Book Synopsis The Legacy of the Goddess by : Rachel S. McCoppin
Download or read book The Legacy of the Goddess written by Rachel S. McCoppin and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often assumed that the female characters found in popular folk and fairy tales are little more than inconsequential stereotypes--mostly serving as hapless victims in need of rescue, boring one-dimensional princesses, or egotistical and conniving villains. This book presents more fully-realized portraits of these female characters and the ways in which they actually represent bold and powerful connections to the goddesses of classic mythic narratives. The rich legacy of female goddesses, shamans, queens, and priestesses is in fact preserved and celebrated through these more modern representations, whether as brides who can transform into animals, wise old women who live alone in the deep wilderness, strong warrior maidens, or witches who can conquer and command the elements of nature. In contemplating this revised analysis of female characters within global folktales and fairy tales, readers can see that the goddesses of old have never truly been forgotten.

Modern tales influenced by much older stories and spiced with science, legend and sensuality, these novels will appeal to anyone who loves a good fantasy adventure or is interested in Australian folklore! The Witch Doctor's Opal: Tristram Jones is given an opal by his dying grandfather. Little does he know its connection to an old aboriginal witch doctor with bright orange eyes. He is Dinewan - meaning Emu - taken from the Great Spirit of the Dreamtime. Stretching across generations, the stories swirling around Tristram and the opal are connected to the fabled monster of the billabong: the Bunyip. Scottish highlanders, bushrangers, and an old Chinese goldminer each play their part in a family legend that seems doomed to end in blood. But is Dinewan just a wicked and bitter misfit, or something far more marvelous, and dangerous? A Web Of Stories: Life spins stories around us as we slide through time, anchored by our secrets. Tristram Jones's opal is of deep significance to his teacher, Ivan MacAllister: a compelling and charismatic mentor haunted by a trauma caused by the witch doctor, Dinewan. Tristram is haunted too, by dreams of a terrifying monster that feel more like memories. As a web of stories surrounds Tristram and Ivan, the truth of them must come out as life goes on with adventure, romance and danger. The witch doctor is coming, and he will have his due. The Hunt For The Bunyip: “Magic is a fact of life, like murder, sex and monsters.” So says Dinewan, the old aboriginal witch doctor with bright orange eyes. In the final installment of the Bunyip series, what began from family legend will culminate in a zoological hunt of the millennium. Tristram Jones and his teacher, Ivan MacAllister, must again contend with Dinewan; his tactics are more dangerous and determined, and the stakes have never been higher. From the university to the wild high country, Tristram once again follows the call of the mysterious Bunyip. It will be the last time he does. This novel collection is intended for a mature readership and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

Download or read book Bunyip written by Sid Stephenson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUNYIP: A mythical creature from Australia’s ancient history. It is believed by some that the blood and flesh from the BUNYIP can miraculously speed the healing process. On a remote cattle station in the Simpson Desert a cattleman kills an unidentified creature that is slaughtering his cattle. Within hours the story that a BUNYIP has been shot goes viral world-wide. For political reasons the story is given credibility by the Australian Government to divert attention from a potentially world-shattering news announcement. Powerful political lobbies and criminal forces relentlessly pursue the truth behind the BUNYIP legend. Challenging the issue of state-sponsored assassination, some possessions may be too big to be owned by a single person. BUNYIP questions whether myth can ever be suppressed or destroyed, when sometimes reality can be tenuous and fragile. BUNYIP is written in ‘SCROVEL,’ and amalgamation of a screenplay and a novel. All introspective text is removed, and the story is told in what can be seen and heard. The reader experiences the story as a virtual movie.

Book Synopsis The Legacy of Thomas Paine in the Transatlantic World by : Sam Edwards
Download or read book The Legacy of Thomas Paine in the Transatlantic World written by Sam Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as 1892, Moncure Conway, the author of the first scholarly Paine biography, noted that whilst Paine’s life up to 1809 was certainly fascinating, his subsequent life – that is, his afterlife – was even more thrilling. Vilified by Theodore Roosevelt as a "filthy little atheist," yet employed by Ronald Reagan in his campaign to make America "great again," Paine’s words and ideas have been both celebrated and dismissed by generations of politicians and presidents. An Englishman by birth, an American by adoption, and a Frenchman by decree, Paine has been invoked and appropriated by groups and individuals across the transatlantic political spectrum. This was particularly apparent following the bicentennial of Paine’s death in 2009, an event that prompted new scholarship examining troublesome Tom’s ideas and ideals, whilst in Thetford, Lewes and New Rochelle – his three transatlantic "homes" – he was feted and commemorated. Yet despite all this interest, the precise forms and function of Paine’s post-mortem presence have still not received the attention they deserve. With essays authored by experts on both sides of the Atlantic (and beyond), this book examines the transatlantic afterlife of Thomas Paine, offering new insights into the ways in which he has been used and abused, remembered and represented, in the two hundred years since his death.
