Download or read book Hiddensee written by Gregory Maguire and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the beloved New York Times bestseller Wicked returns with an inventive novel inspired by a timeless holiday legend, intertwining the story of the famous Nutcracker with the life of the mysterious toy maker named Drosselmeier who carves him. Hiddensee: An island of white sandy beaches, salt marshes, steep cliffs, and pine forests north of Berlin in the Baltic Sea, an island that is an enchanting bohemian retreat and home to a large artists' colony-- a wellspring of inspiration for the Romantic imagination . . . Having brought his legions of devoted readers to Oz in Wicked and to Wonderland in After Alice, Maguire now takes us to the realms of the Brothers Grimm and E. T. A. Hoffmann-- the enchanted Black Forest of Bavaria and the salons of Munich. Hiddensee imagines the backstory of the Nutcracker, revealing how this entrancing creature came to be carved and how he guided an ailing girl named Klara through a dreamy paradise on a Christmas Eve. At the heart of Hoffmann's mysterious tale hovers Godfather Drosselmeier-- the ominous, canny, one-eyed toy maker made immortal by Petipa and Tchaikovsky's fairy tale ballet-- who presents the once and future Nutcracker to Klara, his goddaughter. But Hiddensee is not just a retelling of a classic story. Maguire discovers in the flowering of German Romanticism ties to Hellenic mystery-cults-- a fascination with death and the afterlife-- and ponders a profound question: How can a person who is abused by life, shortchanged and challenged, nevertheless access secrets that benefit the disadvantaged and powerless? Ultimately, Hiddensee offers a message of hope. If the compromised Godfather Drosselmeier can bring an enchanted Nutcracker to a young girl in distress on a dark winter evening, perhaps everyone, however lonely or marginalized, has something precious to share.

Download or read book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings written by Maya Angelou and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-07-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.

Dark Moon Rising: Jake Everett hunts monsters for a living and he’s very good at his job. While his mother was human, his father is a full blood Unseelie fairy. Unfortunately, that’s the bad kind of fairy, not the good kind. They aren’t exactly known as champions of justice in the fae realms. After leaving his old team of human hunters behind, he ends up in his hometown of Devil’s Peak. Almost from the first moment that he arrives, he learns he isn’t the only supernatural creature in town. A monster is on the loose and it is his duty to put a stop to it. Jake won’t be alone during this mission. His faithful sidekick, Rudy the leprechaun, will join him on his hunt. His new team will have skills and talents that will come in very handy when dealing with the new types of creatures that keep cropping up. As a twist, he won’t be the only one on the team who isn’t a full human for once. Deadly Seduction: Jake and his new team’s next mission will take them to a town called Paradise. All is not heavenly within the boundaries of the town. Strange creatures are plaguing the humans and it is their job to figure out what they are and how to get rid of them. They enlist the help of a clever young Archivist. With Brandon Cooper’s database of information, they can narrow down the monsters they’ll be facing. Unfortunately, he has to report their visit to his boss, the new Master Archivist. Jake hasn’t met Sheridan Harwood yet and his instincts tell him to avoid her at all costs. They encounter one of the Supernatural Crime Units that have been created to deal with non-human entities. Jake and his team won’t always be able to handle the monsters they’ll be facing alone. While he isn’t happy about the idea of working with the SCU, he might not have a choice. He knows where this job will ultimately take him; back to the fae realms where both danger and delight await him. Dungeon Trials: Hunting elemental monsters that have appeared in Texas, Jake and his team finally discover where they’re coming from. Someone is altering the portals that normally lead to the fae realms to allow creatures to come through from other worlds. They suspect the Dark Prince is behind it, but they don’t know how he’s achieving it. Jake receives a surprise visitor from the Seelie Court. The delectable Emelia gives him a magical invitation from her rulers. He knows he’ll have to open it eventually, but doing so will embroil him deeper in his quest. He’ll have to answer their imperial summons when he’s finished with his current mission. The Hunter Elite join Jake and his team on a job to take down some particularly nasty monsters, then Jake has no choice but to head to the fae realms. Once he has the gem that will allow him to close the dragon portal for good, he will be captured by Prince Sindarian. What happens after that wasn’t covered in the prophecy, but he doubts that whatever the ruler of the Unseelie realm has planned for him will be pleasant. Dragon Pledge: Jake is trapped in the goblin dungeon with no way out. He’s succumbed to the darkness inside him just as the Seer had told him, but he is no closer to finding a way out. Once he finally breaks free of the labyrinth, he has two enemies to kill. The Dark Prince’s days are numbered, even if he doesn’t realize it yet. The team that he left behind is facing their own problems. Asha has been taken and they don’t know where she is. They’ll have to rely on a mysterious warrior from the Seelie realm to come to their aid in order to free her. Sheridan Harwood is gaining the power to evict or kill all supernatural creatures from this realm. She’s made deals with beings from other realms, but she has plans of her own. The new Master Archivist is just as dangerous as the old one and she intends to pick up right where he left off.
