Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains three previously published novels in their entirety: Hangman’s Choice Federal Deputy Sullivan Hart arrived too late to rescue his father. But the elder Hart managed to identify his killers before his death—by scrawling the phrase “Los Pistoleros” in his own blood. Since the end of the Civil War, this outlaw gang has been involved in everything from cattle rustling to running guns—without getting caught. Sullivan Hart aims to end that lucky streak. But Sullivan isn’t the only man on the hunt. Quick Charlie Sims, gambler and con man, has his own debt to settle with Los Pistoleros. And he’s got to do it without letting lawmen like Sullivan Hart get involved. Because Charlie Sims is a wanted man, too.... Devil’s Due Federal Deputy Sullivan Hart thinks he has broken the back of the outlaw organization Los Pistoleros after he arrests its leader, J.T. Priest— the man who killed his father. But just before his trial, Priest escapes from jail, and he’s determined to rebuild his criminal empire. Hart knows that if he’s ever to put his father’s ghost to rest, he must stop the outlaw once and for all. Only Quick Charlie Sims knows where Priest is planning to meet up with the rest of his gang. And Hart is none too sure he can trust the wily gambler, who has his own debt to settle with Los Pistoleros’ leader—and his own interest in the organization.... Blood Money Ever since Federal Deputy Sullivan Hart lost his father to ruthless J.T. Priest, he’s hoped to find the outlaw leader and bring him down. When hanging judge Isaac Parker sends Hart and his partner, Twojack Roth, to break up Priest’s infamous gang, Los Pistoleros, he is only too willing to fulfill his duty. With the price on Priest’s head rising, gunmen from the East and the West alike come forward, rifles in their hands and dollar signs in their eyes. Hart and Roth need all the help they can get to catch Priest and his crew, who’ve stolen a million dollars—and taken a pretty hostage. Joining Hart’s hunt is former bounty hunter Jake Coak and the ever resourceful “Quick Charlie” Sims. With these two on his side, Hart sets out on a trail leading to a final desert showdown in this the concluding third book in the Dead Or Alive Trilogy.

Book excerpt: "This is a novel of enormous power' New Statesman 'Gordimer is a great writer ... It is Turgenev that she most brings to mind' -- New York Review of Books The Booker Prize winning political novel by the Nobel Prize winning author Nadine Gordimer Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son, and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm.

Download or read book The Waning Sword: Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in 'Beowulf' written by Edward Pettit and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image of a giant sword melting stands at the structural and thematic heart of the Old English heroic poem Beowulf. This meticulously researched book investigates the nature and significance of this golden-hilted weapon and its likely relatives within Beowulf and beyond, drawing on the fields of Old English and Old Norse language and literature, liturgy, archaeology, astronomy, folklore and comparative mythology. In Part I, Pettit explores the complex of connotations surrounding this image (from icicles to candles and crosses) by examining a range of medieval sources, and argues that the giant sword may function as a visual motif in which pre-Christian Germanic concepts and prominent Christian symbols coalesce. In Part II, Pettit investigates the broader Germanic background to this image, especially in relation to the god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr, and explores the capacity of myths to recur and endure across time. Drawing on an eclectic range of narrative and linguistic evidence from Northern European texts, and on archaeological discoveries, Pettit suggests that the image of the giant sword, and the characters and events associated with it, may reflect an elemental struggle between the sun and the moon, articulated through an underlying myth about the theft and repossession of sunlight. The Waning Sword: Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in 'Beowulf' is a welcome contribution to the overlapping fields of Beowulf-scholarship, Old Norse-Icelandic literature and Germanic philology. Not only does it present a wealth of new readings that shed light on the craft of the Beowulf-poet and inform our understanding of the poem’s major episodes and themes; it further highlights the merits of adopting an interdisciplinary approach alongside a comparative vantage point. As such, The Waning Sword will be compelling reading for Beowulf-scholars and for a wider audience of medievalists.

Download or read book The History written by Herodotus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history. Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy. "Reading Herodotus in English has never been so much fun. . . . Herodotus crowds his fresco-like pages with all shades of humanity. Whether Herodotus's view is 'tragic,' mythical, or merely common sense, it provided him with a moral salt with which the diversity of mankind could be savored. And savor it we do in David Grene's translation."—Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "Grene's work is a monument to what translation intends, and to what it is hungry to accomplish. . . . Herodotus gives more sheer pleasure than almost any other writer."—Peter Levi, New York Times Book Review
