Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eastern Legends and Stories: In English Verse The author, in submitting to the Public the following collection of Translations from Eastern sources, has thought it best to convert for the most part the Oriental forms of speech, which the characters in these Legends would use, into, as far as may be, their English equi valents; that what is said might sound more real in Western ears. He has reduced the number of foot-notes to the narrowest possible limits, believing that in a work of light poetry the constant intervention of notes becomes tiresome to the reader. Many, in reading this small collection of Legends, will doubtless recognize some Old Friends with New Faces.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "Big Book of Fictional Mythological Stories" is a collection of some of the most fascinating and engrossing mythological tales from around the world. Compiled from different cultures and traditions, these stories offer a unique insight into the diverse range of human beliefs and experiences. From the ancient Greek and Roman pantheons to the Norse and Egyptian gods, from the Hindu epics to the folklore of the Native American tribes, this book offers a rich tapestry of myths and legends that span across time and geography. The stories in this book are not mere retellings of the old myths; they are fresh and original interpretations that explore the timeless themes and motifs of the mythological genre. The author of these stories have taken the familiar characters and events from the myths and breathed new life into them, creating narratives that are both faithful to the sources and imaginative in their retelling. In this book, you will find stories that range from the familiar to the obscure, from the tragic to the humorous, from the epic to the intimate. You will encounter characters like Zeus, Odin, Vishnu, and Quetzalcoatl, as well as lesser-known deities and heroes from different cultures. You will witness battles between gods and demons, quests for immortality, and journeys through the underworld. You will also find stories of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, all told with the richness and depth of mythological storytelling. One of the goals of this book is to highlight the universality of mythological storytelling. Despite the differences in culture and language, the themes and motifs of myths and legends are often strikingly similar. From the hero's journey to the creation myth, from the flood story to the trickster tale, these stories reflect the common concerns and aspirations of humanity. They remind us that, no matter where we come from, we share a common heritage of storytelling that has been passed down from generation to generation. Another aim of this book is to showcase the versatility and adaptability of mythological storytelling. The authors of these stories have taken the old myths and infused them with new perspectives, voices, and themes, making them relevant and accessible to contemporary readers. He has used the timeless language and imagery of myth to explore modern concerns and issues, such as identity, gender, race, and politics. He has also challenged the traditional narrative structures and conventions of myth, creating stories that are innovative and surprising.

Download or read book Legends That Every Child Should Know written by Hamilton Wright Mabie and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-03-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Middle Ages verse-making was very popular and very widely practised; for versification is very easy when people are in the habit of using it freely, and a verse is much more easily remembered than a line of prose. For many generations legends were versified. It must be remembered that verse and poetry are often very far apart; and poetry is as difficult to compose as verse is easy. The versified legends were very rarely poetic; they were simply narratives in verse. Occasionally men of poetic genius took hold of these old stories and gave them beautiful forms as did the German poet Hartmann von Aue in -Der Arme Heinrich.

Download or read book Dreaming of You written by Melissa Lozada-Oliva and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A feverish story of young adulthood, exploring how fandom and obsession shape how we relate to the world . . . Dreaming of You navigates the complexities of Latinx identity, self-loathing, love, and the loneliness of drifting into adulthood." —Miguel Salazar, Vulture "At the center of this exploration of insecurities, joys, and identity stands Melissa Lozada-Oliva—an unapologetic poet who isn’t afraid of the rawness of the mind and is resilient in her writing— so much so that it feels like we’re talking to our best friend." —Bianca Pérez, Porter House Review A macabre novel in verse of loss, longing, and identity crises following a poet who resurrects pop star Selena from the dead. Melissa Lozada-Oliva's Dreaming of You is an absurd yet heartfelt examination of celebrity worship. A young Latinx poet grappling with loneliness and heartache decides one day to bring Tejano pop star Selena Quintanilla back to life. The séance kicks off an uncanny trip narrated by a Greek chorus of gossiping spirits as she journeys through a dead celebrity prom, encounters her shadow self, and performs karaoke in hell. In visceral poems embodying millennial angst, paragraph-long conversations overheard at her local coffeeshop, and unhinged Twitter rants, Lozada-Oliva reveals an eerie, sometimes gruesome, yet moving love story. Playfully morbid and profoundly candid, an interrogation of Latinidad, womanhood, obsession, and disillusionment, Dreaming of You grapples with the cost of being seen for your truest self.
