Blaire Callahan had escaped her dangerous past to create a new life for herself.

She risks her safety and her heart to explore the spark between them, only to be exposed to the press. Vanishing is her only option.

Download or read book Curtain of Lies written by Melissa Feinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Cold War governments of Eastern Europe operated within the confines of the Soviet worldview, their peoples confronted the narratives of both East and West. From the Soviet Union and its satellites, they heard of a West dominated by imperialist warmongers and of the glorious future only Communism could bring. A competing discourse emanated from the West, claiming that Eastern Europe was a totalitarian land of captive slaves, powerless in the face of Soviet aggression. In Curtain of Lies, Melissa Feinberg conducts a timely examination into the nature of truth, using the political culture of Eastern Europe during the Cold War as her foundation. Focusing on the period between 1948 and 1956, she looks at how the "truth" of Eastern Europe was delineated by actors on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Feinberg offers a fresh interpretation of the Cold War as a shared political environment, exploring the ways in which ordinary East Europeans interacted with these competing understandings of their homeland. She approaches this by looking at the relationship between the American-sponsored radio stations broadcast across the Iron Curtain and the East European émigrés they interviewed as sources on life under Communism. Feinberg's careful analysis reveals that these parties developed mutually reinforced assumptions about the meaning of Communism, helping to create the evidentiary foundation for totalitarian interpretations of Communist rule in Eastern Europe. In bridging the geopolitical and the individual, Curtain of Lies provides a perspective that is both innovative in its methodology and indispensable to its field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 29 years old Tara’s monotonous routine is interrupted when a strange man enters her life and claims that he will cause bomb blasts and terrorize the religious city of Schedoty in order to exterminate those who believe in the creator and have blind faith. When Tara ignores his claims, the strange man goes ahead with his mission. Will Tara feel guilty? Did she commit a crime of letting the terror attacks occur by not taking an action against the warnings given to her? Or will nihilism prevail and crime she has not have committed as she perceives that imposing religion is in itself a grave sin. Simultaneously, Tara is tormented when her past surfaces in the form of emotions and a close one gets affected with schizophrenia. Can Tara’s philosophical attitude pave way for survival? This story attempts the exposition of existentialism, religious fundamentalism, nihilism, finding what is real in the unreal, and the wrath of sanity and insanity.

Download or read book Captivity Sentiment written by Michelle Burnham and published by Dartmouth College Press. This book was released on 2000-10-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a radically new interpretation and synthesis of highly popular 18th- and 19th-century genres, Michelle Burnham examines the literature of captivity, and, using Homi Bhabha's concept of interstitiality as a base, provides a valuable redescription of the ambivalent origins of the US national narrative. Stories of colonial captives, sentimental heroines, or fugitive slaves embody a "binary division between captive and captor that is based on cultural, national, or racial difference," but they also transcend these pre-existing antagonistic dichotomies by creating a new social space, and herein lies their emotional power. Beginning from a simple question on why captivity, particularly that of women, so often inspires a sentimental response, Burnham examines how these narratives elicit both sympathy and pleasure. The texts carry such great emotional impact precisely because they "traverse those very cultural, national, and racial boundaries that they seem so indelibly to inscribe. Captivity literature, like its heroines, constantly negotiates zones of contact," and crossing those borders reveals new cultural paradigms to the captive and, ultimately, the reader.
