Book excerpt: Edo, the capital of Japan, 1907. Helen Motosu is in deep mourning after the death of her husband, private investigator Shigeru Motosu. Restricted to caring for her young children and keeping her brother-in-law from his self-destructive habits, Helen feels stagnated and unchallenged. Until the charismatic Mitsuo Okabe, one of Edo's mayors, requests the Motosus' help in solving the murder of his brother, an energy scientist working on a solar-powered bullet train. The main suspect is a Russian prostitute who was with Dr. Okabe the night he died. Mayor Okabe knows that his brother had enemies in the city, rivals in the development of new energy technologies. The Russian girl refuses to cooperate with the Japanese police, but Mayor Okabe hopes that a foreign woman can convince her to reveal what she witnessed that night. Helen has never actively investigated anything on her own. To solve this crime, she must navigate Japan's scientific circles while maintaining her own precarious social position. Without her, an innocent young woman could lose her life, and a violent murderer will be free to kill again. WIDOW'S WEEDS is the first in an alternate history mystery series set in Japan. Set in a "steampunk-lite" timeline, the world of the Motosu Mysteries is slightly different from our own. Steam-power and clockwork are giving way to new technologies such as solar-power and electro-power. Imagine the world of Sherlock Holmes combined with a Ghibli movie, and you're quite close to the setting and tone of the Motosu Mysteries series.

Download or read book Behind Closed Doors written by Amanda Vickery and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-17 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The Gentleman’s Daughter,a witty and academic illumination of daily domestic life in Georgian England. In this brilliant work, Amanda Vickery unlocks the homes of Georgian England to examine the lives of the people who lived there. Writing with her customary wit and verve, she introduces us to men and women from all walks of life: gentlewoman Anne Dormer in her stately Oxfordshire mansion, bachelor clerk and future novelist Anthony Trollope in his dreary London lodgings, genteel spinsters keeping up appearances in two rooms with yellow wallpaper, servants with only a locking box to call their own. Vickery makes ingenious use of upholsterer’s ledgers, burglary trials, and other unusual sources to reveal the roles of house and home in economic survival, social success, and political representation during the long eighteenth century. Through the spread of formal visiting, the proliferation of affordable ornamental furnishings, the commercial celebration of feminine artistry at home, and the currency of the language of taste, even modest homes turned into arenas of social campaign and exhibition. The basis of a 3-part TV series for BBC2. “Vickery is that rare thing, an…historian who writes like a novelist.”—Jane Schilling, Daily Mail “Comparison between Vickery and Jane Austen is irresistible…This book is almost too pleasurable, in that Vickery's style and delicious nosiness conceal some seriously weighty scholarship.”—Lisa Hilton, The Independent “If until now the Georgian home has been like a monochrome engraving, Vickery has made it three dimensional and vibrantly colored. Behind Closed Doors demonstrates that rigorous academic work can also be nosy, gossipy, and utterly engaging.”—Andrea Wulf, New York Times Book Review

This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a novel approach that adapts Freud’s theory of the Primal Crime, this book examines a wealth of ethnographic data on the Gimi of the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, focusing on women’s lives, myths, and rituals. Women’s and men’s separate myths and rites may be ‘read’ as a cycle of blame about which sex caused the ills of human existence and is still at fault. However, the author demonstrates that in public rites of exchange in which both sexes participate, men appropriate and subvert women’s usages as a ritual strategy to ‘undo’ motherhood and confiscate children at puberty. In doing so, she reveals how Gimi women both rebel against the male-dominated social order and express understanding of why they also acquiesce. The result of decades of fieldwork, writing and reflection, this book offers an analysis of Gimi women’s complex understanding of their situation and presents a nuanced picture of women in a society dominated by men. It represents an important contribution to New Guinea ethnography that will appeal to students and scholars of psychoanalysis, gender studies, and cultural, social and psychoanalytic anthropology.

Download or read book Facing the Revocation written by Carolyn Chappell Lougee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner- Best Scholarly Work, National Huguenot Society, 2018 The Edict of Nantes ended the civil wars of the Reformation in 1598 by making France a kingdom with two religions. Catholics could worship anywhere, while Protestants had specific locations where they were sanctioned to worship. Over the coming decades Protestants' religious freedom and civil privileges eroded until the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, issued under Louis XIV in 1685, criminalized their religion. The Robillard de Champagné, a noble family, were among those facing the Revocation. They and their co-religionists confronted the difficult decision whether to obey this new law and convert, feign conversion and remain privately Protestant, or break the law and attempt to flee secretly in what was the first modern mass migration. In this sweeping family saga, Carolyn Chappell Lougee narrates how the Champagné family's persecution and Protestant devotion unsettled their economic advantages and social standing. The family provides a window onto the choices that individuals and their kin had to make in these trying circumstances, the agency of women within families, and the consequences of their choices. Lougee traces the lives of the family members who escaped; the kin and community members who decided to stay, both complying with and resisting the king's will; and those who resettled in Britain and Prussia, where they adapted culturally and became influential members of society. She challenges the narrative Huguenots told over subsequent generations about the deeper faith of those who opted for exile and the venal qualities of those who remained in France. A masterful and moving account of the Hugenots, Facing the Revocation offers a deeply personal perspective on one of the greatest acts of religious intolerance in history.

Download or read book Judith written by Deborah Levine Gera and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Judith has aroused a great deal of scholarly interest in the last few decades.This volume, the first full length commentary on Judith to appear in over 25 years, includes a new translation and a detailed verse-by-verse commentary, which touches upon philological, literary, and historical questions. The extensive introduction discusses the work's date and historical background, and looks closely at the controversial question of the book's original language. Biblical influences on the book's setting, characters, plot, and language are investigated, and the heroine, Judith is viewed against the background of biblical women (and men). The influence of classical Greek writers such as Herodotus and Ctesias on the work is noted, as are the interesting differences between the Septuagint and Vulgate versions of Judith.
