Download or read book The Nothing Mage written by J. P. Valentine and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware, oh friend, the Nothing Mage, The man himself a blight, With magic cursed and spells unseen, That none can stand and fight. Beware, oh King, the Nothing Mage, A force that pierces all, The tolling bell that sings of death, 'Till lords and empires fall. Beware, oh love, the Nothing Mage, A vengeful man is he, So if you dare to draw his wrath, Then nothing ye shall be. "There's nothing there." The words may as well have been a death sentence to young Declan. Without mana, there could be no studying at the sky-piercing Pinnacle Towers, there could be no great monster hunts, and there could be no following in his father's legendary footsteps. He'd be a cripple. But when a terrible accident forces him to flee, Declan learns the true nature of his mana. Just because it doesn't resonate at any known frequency, doesn't mean it isn't magic. Just because he can't cast the same spells as everyone else doesn't mean he isn't a mage. And just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there.
Download or read book Animal Fables after Darwin written by Chris Danta and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient form of the animal fable, in which the characteristics of humans and animals are playfully and educationally intertwined, took on a wholly new meaning after Darwin's theory of evolution changed forever the relationship between humans and animals. In this original study, Chris Danta provides an important and original account of how the fable was adopted and re-adapted by nineteenth- and twentieth-century authors to challenge traditional views of species hierarchy. The rise of the biological sciences in the second half of the nineteenth century provided literary writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells, Franz Kafka, Angela Carter and J. M. Coetzee with new material for the fable. By interrogating the form of the fable, and through it the idea of human exceptionalism, writers asked new questions about the place of the human in relation to its biological milieu.

Download or read book The Steps We Take written by Ellen Ann Fentress and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellen Ann Fentress is a veteran writer for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Atlantic. She’s also a seasoned southern woman, specifically a white Mississippi one. “Women do a lot for free, no matter the era, no matter the location,” she observes in The Steps We Take: A Memoir of Southern Reckoning. As a good southern woman, Fentress felt a calling to help others. As a teenager, she volunteered as a March of Dimes quarter collector and sang hymns at a soup-and-salvation homeless shelter. Later, she married, reared two daughters, renovated a 1941 Colonial home, practiced her French, and served as the bookkeeper for her husband’s business. She followed the scripts she was handed by society. But there were the convenient lies and silences that she and most southern—make that American—white women have settled on in the name of convention and, to be honest, inertia. For Fentress, her dodges both behind her front door and beyond became impossible to miss. Eventually, along with claiming a personal second act at midlife, she realized the most urgent community work she could do was to spur truth-telling about the history she knew well and participated in. She was one of the nearly one million students in the South enrolled in all-white “segregation academies,” a sweeping movement away from public education that continues to warp the Deep South today. To document and engage with this history, she founded the Admissions Project: Racism and the Possible in Southern Schools, which has been featured in the Washington Post, Slate, Forbes and other publications. The Steps We Take tells how one woman reckons with both a region’s history and her own past. Through a lens ranging from intimate to the widely human, through moments painful and darkly comic, Fentress casts a penetrating light on what it means to be a white southern woman today.
Download or read book Fables and Aphorisms written by Hryhoriĭ Savych Skovoroda and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1990 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregory S. Skovoroda was searching and propagating his ideas about the Kingdom of God, the Celestial Jerusalem, where «there is no distinction between old and young, between sexes, and everything is in common in that republic.» In his Fables he taught that the root of evil in society lies in the misapplication of innate talents. People pay too much attention to consumption-satisfaction andignore production-satisfaction, «which is a vital need and ultimate enjoyment.» Man should find his in-born ability by self-examination and through the curricula of general education. The teachings of this 18th century man were greatly appreciated by such great writers as Tolstoy, Gorky, Shevchenko, I. Franko, V. Lenin and the Soviet government recognized Skovoroda among such «great revolutionary leaders» as Spartacus, Fourier, Lomonosov, Radishchev, Pushkin, Chernyshevsky, Shevchenko and others.
