Book excerpt: Once in a long while, appears a writer who is, "literally," extra-ordinary. Less extraordinarily, the works of such writers are routinely published to deaf ears: Before Moby Dick, Melville had scored two popular successes with tales of adventure on the South Seas. His finest work, spurned by contemporary American readers, was a commercial failure. Ironically, the high place now occupied by Melville's American classic is vindicated--perhaps inadvertently--in the name brand of a highly popular and successful billion-dollar corporate retailer of coffee beverages. Ironically again, the hugely successful Catcher In The Rye was cited in self-defense of a failed presidential assassin. One moral of the story: In the near term, commercially unsuccessful books fail to gain the readers they may deserve; in the long, successful ones deserve the readers they get. Irony and Obscurity, first cousins to the recluse, Truth, are no strangers to J Lilly. True to his roots, Lilly has "leveraged" his training in the Greek and Roman classics into a latter-day version of the Greco-Roman literary farce, which numbers post-classical practitioners as varied as Swift and Nabokov. (Contrary to received wisdom, Lolita and Gulliver's Travels are not stories about or for children.) Wise Hyenas is a very novel ghost story for very mature readers, told from multiple points of view monitored by a Julio-Claudian observer of present-day American mores. Wise Hyenas is not a book for the culturally myopic or inattentive, the neo-puritanically moral, the artistically invertebrate, the politically punctilious, the merely legally sane. Nor is it a book for alt-Kultur reactionaries with a reflexive preference for a mythopoeic American Paradise Lost. It is a book for the studiously wise, weary of a voyeuristic society, in which the distinction between licentiousness and liberty has been perilously and perversely obscured. Caveat lector-Let the reader beware. She is about to enter a free-spin zone. Cover art work entitled Miro Scultore, by Joan Miro

Book excerpt: /head Once upon a time there was a little girl called Alexandra who asked her daddy, “Daddy, please tell me a stoooweee”. Well this is my story on how I created thousands of children stories. These stories come from a world where animals of all kinds all talk and learn, like children, about life. Around the age of three my daughter got tired of me reading little kiddy stories and asked me “Daddy, please tell me a stoooweee”. So every night I would make up a new short story. One day, when she was 7 years old, I decided to tape these stories so she could hear them over and over. Well that went on for 7 more years with over 110 hours and over 3,000 stories. There are so many stories that I will have to write many more volumes. So here we are, the first book is published and now kids all over the world can enjoy them as my daughter did for many years. The time you spend with your child is most rewarding. Never get tired of loving, kissing and hugging them, no matter how old they get. Please view the book website by Clicking here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pity represents a combination of fear, helplessness and overwhelming agitation. It is a term which suffuses our everyday lives; it is also a dangerous term hovering between approval of sympathy and disapproval of emotional wallowing (as in 'self-pity'). This book traces an entire history of pity, as an emotion and as an element in the arts, engaging as it does so with a wealth of theoretical ideas including Freud, Derrida, Levinas and others. It begins with an 'Introduction: Distinguishing Pity', followed by chapters on the Aristotelian framework; Buddhism and pity; the pieta in the Middle Ages and Renaissance; Shakespeare on pity; Milton's pitiless Christianity; pity and charity in the early novel; Blake's views on pity; the Victorian debate, from Austen to Dickens and George Eliot; Brecht and Chekhov on pity and self-pity; 'war, and the pity of war'; Jean Rhys and Stevie Smith; pity, immigration and the colony; and finally three contemporary texts by Michel Faber, Kazuo Ishiguro and Cormac McCarthy.Features* Original treatment of the concept of pity providing detailed textual criticism and speculative argument* Wide-ranging: running from ancient Greek theory to the present day* Covers a wide variety of texts, including fiction, poetry and drama* Engages with the most recent theoretical debates about literature and the emotions

