Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seth Dickinson's epic fantasy series which began with the “literally breathtaking” (NPR) The Traitor Baru Cormorant, returns with the third book, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant. The hunt is over. After fifteen years of lies and sacrifice, Baru Cormorant has the power to destroy the Imperial Republic of Falcrest that she pretends to serve. The secret society called the Cancrioth is real, and Baru is among them. But the Cancrioth's weapon cannot distinguish the guilty from the innocent. If it escapes quarantine, the ancient hemorrhagic plague called the Kettling will kill hundreds of millions...not just in Falcrest, but all across the world. History will end in a black bloodstain. Is that justice? Is this really what Tain Hu hoped for when she sacrificed herself? Baru's enemies close in from all sides. Baru's own mind teeters on the edge of madness or shattering revelation. Now she must choose between genocidal revenge and a far more difficult path—a conspiracy of judges, kings, spies and immortals, puppeteering the world's riches and two great wars in a gambit for the ultimate prize. If Baru had absolute power over the Imperial Republic, she could force Falcrest to abandon its colonies and make right its crimes.

Download or read book Hearts of Darkness written by Jane Marcus and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marcus (English, CUNY-Graduate Center and City College of New York) explores race, gender, and reading in Europe during the 1920s and 30s--a period coinciding with the end of empire and the rise of fascism. The author analyzes the work of such novelists as Virginia Woolf, Nancy Cunard, Mulk Raj Anand, and Djuna Barnes, and their treatment of cultural issues of their time--particularly imperialism and totalitarianism--in an effort to "relocate the heart of darkness in London and Paris, away from those light-filled lands of Africa and India where it has lodged in the Western imagination."

Book excerpt: Impossible Bodies investigates issues of ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in contemporary Hollywood.

Exploring a range of genres and considering both stars and their sidekicks, Holmlund examines ways in which Hollywood accommodates - or doesn't - a variety of 'impossible' bodies, from the 'outrageous' physiques of Dolph Lundgren and Dolly Parton, to the almost-invisible bodies of Asian-Americans, Latinas and older actors.
