Book excerpt: In the mystical realm of the Seven Circles, all races have lived in harmony within their own spheres. Now, in the final installment of this trilogy from author Douglas Niles, they must band together to fight the ultimate evil. The threat of war has loomed over the spheres of the Seven Circles for more than five decades—and now the enemy has finally advanced, forcing the creatures of this peace-loving world into violent battle. If they lose, the Seven Circles will belong to Karlath-Fayd—a brutal Deathlord whose rule promises everlasting misery. Their only hope rests with the magic of the druids—the most evolved beings of all—who have summoned legendary warriors of the past to fight alongside an army that encompasses all the races. And as they confront the evil that has descended upon them, Miradel, the druid priestess who has saved her home twice before, journeys to the center of the world—to discover once and for all why the Seven Circles have been engulfed by this enduring darkness, and what can be done to end it. “Niles has again conceived a fantasy setting of great richness and scope.”—Publishers Weekly “Absolutely nobody builds a more convincing fantasy realm than Doug Niles.”—R. A. Salvatore, bestselling author of The Demon Awakens “Niles…writes so well that his characters come to life after only a few lines.”—Starlog

Download or read book The A to Z of Fantasy Literature written by Brian Stableford and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.

Download or read book Richard M Weaver 1910 1963 written by Fred Douglas Young and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young accomplishes this by using Weaver's own writings on scholarship and by discussing his most representative and significant essays and books - Ideas Have Consequences, Language Is Sermonic, and others. Young also interviews the people who were closest to Weaver: Russell Kirk; Cleanth Brooks; Clifford Amyx, an artist and intellectual; his sister Polly Weaver Beaton; and Professor Wilma R. Ebbitt, a colleague and friend during Weaver's years at the University of Chicago. Although many have associated Weaver with the Vanderbilt Agrarians and have stereotyped him as a conservative, this work makes plain that Weaver cannot be seen simply and wholly in this light. Many of the stands Weaver took, such as opposing the registration of Communists during the McCarthy era, set him apart from the conservative mainstream and made people of many different political persuasions respect his ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sizzling sequel that launches Shelta’s adventure into the Realm of the Gods. When Shelta is injured in battle, she travels to Asgard to save her unborn child. In return, the gods ask her to become the first world-weaver in ages: a dragon rider whose actions ripple through all of creation. Her mission: to shift the currents of destruction poisoning the multiverse of the World Tree. But combat training with Thor and riddles with Merlin can only go so far. Secretly, Shelta turns to Loki, a self-professed connoisseur of musicians, and trades her most vulnerable songs for a pair of enchanted blades that allow her to open portals and kill with a thought. Shelta doesn't want to be a vigilante, and she's no one's savior, but she'll do what it takes to protect her family from the schemes of the gods. This is the sequel to Falling Through the Weaving, completing the ROOTS AND STARS duology, which is part of the World Tree Chronicles.

Book excerpt: Knots are well known as symbols of moral relationships. This book develops an exciting new view of this otherwise taken-for-granted image and considers their metaphoric value in and for moral order. In chapters that focus on Japan, China, Europe, South America and in several Pacific Island societies, granular ethnography depicts how knots are deployed to express unity in daily and ritual embodiment, political authority and the cosmos, as well as in social thought. The volume will be of interest to anthropologists and other scholars concerned with metaphor and symbolism, material culture and technology.
