perspectives, including: Richard Powers's whimsical investigation of the limits of artificial intelligence; Philip Kitcher's confrontation of the moral implications of science; Richard Rhodes's exploration of the role of technology in reducing violence; Shiv Visvanathan's analysis of technology's genocidal potential; Lori Andrews's insights into the quest for human genetic enhancement; Alan Lightman's reflections on how technology changes the experience of our humanness. These and ten other provocative essays open the door to a new dialogue on how, in the quest for human mastery, technology may be changing what it means to be human, in ways we scarcely comprehend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Star Trek meets Cheech & Chong!" – #1 INTERGALACTIC BESTSELLING author Tom Sadira invites you on another trip to the farthest corners of the cosmos in this hilarious sci-fi adventure saga. Not even the Starseed can be in two places at once. Captain Charlie Hong and the crew of the Starseed are faced with an impossible choice: save a planet from its dying star or fulfill their promise of hosting a peace summit for a desperate system locked in a cyclical three-way war. Rather than choose who lives and dies, Charlie uses his bond with the Starseed to spawn a smaller, pineapple-shaped starship—the Pineapple Express—and sets out to host the precarious peace process. His vision clouded by guilt, heartache, and bong hits, Charlie doesn’t notice the dark forces stowing away in the shadows, ready to sow insanity, discord, and murder. Now Charlie must race against time to solve the murders and take back control of the Pineapple Express before it’s too late—all while confronting the darker aspects of his own stoned mind. INTERPLANETARY PRAISE FOR FAR OUT CHRONICLES: “★★★★★ Consuming one page per day was not only a healthy meal replacement, but it helped put the zing back in my mating rituals! “ — Duboo Fluboo, ranked #3 Used Transporter Salesman in the Warbler Zone “★★★★★ Since being published in our sector, the FAR OUT CHRONICLES series has become our planet’s currency, our only imported or exported resource, the founding document of our government, the origin of all our religions, and our species’ primary source of nutrients. Oh yeah, makes for pretty good toilet paper, too.” — Crytix Garbok, Supreme Leader of Annekc M’ecneret “★★★★★ It’s Agatha Christie meets Chewbacca meets that one time you ate the whole edible instead of just one piece because you didn’t read the label so you freaked out and your brain melted and suddenly you had all the answers to life in the palm of your hand but then you freaked out again thinking you were late for work but then you remembered it was your day off so you sat around playing video games and napping and by dinner time you felt pretty damn realigned with the universe. It’s like that, but it’s a book.” - ChatGPT’s AI-generated Review of Murder on the Pineapple Express Readers have compared Tom Sadira’s Far Out Chronicles series to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Terry Pratchett ‘s Ringworld series, Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf series, Barry J.
