Download or read book Aimee and Pippa written by Henry Sparrowhawk and published by Fetish World Books. This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, Pippa and Clara were free. Today the pretty blonde twins are slaves, kneeling terrified, naked and ashamed at their masters' feet, together with their mother Annamarie and their friend Aimee. Their fate is to be transported beyond the borders of the Empire, beyond any hope of rescue, and sold in the slave markets of the rogue planet Akkadis, notorious for its slave brothels, breeding farms, harems, and its barbaric Arena. It is the year 2999. On the borders of Man's vast Empire, the Atkoi tribes, human but long since reverted to barbarism, are preparing for war. As a weak emperor tries in vain to appease them, an interstellar passenger liner is boarded, looted and plundered. The most beautiful young women aboard, including Pippa and Clara Warburton and Aimee Pembroke, are spared - if 'spared' is the correct word. They begin a nightmare voyage to Akkadis. There they are paraded and exposed for sale in a humiliating public slave auction. They are trained to obey and serve their new masters and then sold, either to primitive desert tribesman or the planet's infamous 'pleasure houses' where slave girls dance naked on the stage for the leering audience and entertain customers upstairs for the price of a few solidi... and those who fail to meet their 'sales targets' face painful, public and humiliating discipline on the dreaded weekly Entertainment Night for the amusement of the baying audience. No allowance is made for shy, modest girls, new to the collar. To survive, they will learn to submit, and obey, and to please their new masters. There is only one man who can save them. His name is Scamander: Archpriest Peter Scamander. Scamander is on Akkadis on the Emperor's business, but he has reasons of his own for ignoring the girls' plight. They soon realise they are the helpless pawns in a power game, victims of a betrayal of cosmic proportions. But Akkadis holds a dark secret which may offer the girls a glimmer of hope - a chance for freedom and revenge - if they dare to seize it. Sometimes the best weapons of the weak are the mistakes of those who think they are strong.

Download or read book Law and Dis Order in the Ancient Near East written by Katrien De Graef and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesopotamia is often considered to be the birthplace of law codes. In recognition of this fact and motivated by the perennial interest in the topic among Assyriologists, the 59th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale was organized in Ghent in 2013 around the theme “Law and (Dis)Order in the Ancient Near East.” Based on papers delivered at that meeting, this volume contains twenty-six essays that focus on archaeological, philological, and historical topics related to order and chaos in the Ancient Near East. Written by a diverse array of international scholars, the contributions to this book explore laws and legal practices in the Ur III, Old Babylonian, Middle Assyrian, and Neo-Assyrian periods in Mesopotamia, as well as in Nuzi and the Hebrew Bible. Among the subjects covered are the Code of Hammurabi, legal phraseology, the archaeological traces of the organization of community life, and biblical law. The volume also contains essays that explore the concepts of chaos/disorder and law/order in divinatory texts and literature. Wide-ranging and cutting-edge, the essays in this collection will be of interest to Assyriologists, especially members of the International Association for Assyriology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Once I had polio I could no longer run and I could no longer play tennis. I tried other hobbies: walking, swimming, gardening, photography, beekeeping. And then I tried sailing.’ Chris Dunning overcame the after-effects of polio to win some of the world's biggest ocean racing competitions, including captaining the British Admiral Cup team to victory in 1977. Throughout his life, Chris has suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune while literally sailing through a sea of troubles, all of which is captured perfectly in About A Village Boy. ‘It’s not all been plain sailing...’ From the rural innocence of the post-war British countryside to the greed and corruption of the 1980s, with thrilling anecdotes of sailing horrors and heroics, this book contains first-hand accounts of the devastating storm that hit the Fastnet race of 1979, but also the brilliant Admiral’s Cup victory two years earlier. It is also a personal tale of how Chris lost his mother at a young age and contracted polio in his teens. His passion for life saw him not only succeed in sailing, but also in the business world – he grew one of the leading shopfitting businesses in the country, only to see it crumble before his eyes. About A Village Boy captures the highs and lows of his extraordinary life.

Book excerpt: “Smith’s thrilling cultural insights never overshadow the wholeness of her characters, who are so keenly observed that one feels witness to their lives.” —O, The Oprah Magazine “A sweeping meditation on art, race, and identity that may be [Smith’s] most ambitious work yet.” —Esquire A New York Times bestseller • Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction • Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize An ambitious, exuberant new novel moving from North West London to West Africa, from the multi-award-winning author of White Teeth and On Beauty. Two brown girls dream of being dancers—but only one, Tracey, has talent. The other has ideas: about rhythm and time, about black bodies and black music, what constitutes a tribe, or makes a person truly free. It's a close but complicated childhood friendship that ends abruptly in their early twenties, never to be revisited, but never quite forgotten, either. Tracey makes it to the chorus line but struggles with adult life, while her friend leaves the old neighborhood behind, traveling the world as an assistant to a famous singer, Aimee, observing close up how the one percent live. But when Aimee develops grand philanthropic ambitions, the story moves from London to West Africa, where diaspora tourists travel back in time to find their roots, young men risk their lives to escape into a different future, the women dance just like Tracey—the same twists, the same shakes—and the origins of a profound inequality are not a matter of distant history, but a present dance to the music of time. Zadie Smith's newest book, Grand Union, published in 2019.

Book excerpt: You don't know me, but you do know me. I'm your neighborhood hot mess single mom, doing my best to keep my head above water while running my little slice of heaven and keeping my youngest from shoving marbles up his nose, which is exactly what he's doing the first time Levi Wilson, pop star god, world's sexiest man, and my all-time number one celebrity obsession, walks into my bookstore. Related: I'm writing this from beyond the grave, because I've died of mortification and am now residing in an alternate universe. I have to be. Because Levi Wilson came back. And we had a moment. Like, a moment moment. The kind that makes me remember that adult pleasure isn't all about hoping the lock holds in the bathroom so your kids don't interrupt on the rare occasion you feel like taking an extra-long mommy-time shower. So when he proposes a no-strings fling? Count. Me. In. Thrill of a lifetime, right? Surely, nothing will go wrong... The Hot Mess and the Heartthrob is a rockin' fun, sexy romantic comedy featuring a celebrity panty-melter who doesn't know what he's been missing, a sassy single mom hanging on by a string, three adorable children who would never burst in on a woman when she's on a toilet (ha!), and shameless ovary-busting moments between a guy who never thought he'd be a dad and a family who thought they got along just fine without him. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after.
