Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you were younger, did you ever wonder what it would be like to be a real superhero like the ones on television? If your answer is yes, then I'm guessing you probably did things like: 1) memorized and quoted different superhero dialogues, puns, and catch phrases- (for ex. if a hero was about to tie a villain up, before doing it they would say, “Alright let's wrap this up.”); 2) made a homemade mask and used a bath towel or blanket with a certain clothing as your superhero costume; and 3) made up your own superhero adventure. Anyway, in this first book, “Heroes of Dreams,” you'll learn about an eight year old, third grader, Samuel Lee Princeton, who's always dreamed of one day becoming a superhero. However, with some help from his father, Leonardo Princeton, his dream might come true. Find out for yourself, as “A Heroic Dream Begins.”

Book excerpt: I'm Carter. I'm a warrior. A shadow fighter. And she's like a blinding light in this dark world. The outside world knows me as a shallow billionaire. Jet-setting around the world. But that's a cover. My team and I work in the shadows, because that's where our enemies operate. Our enemy is strong and ruthless. Defeating them is our mission. Not lusting after a woman, even though she's sexy and funny and intriguing. I refuse to think she's part of this world. But then why is she there? The sexy guy who kissed me and carried me up the stairs suddenly pops up everywhere. Why? Why is he suddenly involved in every aspect of my life, involved with the people in my life. Why is he always there to protect me? I hate being weak. I am not weak. I don't need protection or a knight in shining armor. So why does it feel good to be protected? Why do I feel like it's okay to be weak in his arms? And why do I feel like I need and want him in my life?

Download or read book A Hero Of Our Time written by Mikhail Lermontov and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major Russian novel, A Hero of Our Time was both lauded and reviled upon publication. Its dissipated hero, twenty-five-year-old Pechorin, is a beautiful and magnetic but nihilistic young army officer, bored by life and indifferent to his many sexual conquests. Chronicling his unforgettable adventures in the Caucasus involving brigands, smugglers, soldiers, rivals, and lovers, this classic tale of alienation influenced Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov in Lermontov’s own century, and finds its modern-day counterparts in Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, the novels of Chuck Palahniuk, and the films and plays of Neil LaBute.

Download or read book The Hero in Contemporary American Fiction written by S. Halldorson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-12-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to write nothing short of a new theory of the heroic for today's world. It delves into the "why" of the hero as a natural companion piece to the "how" of the hero as written by Northrop Frye and Joseph Campbell over half a century ago. The novels of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo serve as an anchor to the theory as it challenges our notions of what is heroic about nymphomaniacs, Holocaust survivors, spurious academics, cult followers, terrorists, celebrities, photographers and writers of novels who all attempt to claim the right to be "hero."

Download or read book A Hero of France written by Alan Furst and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling master espionage writer, hailed by Vince Flynn as “the best in the business,” comes a riveting novel about the French Resistance in Nazi-occupied Paris. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST 1941. The City of Light is dark and silent at night. But in Paris and in the farmhouses, barns, and churches of the French countryside, small groups of ordinary men and women are determined to take down the occupying forces of Adolf Hitler. Mathieu, a leader of the French Resistance, leads one such cell, helping downed British airmen escape back to England. Alan Furst’s suspenseful, fast-paced thriller captures this dangerous time as no one ever has before. He brings Paris and occupied France to life, along with courageous citizens who outmaneuver collaborators, informers, blackmailers, and spies, risking everything to fulfill perilous clandestine missions. Aiding Mathieu as part of his covert network are Lisette, a seventeen-year-old student and courier; Max de Lyon, an arms dealer turned nightclub owner; Chantal, a woman of class and confidence; Daniel, a Jewish teacher fueled by revenge; Joëlle, who falls in love with Mathieu; and Annemarie, a willful aristocrat with deep roots in France, and a desire to act. As the German military police heighten surveillance, Mathieu and his team face a new threat, dispatched by the Reich to destroy them all. Shot through with the author’s trademark fine writing, breathtaking suspense, and intense scenes of seduction and passion, Alan Furst’s A Hero of France is at once one of the finest novels written about the French Resistance and the most gripping novel yet by the living master of the spy thriller.

Download or read book Marketing Dreams Manufacturing Heroes written by Anna Romina Guevarra and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a globalized economy that is heavily sustained by the labor of immigrants, why are certain nations defined as "ideal" labor resources and why do certain groups dominate a particular labor force? The Philippines has emerged as a lucrative source of labor for countries around the world. In Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes Anna Romina Guevarra focuses on the Philippines—which views itself as the "home of the great Filipino worker"—and the multilevel brokering process that manages and sends workers worldwide. She unravels the transnational production of Filipinos as ideal migrant workers by the state and explores how race, color, class, and gender operate. The experience of Filipino nurses and domestic workers—two of the country's prized exports—is at the core of the research, which utilizes interviews with employees at labor brokering agencies, state officials from governmental organizations in the Philippines, and nurses working in the United States. Guevarra's multisited ethnography reveals the disciplinary power that state and employment agencies exercise over care workers—managing migration and garnering wages—to govern social conduct, and brings this isolated yet widespread social problem to life.

Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "A Hero of Romance (Unabridged)" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Excerpt:"It was about as miserable an afternoon as one could wish to see. May is the poet's month, but there was nothing of poetry about it then. True, it was early in the month, but February never boasted weather of more unmitigated misery. At half-past two it was so dark in the schoolroom of Mecklemburg House that one could with difficulty see to read. Outside a cold drizzling rain was falling, a shrieking east wind was rattling the windows in their frames, and a sullen haze was hiding the leaden sky. As unsatisfactory a specimen of the English spring as one could very well desire."
