Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragon Slayers, Incorporated is a California company that specializes in taking on impossible jobs. Their motto is, ‘Pay our fee and we will solve your problem, no matter what the job may be.’ The problem comes when a strange old man comes to them wanting them to do a job that is truly impossible, but he pays their fee. Their dilemma is simply that they cannot possibly do what he asked, but now they have to take the job anyway. DSI is the story of what happens when the unsuspecting team that the company sends on this crazy job ends up in real fantasy world, driving a Chevy van. They arrive with modern technology, but things immediately start acting oddly. Fortunately for them, they have a fantasy gaming expert with them, but this fantasy world just isn’t normal. The novel is a light hearted and fun story; sort of urban fantasy; even if both the people on the DSI team and the fantasy world they end up in are both a little off kilter. Join the DSI team as they take on magic, monsters, evil plots, and strange beings, all while trying to find their way back to Earth. But no matter what, they have a job to do, and Dragon Slayers, Incorporated always delivers!

Book Synopsis The Dragon in World Mythology and Culture by : Robert M. Sarwark
Download or read book The Dragon in World Mythology and Culture written by Robert M. Sarwark and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragons are everywhere, seemingly hidden in plain sight. These mythological reptilian monsters date far into known human history in nearly every part of the world and are still prevalent in today's media and entertainment. The wide cultural, geographical, and linguistic diffusion of dragons or dragon-like creatures shows how modern humans have influenced each other through shared tales of monsters while simultaneously hinting at a shared genesis. This book introduces dragon myths and legends from around the world by following human culture's shared evolutionary past via language, folklore, the arts, and commerce. Dragons in folklore, literature, and pop culture are analyzed from Eastern and Western perspectives, leading to a dual analysis of dragons in today's popular culture and media. While other books on the topic have focused primarily on classical sources, or on cataloging various dragon tales in general, this work identifies the subtle yet profound ways in which the dragon figure or related motifs have slyly entered into our collective psyche as participants in the modern, interconnected world.

Download or read book Dragon Slayers written by Jeremy Shipley and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragon Slayers is a fairy tale for grown-ups. It's a comedy, fantasy-adventure epic for the drunken children in all our hearts. Venture through a world of wild imagination. Experience the explosive fury of Mother Nature on an untamed planet still finding its face as it spins around the sun. Explore the semi-Victorian, modern, medieval, sorta steampunk weirdness of what can be best described as a prototype to what we would eventually call human civilization. Magic, madness, violence, carnage, booze, and bong hits in a hostile and dangerous world of monsters, magical creatures, demons, dinosaurs, giant birds, and psychedelic drugs! It's a truly wild and fantastic adventure unlike any other. A kingdom already struggling with your typical medieval problems--famine, plague, delusions of grandeur--suddenly suffers a horrific disaster, leaving part of the city destroyed. Thousands dead. Scared shitless and dumb as a box of rocks, the psychotic king sends a very small band of farmers and fishermen into the wild to hunt and kill the dragons responsible for the carnage. They are sent forth to die under penalty of death; they're high as a kite and running for their lives on a hopeless quest to confront the most dangerous apex predators on the planet. Dragon Slayers was once described as Game of Thrones as though written by Mel Brooks.
Book Synopsis Narration and Hero by : Victor Millet
Download or read book Narration and Hero written by Victor Millet and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early middle ages vernacular aristocratic traditions of heroic narration were firmly established in Western and Northern Europe. Although there are regional, linguistic and formal differences, one can observe a number of similarities. Oral literature disseminates a range of themes that are shared by narratives in most parts of the continent. In all the European regions, this tradition of heroic narration came into contact with Christianity, which led to modifications. Similar processes of adaptation and transformation can be traced everywhere in this field of early European vernacular narrative. But with the increasing specialization of academic fields over the last half century, inter-disciplinary dialogue has become increasingly difficult. The volume is a contribution to renew the inter-disciplinary dialogue about common themes, topics and motifs in Nordic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic literature, and about the different methodologies to explore them.

