Book excerpt: Rane Powers is not your ordinary young man. He'd been born in a tragic scenario. His parents rushed to the hospital when Rane's mother was in labour. The night in Titan City was terrible, a thunderstorm roared through the sky and the rain poured down harder than cats and dogs. Rane's mother went in labour, his father couldn't see... the rain made it too difficult to see... CRASH!!! The car crashed into a telephone pole. Rane's father hadn't been wearing his seat belt and was thrown through the window... he did not survive. His mother had her seat belt on but with the circumstance of labour, things didn't look good. She lied on the ground; the rain flooded the streets, her baby boy was born... the telephone pole rolled off the car and hit the ground... electricity flowed through the rain water, hitting the new-born baby boy. Thanks to a Good Samaritan the boy was found and rushed to the hospital... he would survive. The problem was the young boy had a boatload of problems, from not being able to walk, to the fact his eyes were entirely blue (yes meaning his sclera was blue). The boy struggled to walk when growing up but he found it easy to swim in a pool. Water had always been a favourite of Rane while growing up. From loving to swim to when an infant he would not drink milk from his bottle, just water. As Rane grew older, he overcame his problems. His muscles got strong, almost overnight, he could walk and without a limp too. By age 12 Rane was as normal as any other 12-year-old boy... well except that his eyes remained all blue. Rane became such a normal boy that the hospital sent him off into foster care. He lived with a few families before getting adopted by the Hill Family. Now the Hill family comprised of Jackie Hill and Brian Hill. To be perfectly frank, the idea to adopt had been solely Jackie's as Brian hated kids and wanted nothing to do with one... including Rane. Young Rane had a tough time at home with Brian and at school with a trio of bullies. They all put him down and even physically harmed him. But through this punishment Rane found his body turning into water... protecting himself from the hits. Eventually his entire body turned into water, and in this form Rane was untouchable. He could form into many versions of water, from a puddle, a handmade of water, to water vapour. Yes he could do it all, he even picked a name for himself... The Rainman! Titan Techs is the leading technical company in the city, and the man who runs it, Gary Stern, is an evil man. He wants to take over the city and eventually the world! He and his team ended up building a state-of-the art killing machine dubbed the 'Mr. Titan Automaton'. The machine is 10 feet tall with a hard exterior body, the latest and greatest smart computer running inside... oh did I mention liquid mental arms that change into weapons. The newest superhero, The Rainman has to put his powers to the test while facing this incredible cyborg. They battled over and over as Titan City became a mess. Before the city gets completely destroyed, The Rainman found a way to destroy the mighty machine and beat him at his own game... on the computer. He ended the nightmare that plagued the city and let them know a hero was born.

Book excerpt: One of the great World War I antiwar novels—honest, chilling, and brilliantly satirical Based on the author's experiences on the Western Front, Richard Aldington's first novel, Death of a Hero, finally joins the ranks of Penguin Classics. Our hero is George Winterbourne, who enlists in the British Expeditionary Army during the Great War and gets sent to France. After a rash of casualties leads to his promotion through the ranks, he grows increasingly cynical about the war and disillusioned by the hypocrisies of British society. Aldington's writing about Britain's ignorance of the tribulations of its soldiers is among the most biting ever published. Death of a Hero vividly evokes the morally degrading nature of combat as it rushes toward its astounding finish. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robin McKinley's mesmerizing history of Damar is the stuff that legends are made of. The Hero and the Crown is a dazzling "prequel" to The Blue Sword. Aerin is the only child of the king of Damar, and should be his rightful heir. But she is also the daughter of a witchwoman of the North, who died when she was born, and the Damarians cannot trust her. But Aerin's destiny is greater than her father's people know, for it leads her to battle with Maur, the Black Dragon, and into the wilder Damarian Hills, where she meets the wizard Luthe. It is he who at last tells her the truth about her mother, and he also gives over to her hand the Blue Sword, Gonturan. But such gifts as these bear a great price, a price Aerin only begins to realize when she faces the evil mage, Agsded, who has seized the Hero's Crown, greatest treasure and secret strength of Damar.

Download or read book The Myth of the Birth of the Hero written by Otto Rank and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in German in 1909, Otto Rank's original The Myth of the Birth of the Hero offered psychoanalytical interpretations of mythological stories as a means of understanding the human psyche. Like his mentor Sigmund Freud, Rank compared the myths of such figures as Oedipus, Moses, and Sargon with common dreams, seeing in both a symbolic fulfillment of repressed desire. In a new edition published thirteen years after the original, Rank doubled the size of his seminal work, incorporating new discoveries in psychoanalysis, mythology, and ethnology. This expanded and updated edition has been eloquently translated by Gregory C. Richter and E. James Lieberman and includes an introductory essay by Robert A. Segal as well as Otto Rank's 1914 essay "The Play in Hamlet."

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST FANTASY NOVELS OF ALL TIME. "Jin Yong's work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" combined" Nick Frisch, New Yorker "Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur. Prepare to be swept along." Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail China: 1200 A.D. The Song Empire has been invaded by its warlike Jurchen neighbours from the north. Half its territory and its historic capital lie in enemy hands; the peasants toil under the burden of the annual tribute demanded by the victors. Meanwhile, on the Mongolian steppe, a disparate nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity: Genghis Khan. Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grew up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts. Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China - to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing - to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn. Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood
