Book excerpt: Thoughtless Judyala doesn't think before she acts. She transformed into her brother by using a spell, and now has taken his place in a gory war against flesh eating creatures. She didn't think becoming her brother meant hiding her female desires-becoming him meant hiding her truth, for if her secret is spilled, it is her own people who'll end her life. Desire, need, and impulsion will strike her. And when she meets two sorcerers, an instructor and a warrior, she'll find herself chained to a reality she can't confront. Judyala will have no choice but to accept life as it is. She'll forget love, and will learn to kill without remorse, but all is wrong, and she will learn a truth that will crumble her entire reality, a truth that will make her realize she's fighting on the wrong side of the line...

Download or read book The Kokinsh written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled in the early tenth century, the Kokinshū is an anthology of some eleven hundred poems that aimed to elevate the prestige of vernacular Japanese poetry at the imperial court. From shortly after its completion to the end of the nineteenth century, it was celebrated as the cornerstone of the Japanese vernacular poetic tradition. The composition of classical poetry, other later poetic forms such as linked verse and haikai, and vernacular Japanese literary writing in its entirety (including classic works such as Murasaki Shikibu’s Tale of Genji and Sei Shōnagon’s Pillow Book) all draw from the Kokinshū. This book offers an inviting and immersive selection of roughly one-third of the anthology in English translation. Torquil Duthie focuses on rendering the poetic language of the Kokinshū as a whole, in such a way that readers can understand and experience how its poems work together to create a literary world. He emphasizes that classical Japanese poems do not stand alone as self-contained artifacts but take part in an ongoing intertextual conversation. Duthie provides translations and interpretations of the two prefaces to the Kokinshū, which deeply influenced Japanese literary aesthetics. The book also includes critical essays on various aspects of the anthology and its history. This translation helps specialist and nonspecialist readers alike appreciate the beauty and richness of the Kokinshū, as well as its significance for the Japanese literary tradition.

Download or read book Developmental Fairy Tales written by Andrew F. Jones and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992 Deng Xiaoping famously declared, “Development is the only hard imperative.” What ensued was the transformation of China from a socialist state to a capitalist market economy. The spirit of development has since become the prevailing creed of the People’s Republic, helping to bring about unprecedented modern prosperity, but also creating new forms of poverty, staggering social upheaval, physical dislocation, and environmental destruction. In Developmental Fairy Tales, Andrew F. Jones asserts that the groundwork for this recent transformation was laid in the late nineteenth century, with the translation of the evolutionary works of Lamarck, Darwin, and Spencer into Chinese letters. He traces the ways that the evolutionary narrative itself evolved into a form of vernacular knowledge which dissolved the boundaries between beast and man and reframed childhood development as a recapitulation of civilizational ascent, through which a beleaguered China might struggle for existence and claim a place in the modern world-system. This narrative left an indelible imprint on China’s literature and popular media, from children’s primers to print culture, from fairy tales to filmmaking. Jones’s analysis offers an innovative and interdisciplinary angle of vision on China’s cultural evolution. He focuses especially on China’s foremost modern writer and public intellectual, Lu Xun, in whose work the fierce contradictions of his generation’s developmentalist aspirations became the stuff of pedagogical parable. Developmental Fairy Tales revises our understanding of literature’s role in the making of modern China by revising our understanding of developmentalism’s role in modern Chinese literature.

Download or read book Forward in the Fog written by Lori D. Fischer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lori’s musician son Joe first mentioned numbness in two of his fingers, she didn’t think much of it. But as days passed and he was hit with a crippling migraine and relentless nausea, her concern deepened. Then came a doctor’s devastating diagnosis: “Brain cancer . . . aggressive . . . inoperable . . . twelve-to-fifteen months.” Join Lori on an emotional journey through love, hope, despair, and finally open-handed surrender to the wisdom and goodness of God. Joe was strong, healthy, and athletic—a black belt in the mixed martial art Kajukenbo. He was a talented singer-songwriter with an album and several singles. He quietly loved and served those living on the streets, often stopping to chat with them and buy them lunch or a pair of shoes, sometimes literally giving the jacket off his back. Honest and vulnerable regarding her own dark emotions during a season of suffering and uncertainty, her sense of God’s absence, and her desperation to withdraw from society, Lori finds that even for a solitude-loving introvert, nurturing our most important relationships is infinitely rewarding, and that God is steadfast in his love and mercy regardless of our feelings about him.

Download or read book Corpus Stylistics in Heart of Darkness and its Italian Translations written by Lorenzo Mastropierro and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interaction between corpus stylistics and translation studies. It shows how corpus methods can be used to compare literary texts to their translations, through the analysis of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and four of its Italian translations. The comparison focuses on stylistic features related to the major themes of Heart of Darkness. By combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, Mastropierro discusses how alterations to the original's stylistic features can affect the interpretation of the themes in translation. The discussion illuminates the manipulative effects that translating can have on the reception of a text, showing how textual alterations can trigger different readings. This book advances the multidisciplinary dialogue between corpus linguistics and translation studies and is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the application of corpus approaches to stylistics and translation.
