Book excerpt: I. Remember. Everything. Only now I wish I didn’t. When the fog is sucked away from my mind like smoke through a vacuum, the truth that has been beyond my reach for months finally reveals itself. But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed. Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know. I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day. He’s already saved me in more ways than one. Now it’s my turn to do whatever it takes to save him. Even if that means marrying someone else...
Download or read book The Tyrant King written by Ogoh Nwaeze and published by ShieldCrest. This book was released on 2012 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eziga community is located between the Uboru and Isuru communities but neither is friendly with it. Eziga had been defeated by both in communal wars and now pays tributes to them as a result. But a warrior has been born in Eziga by the name of Nome Utara and under his leadership; members of Eziga have defeated both Uboru and Isuru in recent wars, thereby setting it free from paying annual tributes to them. Nome Utara instantly becomes a hero and consequently is crowned the King of Eziga. As their King, Nome asks his community to marry a wife for him, build a house, feed and clothe him with all members of his household. His frame, strength and character are such that no human being can muster the courage to challenge him or refuse to carry out his orders. He takes beautiful and fat women and girls by force as his wives or concubines. These women are those whose fathers or mothers are indebted to the King s father or mother in any amount of money. They are condemned to perpetual sexual exploitation by or servitude to the King. He takes his subjects goats, yams and clothes by force for the upkeep of numerous members of his family. The King takes everything he wants, including women, married or not, from his subjects by force and nobody could challenge or stop him. He needs no advice and seeks none from anybody. His life revolves around having marathon sexual intercourse with women and fat girls by force, eating food produced by and seized from his subjects, judging them and executing the judgments. As the King has begun to seize fat and beautiful girls in his community for sexual enjoyment, such girls resort to robing their urine and faeces on their bodies; ashes on their faces or dressing with tattered clothes while going to their farms or to the market to avoid being seized by the King s errand boys. Some of them run away to neighbouring communities to avoid becoming one of the King s numerous wives. The King functions as the executive, legislature and judiciary. He makes laws, judges his people and instantly executes his judgments to which there is no appeal. His sentences include strangulation, dirty slaps, dancing naked round the convict s village, servitude to him or ostracism from Eziga community. Members of the King s cabinet dare not challenge his orders or risk being strangled to death. Hard work and orderliness prevail. There is absolute, even if forced, peace, love and prosperity in Eziga community as no one wanted to be given a dirty slap by the King for his indiscipline. There is so much tranquillity in the community that you would think that tyranny is the best form of government. The King feels threatened by the coming of Christianity into his community as he does not want to share his power with any other being whether called God, Jesus Christ or Holy Spirit. He vows to stop it. To do this, he persecutes Christians and kills many of them. They write a petition to the colonial government against him. The government asks him to hand over the administration of Eziga community to a foreigner but he refuses. The King with his numerous children and servants vow to fight the colonial government to the last drop of their blood in order to retain his governance of his community and save it from falling into the hands of colonial powers thereby desecrating their customs and traditions. They prepare for a war with the colonialists in advance and took down a lot of them during the fighting that ensues subsequently. King Nome Utara and his soldiers are however defeated in the war by the colonial government. He is caught alive but instead of waiting to be sentenced to death by hanging, he fights till his death at the hands of mobile policemen from the police headquarters. Even at death, the awesomeness of late King Nome Utara still pervades Eziga community.

