Now, embittered by a broken heart, Letha treks towards the water once more, hoping to reunite with her family before succumbing to the curse and turning into seafoam on the shore.

Download or read book Siren Song written by Seymour Stein and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of America’s greatest record man: the founder of Sire Records and spotter of rock talent from the Ramones to Madonna. Seymour Stein was America's greatest record man. Not only did he sign and nurture more important artists than anyone alive, after over sixty years in the game, he was still the hippest label head, travelling the globe in search of the next big thing. Since the late fifties, he had been wherever was happening: Billboard, Tin Pan Alley, The British Invasion, CBGB, Studio 54, Danceteria, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, the CD crash. Along that winding path, he discovered and broke out a skyline full of stars: Madonna, The Ramones, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Madonna, The Smiths, The Cure, Ice-T, Lou Reed, Seal, and many others. Brimming with hilarious scenes and character portraits, Siren Song’s wider narrative is about modernity in motion, and the slow acceptance of diversity in America – thanks largely to daring pop music. Including both the high and low points in his life, Siren Song touches on everything from his discovery of Madonna to his wife Linda Stein's violent death. Ask anyone in the music business, Seymour Stein was a legend. Sung from the heart, Siren Song will etch his story in stone.

Download or read book Siren Song written by Leah Alvord and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty. Grace. Song. The three core traits that make up the Sirens. Traits that create chaos and tragedy wherever they go, with every move that they make. To lose the effect, they are forced to give up its cause: their song. A pact was forged centuries ago in an agreement to stop singing. A pact that continues to be broken. Crevan is the name the three Sirens take when they move to Florence, Oregon as they once more try to escape what they are. Ariana is the eldest and most beautiful Siren sister. Her entire purpose in life is to care for her sisters. A purpose that continuously washes away who she really is. Shae is the middle Siren and flaunts her differences in any way possible with little to no restraint. It is she that possesses the most grace and charm of the three. Both of which she uses to have a good time as often as possible. Kalina is the youngest sister with a tendency to screw up. Of the three traits cursed upon the Sirens, hers is the most potent and the most dangerous, for she has the greatest song. A song that pulses through her very blood and tests her control with each and every breath. Florence was another stop in their world. Another place to call home for no longer than eight years - if they were lucky. It was never meant to be more than a place to recover from the last fall. But Florence has more in store for the Sirens than they could have possibly foreseen. Once more, Kalina finds herself flirting with disaster when she befriends William James. A human male intent on gaining some form of satisfaction from the enigmatic creature he has found. Inevitably, Kalina finds herself falling for William, and her entire nature changes because of it. But her love is a betrayal in itself. Furious, her sisters are determined to do whatever they must in order to protect themselves. Now Kalina must fight the entire world in order to keep the one man who has become absolutely vital to her own survival.

Book excerpt: The Byzantine Empire is a time and place of enlightenment and diversity, but also zealous piety. Young Adila hungers for this wealth of culture, but as a girl, she’s barred from partaking in the richness of society. Her abusive father’s solution is to force her to be his longed-for son, Adilsen. He moves their family from Finland to an abbey village in Russia. Outwardly, Adilsen goes along with her father’s disguise. It allows her to enter the all-male religious order, where she discovers her love of music, knowledge and God. But Adila lives with the constant threat of her secret being exposed. Adila flourishes in the choir, and the Bishop of Constantinople selects her to travel to the capitol. But he doesn’t choose her for her singing The Bishop wants Adilsen as a pawn in his treasonous scheme, entangling her in political corruption at the highest levels of the empire. At the Byzantine monastery in Constantinople, Adilsen must deceive everyone to conceal her true gender. But then she falls in love with Majidi, a visiting dignitary from the far south of the realm. When she shocks the Bishop with a dramatic miscarriage, he banishes her to Majidi’s harem in Trebizond. Enslaved in the citadel, she must now fight the harem hierarchy to escape rape, abuse and death. As a boy, Adila’s resourcefulness and strength were lauded, but as a concubine, she is a dangerous threat to tradition. SIRENS’ SONG is an epic historical fiction adventure of Adila growing into a forceful, intelligent, independent woman in a time when these qualities in a female could get her killed. Through music, spirituality and the challenges of loving a man of a different race and religion, Adila learns from those on the fringes of society how to battle through layers of convention, and claim power in her femininity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. By the 1960s, Hindi-language films from Bombay were in high demand not only for domestic and diasporic audiences but also for sizable non-diasporic audiences across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean world. Often confounding critics who painted the song-dance films as noisy and nonsensical. if not dangerously seductive and utterly vulgar, Bombay films attracted fervent worldwide viewers precisely for their elements of romance, music, and spectacle. In this richly documented history of Hindi cinema during the long 1960s, Samhita Sunya historicizes the emergence of world cinema as a category of cinematic diplomacy that formed in the crucible of the Cold War. Interwoven with this history is an account of the prolific transnational circuits of popular Hindi films alongside the efflorescence of European art cinema and Cold War–era forays of Hollywood abroad. By following archival leads and threads of argumentation within commercial Hindi films that seem to be odd cases—flops, remakes, low-budget comedies, and prestige productions—this book offers a novel map for excavating the historical and ethical stakes of world cinema and world-making via Bombay.
