Book excerpt: Demons are bad. Politicians are worse. The city’s next would-be mayor is in bed with demons—literally. He’s got big plans to renew the founder’s demonic pacts and turn Jarvis back into the hub of glamor and decadence it used to be… by feeding the city’s undesirables to the hungry maw of hell. Politics isn’t my game, so where do I come in? Well, demons don’t like to leave their wins up to chance. If he can’t win the old-fashioned way, he’ll do it by going after his opponent’s son. I’ve been hired to protect the kid, which means I’m on babysitting duty until I find a way to shut this guy down. The election is in a week. I’ve got that long to stop him before he becomes the next mayor and turns the city into an all-you-can-eat demon buffet. And I have to keep the kid safe while I do it. Oh, and did I mention my client has forbidden me from getting my hands dirty? He wants to win this thing fair and square or not at all. Good thing I’m no good at taking orders.

Download or read book Hard to Be a God written by and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1963 masterpiece is widely considered one of the best novels of the greatest Russian writers of science fiction. Yet until now the only English version (unavailable for over thirty years) was based on a German translation, and was full of errors, infelicities, and misunderstandings. Now, in a new translation by Olena Bormashenko, whose translation of the authors’ Roadside Picnic has received widespread acclaim, here is the definitive edition of this brilliant work. It tells the story of Don Rumata, who is sent from Earth to the medieval kingdom of Arkanar with instructions to observe and to save what he can. Masquerading as an arrogant nobleman, a dueler and a brawler, Don Rumata is never defeated, but can never kill. With his doubt and compassion, and his deep love for a local girl named Kira, Rumata wants to save the kingdom from the machinations of Don Reba, the first minister to the king. But given his orders, what role can he play? Hard to Be a God has inspired a role-playing video game and two movies, including Aleksei German’s long-awaited swan song. This long overdue translation will reintroduce one of the most profound Soviet-era novels to an eager audience. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were famous and popular Russian writers of science fiction, with more than 25 novels and novellas to their names. Hari Kunzru is the author of highly praised novels including Gods Without Men and The Impressionist. Olena Bormashenko is the acclaimed translator of the Strugatskys’ Roadside Picnic.

Book excerpt: God is dead. I killed him. My name’s Nic Ward. At least, that’s what I’m going by these days. Once, Heaven and Hell alike knew me as Nicariel the Fallen. But it turns out killing the tyrant on the Divine Throne will earn you a bit of a reputation. So I’m hiding out in the human world, keeping to myself. I’d say I’ve more than earned a quiet retirement. But without anyone keeping order up above, the demons in Hell are restless. And Heaven has its own problems, with power-hungry angels scheming to claim the Throne for themselves. It’s easy for defenseless humans to get caught in the crossfire. And no one is interested in looking out for the little guy. No one but me. Guess my retirement won’t be so quiet after all… This omnibus edition contains the first three books of the Nic Ward noir urban fantasy series: Nothing Sacred, Broken Faith, and Crooked Idols.

Each chapter contains an overview of the topic and alphabetized entries on examples of each theme. A chronology covers from prehistoric times to the present, and special appendices offer profiles of a typical day in the life of representative members of Japanese society, key facts and figures about Japan, and a holiday chart. This volume is ideal for students researching Japan, as well as general readers interested in learning more about the country.

Download or read book Modalities of the Translation Ideology Nexus written by Jamil Asghar Jami and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intellectually vigorous and critically engaging study provides a cultural and linguistic critique of V. G. Kiernan’s translation of Muhammad Iqbal, the foremost Muslim poet and philosopher, with reference to such larger questions as ideology, power, and discourse, as well as their complicity with the practice of (mis)translation. Providing an illuminating and incisive account of the cultural and linguistic distortions, the book shows how misrepresentations and mistranslations abound in Kiernan’s work. It invites the reader, especially scholars of the field, to pay close attention to the nuances and subtleties of translation, which, in a cumulative way, rewrite the original text in the process of translation. The politics of translation, in apparently innocuous ways, brings about and perpetuates the marginalization and exclusion of non-European works. Contrary to the common view, translation is deeply enmeshed in cross-cultural power struggles and mired in ideological dogmas and preconceptions. In the contemporary world where Islam and Muslims are increasingly portrayed as “cultural others”, the book comes as a timely rejoinder to the domesticated introductions of Iqbal in the West.

Download or read book The Testimony of Jesus written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2005-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The local church, the church in each locality, is the testimony of Jesus today. The testimony of Jesus is the practical church, not the church ?in the air? or the church to come. A church yet to come cannot show Jesus to people, and a church ?in the heavens? may show Jesus to the angels, but it cannot show Jesus to people on the earth. Therefore, we need to consider whether we truly bear the image of Jesus. If we show someone an unclear picture of a person, it will not be a proper testimony of him with his image and appearance. We may see something in the picture, but it will not be the person we claim to show. The church in our locality must bear the image, expression, appearance, and virtues of Christ.
