Download or read book The Great Winter written by Aya Neia and published by Aya Neia. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in Borre. It’s a tiny village in the North, near the ancient forest. Winters here last for long months, and summer passes quickly. Every year, on Yule, we honor gods and spirits and celebrate the coming of the good Lord–the Sun King, who gives us the harvest, protects the flock from frost, and hunters from wolves. The longest night passed, and summer came. But Wiseman noticed the summers are getting colder, and the nights are getting longer. Now it is dangerous to hunt in the depths of the forest, as the monsters appeared there. That's because the balance between good and evil, between darkness and light, has been disturbed. In the North, where the Great Tree grows, a new king has appeared. He killed the Sun King and seized his spells, so our world is doomed...

Download or read book Seventh Virgin written by Bel Seth and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before history was properly recorded, something happened on earth—a horrid event that could twist the tongue when described in the words of men. Humans and supernatural beings partnered together to contravene a law but were quickly bundled up and flushed into the bottomless pit and under the marine beds. Today, the horrors of sex slavery, abduction of beautiful young virgins from different parts of the world, and a physical, coded manifestation of fallen angels have all teamed up to pull out this ancient sin from the abyss. The seventh virgin’s story written on a parchment with bloody ink extracted from the veins of snakes and rodents must be given credence, for it—together with her knowledge of Egyptian writings and hieroglyphic drawings—could be used as tools to liberate thousands of maidens locked in African jungles and Egyptian pyramids and also prevent the rebirth of the giant race! Here comes a page-turning, supernatural, thriller novel filled with nerve-twisting suspense, heartbreak, betrayal, treachery, broken covenants, riots between terrestrial men and extraterrestrial creatures, immoral acts between a man and a deity’s bride, and pregnancies resulting from ungodly unions between virgins and supernatural beings.

Download or read book Learning English in Japan written by Takunori Terasawa and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple discourses circulate Japanese society surrounding the relationship between Japanese people and the English language. For example, 'Japanese people are the worst English speakers in Asia, ' 'Japanese women love the English language' and 'learning English leads to increased income and career opportunities.' From a sociological perspective, this book tests the veracity of these discourses, using social statistical data. The aim here is to paint an accurate picture of society to assist the argument for evidence-based policy in English language education, and to challenge the myths about Japanese people and the English language propagated by various interest groups, including the government and the business community. This important book reveals that the English language discourses that exist in Japan today are largely based on misconceptions, pointing to the urgent need to challenge the education policies based on such falsehoods.

Download or read book Yalla Feminists written by Lina AbiRafeh and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab region continues to be among the most challenging in the world for the progress of women's rights. Equality remains elusive for women and vulnerable groups in the region due to traditional patriarchal cultures, protracted crises, lack of religious freedom, discriminatory legal frameworks, and chronic insecurity. The strongest indicator of peace in any country is in its treatment of women, but the story of women's rights in the region is one of patchy progress and major regress. Today, women are experiencing a massive backlash against their rights and fundamental freedoms. And yet, there is hope. Feminists--particularly young feminists--from the Arab region fight tirelessly for their rights and are leading movements around the region pushing for change. This book looks at the last 50 years of Arab feminism with a view to understanding what the next 50 years will hold. Built from hundreds of firsthand accounts with women in the region, this book brings together voices across the 22 Arab states to present new pathways to women's rights and gender equality.
