Book excerpt: Revolutionary greetings, before we go deeper into our play, let us read this revolutionary letter; I wrote this letter especially to the readers, drawing my thoughts specifically from what I Learnt from the FEES MUST FALL MOVEMENT: TO THE READERS OF MY PLAY.I am not a leader, neither do I have any position in any organization. I am a man called by history to change it. I must reiterate, I am a Revolutionary, the highest form of humanity. This is the only pride I have as a poor man and I will shout that loud, to let all persons know. You will wonder why am I writing this letter. I am writing this letter to represent justice in an environment of injustice. So early I learnt in my life to rebel against every wrong and I have suffered the worst persecutions that trained me to be upright and fearless.1. EDUCATIONI must admit, I believe in FREE EDUCATION or education itself. Education is a mental weapon for human kind to survive in this world of responsibilities. An educated mind takes care of the needy body. Moreover, education is a human right not a privilege. One must attest that a human right is something that all people are born with. A privilege is given to a person by another. Since education is a human right, one who is conscious cannot deny that it is immoral and unjustified to sell education to the oppressed people who happen to be economically-deprived not by choice but by evils of history committed against them. Black people in Africa are under-resourced and under-privileged; their land was wrongfully confiscated from them. Land is the base of all economic production and it is in the hands of minorities who produce income out of it and pay for their fees. I know that the financial assistance was set to aid my people, I must clarify, financial assistance is for the minority whilst we the poor are the majority. For these Ideals and proven facts, I joined the Fees Must Fall Movement with a conscious mind and I will never regret my conscious decision.2. THE STRUGGLE OF WORKERSOn the struggle of workers, I must say that it is close to my heart. These are the mothers and fathers of a society who have suffered the worst in my eyes. They have been the victims of the racist inflammatory slurs, stereotypes and derogatory names such as 'boys', 'girls' and 'kaffirs.' One grandmother who protested after being called a 'kaffir' confessed that she was coerced to clean a certain department alone for punishment of being upright. Workers, all of them being black in UJ, wake up early in the morning, queue long queues and be cramped in a taxi arriving already tired just to make the University of Johannesburg clean. Only an imbecile cannot give credit to a person who cleans. A clean environment allows humans to carry their day-to-day duties. Without consideration of this vital role being played by workers, the money that is given to them does not equate the value they contribute. Therefore, none can dare challenge me when I say that this is exploitation. So long there is an exploitation of one person by another, it is a moral duty of the slave of the workers to commit himself to redress such evilness. I am afraid, I happen to be a slave who chant a 'fair day's salary for a fair day's work.'This book entails what FEES MUST FALL was all about, the sacrifices that were made by the leaders and how the government and universities responded.

Book Synopsis In the Company of Legends by : Joan Kramer
Download or read book In the Company of Legends written by Joan Kramer and published by Beaufort Books. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with their award winning profiles of Fred Astaire in 1980, Joan Kramer and David Heeley documented the lives and careers of many Hollywood legends, establishing a reputation for finding the un-findable, persuading the reluctant, and maintaining unique relationships long after the end credits rolled. These were recognized as high-quality, definitive film portraits, which revitalized the genre and made it a mainstay of television programming. This is their insiders’ view of the famous and the powerful: Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Lew Wasserman, Ronald Reagan, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss, Audrey Hepburn, and Bette Davis, among others. Kramer and Heeley’s behind the scenes stories of the productions and the personalities involved are amusing, sometimes moving, often revealing, and have never been told before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***50 MILLION TERRY BROOKS COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD*** THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES IS NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES 'Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman Five hundred years have passed since the devastating demon-led war that almost exterminated humankind. Those who escaped the carnage were led to sanctuary by the boy saviour known as Hawk: the gypsy morph. But now, the unimaginable has come to pass: the cocoon of protective magic surrounding the valley has vanished. When Sider Ament, last surviving Knight of the Word, detects unknown predators stalking the valley, and Trackers from the human village of Glensk Wood find two of their own gruesomely killed, there can be no doubt: the once safe haven of generations has been laid bare. Together, the young Trackers, the aging Knight and a daring Elf princess race to spread word of the encroaching danger. But suspicion and hostility among their countrymen threaten to doom their efforts from within, while beyond the breached borders, a ruthless Troll army masses for invasion. Standing firm between the two, the last wielder of the black staff and its awesome magic must find a successor to carry on the fight against the cresting new wave of evil. Praise for Terry Brooks: 'A master of the craft . . . required reading' Brent Weeks 'I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and re-read) over the years' Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Name of the Wind 'I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not for Shannara' Peter V. Brett, author of The Painted Man 'If you haven't read Terry Brooks, you haven't read fantasy' Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon Legends of Shannara: BEARERS OF THE BLACK STAFF THE MEASURE OF THE MAGIC

