Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nigh 150 years, the Marcs of Desryol have been embroiled in the Era of Campaigns. Season after season, campaigns are waged with little to nothing gained. What began as a power struggle has long devolved into a farce. And there are those who have had enough… Recha Mandas – The marquesa sworn to vengeance and the end of the campaigns. For three years, La Dama Recha Mandas has precariously balanced her Marc of Lazorna on a knife’s edge. Despite her swift rise, she has pursued neutrality with the three larger marcs surrounding her, forsaking the campaigns entirely, regardless of the damage to Lazorna’s prestige, all for one purpose—the destruction of Si Don Emaximo Borbin, Marqués of Orsembar, the man responsible for the death of her beloved. This season appears to be her last chance, and she plans to wage a campaign the marcs haven’t seen since the beginning of the era. In doing so, she may face a challenge greater than a marc three times her size. Will she be able to keep her lofty oath to end this destructive era, or will she lose herself to the thrill of campaign? Necrem Oso – The scarred blacksmith who longs for home. Nothing good comes from the campaigns, especially for Necrem Oso and his family. They have scarred both him and his wife and cast his family into destitution. What little happiness he can provide for his daughter, his little miracle, and the few good days his wife has are all that keeps him going. But the campaigns don’t care for a steel-working man’s happiness, nor does Marqués Borbin when he has grand campaign plans for this season. If men can’t contribute to the campaign effort through their labor, then they will be forced into it another way. However, opportunities can arise on campaigns. But for Necrem, if given such an opportunity, is it enough for a wronged man to keep his shoulders hunched and go home, or raise his fists and demand retribution? For over 500 years, the status of the world has gone unchanged. In one year, three events will shatter it. The second happens in the west.

Book Synopsis The Master of Us All by : Mary Blume
Download or read book The Master of Us All written by Mary Blume and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sparkling life of the monumental fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga When Cristóbal Balenciaga died in 1972, the news hit the front page of The New York Times. One of the most innovative and admired figures in the history of haute couture, Balenciaga was, said Schiaparelli, “the only designer who dares do what he likes.” He was, said Christian Dior,“the master of us all.” But despite his extraordinary impact, Balenciaga was a man hidden from view. Unlike today’s celebrity designers, he saw to it that little was known about him, to the point that some French journalists wondered if he existed at all. Even his most notable and devoted clients—Marlene Dietrich, Barbara Hutton, a clutch of Rothschilds—never met him. But one woman knew Balenciaga very well indeed. The first person he hired when he opened his Paris house (then furnished with only a table and a stool) was Florette Chelot, who became his top vendeuse—as much an adviser as a saleswoman. She witnessed the spectacular success of his first collection, and they worked closely for more than thirty years, until 1968, when Balenciaga abruptly closed his house without telling any of his staff. Youth-oriented fashion was taking over, Paris was in upheaval, and the elder statesman wanted no part of it. In The Master of Us All , Mary Blume tells the remarkable story of the man and his house through the eyes of the woman who knew him best. Intimate and revealing, this is an unprecedented portrait of a designer whose vision transformed an industry but whose story has never been told until now.

Download or read book Rimualdo written by William Henry Ireland and published by Zittaw Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William-Henry Ireland's Rimualdo; or, The Castle of Badajos was first published in 1800 at the apex of the genre's popularity. Like Ann Radcliffe before him, Ireland skillfully weaves the familiar Gothic conventions with Shakespearean characteristics. Set in medieval Spain, the novel is nothing less than a register of Gothic paraphernalia: "unnatural parents, persecuted lovers, murders, haunted apartments, winding sheets and winding staircases, subterranean passages, lamps that are dim and perverse and that always go out when they should not, monasteries, caves, monks, tall, thin, and withered with lank abstemious cheeks, dreams, groans, and spectres." Rimualdo chronicles the perversely sensitive Condh Don Rimualdo's discovery an enigmatic female under the protection of the nefarious monk Sebastiano. In his attempt to unlock the mystery of the virtuous Constanza, Rimualdo is drawn into a labyrinth of depravity, villainy and nightmares where nothing is as it first appears.
Download or read book Josefina's Sin written by Claudia H. Long and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thrilling and passionate debut about a sheltered landowner’s wife whose life is turned upside down when she visits the royal court in seventeenth-century Mexico. When Josefina accepts an invitation from the Marquessa to come stay and socialize with the intellectual and cultural elite in her royal court, she is overwhelmed by the Court’s complicated world. She finds herself having to fight off aggressive advances from the Marquessa’s husband, but is ultimately unable to stay true to her marriage vows when she becomes involved in a secret affair with the local bishop that leaves her pregnant. Amidst this drama, Josefina finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the intellectual nuns who study and write poetry at the risk of persecution by the Spanish Inquisition that is overtaking Mexico. One nun in particular, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, teaches Josefina about poetry, writing, critical thinking, the nature and consequences of love, and the threats of the Holy Office. She is Josefina’s mentor and lynchpin for her tumultuous passage from grounded wife and mother to woman of this treacherous, confusing, and ultimately physically and intellectually fulfilling world.
