Book excerpt: In the small town of Quirksville, nestled at the edge of a gloomy forest, stood a mansion that was infamous for its eerie tales and ghostly lore. Whispers of hauntings and mysterious happenings surrounded it, painting a picture of doom and gloom. One fateful night, seven friends decided to embark on a ludicrous adventure into the heart of the haunted hilarity house. Ram, the brave leader, assembled the group at the town square with an over-the-top speech about conquering fears and proving that laughter was the best medicine, even for haunted mansions. Arun, the skeptical voice of reason, rolled his eyes but joined in, secretly hoping to debunk the supernatural. Seema and Reema, the dynamic daredevil duo, donned matching ghost-hunting gear complete with glow-in-the-dark stickers. Jacque, the lovable goofball, brought a whoopee cushion, insisting that no ghost could resist a good laugh. Jack, the resident joker, carried a bag of rubber chickens and confetti, prepared to turn the haunted house into a whimsical wonderland. Amol, the quiet observer, had a camera ready to 6 HILARIOUS HAUNTED HOUSE capture the absurdity that was sure to unfold. As they approached the haunted hilarity house, the moon cast an eerie glow on its dilapidated facade. The friends exchanged nervous glances, their apprehension momentarily overshadowed by the absurdity of their mission. Ram took a deep breath and theatrically pushed open the creaky gate. The mansion seemed to groan in protest, as if the very walls were skeptical of the impending comedy invasion. The friends stepped into the grand entrance hall, and Ram declared, “Onward, brave companions! Let hilarity reign supreme!” The grand staircase loomed ahead, and Arun couldn’t resist muttering, “I hope the ghosts appreciate a good punchline.” Seema and Reema, undeterred, took the lead, their glow-in-the-dark stickers casting a surreal glow on the dusty floor. Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind them, and the friends jumped in exaggerated fright. Jacque seized the mo- ment, activating his whoopee cushion with impeccable timing, prompting peals of laughter that echoed through the mansion. Even Arun cracked a smile, realizing that maybe this haunted house adventure wouldn’t be as serious as he thought. As they explored the mansion, bizarre occurrences unfolded. Doors opened to reveal rooms filled with inflatable pool toys instead of ominous specters. The walls seemed to ripple with laughter, and Jack couldn’t resist tossing confetti into the air, creating a whimsical atmosphere that defied the spooky setting. In the dining room, a long table was set for an imaginary feast. The friends sat down, pretending to dine on ghostly delicacies while making ghostly chewing sounds. Amol captured the absurdity on camera, the flash illuminating the ghostly banquet in a surreal display. The group reached the attic, where dusty trunks revealed 7 SEVEN FRIENDS... peculiar costumes from bygone eras. Jacque emerged as the mansion’s resident ghost, complete with a bedsheet draped over him. The friends erupted into laughter, with Arun joking, “Finally, a ghost who knows how to accessorize!” In the heart of the mansion, they stumbled upon a room filled with ancient board games. The friends eagerly started a ghostly game of Monopoly, with Jack insisting on using rubber chickens as currency. As they played, the mansion seemed to shake with ghostly chuckles, as if the spirits were enjoying the absurdity as much as the friends were. As the clock struck midnight, the friends found themselves in a grand hall with a chandelier that swayed ominously overhead. Ram, feeling the need for a dramatic moment, declared, “Behold, the heart of the hilarity! Let the laughter echo through these haunted halls!” Just as he finished his proclamation, the chandelier dipped unexpectedly, and the friends dove in different directions, narrowly avoiding a comedic catastrophe. Laughter echoed through the mansion, blending with the ghostly wails in a surreal symphony of absurdity. The group discovered a hidden library filled with dusty books. Seema, always up for a challenge, randomly picked a book and dramatically began reading from it. To everyone’s surprise, the words seemed to transform into nonsensical jokes, and the room filled with uproarious laughter. As they continued their exploration, the mansion’s mis- chievous energy reached its peak. Furniture rearranged itself into peculiar configurations, creating a whimsical obstacle course. Jack, undeterred, decided to navigate the furniture maze while juggling rubber chickens, turning the haunted house into a sideshow of slapstick comedy. 8 HILARIOUS HAUNTED HOUSE In the cellar, the friends stumbled upon an ancient piano. Jacque, never one to resist the call of music, sat down and began playing a haunting melody with a humorous twist. The friends, inspired by the unexpected concert, joined in a ghostly dance, their laughter echoing through the underground chambers. As the night wore on, the friends felt a strange camaraderie with the mansion’s supernatural inhabitants. It was as if the ghosts had decided to trade their haunting routine for a night of absurd amusement. The friends, in turn, embraced the ghostly guffaws, turning the haunted house into a haven of laughter. In the early hours of the morning, the group emerged from the haunted hilarity house, their faces flushed from laughter and their spirits lifted by the unexpected joy of the night. The mansion, now bathed in the soft glow of dawn, seemed to sigh with contentment, as if the laughter of the living had temporarily dispelled its haunted aura. As the friends bid farewell to the haunted hilarity house, they couldn’t help but look back one last time. The mansion, with its crumbling facade, stood as a silent witness to the absurdity of the night. The town of Quirksville would forever remember the seven friends who turned a haunted house into a house of hilarious horrors, proving that sometimes, laughter was the most potent magic against the supernatural. And so, the friends left the haunted hilarity house behind, forever etched in the ghostly annals of Quirksville as the laughter-bringers who turned fear into farce.

