Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyson Compass, as one of the famed Compass quads, is not a wizard used to living with regrets. Except for one: Grace Carter. Grace is a healer witch he rejected many years ago. After completely disappearing from his life, she has returned, and turned his world upside down. The attraction between them flares strongly, but she has not forgotten or forgiven his callous rebuff when they were teens. Tyson does everything he can to prove he will never hurt her again, and just when he thinks there might be a chance for them, she has to leave again. She makes him promise not to follow her - a promise he honors for as long as he can. But after almost two months with no word, he's done waiting. He's going to find his girl. With a little help from his brothers, he tracks her down, only to find Grace betrayed by her family ... tortured ... hurt. His rage knows no bounds. He will do everything he can to bring her family to justice, to find out why they turned on her. By unlocking these secrets, though, he will discover that Grace is so much more than just a healer witch. She holds a secret that could save the world of Faerie. Or destroy it.
Download or read book The Golden Compass and Philosophy written by Richard Greene and published by Open Court. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of the His Dark Materials trilogy has generated a major motion picture, a stage play, video games, and a new prequel. The series has also been highly controversial with its use of exciting adventure stories for children to comment on organized religion. These books have piqued the interest of the contributors to this fascinating volume, who use it to probe the philosophical issues that inform them. Could a golden compass, or alethiometer, really work? Can a person's soul or daemon have a mind of its own? What are the ramifications of pursuing the diabolical "intercision" process, or of trying to bring about the death of God, a plot that Lyra and her mysterious Father struggle over? These are some of the questions explored by these essays that try to get to the heart of Lyra's bewildering, inspiring, and multifaceted world.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Prix Goncourt, an astounding novel that bridges Europe and the Islamic world On the shortlist for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his sickbed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisiting the important chapters of his life: his ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East. With exhilarating prose and sweeping erudition, Mathias Énard pulls astonishing elements from disparate sources—nineteenth-century composers and esoteric orientalists, Balzac and Agatha Christie—and binds them together in a most magical way.

These points are like an inner spiritual compass, a golden compass if you will, that help us along our way or our path in life. Compass points that tell us that no matter what direction we are headed, there is love, hope, and inspiration within our spirits to draw upon and help guide us on our difficult but inspirational paths. You see, each and every person has a precious golden compass that lies within their spirit and within their soul. It is put there by the Angels to help us to remember who we are and why we are here as so many of us have forgotten about our path we have chosen in our lives while still in spirit. There is a poignant and beautiful connection between our spirit and our soul. All our experiences in life can affect both our spirit and, therefore, our soul’s spiritual growth and this is done by the beautiful guidance points that are contained within each and every one of us. While on Earth, we must learn to cope with intolerance, displeasure, and sadness while searching for joy, love, and tolerance. Along the way we must not lose our integrity, sacrifice goodness for survival, or acquire superior or inferior attitudes to those around us. We know that living in an imperfect world will help us to appreciate the true meaning of perfection. By following our beautiful golden compass that has been placed into our souls and spirits, we can navigate our lives with exceptional clarity and infinite wisdom.

Book excerpt: Escaping from a long-since-decimated world and reality, a young woman named Lily heartbreakingly realizes the lie that has been her life. Yet as she slowly starts to understand the false reality trapping her, it begins to immediately fall apart and crumble around her. Eventually she wakes up after an indefinite amount of time hidden away from the world, and no futuristic landscape greets her upon arrival. Instead, she discovers that the real world had once again become a place of magic and that this return of magic is the product of a cataclysmic event only referred to as the Second Collapse, of which no one knows the slightest thing about, nor what caused it in the first place. In this new world, nothing makes sense as Lily finds out that myths and legends are apparently just far-off history that played out behind the scenes. There are rooms that obey her commands, a forest that tries to kill her, rebels that want her dead merely for being human, and a secret prophesy that holds the fate of the world hostage. And unbeknownst to our hero, she’s stuck in the middle of everything.
