Book excerpt: We're all just animals after all. Before the beekeeper arrived, the Crimson Quays was just a well-appointed tourist trap: a luxury travel resort replete with swimming pools, musical performances, and amusement park rides. However, the resort's crowning glory--the very feature that drew the beekeeper to the island in the first place--was the zoo. Although the beekeeper, a biologist by trade, was tasked with the construction of the zoo, he was rarely spotted at resort events. Instead, he spent his evenings chasing other zoological pursuits--specifically, he was attempting to crossbreed a new species of wolf that would thrive in the resort's arid climate. The beekeeper's odd behaviour went mostly unnoticed... until the night the animals got out. Originally published in Globus Magazine as a serial comic, Crimson Quays was written by travel journalist Jonathan Bousfield and illustrated by celebrated comic artist Igor Haufbauer, creator of the Alcuin Society Award-winning Mister Morgen. In Crimson Quays, Bousfield and Haufbauer reveal a nightmarish tale of human manipulation gone very, very awry.

Download or read book The Silver Gander written by Frances Kelly and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland, 1540s. The Silver Gander, set against the tapestry of Celtic society, is a novel about one woman’s devotion to her people, amid a web of political intrigue. Saoirse Brennen, a trusted advisor to her chieftain, must walk a careful path when his son murders a local farmer. But that path is overshadowed when the English king, Henry VIII, claims all of Ireland as his own. The treachery of one chieftain and the cunning of another forces Saoirse into an impossible situation: to submit to English subjugation or watch her people lose their livelihoods. Either way, her way-of-life will be destroyed. When Saoirse becomes chieftain, she realizes the ancient laws of the Celts are failing under the burden of change. Navigating impending economic ruin, discriminatory laws, a scattered family, and murderous interlopers, Saoirse builds alliances and calls on old wisdom to find a new path. But there is a piece of her own past that keeps intruding. Her decision to carry her burden alone threatens to turn away the one man who can help her most. The Silver Gander weaves a story of love and determination amid the last vestiges of an ancient society, a story that, centuries later, is unexpectedly familiar.

Download or read book His Masterpiece written by Émile Zola and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2016-09-28T19:24:48Z with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His Masterpiece, sometimes translated as “The Work” or “The Masterpiece,” is Zola’s 14th entry in his Rougon-Macquart series of novels. In it we see Claude Lantier, a painter with obvious talent, struggle to leave a revolutionary mark on the art world of 19th-century Paris. The novel deftly explores the themes of genius, poverty, purity in art, art as a bureaucratic institution, obsession, and madness. The book is notable not just for its accurate portrayal of the art world of the time, but also for the interesting personal details Zola incorporated into the book. Lantier is a pastiche of several famous painters Zola personally knew, including Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, and Édouard Manet; Lantier’s masterpiece is based on Manet’s revolutionary painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe; and the novel’s accuracy is even blamed on ending the long friendship between Zola and Cézanne. Zola himself includes a self-portrait, as the character Pierre Sandoz. Vizetelly’s translation is fresh and readable, and Zola’s rendition of Paris and the surrounding countryside is vibrant and engrossing. Rarely do we get such a close and engaging window into bohemian life in old Paris. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
