Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich...or dead. Helen Vaughan doesn't know why she and her mother left their ancestral home at Harrowstone Hall, called Harrow, or why they haven't spoken to their extended family since. So when her grandfather dies, she's shocked to learn that he has left everything—the house, the grounds, and the money—to her. The inheritance comes with one condition: she must stay on the grounds of Harrow for one full year, or she'll be left with nothing. There is more at stake than money. For as long as she can remember, Harrow has haunted Helen's dreams—and now those dreams have become a waking nightmare. Helen knows that if she is going to survive the year, she needs to uncover the secrets of Harrow. Why is the house built like a labyrinth? What is digging the holes that appear in the woods each night?And why does the house itself seem to be making her sick? With each twisted revelation, Helen questions what she knows about Harrow, her family, and even herself. She no longer wonders if she wants to leave…but if she can.

Book excerpt: Forest of Fleeting Shadows takes young readers on a journey of discovery to Peridot, a fantasy realm where life is not ruled by a clock, but by nature and the changing of the seasons. The book follows two young witch sisters, Sapphire and Saffron, who become estranged after they fall in love with the same man. The wickedness of their feud is felt by many living in the forest and the situation is only made worse when King Thoden intervenes and unwittingly helps the wrong sister. After Sapphire is cursed with crippling old age by her sister, she begins a journey to reclaim her former life, forming an unlikely friendship with two misfit goblins along the way. But before she can find the allies she has been searching for, Sapphire faces a series of conflicts and a dramatic confrontation with her sister that almost results in her death. All the while an old menace lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to exact their revenge. The inhabitants of Peridot are drawn into war against invading goblins and salvation relies on men, elves and dragons setting aside their differences. But will they be able to unite to stop the imminent goblin tyranny? Inspired by the work of J. R. Tolkien, Forest of Fleeting Shadows will appeal to young adult readers aged 12 years and over. It will be enjoyed by fans of fantasy fiction, as well as those that enjoy love stories. The book also takes inspiration from William’s home town on the Sussex coast and will be enjoyed by readers based in and around the area.

Download or read book Aias written by Sophocles and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-05-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can properly recreate the celebrated Greek tragedies, the Greek Tragedy in New Translation series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. Under the general editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text, full stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the plays. Brought boldly to life by Herbert Golder and Richard Pevear's translation and contextualized by Herbert Golder's eloquent introduction, this early Sophoclean tragedy tells the story of the Homeric hero better known as Ajax, who was second only to Achilles among the Greek warriors. In Greek tradition, Aias figures as the archaic warrior who dies in shame after his betrayal by the Greeks. Sophocles turns tradition inside out, portraying Aias' suicide not as a disgrace but as heroism. He endows Aias suicide with a meaning radically different from previous versions of the Aias myth--Aias is not the hero whom time has passed by, but rather the man who steps beyond time. Most previous versions and interpretations have equivocated over Sophocles' bold vision. This edition of Aias translates precisely that transformation of the hero from the bygone figure to the man who transcends time.
Book Synopsis Grasping Shadows by : William Chapman Sharpe
Download or read book Grasping Shadows written by William Chapman Sharpe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's in a shadow? Menace, seduction, or salvation? Immaterial but profound, shadows lurk everywhere in literature and the visual arts, signifying everything from the treachery of appearances to the unfathomable power of God. From Plato to Picasso, from Rembrandt to Welles and Warhol, from Lord of the Rings to the latest video game, shadows act as central players in the drama of Western culture. Yet because they work silently, artistic shadows often slip unnoticed past audiences and critics. Conceived as an accessible introduction to this elusive phenomenon, Grasping Shadows is the first book that offers a general theory of how all shadows function in texts and visual media. Arguing that shadow images take shape within a common cultural field where visual and verbal meanings overlap, William Sharpe ranges widely among classic and modern works, revealing the key motifs that link apparently disparate works such as those by Fra Angelico and James Joyce, Clementina Hawarden and Kara Walker, Charles Dickens and Kumi Yamashita. Showing how real-world shadows have shaped the meanings of shadow imagery, Grasping Shadows guides the reader through the techniques used by writers and artists to represent shadows from the Renaissance onward. The last chapter traces how shadows impact the art of the modern city, from Renoir and Zola to film noir and projection systems that capture the shadows of passers-by on streets around the globe. Extending his analysis to contemporary street art, popular songs, billboards, and shadow-theatre, Sharpe demonstrates a practical way to grasp the "dark side" that looms all around us.

Download or read book The Job from Hell written by Marie Hebert and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American workplace often provides no evidence of either a good God or any good in Man. The daily grind of our jobs and the caustic people we encounter there can be so disconnected from our Christian fellowship experience in church and so far removed from our Christian principles that we can easily grow cynical. The mounting evidence that God is disconnected and far removed from the reality of our workplace can cause all of us at times to question if it is possible to earn a living and do it as a Christian. Is this really how God intends for us to live? The Job from Hell addresses this real-life struggle of working-class Christians. For those who work in abusive environments where they are isolated from Christian fellowship and support, Marie Hebert shares her personal experiences of God's consolation, explanation, and revelation that supported her in her own daily journey in the workplace. In The Job from Hell, she offers a spiritual explanation as to why you may be locked in your current job as well as offering a daily, steady structure of support on which you can lean for the time that you are employed there.

Download or read book Frank's Shadow written by Doug McIntyre and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We leave shadows, not footprints. Newlywed Danny McKenna’s honeymoon ends abruptly when he learns his father has died, uncannily, on the same day as his hero, Frank Sinatra. Returning home to his knotty Irish American family, Danny is confronted with a painful truth—while he knows everything about the famous singer, his own father is a mystery. Tasked with giving a eulogy for a man he hardly knows, Danny sets out to uncover his dad’s past—an immigrant’s tale of mid-twentieth-century America and the harsh realities of WWII lived in stark contrast to Frank Sinatra’s famously extravagant life. Along the way, Danny’s own demons nearly destroy him as he struggles to accept his father’s deepest secret—a journey that takes him into the heart of darkness before he learns to live in the light. Fame, family, and forgiveness are among the many themes in Doug McIntyre’s debut novel, a story full of vibrant scenery, gripping characters, humor, and profound moments of self-realization. Frank’s Shadow is a deeply (sometimes darkly) human story wrapped in the trappings of a delightfully gritty love letter to New York City’s less glamorous neighborhoods.