Book Synopsis The Dragon in Medieval East Christian and Islamic Art by : Sara Kuehn
Download or read book The Dragon in Medieval East Christian and Islamic Art written by Sara Kuehn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pioneering work on a key iconographic motif, that of the dragon. It examines the perception of this complex, multifaceted motif within the overall intellectual and visual universe of the medieval Irano-Turkish world. Using a broadly comparative approach, the author explores the ever-shifting semantics of the dragon motif as it emerges in neighbouring Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the relationship between the pre-Islamic, Islamic and Eastern Christian (especially Armenian) world. The study is fully illustrated, with 209 (b/w and full colour) plates, many of previously unpublished material. Illustrations include photographs of architectural structures visited by the author, as well as a vast collection of artefacts, all of which are described and discussed in detail with inscription readings, historical data and textual sources.

Book Synopsis From Patmos to the Barrio by : David A. Sánchez
Download or read book From Patmos to the Barrio written by David A. Sánchez and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanchez's subject is the power of imperial myths - and the subversive power unleashed when resistance movements take over those myths for their own purposes. Moving from John of Patmos's inversion of Roman imperial mythology in Revelation 12 to the indigenous appropriation of Spanish symbolism and mythology, drawn from Revelation 12, in 17th-century Mexico, Sanchez then explores the continuing power of the Virgin of Guadalupe (La Guadalupea) to inspire movements for a better society in our own day. From Patmos to the Barrio reveals new insights into the biblical Apocalypse of John, and the enduring power of its legacy down to the present day, as well as translations of two important 17th-century documents concerning La Guadalupea: Luis Laso de la Vego's Huei tlamahuiaoltica and Miguel Sanchez's Imagen de la Virgen Maria. Also included are images of La Guadalupea in the murals of East Los Angeles.

Book excerpt: Listen! For I sing of Owen Thorskard: valiant of heart, hopeless at algebra, last in a long line of legendary dragon slayers. Though he had few years and was not built for football, he stood between the town of Trondheim and creatures that threatened its survival. There have always been dragons. As far back as history is told, men and women have fought them, loyally defending their villages. Dragon slaying was a proud tradition. But dragons and humans have one thing in common: an insatiable appetite for fossil fuels. From the moment Henry Ford hired his first dragon slayer, no small town was safe. Dragon slayers flocked to cities, leaving more remote areas unprotected. Such was Trondheim's fate until Owen Thorskard arrived. At sixteen, with dragons advancing and his grades plummeting, Owen faced impossible odds—armed only with a sword, his legacy, and the classmate who agreed to be his bard. Listen! I am Siobhan McQuaid. I alone know the story of Owen, the story that changes everything. Listen!

Book Synopsis The Middle Ages in Computer Games by : Robert Houghton
Download or read book The Middle Ages in Computer Games written by Robert Houghton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers the most comprehensive analysis and discussion of medievalist computer games to date. Games with a medieval setting are commercially lucrative and reach a truly massive audience. Moreover, they can engage their players in a manner that is not only different, but in certain aspects, more profound than traditional literary or cinematic forms of medievalism. However, although it is important to understand the versions of the Middle Ages presented by these games, how players engage with these medievalist worlds, and why particular representational trends emerge in this most modern medium, there has hitherto been little scholarship devoted to them. This book explores the distinct nature of medievalism in digital games across a range of themes, from the portrayal of grotesque yet romantic conflict to conflicting depictions of the Church and religion. It likewise considers the distinctions between medievalist games and those of other periods, underlining their emphasis on fantasy, roleplay and hardcore elements, and their consequences for depictions of morality, race, gender and sexuality. Ultimately the book argues that while medievalist games are thoroughly influenced by medievalist and ludic tropes, they are nonetheless representative of a distinct new form of medievalism. It engages with the vast literature surrounding historical game studies, game design, and medievalism, and considers hundreds of games from across genres, from Assassin's Creed and Baldur's Gate to Crusader Kings and The Witcher series. In doing so, it provides a vital illustration of the state of the field and a cornerstone for future research and teaching.
