Book excerpt: Ellfs’ Enchantments transports readers from the mundane world of today into a fantastical world of historical Celtic mythology. After signing a treaty with the Tuatha De Danann, handing over their land above ground, some of the Ellfs continue to hide in a secret underground realm called Ellse Where, a separate world created by Ellfstane, King of the Ellfs. Part of the treaty entails that any new ruler of the De Danann must meet the Ellf King to gain favour, but this only amplifies their infatuation with the Ellfs and their desire to capture them as pets. The Formor demons and their Celtic followers, the Firbolgs, are also pursuant of the Ellfs—but to abolish them and overtake the Jewelled Isles. As the threat to her people increases, High Sorceress Katara orders all High Sorcerers to separate and create more hidden cities for the Ellf refugees all over the isles. Some of the De Danann agree to help the Ellfs rid their homeland of the Formorii and Firbolgs, but at a very steep price. While remaining hidden, Katara continues to compile a comprehensive book of Ellf spells with the help of her friends and the Ellf gods. As both Katara and her cousin Hollae begin to learn more about worlds beyond their own through the teachings of their gods, they discover the incredible power within them and the destiny of their people. Ellfs’ Enchantments is the second book of the Ellfaerran Diaries.

Download or read book Harry Potter and Resistance written by Beth Sutton-Ramspeck and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rule breaking in Harry Potter is sometimes dismissed as a distraction from Harry’s fight against Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter and Resistance makes the case that it is central to the battle against evil. Far beyond youthful hijinks or adolescent defiance, Harry’s rebellion aims to overcome problems deeper and more widespread than a single malevolent wizard. Harry and his allies engage in a resistance movement against the corruption of the Ministry of Magic as well as against the racist social norms that gave rise to Voldemort in the first place. Dumbledore’s Army and the Order of the Phoenix employ methods echoing those utilized by World War II resistance fighters and by the U.S. Civil Rights movement. The aim of this book is to explore issues that speak to our era of heightened political awareness and resistance to intolerance. Its interdisciplinary approach draws on political science, psychology, philosophy, history, race studies, and women’s studies, as well as newer interdisciplinary fields such as resistance studies, disgust studies, and creativity studies.

Download or read book Art and Enchantment written by Patrick Curry and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the experience of enchantment in art. Considering the essential characteristics, dynamics and conditions of the experience of enchantment in relation to art, including liminality, it offers studies of different kinds of artistic experience and activity, including painting, music, fiction and poetry, before exploring the possibility of a life oriented to enchantment as the activity of art itself. With attention to the complex relationship between wonder in art and the programmatic disenchantment to which it is often subject, the author draws on the thought of a diverse range of philosophers, sociological theorists and artists, to offer an understanding of art through the idea of enchantment, and enchantment through art. An accessible study, richly illustrated with experience – both that of the author and others – Art and Enchantment will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and anyone with interests in the nature of aesthetic experience.
