Book excerpt: Placed on a medical leave of absence from her job as a special agent in the National Protection and Investigation Unit, Mikala Flynn is a woman on the edge—guilt-ridden, depressed, battling war wounds and personal demons. The world and the relationships as she knew them no longer exist. Now, the streets of New York, the bottle, and anonymous sex have become her solace. In the midst of a fire escape bender, Flynn overhears her crazy-like-a-fox grandmother and her art-world cronies planning a daring theft of a valuable historical document. Eventually Flynn crashes the party and agrees to take on the heist herself. Along the way, Flynn runs into, both literally and figuratively, her now wheelchair-bound best friend, an alluring, mysterious thief who throws multiple wrenches into the works, and the ex-love of her life. Can Flynn pull off the job without falling victim to vodka and lost love…and somehow begin to find herself again along the way?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quest for Redemption: Central European Jewish Thought in Joseph Roth's Works by Rares Piloiu fills an important gap in Roth scholarship, placing Roth's major works of fiction for the first time in the context of a generational interest in religious redemption among the Jewish intellectuals of Central Europe. In it, Piloiu argues that Roth's challenging, often contradictory and ambivalent literary output is the result of an attempt to recast moral, political, and historical realities of an empirically observable world in a new, religiously transfigured reality through the medium of literature. This diegetic recasting of phenomenological encounters with the real is an expression of Roth's belief that, since the self and the world are in a continuing state of crisis, issuing from their separation in modernity, a restoration of their unity is necessary to redeem the historical existence of individuals and communities alike. Piloiu notes, however, that Roth's enterprise in this is not unique to his work, but rather is shared by an entire generation of Central European Jewish intellectuals. This generation, disillusioned by modernity's excessive secularism, rationalism, and nationalism, sought a radical solution in the revival of mystical religious traditions-above all, in the Judaic idea of messianic redemption. Their use of the Chasidic notion of redemption was highly original in that it stripped the notion of its original theological meaning and applied it to the secular experience of reality. As a result, Roth's quest for redemption is a quest for a salvation of the individual not outside, but within, history.

Book Description: After running into trouble in college, to finding himself in a cold prison cell, Keir fell to life's lowest bottom. He faced a choice in that empty prison cell: he chose to never give up. From that lonely moment on, Keir embraced his harrowing imprisonment and seized this unique opportunity to recover, heal and grow. He began reading, teaching, public speaking, and with his typewriter, he began to write. Keir wrote as a way to work through his emotions, as a way to capture the experience and culture of prison, and in an attempt to fuel the glimmer of hope and inspiration that hides itself well in a world devoid of any light. This is a gripping collection of true stories from prison. These stories explore the human condition in its rawest state, document the grueling journey of one man's recovery as he embarks on an uncharted road toward redemption, and strive to create reflection and inspiration in those who read them.

Book excerpt: Set in Monrovia during the administration of Liberia's former president, Charles Taylor, this riveting debut is a story of recovery, atonement, and the continuing quest for peace and justice in a nation plagued by conflict and inequalities since its founding by freed American slaves. Life in post-war Liberia is not easy, and it is especially challenging for Bendu Lewis, a young woman who counsels traumatized survivors of Liberia's civil war while struggling with memories of her own war-time experiences. When the warlord who once held her in captivity suddenly shows up in town, she decides that for her own healing, and for the voiceless victims of the war, she must bring him to justice for his past atrocities. In her pursuit of Commander Cobra, Bendu finds much more than she bargained for, including the courage to finally confront and make amends for her own painful war-time secret.

