Book excerpt: Do you ever wish you hadn't killed your parents? Nate Evergrim does. By the time he realises that the evil domain he just 'inherited' comes with far more problems than he ever imagined, it's too late... he got what he wanted and now, he'll get what he deserves. The west wing of the castle is falling down after being undermined by dwarves, the kitchens are overrun with mutant weevils, and the builders have walked off the restoration of the torture chamber for health and safety reasons. Wilfully obtuse staff, stupid minions, and a grandmother who (despite his best efforts) just won't die, are the least of his worries. Time is running out for him to find enough gold to quell a mutiny, if he can just survive his devious mistress and stave off invasion from... well... everyone, especially the local Heroes' Guild, who have a quota to meet. And to make matters worse, Health and Safety's most dangerous inspector has just arrived. Minion Morale Day (with shiny-ish prizes) may just be his saving grace... after all, with his rag-tag band of misfits and minions in charge, what could go wrong? ★Publisher note: Written in British English & contains swearing and sarcasm. No mutant weevils were harmed during the writing of this book.

Download or read book A Donkey s Diary written by Conny Jansky and published by Conny Jansky. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy-five years after the publication of Orwell’s satirical fable, it’s story time again! So, welcome to the Free World where everyone will live happily ever after… right? SYNOPSIS A team of future scientists is determined to find out what caused a previous mass extinction of species when they discover evidence of mysterious creatures that may provide an answer to what caused the event. The ancient finds include several scriptures, among them a story called Animal Farm which tells the tale of a farm on which animals decide to overthrow their evil human master but soon after doing so, the farm’s pigs take over and turn malignant, too. This story is continued in another scripture titled Animal Farming which is told from the perspective of the donkey Benjamin, who escapes the farm in fear of persecution by the pigs. At first, Benjamin is impressed by the high living standards on his new host farm but soon starts developing ethical concerns when a huge hen cage is installed. Benjamin meets a series of characters representing renowned Western philosophers who have shaped the basis of today’s moral justification for intensive animal farming methods. From Aristotle to Kant, they all try their best to convince Benjamin of its legitimacy – and not without success! It is only after a personal tragedy that Benjamin realises he should have listened to his gut feeling. Besides challenging the popular reasoning in favour of intensive farming methods, A Donkey’s Diary explores arguments concerning animal welfare, animal rights, and environmental protection in the context of the ongoing climate crisis and mass extinction event. In a sarcastic tone, the story questions the popular assumption that humans are not to be considered animals due to their allegedly superior intellect. In doing so, the donkey Benjamin reveals what truly lies beneath their apparent need for eternal growth despite its fatal consequences that currently threaten to destroy their own livelihoods. Similar to its prequel, A Donkey’s Diary is a satirical fable about humans and other animals. The story represents how food production – and with it the human-animal relationship – has changed over the course of the past three Industrial Revolutions and highlights which ancient arguments were (and still are) used to justify intensive farming practices. It invites the reader to ponder animals, food, money, work, intelligence and much more.

Download or read book The Diary of a Professional Experiencer written by Eric Morris and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2011-05-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Diary of a Professional Experiencer is the sixth in a series of books written by Eric Morris. Unlike his other books, this is a very personal account of his frustrations and struggles as he strives to discover how the actor creates reality on the stage or in film. Though the style is autobiographical, this is, nevertheless, a book about acting. It details the specific discoveries and breakthroughs in the evolution of what Morris believes is the most complete acting system to date. The old adage, Necessity is the mother of invention, truly describes his drive to discover, explore, and experiment with incredible techniques for liberating the actor so that acting goes beyond the conventional into the experiential. The book also chronicles Morris' encounters with many famous teachers, actors, directors, producers, and writers, as well as not-so-famous people, who influenced, challenged, and inspired him on his journey. It starts with Morris' early childhood and growing-up years in Chicago and goes on to describe the trials and tribulations of pursuing a career in Hollywood, as well as the fulfillment that comes from creating a truly life-changing approach to living and acting.