Book Synopsis The Masks of Keats by : Thomas McFarland
Download or read book The Masks of Keats written by Thomas McFarland and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the poetic endeavour of John Keats and urges that his true poetry is uniquely constituted by being uttered through three artificial masks, rather than through the natural voice of his quotidian self. The first mask is formed by the attitudes and reality that ensue from aconscious commitment to the identity of poet as such. The second, called here the Mask of Camelot, takes shape from Keats's acceptance and compelling use of the vogue for medieval imaginings that was sweeping across Europe in his time. The third, the Mask of Hellas, eventuated from Keats'senthusiastic immersion in the rising tide of Romantic Hellenism. Keats's great achievement, the book argues, can only be ascertained by means of a resuscitation of the defunct critical category of 'genius', as that informs his use of the masks. To validate this category, the volume is concernedthroughout with the necessity of discriminating the truly poetic from the meretricious in Keats's endeavour. The Masks of Keats thus constitutes a criticism of and a rebuke to the deconstructive approach, which must treat all texts as equal and must entirely forego the conception of quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping novel set during Mussolini’s 1935 invasion of Ethiopia, The Shadow King takes us back to the first real conflict of World War II, casting light on the women soldiers who were left out of the historical record. With the threat of Mussolini’s army looming, recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a maid in Kidane and his wife Aster’s household. Kidane, an officer in Emperor Haile Selassie’s army, rushes to mobilize his strongest men before the Italians invade. His initial kindness to Hirut shifts into a flinty cruelty when she resists his advances, and Hirut finds herself tumbling into a new world of thefts and violations, of betrayals and overwhelming rage. Meanwhile, Mussolini’s technologically advanced army prepares for an easy victory. Hundreds of thousands of Italians—Jewish photographer Ettore among them—march on Ethiopia seeking adventure. As the war begins in earnest, Hirut, Aster, and the other women long to do more than care for the wounded and bury the dead. When Emperor Haile Selassie goes into exile and Ethiopia quickly loses hope, it is Hirut who offers a plan to maintain morale. She helps disguise a gentle peasant as the emperor and soon becomes his guard, inspiring other women to take up arms against the Italians. But how could she have predicted her own personal war as a prisoner of one of Italy’s most vicious officers, who will force her to pose before Ettore’s camera? What follows is a gorgeously crafted and unputdownable exploration of female power, with Hirut as the fierce, original, and brilliant voice at its heart. In incandescent, lyrical prose, Maaza Mengiste breathes life into complicated characters on both sides of the battle line, shaping a heartrending, indelible exploration of what it means to be a woman at war.

Book excerpt: In my darkest hour, at rock bottom, when all I had ever loved was lost, everything I’ve ever had has been stripped from me, all alone naked with nothing but solitude. At my cross roads where there can only be two outcomes, to rise from the depths of darkness or be broken by it. In my most desperate hour while stumbling like a blind man not able to see his path, tripping over things as I stagger and crawl, not knowing which way is forward, with no light to guide me, I reflected on my past and all its events and circumstances, looking at every detail and what I had leant from it in search of answers to find the strength to keep on going and in that search I found knowledge and wisdom. This book is my path from the clutches of hell into the kingdom of heaven, I needed a miracle and in this book I found one. Army of Christ is my heart and soul poured onto paper, I needed to understand my past in order to understand my present, 90% of solving a problem is being able to recognize it, my situation was infinite in knowledge and to understand it required more than knowledge, it required faith, and through faith I found seventeen steps to eternity. Every event in my life up to this point had been preparing me for this fight, giving me the tools to battle my way through this psychological and spiritual war that lay before me. This book is the story of the Phoenix rising from the ashes to lay claim to life and his right to live it, every day from this day on will be beautiful with blue skies, green trees, children playing and a love and appreciation for everything good in the universe, for I found something on my journey that can never be taken from me “the God within myself”.

Book Synopsis The Dictator's Shadow by : Heraldo Munoz
Download or read book The Dictator's Shadow written by Heraldo Munoz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augusto Pinochet was the most important Third World dictator of the Cold War, and perhaps the most ruthless. In The Dictator's Shadow, United Nations Ambassador Heraldo Munoz takes advantage of his unmatched set of perspectives -- as a former revolutionary who fought the Pinochet regime, as a respected scholar, and as a diplomat -- to tell what this extraordinary figure meant to Chile, the United States, and the world. Pinochet's American backers saw his regime as a bulwark against Communism; his nation was a testing ground for U.S.-inspired economic theories. Countries desiring World Bank support were told to emulate Pinochet's free-market policies, and Chile's government pension even inspired President George W. Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. The other baggage -- the assassinations, tortures, people thrown out of airplanes, mass murders of political prisoners -- was simply the price to be paid for building a modern state. But the questions raised by Pinochet's rule still remain: Are such dictators somehow necessary? Horrifying but also inspiring, The Dictator's Shadow is a unique tale of how geopolitical rivalries can profoundly affect everyday life.