Book Synopsis The Last King of America by : Andrew Roberts
Download or read book The Last King of America written by Andrew Roberts and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 1033 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Churchill and Napoleon The last king of America, George III, has been ridiculed as a complete disaster who frittered away the colonies and went mad in his old age. The truth is much more nuanced and fascinating--and will completely change the way readers and historians view his reign and legacy. Most Americans dismiss George III as a buffoon--a heartless and terrible monarch with few, if any, redeeming qualities. The best-known modern interpretation of him is Jonathan Groff's preening, spitting, and pompous take in Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway masterpiece. But this deeply unflattering characterization is rooted in the prejudiced and brilliantly persuasive opinions of eighteenth-century revolutionaries like Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, who needed to make the king appear evil in order to achieve their own political aims. After combing through hundreds of thousands of pages of never-before-published correspondence, award-winning historian Andrew Roberts has uncovered the truth: George III was in fact a wise, humane, and even enlightened monarch who was beset by talented enemies, debilitating mental illness, incompetent ministers, and disastrous luck. In The Last King of America, Roberts paints a deft and nuanced portrait of the much-maligned monarch and outlines his accomplishments, which have been almost universally forgotten. Two hundred and forty-five years after the end of George III's American rule, it is time for Americans to look back on their last king with greater understanding: to see him as he was and to come to terms with the last time they were ruled by a monarch.

Book Synopsis Hero or Tyrant? Henry III, King of France, 1574-89 by : Professor Robert J Knecht
Download or read book Hero or Tyrant? Henry III, King of France, 1574-89 written by Professor Robert J Knecht and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Henry III of France has not suffered well at the hands of posterity. Generally depicted as at best a self-indulgent, ineffectual ruler, and at worst a debauched tyrant responsible for a series of catastrophic political blunders, his reputation has long been a poor one. Yet recent scholarship has begun to question the validity of this judgment and look for a more rounded assessment of the man and his reign. For, as this new biography of Henry demonstrates, there is far more to this fascinating monarch than the pantomime villain depicted by previous generations of historians and novelists. Based upon a rich and diverse range of primary sources, this book traces Henry’s life from his birth in 1551, the sixth child of Henri II and Catherine de’ Medici. It following his upbringing as the Wars of Religion began to tear France apart, his election as king of Poland in 1573, and his assumption of the French crown a year later following the death of his brother Charles IX. The first English-language biography of Henry for over 150 years, this study thoroughly and dispassionately reassesses his life in light of recent scholarship and in the context of broader European diplomatic, political and religious history. In so doing the book not only provides a more nuanced portrait of the monarch himself, but also helps us better understand the history of France during this traumatic time.

Book Synopsis Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics by : Stephen Greenblatt
Download or read book Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics written by Stephen Greenblatt and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brilliant, beautifully organized, exceedingly readable."—Philip Roth World-renowned Shakespeare scholar Stephen Greenblatt explores the playwright’s insight into bad (and often mad) rulers. Examining the psyche—and psychoses—of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear, and Coriolanus, Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the disasters visited upon the societies over which these characters rule. Tyrant shows that Shakespeare’s work remains vitally relevant today, not least in its probing of the unquenchable, narcissistic appetites of demagogues and the self-destructive willingness of collaborators who indulge them.

Book Synopsis Shahrzad and the Angry King by : Nahid Kazemi
Download or read book Shahrzad and the Angry King written by Nahid Kazemi and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rebel dreamer of a girl daydreams about her role in making the world a better place—and since dreams bleed into reality, maybe she really does. A KirkusReviews Best Beginning Reader of 2022! Shahrzad and the Angry King is a contemporary reimagining of the Scheherazade tale, starring scooter-riding, story-loving Shahrzad. Shahrzad loves stories and looks for them everywhere. When she meets a boy and asks him to tell her his story, he recounts fleeing a country that was peaceful and happy, until its grieving king grew angry and cruel. Shahrzad can't forget the boy and his story, and so, when she sees a toy airplane in a store, she imagines herself zooming off to the boy's home country, where she confronts the king, to make him reflect on the kind of leader he really wants to be. Like Scheherazade, she tells the king story after story, but this time not to save her own life, but those of the king's people and his own. Because Shahrzad knows the power of the creative imagination and that the stories we tell and the words we use shape our very existence. We live and die by the sword? Not exactly, says Shahrzad. We live or die by the stories we tell and how we see, frame, and word the world. Brought to life by Iranian artist Nahid Kazemi, this bold heroine reminds us of how powerfully intertwined reality is with the stories we tell.
