Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whispers of the Obscure," the inaugural entry in the Chronicles of Dingus, weaves a rich tapestry of magic, intrigue, and character development set against the backdrop of the fictional realm of Thang. The narrative follows the adventures of Dingus, a young apprentice alchemist, as he uncovers hidden truths and embraces a destiny larger than he ever imagined. The story begins in the quaint village of Elmbrook, where Dingus, under the tutelage of the wise but eccentric alchemist Shemp, learns the subtle art of potion-making and basic spellwork. Dingus's life takes a dramatic turn when Selbin, a mysterious traveler with a past intertwined with Shemp’s, arrives in the village. Selbin brings tales of a world beyond Elmbrook, filled with ancient relics, forgotten magics, and a powerful group known as The Order. As the story unfolds, Dingus is unwittingly drawn into a larger world of magic and power. He discovers that he possesses latent magical abilities, setting him on a path to uncovering his true potential. Alongside Selbin and Shemp, Dingus embarks on a quest to find a mystical relic, believed to be key in tilting the balance of power in a world dominated by The Order. Throughout their journey, the trio encounters a range of characters, from the enigmatic Brute, a seemingly simple blacksmith with hidden depths, to the members of The Order, who seek to control magic and maintain their grip on the kingdom. The novel masterfully intertwines Dingus’s personal growth with the broader theme of freedom versus control in the world of magic. The climax of the book is set in Apollyon, an ancient magical city now in ruins. Here, Dingus and his companions face the ultimate test of their abilities and convictions. The quest concludes with the discovery of the relic, awakening Dingus's magical powers and setting the stage for future adventures.

Book Synopsis A Room of One's Own by : Virginia Woolf
Download or read book A Room of One's Own written by Virginia Woolf and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Woolf's playful exploration of a satirical »Oxbridge« became one of the world's most groundbreaking writings on women, writing, fiction, and gender. A Room of One's Own [1929] can be read as one or as six different essays, narrated from an intimate first-person perspective. Actual history blends with narrative and memoir. But perhaps most revolutionary was its address: the book is written by a woman for women. Male readers are compelled to read through women's eyes in a total inversion of the traditional male gaze. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.

Book Synopsis Contemplating Everyday Texts: An Interdisciplinary Review by : Professor Satnam Kaur
Download or read book Contemplating Everyday Texts: An Interdisciplinary Review written by Professor Satnam Kaur and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has a collection of twenty papers by scholarly authors who have discussed various issues and subject matters that explore multiple perspectives from different disciplines, sub-disciplines and areas of expertise. The book provides rich theoretical descriptions and hands-on approach that is conceptual and practical and reflects advances in the literature on research, learning, and assessment. Multiple perceptions produce deeper understanding or illumination, viable solution or a product that creatively and innovatively accommodates different perspectives. As a maturing academic field, interdisciplinary studies needs to define itself to make the case that interdisciplinarity is, in fact, contributing something distinctive and valuable to the academy and to society. The movement is from the most general to the more specific, from breadth to depth. An Interdisciplinary insight is an expert’s view on a particular problem that is based on research. This approach is produced when the interdisciplinary research process is used to create an integrated and purposeful result. In this book, disciplinary experts, scholars and students have to produce insights. The edited book highlights the valuable ideas, views, outlook, observations and thoughts in the form of chapters by authors from reputed institutions across India. It is a complete package, consisting of an interdisciplinary review of diverse ideas and considerations highlighted by the authors belonging to different disciplines. Modern technological developments and globalization add to the complexity of problems and in response, an integrated approach is very much required. Each author’s focus is on another innovative factor at a different level of analysis, using different theoretical frameworks, and different methodologies. These various aspects discussed and displayed through the interdisciplinary examination, in fact, stimulate and invigorate the aspiring research scholars, academicians, researchers to look deeper into some of the issues for further exploration. It will be, indeed, a very good reading the miscellaneous discussion about integrative research papers which is a sort of innovation—that is, change—in the means of knowledge production. Here the researchers thoroughly studied the subject and integrate the information to produce new understandings and meanings.
