Book excerpt: She used to be a simple assassin. Those were the days... Mal’s job used to be straightforward: find the people causing problems for Hades and give them a one-way ticket to his realm. But with Hades’s temple a pile of rubble and his other operatives dead, she has a new mission—prevent the entire world from finding out about the temple while single-handedly holding Hades’s territory against the rest of the gods. And in less than two days, a documentary crew will get access to the ruins of the temple, and broadcast the truth about the gods’ secret wars. Unless... Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, can alter a few memories and make the publicity problem go away. All she wants in return is one human dead—a human who happens to have the power to level entire buildings with a thought. Mal’s maybe-ally Bastian offers to provide backup—but nothing is ever free. He needs her help settling an old score against a certain goddess. A goddess named Mnemosyne...
Download or read book Mnemosyne written by Mario Praz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic study of the timeless relationship between literature and the visual arts In his search for a common link between literature and the visual arts, Mario Praz draws on the abundant evidence of mutual understanding and correspondence they have long shared. Praz explains that within literature, each epoch has “its peculiar handwriting or handwritings, which, if one could interpret them, would reveal a character, even a physical appearance,” and while these characteristics belong to the general style of a given period, the personality of the writer does not fail to pierce through. Praz contends that something similar occurs in art. He shows how the likeness between the arts within various periods of history can ultimately be traced to structural similarities that arise out of the characteristic way in which the people of a certain epoch see and memorize facts aesthetically. Mnemosyne, at once the goddess of memory and the mother of the muses, presides over this view of the arts. In illustrating her influence, Praz ranges widely through Western sources, providing an incomparable tour of the literary and pictorial arts.

Book Synopsis Keats and Romantic Celticism by : C. Gallant
Download or read book Keats and Romantic Celticism written by C. Gallant and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celtic Revival began more than a century before Yeats and the Irish Literary Renaissance. Keats and Romantic Celtism is the first book to consider the pervasive influence of period Celticism upon Keats's work, from the Druidism that underlies his unfinished epics to the Celtic-derived folklore that his poetry draws upon. Christine Gallant shows that more than two hundred and fifty traditional folklore motifs of the faerie fill his major poems, as well as minor epistolary ones that have been critically neglected.

The Introduction, by Jay Winter, sets the context, particularly with reference to the First World War, while the Conclusion summarises the significance of the research undertaken and its value for future research. This book will also have an impact on writers, publishers and organizers of exhibitions, museums, memorial sites and monuments whose influence in the field of war and memory has been increasing steadily in recent years.

Book excerpt: Meet Mal: Unemployed. Antisocial. A god’s living weapon. The old gods are fighting for control of the modern world. But to keep their wars secret from the mortals, they need the Marked: humans ripped from their ordinary lives, gifted with divine power, and trained to work from the shadows to ensure their gods’ victory… by any means necessary. Join reluctant assassin Mal Keyne on her first four adventures as she protects New York City from Hades’s rivals, struggles to reclaim her lost humanity, and rushes in where angels fear to tread. Death Trace: It’s been ten years since Mal died. Five years since the god Hades dragged her from the underworld and forged her, through blood and pain, into his living weapon. And in five minutes, the only other agent of Hades she trusts will die… Memory Game: With Hades’s temple in ruins, Mal has a new mission—keep humanity from discovering the truth behind the attack. And Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, is happy to help. All she wants in return is one human dead… a human who happens to have the power to level entire buildings with a thought. Ghost Town: A single moment of weakness stopped Mal from closing an underworld gate. Now the city is paying the price. Two spirits are haunting the streets of Manhattan, and one of them has a body count. Night Terrors: When a plague of waking nightmares sweeps through New York, Mal’s race to save Hades’s last scrap of territory will turn her against her oldest friends, unearth a secret the gods themselves have kept buried for thousands of years, and test the limits of an alliance she thought was unshakable.

Book Synopsis Where Dreams May Come (2 vol. set) by : Gil Renberg
Download or read book Where Dreams May Come (2 vol. set) written by Gil Renberg and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 1130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where Dreams May Come was the winner of the 2018 Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit, awarded by the Society for Classical Studies. In this book, Gil H. Renberg examines the ancient religious phenomenon of “incubation", the ritual of sleeping at a divinity’s sanctuary in order to obtain a prophetic or therapeutic dream. Most prominently associated with the Panhellenic healing god Asklepios, incubation was also practiced at the cult sites of numerous other divinities throughout the Greek world, but it is first known from ancient Near Eastern sources and was established in Pharaonic Egypt by the time of the Macedonian conquest; later, Christian worship came to include similar practices. Renberg’s exhaustive study represents the first attempt to collect and analyze the evidence for incubation from Sumerian to Byzantine and Merovingian times, thus making an important contribution to religious history. This set consists of two books.
