Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “And so it was,” Baz concluded, “that I abandoned my people, mounted my dragon, and came to your lands.” Not even the flame of rebellion can melt the snows of the Icy Heights in winter. So, despite their resounding victory against the forces of Erstwhile, Baz and his rebels have spent the last four months holed up in Enigma City, waiting for the reprisal that is surely on its way from the rest of Oration come spring. But just as the thaw starts, the unthinkable happens. Enigma is attacked, and one who Baz holds dear is taken. Baz pursues the kidnappers, accompanied by Rox and Eromér the Book Dragon. Their chase takes them into the Karst, the mysterious wasteland beyond the eastern limits of Oration. There, Baz meets the natives and enlists their aid. The natives’ help isn’t free, though. The Ravagers, invasive barbarians who live at the borders of their territory, have a new leader, a terrifying figure known simply as the Placid Man, and Baz must agree to dispatch this villain in return for the natives' help. Sounds easy enough. After all, Baz has survived far worse and he has a dragon on his side. But the Placid Man is no ordinary foe, and when Baz learns his true identity, everything will change… "This series is right up there with Robin Hobb’s Elderling books." -Review of The Acktus Trials on the Fantasy Faction FB Group “D.

Download or read book The Dragon in Medieval East Christian and Islamic Art written by Sara Kuehn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a pioneering work on a key iconographic motif, that of the dragon. It examines the perception of this complex, multifaceted motif within the overall intellectual and visual universe of the medieval Irano-Turkish world. Using a broadly comparative approach, the author explores the ever-shifting semantics of the dragon motif as it emerges in neighbouring Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the relationship between the pre-Islamic, Islamic and Eastern Christian (especially Armenian) world. The study is fully illustrated, with 209 (b/w and full colour) plates, many of previously unpublished material. Illustrations include photographs of architectural structures visited by the author, as well as a vast collection of artefacts, all of which are described and discussed in detail with inscription readings, historical data and textual sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the shadowed recesses of the ancient Dragon's Maw, where time seems to dance to a different rhythm, a world of forgotten lore and untapped power lay hidden. Two unlikely individuals, the scholar Alaric and the enigmatic Elara, find themselves drawn together by a symbol - a symbol that promises to unlock secrets that have slumbered for centuries, whispers of a power that could change the course of humanity. Alaric's insatiable curiosity and pursuit of knowledge have led him to the very brink of this mystery, guided by ancient texts and his relentless intellect. In contrast, Elara's connection to the symbol is etched into her very soul, shaped by a cultural heritage that holds the key to understanding its true meaning. As their paths intertwine, Alaric's excitement is tempered by Elara's silent worry, a lingering dread of a past catastrophe. Together, they embark on an odyssey filled with peril, a journey that will take them deeper into the very fabric of legend and reality, challenging everything they know and believe. Yet, what begins as a thrilling adventure soon unfolds into something far more profound. The symbol's activation triggers events that neither of them could foresee, unearthing truths that have lain dormant for ages, shaking the very foundations of their world. With each step they take, the stakes grow higher, the dangers more pronounced, and the bond between them stronger. Will they be the heralds of a new era or the catalysts of destruction? The answers lie within Dragon's Maw, waiting to be revealed. Their journey is only beginning, and destiny beckons, a symphony of prophecy, guilt, resolve, and redemption. The echoes of a bygone age are awakening, and the power they've unleashed will not be easily contained. Welcome to a tale of myth, magic, and the undeniable strength of human connection. Welcome to the world of Alaric and Elara.

Download or read book Images of Sex and Desire in Renaissance Art and Modern Historiography written by Angeliki Pollali and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on gender and sexuality have proliferated in the last decades, covering a wide spectrum of disciplines. This collection of essays offers a metanarrative of sexuality as it has been recently embedded in the art historical discourse of the European Renaissance. It revisits ‘canonical’ forms of visual culture, such as painting, sculpture and a number of emblematic manuscripts. The contributors focus on one image—either actual or thematic—and examine it against its historiographic assumptions. Through the use of interdisciplinary approaches, the essays propose to unmask the ideology(ies) of representation of sexuality and suggest a richer image of the ever-shifting identities of gender. The collection focuses on the Italian Renaissance, but also includes case studies from Germany and France.

Download or read book Abject Eroticism in Northern Renaissance Art written by Yvonne Owens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Baldung Grien, the most famous apprentice and close friend of German artist Albrecht Dürer, was known for his unique and highly eroticised images of witches. In paintings and woodcut prints, he gave powerful visual expression to late medieval tropes and stereotypes, such as the poison maiden, venomous virgin, the Fall of Man, 'death and the maiden' and other motifs and eschatological themes, which mingled abject and erotic qualities in the female body. Yvonne Owens reads these images against the humanist intellectual milieu of Renaissance Germany, showing how classical and medieval medicine and natural philosophy interpreted female anatomy as toxic, defective and dangerously beguiling. She reveals how Hans Baldung exploited this radical polarity to create moralising and titillating portrayals of how monstrous female sexuality victimised men and brought them low. Furthermore, these images issued from-and contributed to-the contemporary understanding of witchcraft as a heresy that stemmed from natural 'feminine defect,' a concept derived from Aristotle. Offering new and provocative interpretations of Hans Baldung's iconic witchcraft imagery, this book is essential reading for historians of art, culture and gender relations in the late medieval and early modern periods.

Download or read book The Suicidal God written by Ylisa Ebert and published by Fiction4All and 4Play Press. This book was released on with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two gods, the Lord of Salvation and the Prince of Dusk, have been warring with one another for ten thousand years, pitting their followers against one another in a constant struggle for dominance. Every five hundred years they are reborn into flesh forms to walk among their followers, and between rebirths communicate to their priests through the Eye. However, this rebirth, the god of the elves, humans, and dwarves is missing, while the underbeings and the Dusk Prince ready their attack. When an undercover dragon tells an unsuspecting young woman named Rynna that she is the reincarnation of the Lord, the two set off to the capital city to help save their people. However, in the absence of any memories of past lives or supernatural abilities, Rynna has only the dragon's assurances that she is who and what he claims her to be. More ominously, a strange disease has plagued Rynna since her childhood, one of continually and inexplicably trying to take her own life. Leaving behind a murdered mother, angry groups of suspicious countrymen, and all her belongings, Rynna must learn to master her own doubts and fears, all the while avoiding capture by the enemy so that she can be the leader her people need.
Download or read book Classical Antiquity and the Cinematic Imagination written by Martin M. Winkler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to enhance our appreciation of the modernity of the classical cultures and, conversely, of cinema's debt to ancient Greece and Rome. It explores filmic perspectives on the ancient verbal and visual arts and applies what is often referred to as pre-cinema and what Sergei Eisenstein called cinematism: that paintings, statues, and literature anticipate modern visual technologies. The motion of bodies depicted in static arts and the vividness of epic ecphrases point to modern features of storytelling, while Plato's Cave Allegory and Zeno's Arrow Paradox have been related to film exhibition and projection since the early days of cinema. The book additionally demonstrates the extensive influence of antiquity on an age dominated by moving-image media, as with stagings of Odysseus' arrow shot through twelve axes or depictions of the Golden Fleece. Chapters interpret numerous European and American silent and sound films and some television productions and digital videos.