Book excerpt: Hyenas are almost universally regarded as nasty, scheming charlatans that skulk in the back alleyways of the animal kingdom. They have been scorned for centuries as little more than scavenging carrion-eaters, vandals, and thieves. Here to restore the Hyena’s reputation is Mikita Brottman, who offers an alternate view of these mistreated and misunderstood creatures and proves that they are complex, intelligent, and highly sociable animals. Investigating representations of the hyena throughout history, Brottman divulges that the hyena, though shrouded in taboo, has been the source of talismanic objects since the ancient Greek and Roman empires. She discovers that many cultures use parts of the hyena—from excrement and blood to genitalia and hair—to make charms that both avert evil and promote fertility. Brottman also considers representations of hyenas in today’s popular fiction, including The Lion King and The Life of Pi,where they are often depicted as villains, cowardly henchmen, or clowns, while ignoring their more noble qualities. Rightly returning hyenas to their proper place in the animal pantheon, this richly illustrated book will be enjoyed by any animal lover with an interest in the unusual and offbeat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new essays in this collection examine newer forms of colonialism operating today in an increasingly globalized world. Recognizing the complexities and culpability of postcolonial politics, the contributors fill gaps that exist at theoretical levels of postcolonial studies. By studying film, literature, history and architecture, they arrive at new ideas about immigration, gender, cultural translation, identity and the future. The collection is driven by notions of ethics, an increasingly influential force at the grassroots if not the international level, addressing capitalism and its attendant drawbacks throughout the course of the book.

Book excerpt: David Cobbington's high profile job with The Jockey Club of South Africa draws him into a web of deceit and complicity, pitting him against a man who will induce the ultimate destruction of his comfortable, affluent life. Anton Medli is the man who becomes David's perfidious and relentless nemesis. The unctuous Corsican is a man for whom thoroughbred racing is both a business and a pleasure and whose only philosophy is money. Known in racing circles as The Meddler, he engineers not only the demolition of David's quiet gentlemanly existence, but eventually the lives of both his brother, Kit, and their influential and wealthy father. The action shifts from the dusty highveldt of Johannesburg, to the wild, blond savannah of Kenya and, finally, to the neon smeared metropolis of Hong Kong. The choices that the two brothers make, whether recklessly, blindly or judiciously are irrevocable and David becomes trapped in a moral maze when both he and his brother step beyond the boundaries of the law. The denouement comes as a shocking and thought-provoking twist in this riveting story of a doomed family, whose integrity and tenets are shattered by the provocations of Anton Medli and his cohorts.

Book excerpt: Dr. Jonathan Goodman is desperate to cure his son Daniel's cancer. His wife, Lilith, becomes pregnant with another child, a sibling whose DNA can potentially cure Daniel. Their hopes are dashed when a genetic disorder is detected in their unborn child. When Daniel dies and their unborn child miscarries, grief and devastation splinter the couple's bond. Under emotional duress but driven to honor Daniel's memory, Jonathan, a brilliant medical researcher, makes a major breakthrough using genetically modified laboratory mice. He develops a novel treatment for several disease clusters, including cancer. Bypassing all protocols to push his findings forward, Goodman unethically secures approval and funding for a human clinical trial. With enough funding for four participants, Goodman carefully chooses those upon whom he'll experiment. Each participant faces a terminal illness, and Dr. Goodman's exploratory treatment is their last hope for survival. Despite his noble intentions, Goodman is motivated to exorcise the demons that haunt him. Those spirits, however, also besiege each member of the clinical trial. Lives will be forever changed-and possibly lost. Saving those whom Goodman has put in harm's way and saving what is left of his family and career presents an almost insurmountable challenge.

Book excerpt: In the Spring of 19- I took a sabbatical from the University of C-, over-the-seas branch, Kawagawa, Cipan where I had been working towards the postponement of a doctoral degree in the dual fields of comparative histrionics and cryptophilology. The cause of my departure: that I would pursue an ancillary degree elsewhere, although some may have observed that I had rather quietly suffered a nervous breakdown. The simple, more economical pretext, however, was that I was maddeningly overworked and shamefully underemployed. Repatriated, I finally took a job in S. Hollywood with a talent agency founded by a wealthy, enlightened Japanese autodidact of Western Culture, or "Sei Bun" as Kennichi-"Ken" to his friends-Chibita-"Chibi" by the same friends-liked to call it, who claimed, but could never quite document, a connection with his own royal family. Ken had entered the film business with the intention of "Making Movies That Make The Differences And Represent A Goal Of Universal Culture," a letterhead slogan that fell just short of the felicitous. He idolized the silver-screen impresario Alexandr Korda, and would have emulated him. Accordingly, Kenchan had acquired a reputation for his readiness to buy, at cut-rate prices, the rights to stories or, should we say, fragments of stories, incomplete or in a state of hopeless disarray, ones such as other agencies would have refused as unrepresentable. In principle we operated much like corporate marauders, but in the reverse: We bought up under-producing literary properties and then reassembled them into "marginally" profitable entities.
