Book excerpt: For years, a great king has ruled the kingdom of Carcium in the land of Phygeria. Brave and just, this king has protected Carcium from the evils of the outside world and the evils within the kingdom itself. The mystical elves tasked with overseeing the kingdoms of Phygeria have been pleased, and they have contained the darkness beyond Carcium's boundaries. But when this brave king falls, the days of peace in Carcium fall with him. The king's young, selfish son, Prince Troy, assumes the throne, and the evil that has threatened Carcium for so long moves ever closer to the kingdom's walls. Prince Troy has failed in the eyes of the elves, and the elves place Carcium in limbo. Troy has one last chance to redeem himself and save his kingdom from the Duras Carcer, an evil sorceror who draws his life force from fallen kingdoms. Troy along with a beautiful, mysterious maiden and an outcast dragon begins a perilous quest to find a mystical sword, the only weapon that can destroy Duras Carcer and restore Carcium to its former glory. An enthralling, richly drawn fantasy, Carcium leads its readers and its heroes through treacherous encounters with snake vines, giant killer cats, gargoyles, and supernatural demons. Will Prince Troy find the courage and strength to become the leader his kingdom so desperately needs? Or will his selfishness allow darkness to consume Carcium?

Book excerpt: Whether chosen and celebrated--like going off to college or welcoming your first baby--or unexpected and anxiety-inducing--like losing a job or grappling with a broken trust--all change brings stress. Kristen Strong knows about change--especially the kind you didn't choose or expect. What she's fought hard to learn over the years is that change is not something to be feared but something to be received as a blessing from a God who, more often than not, works through change, not in spite of it. Strong has learned to see change not as a grievance but as a grace. In this hope-filled book, she shows women how when we follow God's will, we receive blessings of contentment, purpose, and renewed strength. She encourages women to see change not as the end of their story but as the scenery for this part of life's journey. And she offers practical advice for coping with change in every part of life. Anyone who has struggled to adjust to life's transitions will welcome this warm and personal perspective.

Download or read book The Party Crasher written by Sophie Kinsella and published by Dial Press Trade Paperback. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Your Life comes a humorous and heartwarming novel about family and finding a second chance at love, set against the backdrop of the most fabulous party you’ve ever snuck into. “Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover It’s been almost two years since Effie’s beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had. Since then, she’s become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: They’ve sold Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie has always called home. When Krista decides to throw a grand “house-cooling” party, Effie is originally left off the guest list—and then receives a last-minute “anti-invitation” (maybe it’s because she called Krista a gold-digger, but Krista totally deserved it, and it was mostly a joke anyway). Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house. Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating. As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren’t just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring. Watching how her sister, brother, and dad behave when they think no one is looking, Effie overhears conversations, makes discoveries, and begins to see her family in a new light. Then she runs into Joe—the love of her life, who long ago broke her heart, and who’s still as handsome and funny as ever—and even more truths emerge. But will Effie act on these revelations? Will she stay hidden or step out into the party and take her place with her family? And truthfully, what did she really come back to Greenoaks for? Over the course of one blowout party, Effie realizes that she must be honest with herself and confront her past before she’ll ever be able to face her future.
Download or read book Alexander Vvedensky An Invitation for Me to Think written by Alexander Vvedensky and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Pussy Riot are Vvedensky's disciples and his heirs. Katya, Masha, and I are in jail but I don’t consider that we’ve been defeated.... According to the official report, Alexander Vvedensky died on December 20, 1941. We don’t know the cause, whether it was dysentery in the train after his arrest or a bullet from a guard. It was somewhere on the railway line between Voronezh and Kazan. His principle of ‘bad rhythm’ is our own. He wrote: ‘It happens that two rhythms will come into your head, a good one and a bad one and I choose the bad one. It will be the right one.’ ... It is believed that the OBERIU dissidents are dead, but they live on. They are persecuted but they do not die.” — Pussy Riot [Nadezhda Tolokonnikova’s closing statement at their trial in August 2012] “I raise[d] my hand against concepts,” wrote Alexander Vvedensky, “I enacted a poetic critique of reason.” This weirdly and wonderfully philosophical poet was born in 1904, grew up in the midst of war and revolution, and reached his artistic maturity as Stalin was twisting the meaning of words in grotesque and lethal ways. Vvedensky—with Daniil Kharms the major figure in the short–lived underground avant-garde group OBERIU (a neologism for “the union for real art”)—responded with a poetry that explodes stable meaning into shimmering streams of provocation and invention. A Vvedensky poem is like a crazy party full of theater, film, magic tricks, jugglery, and feasting. Curious characters appear and disappear, euphoria keeps company with despair, outrageous assertions lead to epic shouting matches, and perhaps it all breaks off with one lonely person singing a song. A Vvedensky poem doesn’t make a statement. It is an event. Vvedensky’s poetry was unpublishable during his lifetime—he made a living as a writer for children before dying under arrest in 1942—and he remains the least known of the great twentieth-century Russian poets. This is his first book to appear in English. The translations by Eugene Ostashevsky and Matvei Yankelevich, outstanding poets in their own right, are as astonishingly alert and alive as the originals.

