Download or read book Lyra's Oxford written by Philip Pullman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a story and several other things. The other things might be connected with the story, or they might not; they might be connected to stories that haven’t appeared yet . . . Two years after the conclusion of The Amber Spyglass, Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon sit high on the roof of Jordan College, gazing down on the streets of Oxford. But their peace is shattered by a flock of enraged starlings, who seem intent on knocking another bird out of the sky – a bird that Lyra and Pan quickly realise is a witch’s daemon. The daemon carries worrying tidings of a terrible sickness spreading in the north, and claims that only Lyra can help him – but is he really friend, or foe? Illustrated throughout with exquisite wood-cut engravings by John Lawrence, this beautifully packaged story also contains an extract of Pullman’s second short story set in the His Dark Materials world, Once Upon a Time in the North, a map and other missives that seem to have slipped from Lyra’s world into our own.

Book Synopsis The Subversive Voice of Carmen Lyra by : Carmen Lyra
Download or read book The Subversive Voice of Carmen Lyra written by Carmen Lyra and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carmen Lyra's marvelous trickster tales wake the reader to a sharper understanding of 20th-century history. Lyra's stories and sketches--characterized by a sharp wit, wonderfully audacious candor and wry humor--help us reimagine the map of the Western Hemisphere."--Valerie Miner, University of Minnesota "Carmen Lyra is one of many Central American women writers who were significant players in literary, intellectual, and political circles during their lifetimes but who have been studied and remembered less than they deserve. Recent scholarship is beginning to change this, and Horan's work is a welcome contribution to this effort. Her witty renderings into colloquial English of Lyra's folk and fairy tales are an invitation to read them aloud."--Janet Gold, University of New Hampshire These Central American trickster tales and satirical and realistic stories by Carmen Lyra (the pseudonym of María Isabela Carvajal, 1888-1949) are the first translation into English of the writings of a leading revolutionary who was also an early 20th-century folklorist and children's writer. This volume presents her popular folktales, including her most famous work, Tales of My Aunt Panchita, alongside her influential social criticism. The familiar Central American folk character "Uncle Rabbit," derived from both African and Native American folklore, is featured in the tales, while her children's play, Christmas Fantasy, portrays another wily rabbit trying to pass as the Child Jesus. Lyra's realism is represented by her satire of high society in "Tales of the Cothnejo-Fishy District," and her "Silhouettes from the Maternal School" describes the founding of Latin America's first Montessori kindergarten. She denounces the exploitation of workers in "Bananas and Men," while "Golden Bean" reveals crooked dealings in the coffee business. Although Lyra's writings form the core of this book, the editor's essay offers important biographical information about an author and cultural milieu unfamiliar to many in the United States. Those readers interested in Latin American literature, women writers, and folktales will find this book interesting and informative. And the tales are simply wonderful reading! Elizabeth Rosa Horan is director of comparative studies in literature and associate professor of English at Arizona State University. She is the author of the award-winning Gabriela Mistral: An Artist and Her People and the translation editor (with Marjorie Agosin) of House of Memory: Short Stories by Latin American Jewish Women Writers.
Book Synopsis Nicholas of Lyra: The Senses of Scripture by : Philip D.W. Krey
Download or read book Nicholas of Lyra: The Senses of Scripture written by Philip D.W. Krey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first modern study of Nicholas of Lyra. A Franciscan teacher at the University of Paris, Nicholas (d. 1349) was an immensely important biblical commentator whose works influenced generations of scholars including Luther. Famed for his knowledge of Hebrew learning, as well as of the Latin Fathers, Nicholas was also highly conscious of interpretative method and of the Bible as literary artefact. In his massive Postillae, Nicholas commented on the entire Bible according to both literal and spiritual senses. This masterpiece is the basis for fifteen essays which cover major biblical books, examining them in a variety of ways, such as interpretative history, theology, and even political theory. They illuminate the remarkable range of Nicholas' thinking, his impressive scholarship, and his Franciscan evangelism. A major study of a key medieval writer. Contributors include: Philippe Buc, Mary Dove, Theresa Gross-Diaz, Deeana Copeland Klepper, Philip D.W. Krey, Frans van Liere, Kevin Madigan, Corrine Patton, Michael A. Signer, Lesley Smith, and Mark Zier.

Feels like this is a bit of a landmark piece that really paints the ABDL community in a far more realistic and positive way than mainstream media." - Starred Review. Robin Bailey was a very normal eighteen year old. Great student, geeky bookworm, funny guy and smart. His parents and younger sister always showered him with support and love. Truth was, he held a secret. He liked to wear diapers and desired to be a baby. He always felt very bad about that, even when he knew he wasn't the only one. The idea of being a baby was so strong, it was part of him. One he kept hidden. Carter Blake was Robin's best friend, a popular swimmer with godly looks but a golden heart. Loyal to the end, Carter knew the person he loved most was Robin, they were like brothers. However, towards Graduation, he can't keep pretending he doesn't notice Robin acting weird, down, as if he's keeping a secret. Little do either of them know that a little slip will throw them both, and their families, into a new way of life. DISCLAIMER: The story deals with ABDL, that is adults wearing and using diapers and acting like babies in a NON-SEXUAL form. There is no sexual activity or mentions.

Book excerpt: Death didn't scare Lilith Whitlock. At the ripe age of twenty, she preferred to take whatever life threw at her, and if death was a curveball, she'd catch it. What she didn't expect was for impending death to be stalled by being transformed into a vampire. With sharp, pointy teeth and a hunger for blood, Lilith adapted to her new life. Befriending three hot vampires with a mission to maintain balance had something to do with that, but the paranormal world wasn't perfect. Especially when she learned creating new vampires was illegal. Now, she had to prove herself as indispensable to the Order of the Void, or she'd be obliterated from existence. No one mentioned that being a new-blood came with a looming threat and imminent danger. Crimson Tears is book one of three in the Crimson Demon Trilogy. It is a paranormal why-choose romance centered around three vampires and one demon. It contains mature subject matter that might not be suitable for all readers.

Download or read book Truth and Other Lies written by Lyra Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is trickier than the truth. All Loki the trickster god of Asgard wants is a quiet, peaceful life where he's free to needle Balder, occasionally stir up the inter-realm porridge pot, and get Thor to dress in women's garments (for all the best reasons). Getting beset by sudden, painful, and terribly inconvenient visions of blood, ash, and death are definitely not on his to-do list. But, because of some small, ridiculous remnant of caring that refuses to be extinguished, Loki feels he must save Asgard...and that means warning Odin, his least favorite god (next to Thor). But getting the gods to believe the boy who cried Fenrir is harder than it looks, and time is running out, not just for Asgard, but also for a mortal woman named Sigyn who may just hold the key to Loki's future. Loki is about to find out the hard way that the only thing crueler than truth are the lies behind it all.
