Book excerpt: Young Paulter adores the Grand Court Wizard, Galdar and in secrecy serves as his apprentice. When Galdar is poisoned, the stage is set for a race against time in which Paulter must be ordained by the source of magic "the Heart". This is an imperative and time-honored procedure that will allow him to become the next Grand Court Wizard. Evil Ronar pulls out all the stops in an effort to stop Paulter from reaching his lofty goal. Ronar feels that the timing is perfect to make his attempt at overtaking their world while Galdar is no longer there to protect them. He creates a massive army that threatens the very existence of the Faerie world and will eventually annihilate all the other races one at a time. With the help of some unlikely friends, Paulter struggles to reach the Heart and put an end to the senseless carnage that Ronar is willing to inflict on anyone standing in his way. However, there are still other issues that Paulter must deal with, including the search to find the murderer of his friend and mentor, Galdar. This is a story of the struggle between good and evil, but also, the emergence of a man who is destined to play a powerful role in the care of the races that comprise his world. The friends who help him, all have different roles to play and both collectively and individually help Paulter to realize how important friends can be.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Fantasy Literature written by Edward James and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantasy is a creation of the Enlightenment, and the recognition that excitement and wonder can be found in imagining impossible things. From the ghost stories of the Gothic to the zombies and vampires of twenty-first-century popular literature, from Mrs Radcliffe to Ms Rowling, the fantastic has been popular with readers. Since Tolkien and his many imitators, however, it has become a major publishing phenomenon. In this volume, critics and authors of fantasy look at its history since the Enlightenment, introduce readers to some of the different codes for the reading and understanding of fantasy, and examine some of the many varieties and subgenres of fantasy; from magical realism at the more literary end of the genre, to paranormal romance at the more popular end. The book is edited by the same pair who produced The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction (winner of a Hugo Award in 2005).

Download or read book Bridge of the Gods written by Len Robertson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Brown, a divorced, forty year old housewife with five children suddenly finds herself eighteen years old, nude and lost in a land far different from anything she's ever seen. Then, she meets Fred and life gets infinitely more complicated. She's killed! Shortly afterward, she finds herself revived and pitted against Donovan Fausto in a life or death struggle. The best she can hope for is that she only gets herself killed. A horrific nuclear winter and a new "Dark Age" is far more likely. But first, Mary has to survive Boogey Monsters and their deadly short swords. A knife of her own would help, not to mention clothing, boots and a few friends to help her survive her first day in Galatia. Still, considering she needs years of training and experience if she means to match Donovan Fausto and she only has three weeks in which to do it, maybe it might be simpler for Mary if she dies. That way, she can't be blamed for the catastrophe to follow.

Download or read book The Mythopoeic Code of Tolkien written by Jyrki Korpua and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. R. R. Tolkien is arguably the most influential fantasy writer of all time--his world building and epic mythology have changed Western audiences' imaginations and the entire fantasy genre. This book is the first wide-ranging Christian Platonic reading on Tolkien's fiction. This analysis, written for scholars and general Tolkien enthusiasts alike, discusses how his fiction is constructed on levels of language, myth and textuality that have a background in the Greek philosopher Plato's texts and early Christian philosophy influenced by Plato. It discusses the concepts of ideal and real, creation and existence, and fall and struggle as central elements of Tolkien's fiction, focusing on The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth. Reading Tolkien's fiction as a depiction of ideal and real, from the vision of creation to the process of realization, illuminates a part of Tolkien's aesthetics and mythology that previous studies have overlooked.

Written in a practical and instructional style, the book covers a wide range of topics including worship, prayer, family life, and societal responsibilities. Baxter's work is an important piece of English Puritan literature, reflecting the religious and moral concerns of his era. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the moral framework of the time and offers insights into the practical application of Christian principles in daily life. Richard Baxter, a prominent Puritan minister and theologian, was known for his pastoral care and devotion to promoting religious reform.
