Book excerpt: The spellbinding story behind the lyrics to “Non-Stop” from Broadway’s Hamilton, “the first murder trial of our brand-new nation” comes to life in this debut novel set in post-Revolution New York City, where a conspiracy involving Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr erupts in shattering violence. It’s the summer of 1799, and Manhattan is a teeming cesspool of stagnant swamps and polluted rivers. The city is desperate for clean water as fires wreak devastation and the death toll from yellow fever surges. Political tensions are rising, too. It’s an election year, and Alexander Hamilton is hungry for power. So is his rival, Aaron Burr, who has announced the formation of the Manhattan Water Company. But their private struggle becomes very public when the body of Elma Sands is found at the bottom of a city well built by Burr’s company. Resolved to see justice done, Elma’s cousin, Catherine Ring, becomes both witness and avenger. She soon finds, however, that the shocking truth behind this trial has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. Praise for City of Liars and Thieves “Gracefully written with exquisitely drawn, convincing characters, this is one of those rare historical novels that hit not one false note. City of Liars and Thieves offers a compelling tale of romance and intrigue, set in a fascinating era of Manhattan’s tumultuous past.”—Leslie Wells, bestselling author of Come Dancing “A tense, revelatory tale of a case lost to time, City of Liars and Thieves lifts the veil of a great city’s dark and intricate past and brings it to life for a new generation.”—Rebecca Coleman, author of The Kingdom of Childhood “City of Liars and Thieves is both a historical murder mystery and the tragic story of a vulnerable woman snared in the ambition of New York’s most powerful men. Eve Karlin captivates at every step with a nuanced narrator, right-here-and-now details, and steadily mounting dread. But it’s the twist ending that leaves us gasping, like the narrator, with the vertigo of disillusionment and a craving for justice.”—Maia Chance, author of Snow White Red-Handed “In this absorbing tale of lust, greed, and scandal set in postcolonial New York City, Eve Karlin is as adept at conjuring the yellow-fever-ridden streets of eighteenth-century Manhattan as she is at creating characters whose motives and yearnings feel timeless. I couldn’t tear myself away.”—Suzanne Chazin, author of Land of Careful Shadows “Both suspenseful and emotional . . . Karlin does a great job weaving together her fictional accounts with actual historical ones.”—No More Grumpy Bookseller “Precisely my sort of mystery: full of history and great writing . . . definitely not to be missed!”—Bibliophilia, Please “A well-researched, minutely plotted piece of work that will appeal to lovers of historical crime set in the New World.”—Crime Fiction Lover

Book excerpt: In this extraordinary novel, Karen Maitland delivers a dazzling reinterpretation of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales—an ingenious alchemy of history, mystery, and powerful human drama. The year is 1348. The Black Plague grips the country. In a world ruled by faith and fear, nine desperate strangers, brought together by chance, attempt to outrun the certain death that is running inexorably toward them. Each member of this motley company has a story to tell. From Camelot, the relic-seller who will become the group’s leader, to Cygnus, the one-armed storyteller . . . from the strange, silent child called Narigorm to a painter and his pregnant wife, each has a secret. None is what they seem. And one among them conceals the darkest secret of all—propelling these liars to a destiny they never saw coming. Magical, heart-quickening, and raw, Company of Liars is a work of vaulting imagination from a powerful new voice in historical fiction. Praise for Company of Liars “[Maitland] brings to life a medieval England of muddy streets and half-naked children fighting each other for pieces of dog dung to sell to the tanners, as sheep-stealers swing purple-faced from the gallows. . . . She neatly catches the spirit of primitive superstition that governed every aspect of 14th century life and then rolls on with it for her own story-telling ends. . . . Company of Liars is a richly evocative page-turner which brings to life a lost and terrible period of British history, with a disturbing final twist worthy of a master of the spine-tingler, such as Henry James.”—Daily Express (UK) “Transports readers back to the days of the Black Death . . . Paying homage to The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales, this is a gripping read. . . . As a reader you are taken as close to the plague as you would ever wish to go.”—Bookseller

Download or read book RESURRECTION BIRD written by Muammer GÖKALP and published by Muammer GÖKALP. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PER WORD Ancestors said, “Beginning is half done.” he said. We started writing this book in 2017. It took four years to complete the other half. Because the process being explained was difficult. Of course, it would not be easy to turn it into a book. Peyami Safa, “Easy life is short.” he said. It doesn't matter if it's late or difficult, as long as it lasts a long time. The people of Kuşulu had experienced and realized a first in the history of Turkish and world democracy. The fight was tough but ended in victory. The value of a victory is directly proportional to its difficulty. It was a difficult and necessary task to write down this victory so that it would survive for many more years. Challenging tasks are actually good. Hazrat Mevlana said, “You say it is difficult. "It will be difficult so that it will be a test." he said. It was a test. It all happened together. What a beautiful sight, the owner of thousands of efforts In fact, with this victory, the Nulls won not only a municipality, but many victories. It was a struggle in which everyone who did not want Kuşu to become a village was happy, proud, emotional, and sometimes shed tears of sadness and sometimes of joy. Ask the municipality back They were right to do so and they got their rights. Nowadays, every home has a television. People spend an average of three hours a day in front of television. Most of this time is