Download or read book Cursed Legacy written by Frederic Spotts and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Son of the famous Thomas Mann, homosexual, drug-addicted, and forced to flee from his fatherland, the gifted writer Klaus Mann’s comparatively short life was as artistically productive as it was devastatingly dislocated. Best-known today as the author of Mephisto, the literary enfant terrible of the Weimar era produced seven novels, a dozen plays, four biographies, and three autobiographies—among them the first works in Germany to tackle gay issues—amidst a prodigious artistic output. He was among the first to take up his pen against the Nazis, as a reward for which he was blacklisted and denounced as a dangerous half-Jew, his books burnt in public squares around Germany, and his citizenship revoked. Having served with the U.S. military in Italy, he was nevertheless undone by anti-Communist fanatics in Cold War-era America and Germany, dying in France (though not, as all other books contend, by his own hand) at age forty-two. Powerful, revealing, and compulsively readable, this first English-language biography of Klaus Mann charts the effects of reactionary politics on art and literature and tells the moving story of a supreme talent destroyed by personal circumstance and the seismic events of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Fate Always Finds a Way... No matter where I go, the tattered red threads of the Moirai follow me. If they have their way, it’s only a matter of time and I'll be joining the early grave of so many Blackwoods before me. What’s worse, the curse is expanding and threatening to take more lives. Expelled from his birthright for loving me, Wade is now a completely mortal, and vulnerable human. If he dies, there’s no coming back as an angel because not even a necromancer can save him when fate and death conspire. I need to put an end to this, but how do I do it when everything about who I am and whom I'm becoming is built on a lie? One that's torn my family apart at its seams for centuries.

Download or read book A Cursed Legacy written by Kaye Draper and published by No Rules Press. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 891 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My family is dead and gone. But they left their grimoire behind. Now it's my job to free the powerful magical beings trapped in the pages. I might just find a whole new family…if they don't kill me first. I was just a kid when my family was executed for starting a magical war, forcing me to live my life in the human world, far away from the judgment and scorn of the magical world—and far away from the weirdos who want me to tell them all my dangerous Lovell family secrets. But when a cursed grimoire containing enslaved magical beings falls into my lap, I can't continue to avoid my family's craptastic legacy of pain and suffering. Now, thanks to the nagging of an annoyingly moral ghost, I'm off to free the powerful (and pissed-off) creatures in the bestiary. I'm nothing like my horrible family. But my newfound attraction to dangerous magical beings who could murder me without a thought… yeah, that might indicate otherwise. Author's Note This story is part of my serial, The Bestiary, on Kindle Vella. It is part of an ongoing series, and I will continue to release new books as the story progresses. A Cursed Legacy is 141,000 words long. The major plot arc is resolved, however since this is a series, a new complication is introduced at the end of the book, so expect a little twist/cliffy. If you are interested in reading book 2 as I write it, you can find it on Vella. Season 2/Book 2 starts on episode 43. You can also read along on my Patreon page. Content Warnings *poly romance, contains MF, MM, FF, NB/intersex romantic interactions, as well as multiples *swearing and explicit sexual content *some characters have suffered trauma in their past, most of which is off page/mentioned in passing *there is one scene where a character with PTSD loses control during a BDSM session. The MC is not actually harmed, but this may be triggering to some readers *stupid humor and a sarcastic main character who is just done with the world's bullshit, but also has a moral compass no matter how much she wants to wish otherwise

Download or read book Carson McCullers written by Mary V. Dearborn and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major biography in more than twenty years of one of America’s greatest writers, based on newly available letters and journals V. S. Pritchett called her “a genius.” Gore Vidal described her as a “beloved novelist of singular brilliance . . . Of all the Southern writers, she is the most apt to endure . . .” And Tennessee Williams said, “The only real writer the South ever turned out, was Carson.” She was born Lula Carson Smith in Columbus, Georgia. Her dream was to become a concert pianist, though she’d been writing since she was sixteen and the influence of music was evident throughout her work. As a child, she said she’d been “born a man.” At twenty, she married Reeves McCullers, a fellow southerner, ex-soldier, and aspiring writer (“He was the best-looking man I had ever seen”). They had a fraught, tumultuous marriage lasting twelve years and ending with his suicide in 1953. Reeves was devoted to her and to her writing, and he envied her talent; she yearned for attention, mostly from women who admired her but rebuffed her sexually. Her first novel—The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter—was published in 1940, when she was twenty-three, and overnight, Carson McCullers became the most widely talked about writer of the time. While McCullers’s literary stature continues to endure, her private life has remained enigmatic and largely unexamined. Now, with unprecedented access to the cache of materials that has surfaced in the past decade, Mary Dearborn gives us the first full picture of this brilliant, complex artist who was decades ahead of her time, a writer who understood—and captured—the heart and longing of the outcast.
