Book excerpt: Written and illustrated by Heather Victoria Anderson Cover by Francisco Silva An adventure for children! Bullying creates, in some people, a desire to crush it. Often a champion arises - sometimes an imaginary one - whether it be a group of avengers or one superhero. In the pueblo of Los Angeles California, nearly 200 years ago, a bad behavior had crept in - bullying began. Then - out of the mystery of the unknown - appeared a boy who promised himself when he grew up, he would always fight the bullies with clever ways and not be a bully himself. He grew up to fight all injustice. He inspired the people to rise up to resist cruelty. That man became the first masked superhero ... Don Diego de la Vega, son of a wealthy landowner and rancher, is frustrated by injustice and oppression. But at the age of nine, those terrible ideas take the form of an unforgiving bully and the ease with which he escapes punishment. Indeed, Diego and his friend Victoria Escalante are scolded or punished for Esteban's misbehavior. Then the bully of the pueblo tries to make Diego and Victoria look bad to the resident padre. Diego decides to fight back. If he cannot use his fists, he will use his brain to turn the tables. In that moment, the seeds of a legend are sown ...

Download or read book The Mark of Zorro written by Johnston McCulley and published by Phoemixx Classics Ebooks. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mark of Zorro - Johnston McCulley - Timid Don Diego Vega grows faint at even the mention of bloodshed and would rather read poetry than defend his own honor. No one suspects that the effete aristocrat is living a double life as Zorro the fox, bold fighter of injustice, whose sword is ever ready to defend the poor and oppressed against a corrupt governor and his merciless army. Zorro's charade fools even the spirited Lolita Pulido, whose father forces her to endure the listless wooing of Don Diego while her heart belongs to the masked hero who laughs in the face of danger.This lighthearted tale of the Robin Hood of Old California unfolds as a suspenseful romp across Los Angeles of the 1820s. Loaded with colorful characters and historic atmosphere, recounted in direct and unpretentious prose, the pulp adventure offers a winning balance of action, comedy, and romance. This edition reprints the original 1919 story, published serially as "The Curse of Capistrano," which launched the Zorro legend. Scores of sequels followed, along with movie and television versions, all inspired by this swashbuckling classic.

Book excerpt: The History of mankind is very cyclical.How often has it been said, history repeats itself.Since time immemorial a repetitive theme in the human drama is Gnosticism, a teaching that special hidden knowledge leads to spiritual enlightenment.Gnostic myths have also focused on the sexual union of gods or goddesses with humans.The recent furor over the fictional novel and movie,The Da Vinci Code,has once again challenged the authenticity of the Christian Gospel, and brought new focus on Gnostic myths.Readers and movie-goers are encouraged to accept the dubious writings of lost gospels and reject the canonical teachings of the Bible.In those 2ndand 3rdcentury sources, the real Jesus who interacted with leaders, cared for the weak and sick, even loving the dregs of society, is exchanged for a strange creature that only appears to be human and bears no likeness to the Jewish man who died on a cruel Roman Cross. Beyond Da Vincipresents the real Jesus through the rich nuptial imagery of the Old and New Testaments.The reader meets the true Bride of Christ and learns of the incredible consummation of Bride and Bridegroom that is yet to come.Are there false Brides?Was Jesus of Nazareth married?Was he just a man or was he divine?Come partake of this incredible journey through the greatest romance of history; a journey to the truth.

As California stands on the brink of statehood, Alejandro is not sure who he will be when the need for the mask fades, but his lovely wife, Elena, is certain he will be the devoted husband and father she and their son, Joaquin, have patiently waited for. But ruthless men in a deadly conspiracy of power have different ideas. As they threaten the future of a still-young nation, they also set Alejandro's two lives in collision, drawing his beloved Elena into a perilous world of shadows and lies. Could the mask ultimately cost the one they call Zorro everything and everyone he holds most dear? Or will the Zorro legacy and de la Vega family prevail?

Her father's death brings her back to a failing cattle operation, a pile of debt and a haunting need to find the child she left behind. Leasing out the land for wind towers solves one problem but creates another—the hostility of her neighbors, Burt and Lena Gurdman. Lena Gurdman may be poor and uneducated, with a husband who's quick to blame her for any perceived wrong, but she knows she and Marik have more in common than the property line between them. When the bones of an infant are uncovered on Killdeer Ridge Ranch, both Marik and Lena are left with questions about secrets they thought were buried long ago.

Download or read book Zorro's Shadow written by Stephen J.C. Andes and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "SADDLE UP! Andes takes us on an exhilarating, dust-kicking ride through the actual origins and history of the first hemispheric Latinx superhero: Zorro." —Frederick Luis Aldama, editor of Tales from la Vida: A Latinx Zorro's Shadow explores the masked character's Latinx origins and his impact on pop culture—the inspiration for the most iconic superheroes we know today. Long before Superman or Batman made their first appearances, there was Zorro. Born on the pages of the pulps in 1919, Zorro fenced his way through the American popular imagination, carving his signature letter Z into the flesh of evildoers in Old Spanish California. Zorro is the original caped crusader, the first masked avenger, and the character who laid the blueprint for the modern American superhero. Historian and Latin American studies expert Stephen J. C. Andes unmasks the legends behind Zorro, showing that the origins of America's first superhero lie in Latinx history and experience. Revealing the length of Zorro's shadow over the superhero genre is a reclamation of the legend of Zorro for a multiethnic and multicultural America.