devoted to TV series. In our country, nearly a hundred new TV series start broadcasting at the beginning of each season. TV series and their effects on people are a subject that requires separate research, discussion and precautions. At the beginning of each episode in TV series, it is stated that “All characters and events in this series have nothing to do with real people or institutions. It is completely imaginary. "No living creatures were harmed during the filming of the series." is written. In this book, written to explain the victory of the Kuşulu people and to pass it on to the future; All characters and events have to do with real people and institutions. It was completely experienced and all the events described are real. No living being was harmed during the struggle described in the book. Not a single element of crime took place and no criminal case occurred. This book was written to fully and accurately describe the struggle for the return of the legal personality of Kuşu town, which took place after the town of Kuşu in Simav district of Kütahya province was transformed into a village, and to carry it to the future. It was carried out democratically, politically and legally by the "Kuşu No Village Platform" founded by Kuşulu people and lasted for four years. This book was written to explain the efforts and victory of the people of Kuşulu for their municipality; From the posts, news and statements of the source people on the social media pages of Kuşu Köy Olmasın Platform mu, which are still accessible on the internet. 6 | DIRISH BIRD No Bird Village Platformin Compiled from. What does it say, the Ottoman Sharia law that was in force before the Civil Code in Mecelle: “For example "There is no precedent." For this reason, the bad examples experienced in the process were not mentioned. There is always a risk of losing data such as information, documents, photos and videos in the internet environment, called the virtual world. We also tried to deliver our book to readers in the form of electronic books or e-books in the increasingly digital environment today. We recorded what happened during the struggle of the Kuşulu people and aimed to increase the narrative with some videos published on the internet. we did. To do this, all you need to do is download a QR code reading program to your smartphone or tablet. If you have the app or after downloading it, point the camera of your phone or tablet towards the code. The QR code will automatically recognize the QR code. The link that appears will direct you to the relevant video. This struggle, which is the joint effort of the people of Kuşulu, "is a trust that contains official data that must be carried into the future." Since no work has been done to carry this trust into the future so far, some official correspondence and petitions can be given as attachments at the end of the page, but it is preferred to be presented to the reader in places where the events are explained. It was not easy for the people of Kuşulu to start, continue and successfully complete this struggle by prioritizing unity and solidarity. Therefore, it was not easy to turn it into a book. Even though it took four years, thankfully we were finally able to complete and publish it. There are many hidden heroes who contributed to this struggle, which was initiated and carried out by the No Village Platform and resulted in victory. Some with their hands, some with their tongue, some with their material possessions, some with their spirituality, some with their knowledge, some with their interest, some with their With their hopes, some with their efforts, some with their hearts, some with their hearts, some with their intentions, some with their prayers, some with their dreams, they took sides in favor of Kuşu not being a village. Those who contributed and supported, sometimes from far away, sometimes from very close, sometimes from the realm of secrets, for the writing, completion and publication of this book; A prayer that has been prayed for, a prayer that has been answered, a secret that cannot be revealed and a secret source of inspiration, and thanks to the heroes, may they exist, I am glad they exist. The people of Kuşulu have a message to all humanity about seeking their rights by being right. Muammer GÖKALP | 7 His exemplary struggle is described in chapters in our book. This method was preferred to explain the struggle completely and as a whole. Dozens of meetings held by Kuşulu people for four years without deviating from the line of courtesy, Considering that the meeting, application, contact and request are just a part and explaining only a part of it would be an extremely incomplete and erroneous explanation and would also be considered a betrayal of the trust that will be transferred to the future. I think it would be the most accurate evaluation to evaluate the purpose of this book, which we are trying to explain, from this perspective. The definition and purpose of the Kuşu Köy Olmasın Platform, which carries out and coordinates this struggle in which the people of Kuşulu wrote the epic of democracy, could not be fully and accurately understood by many people for a long time. That's why, in the beginning, everyone defined the platform in very different ways and assigned different missions. The Kusu No Village Platform has repeatedly presented its definition and purpose to the public on its own page. Actually! What was the topic? Don't let it be a village. Actually! What was the Purpose? Don't let it be a village. Actually! What was Ümit? Don't let it be a village. The people of Kuşulu had a common problem. They searched for a cure for this problem with the Bird No Village Platform they founded. Actually! When was the platform founded? It was founded at a time when almost everyone said "there is no cure for this problem". Actually! When was the platform founded? “Now it has become law, we are a village. “There is nothing that can be done.” It was established when it was said. At a time when hopes were almost gone, Kuşu Köy Olmasın Platform was established to seek a cure for this "cureless affliction". It is important to look for a cure for the problem. However, understanding and explaining the point of view and the problem correctly is the most important thing on the way to the cure. 8 | DIRISH