Book excerpt: Avalon is Britain's very own Atlantis - a mystical kingdom rich in myth and lore. Legends tell how the body of King Arthur was taken to Avalon, where he would wait till his nation's hour of need - the truth is that Avalon was a very real place with a turbulent history of its own. In The Keys to Avalon, the authors use neglected ancient sources, geographical clues and modern maps to take us to the heart of this realm. They uncover a remarkable landscape steeped in evidence of a bygone age. En route, they debunk the claims of other places to the name of Avalon, and literally redraw the map of Dark Age Britain, forcing us to re-examine all of our theories about this era. Ultimately, they reveal the kernel of historical truth at the heart of the Arthurian legend and unlock the borders of a lost land.

Book excerpt: Parker Wallace was just a normal man living a mundane life as a low level mall security guard, but after a severe weather phenomenon caused his ride home to be a little more exciting than usual, Parker sacrifices his own life in an effort to save a young woman from a dangling car at the edge of a bridge. When it seemed like his life was coming to an end, he soon discovered that his destiny had greater plans in store for him. Finding himself on the mystical island of Avalon, Parker learns of a forgotten war between mankind and Hades, the god of the Underworld. With the help of the legendary King Arthur himself, and along with other mythical figures from both Arthurian literature and Greek Mythology, Parker must train to be more than he could have ever believed himself to be. From the beautiful shores of Avalon to a fiery island prison, Parker fights for the lost souls captured by Hades during the early battles of the Dark Ages. Along with his allies, Parker will push the limits of his own courage to battle Hades and his army of Ash demons in an effort to bring about peace in a new age of darkness. This is the first part of an epic adventure where an ordinary man will become a hero, a hero will become a warrior, and a warrior will become a legend.
Book Synopsis Roxy Music's Avalon by : Simon A. Morrison
Download or read book Roxy Music's Avalon written by Simon A. Morrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having designed Roxy Music as an haute couture suit hand-stitched of punk and progressive music, Bryan Ferry redesigned it. He made Roxy Music ever dreamier and mellower-reaching back to sadly beautiful chivalric romances. Dadaist (punk) noise exited; a kind of ambient soft soul entered. Ferry parted ways with Eno, electric violinist Eddie Jobson, and drummer Paul Thompson, foreswearing the broken-sounding synthesizers played by kitchen utensils, the chance-based elements, and the maquillage of previous albums. The production and engineering imposed on Avalon confiscates emotion and replaces it with an acoustic simulacrum of courtliness, polished manners, and codes of etiquette. The seducer sings seductive music about seduction, but decorum is retained, as amour courtois insists. The backbeat cannot beat back nostalgia; it remains part of the architecture of Avalon, an album that creates an allusive sheen. Be nostalgic, by all means, but embrace that feeling's falseness, because nostalgia-whether inspired by medieval Arthuriana or 1940s film noir repartee or a 1980s drug-induced high-deceives. Nostalgia defines our fantasies and our (not Ferry's) essential artifice.

Book excerpt: Road trips can go off road, but they should NEVER go into parallel worlds. Fueled by discontent and odd dreams, middle-aged Arnie Penders sells his used bookstore and goes on a road trip. He's driven-literally-toward something . . . but what? Unsure of his destination or his destiny he journals his trip in a group of letters to his ex-wife. This mild mannered bookseller with self-deprecating wit transforms into a man of action with a length of rebar during a mugging. A series of encounters with ghosts and offbeat women mark the ongoing road trip-including a potty-mouthed-waitress-turned-Baja-racecar-driver, and a new age enthusiast who takes him to a tarot card reading. A deck has only one of each card in it, and yet the King of Swords turns up twice. Haunting dreams, a guiding apparition, and a 200-year-old book of bad poetry herald the reincarnation of King Arthur in the 17th century. Driven to find the fictitious King Arthur in the poem, Arnie makes his way to Wales, reputed to be the location of Arthur's return. Can Arnie decipher-and survive-what the legendary King Arthur, the ghostly apparition, and the King of Swords want from him?

Book excerpt: Some cats need nine lives to make a difference. Avalon only needed one. From Amazon bestselling author Vanessa Morgan, Avalon is the heartwarming and once-in-a-lifetime love story of a girl and her neurotic Turkish Van cat. With humor, the author details how Avalon made other creatures cringe in distress whenever he was around, how he threw her dates out by means of special techniques, and how he rendered it almost impossible for her to leave the house. Avalon was so incorrigible that even her landlord ordered her to get rid of him. But beneath Avalon's demonic boisterousness, Vanessa recognized her own flaws and insecurities, and she understood that abandoning Avalon would be the worst she could do to him. Thanks to her unswerving loyalty, Avalon transformed into a tender feline, and even landed a major role in a horror movie. In turn, Avalon made it his mission to be there for his human companion. Avalon is a memoir for anyone who has ever been obsessively in love with a pet.