Download or read book The Library of Legends written by Janie Chang and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Library of Legends is a gorgeous, poetic journey threaded with mist and magic about a group from a Chinese university who take to the road to escape the Japanese invasion of 1937 – only to discover that danger stalks them from within. Janie Chang pens pure enchantment!” —Kate Quinn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network and The Huntress From the author of Three Souls and Dragon Springs Road comes a captivating historical novel—the third in a loosely-connected trilogy—in which a young woman travels across China with a convoy of student refugees, fleeing the hostilities of a brutal war with Japan. “Myths are the darkest and brightest incarnations of who we are…” China, 1937: When Japanese bombs begin falling on the city of Nanking, nineteen-year-old Hu Lian and her classmates at Minghua University are ordered to flee. Lian and a convoy of more than a hundred students, faculty, and staff must walk a thousand miles to the safety of China’s western provinces, a journey marred by hunger, cold, and the constant threat of aerial attack. And it is not just the student refugees who are at risk: Lian and her classmates have been entrusted with a priceless treasure, a 500-year-old collection of myths and folklore known as the Library of Legends. Her family’s past has made Lian wary of forming attachments, but the students’ common duty to safeguard the Library of Legends forms unexpected bonds. Lian finds friendship and a cautious romance with the handsome and wealthy Liu Shaoming. But after one classmate is murdered and another arrested, Lian realizes she must escape from the convoy before a family secret puts her in danger. Accompanied by Shao and the enigmatic maidservant Sparrow, Lian makes her way to Shanghai, hoping to reunite with her mother. On the journey, Lian learns of the connection between her two companions and a tale from the Library of Legends, The Willow Star and the Prince. Learning Shao and Sparrow’s true identities compels Lian to confront her feelings for Shao. But there are broader consequences too, for as the ancient books travel across China, they awaken immortals and guardian spirits to embark on an exodus of their own, one that changes the country’s fate forever. Based on true events, rich in Chinese history and lore, The Library of Legends is both an illuminating exploration of China’s recent past and an evocative tale of love, sacrifice, and the extraordinary power of storytelling.

But the enchanted barriers have crumbled, and the threat of annihilation looms large once more. As he lay dying, Sider Ament, bearer of the last black staff and protector of the valley, gave stewardship of the powerful talisman to the young Tracker Panterra Qu. Now the newly anointed Knight of the Word must take up the battle against evil wherever it threatens: from without, where an army of bloodthirsty Trolls is massing for invasion; and from within, where the Elf king of Arborlon has been murdered, his daughter stands accused, and a heinous conspiracy is poised to subjugate the kingdom. But even these affairs will pale beside the most harrowing menace Panterra is destined to confront—a nameless, merciless agent of darkness on a relentless mission: to claim the last black staff . . . and the life of whoever wields it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents an historical examination of political fact-checking, highlighting how this is part of a larger phenomenon of online scrutiny that manifests itself in multiple forms. Reflecting the long history of “fake facts” in America, the book discusses important developments in this area from the emergence of the public Internet in the 1990s to the start of the Trump-Clinton presidential election campaigns. Topics and features: describes how some of the major players in political fact-checking began with the purpose of scrutinizing and debunking of urban legends; considers how this was part of a wider culture, encompassing B-grade horror movies, truth-or-fiction television shows, and groups warning about computer viruses; explains how such developments are connected, revealing political fact-checking as one of many forms of scrutiny applied in the face of a complex, dangerous world; provides a range of detailed case studies, covering such topics as the rumors surrounding the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and academic interest in contemporary legends; discusses how pre-Internet technologies such as bulletin boards, Usenet, and proprietary online service providers such as CompuServe and AOL were used to both disseminate and debunk urban legends; examines the rise of political fact-checking, reviewing all of the major initiatives in this area undertaken in the United States. This timely study touches on issues of popular culture and major events, and offers profiles of colorful individuals and organizations, and as such will appeal to a broad audience interested in the history of fact-checking and efforts to protect the political process from falsehoods.