BIRD No Bird Village Platformin It is one of the elements. Throughout the struggle, it was observed that the most important problem was in the concepts of "correct self-expression and correct understanding". Although the "Kusu No Village Platform" repeatedly presented its purpose to the public verbally and in writing, unfortunately it was not fully and correctly understood for a considerable period of time. Everyone has defined, labeled, described and tried to explain the struggle in their own way. Even a calf was searched under the ox, so to speak. For this reason, the struggle that took place for a while was not only not understood correctly, but was also misunderstood and interpreted. When understood correctly, victory has already been achieved. This struggle is not a rebellion. The struggle of the people of Kuşulu is not a political or ideological movement. This struggle is not a resistance. The struggle of the people of Kuşulu is not mere stubbornness. Maybe it can be defined as civil disobedience. Kuşulu people have written their names in history in golden letters and have carried out their struggle with a conscious strategy. They have set a good example of the concepts of taking intention, unity-togetherness, being hopeful, patience and working with prayer. There are exemplary and educational aspects in the struggle of the Kuşulu people. That's why we attach great importance to conveying the struggle of the Kuşulu people to our children and young people, who are the guarantee of our future, through this book, and we are happy about it. We also hope that this book will raise awareness about concepts such as “good citizen”, “conscious citizen” and “the power of information”. Our Prophet said, "He who remains silent in the face of injustice is a mute devil." With the hadith of Hz. Ali (r.a) said, "Do not bow down to injustice, because you will lose your honor along with your rights." The phrase describes the attitude that an honorable person should adopt. Hadiths and the ways they show are important and valuable as they shed light on all of us. We cannot know how many people read these hadiths and question themselves. What we know is that people who are subjected to injustice seek their rights and do not remain silent in the face of injustice. However, justice must be sought by being right. You should not be put in an unfair position when you say you are seeking justice. Rights must be sought by expressing oneself correctly, taking into account many values ​​such as state laws, social rules, customs, traditions and customs. There is not a single element of crime in the struggle of Kuşulu people between 2013 and 2017. Destroy by staying right, without burning Muammer GÖKALP | 9 They sought and obtained their rights without breaking, breaking, spilling, harming any person or institution, or causing any legal case. We hope that this struggle, which we consider to be a very good example for all humanity, will guide our children and young people in their struggle for life throughout their lives. The struggle of the Kuşulu people, carried out by the No Villages Platform, is a struggle for unity and solidarity as well as a struggle for the return or non-return of the municipality. It is a struggle between individual interests and the common good. In the public interest It is a struggle of individual interests. It is the struggle between hope and despair. It is the struggle between common sense and discord and corruption. It is the struggle between patience and impatience. It is the struggle between good words and wishes and bad and evil words. It is the struggle between good prayer and curse. It is the struggle between working hard and being idle. Beat the past It is a struggle to be hopeful about the future, despite the pain and cursing. It is the struggle between loyalty and disloyalty. This book is also a testament that our children and young people are bequeathed to be united for well-being, to struggle patiently, to be hopeful, to strive without giving up, and to act with blessings instead of curses. Two hundred and fifty, three hundred years before the emergence of the concept of state in the western world, Sheikh Edebalı said to Osman Gazi, "O son, let the people live so that the state can live!" The advice he gave became the perspective and style he adopted when explaining his problems to the state officials, including the legislature, executive and judiciary, throughout the struggle of the Kuşulu people. The period described in this book is the most critical and depressive period in the history of Kusu. I hope that the events that took place between 2012 and 2017 will not happen again and that the victory of the Kuşulu people will be turned into a movie through this book and shared with more people. 10 | DIRISH BIRD No Bird Village Platformin I respectfully greet my dear readers and wish them a good reading. I wish God's mercy to all those who passed away, who chanted the slogan "Kuşu Should Not Be a Village" and who worked hard to regain the municipality of Kuşu and passed away to the afterlife. “For the Oghuzs, no matter which direction they go, the victory they will achieve is Red Apple before it is achieved!” For the people of Kuşulu, the town is "KIZILELMA". With greetings, love, respect, prayers and everlasting conversations... Muammer GÖKALP

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of material culture demonstrates that objects make people just as much as people make, exchange and consume objects. But what if these objects are, in the eyes of others, only fakes? What kind of material mirror are people looking into? Are their real selves really reflected in this mirror? This book provides an original and revealing study into engagements with objects that are not what they are claimed and presumed to be and, subsequently, are believed to betray their makers as well as users. Drawing upon an ethnography of fake branded garments in Turkey and Romania, Material Culture and Authenticity shows how people can make authentic positions for themselves in and through fake objects.The book will be of interest to students and scholars working in the fields of anthropology, material culture and cultural studies as well as to general readers interested in ethnographic alternatives to biographies of famous fakers and fakes.