Book excerpt: Never before had Daniel Bergner seen a spectacle as bizarre as the one he had come to watch that Sunday in October. Murderers, rapists, and armed robbers were competing in the annual rodeo at Angola, the grim maximum-security penitentiary in Louisiana. The convicts, sentenced to life without parole, were thrown, trampled, and gored by bucking bulls and broncos before thousands of cheering spectators. But amid the brutality of this gladiatorial spectacle Bergner caught surprising glimpses of exaltation, hints of triumphant skill. The incongruity of seeing hope where one would expect only hopelessness, self-control in men who were there because they'd had none, sparked an urgent quest in him. Having gained unlimited and unmonitored access, Bergner spent an unflinching year inside the harsh world of Angola. He forged relationships with seven prisoners who left an indelible impression on him. There's Johnny Brooks, seemingly a latter-day Stepin Fetchit, who, while washing the warden's car, longs to be a cowboy and to marry a woman he meets on the rodeo grounds. Then there's Danny Fabre, locked up for viciously beating a woman to death, now struggling to bring his reading skills up to a sixth-grade level. And Terry Hawkins, haunted nightly by the ghost of his victim, a ghost he tries in vain to exorcise in a prison church that echoes with the cries of convicts talking in tongues. Looming front and center is Warden Burl Cain, the larger-than-life ruler of Angola who quotes both Jesus and Attila the Hun, declares himself a prophet, and declaims that redemption is possible for even the most depraved criminal. Cain welcomes Bergner in, and so begins a journey that takes the author deep into a forgotten world and forces him to question his most closely held beliefs. The climax of his story is as unexpected as it is wrenching. Rendered in luminous prose, God of the Rodeo is an exploration of the human spirit, yielding in the process a searing portrait of a place that will be impossible to forget and a group of men, guilty of unimaginable crimes, desperately seeking a moment of grace.

Book excerpt: "Often denounced as nihilistic and even degenerate, film noir seems an unlikely antidote to the despair of contemporary popular culture. But at the heart of these dark films is a spiritual quest that is profoundly hopeful. In a fascinating re-evaluation of "American noir," Thomas Hibbs argues that these powerful tales of sin and redemption embody religious themes that are essential for cultural renewal." "Starting with early noir classics such as Double Indemnity and The Maltese Falcon, Hibbs reveals their surprising connection with contemporary quest films such as The Passion, The Sixth Sense, and Spider-Man. Despite its roots in the heyday of Hollywood Marxism, noir even displays a distinctly conservative bent - redemption is personal, not political, and scientific rationalism fails to deliver on its sunny promises." "Arts of Darkness explores not only the shadowy works of the 1940s and 1950s but also recent films in which the dark themes of noir converge with the quest for redemption. Hibbs dubs these diverse but related works "American noir," a term that encompasses Chinatown and Taxi Driver, The Matrix and The Terminator, American Beauty and Thelma and Louise. Hibbs insists that these tragic and gritty films stand among the most powerful religious narratives of our time."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Art of the Machiavellianist" is an enthralling novel that centres on Joseph, a character deeply influenced by the political philosophies of Niccolò Machiavelli, particularly as outlined in "The Prince." The story begins with Joseph's early exposure to Machiavellian concepts and follows his ascent as he skilfully applies these principles in various spheres of his life. Joseph, portrayed as a complex figure with a keen understanding of human nature, navigates through challenging scenarios in politics, business, and personal relationships. His journey highlights the practical application of Machiavellian tactics, ranging from subtle manipulations to overt power plays. The novel meticulously details his strategies for gaining influence, controlling outcomes, and safeguarding his interests. As the plot progresses, the narrative delves into the psychological aspects of Machiavellianism, examining how traits like manipulation, moral flexibility, and a focus on self-interest play out in Joseph's interactions and decisions. The story provides a rich exploration of the psychological underpinnings of this trait and its manifestation in different environments. A critical aspect of the novel is its exploration of the ethical implications of Machiavellian practices. It engages the reader in a philosophical debate over the morality of Joseph's actions, questioning whether the ends justify the means and the potential moral cost of such tactics on an individual and societal level. Through various subplots and interactions with other characters, the novel presents real-world parallels, drawing comparisons to historical and contemporary figures known for their Machiavellian tactics. These examples serve to ground Joseph's story in a broader context, offering insights into the pervasive influence of Machiavellianism in modern society. In conclusion, "The Art of the Machiavellianist" offers a comprehensive, thought-provoking examination of Machiavellianism through the lens of a captivating fictional narrative. It appeals to readers interested in psychology, philosophy, politics, and the intricate dynamics of power and influence.
