Download or read book The Journals written by John Fowles and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-12 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Fowles gained international recognition in 1963 with his first published novel, The Collector, but his labor on what may be his greatest literary undertaking, his journals, commenced over a decade earlier. Fowles, whose works include The Maggot, The French Lieutenant's Woman, and The Ebony Tower, is among the most inventive and influential English novelists of the twentieth century. The first volume begins in 1949 with Fowles' final year at Oxford. It reveals his intellectual maturation, chronicling his experiences as a university lecturer in France and as a schoolteacher on the Greek island of Spetsai. Simultaneously candid and eloquent, Fowles' journals also expose the deep connection between his personal and scholarly lives as Fowles struggled to win literary acclaim. From his affair with Elizabeth, the married woman who would become his first wife, to his passion for film, ornithology, travel, and book collecting, the journals present a portrait of a man eager to experience life. The second and final volume opens in 1966, as Fowles, already an international success, navigates his newfound fame and wealth. With absolute honesty, his journals map his inner turmoil over his growing celebrity and his hesitance to take on the role of a public figure. Fowles recounts his move from London to a secluded house on England's Dorset coast, where discontented with society's voracious materialism he led an increasingly isolated life. Great works in their own right, Fowles' journals elucidate the private thoughts that gave rise to some of the greatest writing of our time.

Download or read book The Sword of Heaven written by Mikkel Aaland and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2010-07-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Any attempt at peace must be attended by a knowledge of self,” discovers writer and photographer Mikkel Aaland, who grew up with a bomb shelter for a bedroom, in terror of nuclear war. At the height of the Cold War, Aaland finds himself drawn into a mysterious Shinto priest’s plan to save the world. Traveling from Norway to the Philippines, Iceland to South Africa, he places pieces of a sacred Shinto sword in key power spots around the world. Along the way, he comes face to face with his deepest childhood fears of war and destruction, encounters the compelling and mysterious Shinto religion, struggles with the uncertainties of love, and learns to face life with an open heart. The Sword of Heaven tells the extraordinary true story of a journey in which all boundaries are pushed—geographical, cultural, and personal—and in which the healing of the world and the healing of one man appear to be inextricably linked.
Book Synopsis The Sword and the Scales by : Cesare P. R. Romano
Download or read book The Sword and the Scales written by Cesare P. R. Romano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-07 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sword and the Scales is the first in-depth and comprehensive study of attitudes and behaviors of the United States toward major international courts and tribunals, including the International Courts of Justice, WTO, and NAFTA dispute settlement systems; the Inter-American Court of Human Rights; and all international criminal courts. Thirteen essays by American legal scholars map and analyze current and past patterns of promotion or opposition, use or neglect, of international judicial bodies by various branches of the United States government, suggesting a complex and deeply ambivalent relationship. The United States has been, and continues to be, not only a promoter of the various international courts and tribunals but also an active participant of the judicial system. It appears before some of the international judicial bodies frequently and supports more, both politically and financially. At the same time, it is less engaged than it could be, particularly given its strong rule of law foundations and its historical tradition of commitment to international law and its institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises stands as perhaps the most impressive first novel ever written by an American writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new omnibus collecting the first three volumes of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series! It is 12,090 A.D., thousands of years since the human race nearly destroyed itself in a nuclear war--a folly foreseen by those who waited to emerge out of the underground...not from shelters, but from crypts! The aristocratic vampire lords known as the Nobles inherited our world, and with dark science and immortal patience made real the things that mortals had merely dreamed, whether voyaging to the distant stars, or conjuring monsters to roam the Earth. Yet the grand civilization of the Nobles has grown decadent, and as the terrorized remnants of humanity at last found the strength to rebel, their undying lords have been pushed back to the Frontier--the violent borderlands where humans still remain the prey of vampires, who for all their knowledge and power have never lost their obsession with our living flesh, blood...and souls! In this bizarre and deadly far future the most dangerous thing of all is not a vampire, but the one who hunts them--the one who is half them--a dhampir, the unearthly beautiful wanderer known as D. The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus collects the first three novels in author Hideyuki Kikuchi's adventure horror series: Vampire Hunter D, Raiser of Gales, and Demon Deathchase. Illustrated by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, this book is only the beginning of a legend!

Book Synopsis The Sun Also Rises by : Ernest Hemingway
Download or read book The Sun Also Rises written by Ernest Hemingway and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hemingway’s brilliant first novel is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the power to endure. In his unforgettable first novel, Hemingway artfully illuminates the plight of the Lost Generation, weaving a poignant tale of love and loss in the aftermath of World War I. The story follows two expatriates living in Paris in the 1920s: Jake Barnes, an American war veteran and journalist, and Lady Brett Ashley, an independent Englishwoman exploring the opportunities afforded by a new era of liberated women and sexual freedom. Impotent due to an injury suffered during the war, Jake must navigate his hopeless love for Brett in a changed world of waning morality. From Parisian society’s vibrant nightlife to the ruthless bullfighting rings of Spain, The Sun Also Rises takes readers on a powerful journey through mass disillusionment, moral bankruptcy, and elusive could-have-beens. All the while, we see both the brokenness and resilience of a generation scarred physically and emotionally by the horrors of war.

Book excerpt: In the far-off realm of Gardoool lay the countries of Qire-Mersnal, Leyrsai, Derth and Gorneeth. Qire-Mersnal; the land of archers and grassy hills. Leyrsai: the land of priests and magic. Derth: the land of metallic craftsmanship and horses. Gorneeth: the wasteland of Raiders and war. A not very skilled Warrior of Capes, named Nedum, is banished from the city of Gliimie for telling tales of the rouge Captain Jarn the Second. He is banished to the Outcast headquarters in Gorneeth, where the legendary Captain Jarn is supreme. Jarn doesn’t believe that Nedum has the necessary potential to be an Outcast. But Jarn’s right hand man, Romat has faith in him and takes him under his wing. As soon as Romat has trained him a little, there are many trials he must surpass. To begin with, he is involved in an attempt to stop the most powerful Wizard in Gardoool from obtaining a very evil relic. Later he is involved in a siege against the powerful Gorneethan Prince Vaz. During the battle, Nedum faces one of the Twins of Terror and barely escapes with his life. Meanwhile, Romat is making his way back from the gladiator arena when he falls in love with a damsel in distress. He must protect her from a humiliated gladiator and his Sorcerer brother. During his travels, Romat meets Aush, a man that many men believe to be The One to Come, sent by The Great Ones. Romat marries the woman and runs to save Jarn from a retaliating Prince Vaz. In the dark shadows of Gorneeth there is a sinister man planning the downfall of the Warriors of Capes, Jarn’s old mentor...Sehym.