Reading this story of a young woman trying to find herself while surrounded by the bohemian literary scene during a summer on the Cape in the late '80s, I found myself nodding along in so many moments and dreading the last page. Karen Dukess has rendered a wonderful world to spend time in.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six A propulsive tale of ambition and romance, set in the publishing world of 1980’s New York and the timeless beaches of Cape Cod. In the summer of 1987, 25-year-old Eve Rosen is an aspiring writer languishing in a low-level assistant job, unable to shake the shadow of growing up with her brilliant brother. With her professional ambitions floundering, Eve jumps at the chance to attend an early summer gathering at the Cape Cod home of famed New Yorker writer Henry Grey and his poet wife, Tillie. Dazzled by the guests and her burgeoning crush on the hosts’ artistic son, Eve lands a new job as Henry Grey’s research assistant and an invitation to Henry and Tillie’s exclusive and famed "Book Party"— where attendees dress as literary characters. But by the night of the party, Eve discovers uncomfortable truths about her summer entanglements and understands that the literary world she so desperately wanted to be a part of is not at all what it seems. A page-turning, coming-of-age story, written with a lyrical sense of place and a profound appreciation for the sustaining power of books, Karen Dukess's The Last Book Party shows what happens when youth and experience collide and what it takes to find your own voice.

Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Paris Apartment and The Guest List, an evocative love story set along the Italian Riviera about a group of charismatic stars who all have secrets and pasts they try desperately — and dangerously — to hide. Rome, 1953: Hal, an itinerant journalist flailing in the post-war darkness, has come to the Eternal City to lose himself and to seek absolution for the thing that haunts him. One evening he finds himself on the steps of a palazzo, walking into a world of privilege and light. Here, on a rooftop above the city, he meets the mysterious Stella. Hal and Stella are from different worlds, but their connection is magnetic. Together, they escape the crowded party and imagine a different life, even if it's just for a night. Yet Stella vanishes all too quickly, and Hal is certain their paths won't cross again. But a year later they are unexpectedly thrown together, after Hal receives an invitation he cannot resist. An Italian Contessa asks him to assist on a trip of a lifetime -- acting as a reporter on a tremendous yacht, skimming its way along the Italian coast toward Cannes film festival, the most famous artists and movie stars of the day gathered to promote a new film. Of all the luminaries aboard — an Italian ingénue, an American star, a reclusive director — only one holds Hal in thrall: Stella. And while each has a past that belies the gilded surface, Stella has the most to hide. As Hal's obsession with Stella grows, he becomes determined to bring back the girl she once was, the girl who's been confined to history. An irresistibly entertaining and atmospheric novel set in some of the world's most glamorous locales, The Invitation is a sultry love story about the ways in which the secrets of the past stay with us — no matter how much we try to escape them.
Download or read book Inviting Eris to the Party written by Amy Shapiro and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you respond to unfairness? How do you play fair if the rules are rigged? The gift of dwarf planet Eris is the coping skills to creatively navigate and outwit foes on unlevel playing fields and find a cause to champion. This guide covers Eris' journey in the 12 houses and aspects with other planets; conjunction, semi-sextile, sextile, square, trine, quincunx and opposition. The author gives a fun memory-tool, the "A-B-C's of Eris" to help you know the ways Eris impacts the chart. Examples of 300+ famous people with Eris aspects brings the interpretations alive. Amy Shapiro was the first to call Eris a 'Provocateur' (in Forces At Work: Astrology And Career), based on Eris' legendary golden apple exposing over-sized egos. Her job is to awaken our higher impulses. This book extends a long-awaited invitation to Eris -- to join the astrological party as the guest of honor! Reviewers' Comments: "Amy Shapiro has 'done it again' in providing us with a far more useful interpretation of planet Eris than the 'goddess of discord' label originally received from her discoverers. As Provocateur, Eris has a huge variety of ways her placements by sign, house and aspect can be interpreted. Invite Eris to your party and open yourself to be provoked to new and interesting perspectives!" Maria Kay Simms, author: Moon Tides, Soul Passages; Dial Detective; Your Magical Child and Astrology and the Power of Eight "As Oscar Wilde once said, 'The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.' For years astrologers have not been talking about Eris. Inviting Eris To The Party is a fine book that adds a lot to the discussion of Eris and should get tongues wagging. It may get astrologers thinking about Eris the way they have been thinking about Chiron all these years." Tom Canfield, author: Yankee Doodle Discord: A Walk with Planet Eris Through USA History, and Eris In Signs, Houses, Aspects
