Book excerpt: Book 5 in the global bestselling series, "The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra" The victories of Saturnine and the sacrifices of the Eternity Wall space port have faded into the hope of yesterday. Denied but not defeated, the traitors intensify their assault on the Imperial Palace. With the principal space ports in Horus’ hands, the Warmaster now drains the heavens of his reserves. As the pressure of the assault increases, the power of Chaos waxes. The waking lives of the defenders are filled with despair, while their dreams pull them in search of a false paradise. As the fabric of the defences fails and the will of those who stand on them cracks, Horus commands the Titans of the Legio Mortis to breach the walls. Against them stands the might of Mercury Wall and the strength of the Legio Ignatum. Ancient rivals, the god-engines of both Legions meet in battle, while within the walls a few desperate individuals seek a way to turn back the tide of the warp’s malign influence. Across Terra lost warriors and travellers make their way through wastelands and gardens of horror, towards home and an unknown future.

Download or read book Dominus Mortis written by David J. Luy and published by Augsburg Books. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern interpreters typically attach revolutionary significance to Luther’s Christology on account of its unprecedented endorsement of God’s ontological vulnerability. This passibilist reading of Luther’s theology has sourced a long channel of speculative theology and philosophy, from Hegel to Moltmann, which regards Luther as an ally against antique, philosophical assumptions, which are supposed to occlude the genuine immanence of God to history and experience. David J. Luy challenges this history of reception and rejects the interpretation of Luther’s Christology upon which it is founded. Dominus Mortis creates the conditions necessary for an alternative appropriation of Luther’s Christological legacy. By re-specifying certain key aspects of Luther’s Christological commitments, Luy provides a careful reassessment of how Luther’s theology can make a contribution within ongoing attempts to adequately conceptualize divine immanence. Luther is demonstrated as a theologian who creatively appropriates the patristic and medieval theological tradition and whose constructive enterprise is significant for the ways that it disrupts widely held assumptions about the doctrine of divine impassibility, the transcendence of God, dogmatic development, and the relationship of God to suffering.
Download or read book Vigor Mortis written by Kate Berridge and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vigor Mortis lobs a grenade at the idea that death is taboo. It reveals the new approach to death with a lively and provocative analysis of how and why death is reverting from the private to public domain. This is a social change as significant as the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Death is out of the closet. Mourners (and the deceased if they buy a 'pre-plan service'), now have an unprecedented range of coffins and funeral styles to choose from. This extraordinary cultural phenomenon has gone largely unremarked, despite the fact that death is now such a prominent theme in advertising and contemporary art; death sells. ’To a journalist’s instinct for gathering facts, Ms.Berridge adds a scholarship that gives them meaning and a writer’s ear for what rings true. On matters mortuarial, last things, the way we live and die and grieve and carry on, Vigor Mortis is the business’ - Thomas Lynch

Download or read book Imago Mortis written by Ashby Kinch and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Imago Mortis: Mediating Images of Death in Late Medieval Culture, Ashby Kinch argues for the affirmative quality of late medieval death art and literature, providing a new, interdisciplinary approach to a well-known body of material. He demonstrates the surprising and effective ways that late medieval artists appropriated images of death and dying as a means to affirm their artistic, social, and political identities. The book dedicates each of its three sections to a pairing of a visual convention (deathbed scenes, the Three Living and Three Dead, and the Dance of Death) and a Middle English literary text (Hoccleve’s Lerne for to die, Audelay’s Three Dead Kings, and Lydgate’s Dance of Death).

The outpost Gamoran, run by dwarfs whose duty it is to guard the border and keep the leprechauns within, is under threat. Leprechauns are disappearing, and the community reaches out to Mortis for help. As they prepare to infiltrate the sector, they are joined by two unlikely travelling companions; a dwarf named Lynx with a bionic arm, and a dire Wolf named Da Vinci, who has eyes for Synclair. When they find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy, taking on demon hunters in all out conflict. Can Mortis and Synclair succeed in their mission? And more importantly, can they survive?

Download or read book In Hora Mortis Under the Iron of the Moon written by Thomas Bernhard and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haunting and darkly humorous poems by the internationally acclaimed Austrian novelist, playwright, and memoirist Thomas Bernhard (1931–1989) has been compared to Kafka and Beckett, and critics have ranked his novels among the masterpieces of the twentieth century. But in fact he began his career in the 1950s as a poet, publishing three books of well-received verse before turning to fiction. In Hora Mortis / Under the Iron of the Moon is the first book of his expressionist-like poetry to be published in English. Bringing together Bernhard's second and third books of poetry, the collection's short, untitled lyrics reveal his early explorations of themes that would continue to preoccupy him in his novels, plays, and other writings—especially his intense ambivalence toward the land and people of Austria and their then-recent Nazi past. As the translator James Reidel writes in his preface, "Bernhard found Austrian soil . . . to be like a hair shirt and a blanket. It is a killing ground but with a postcard setting." In poems that both subvert and pay homage to such influences as Georg Trakl, Bernhard begins to develop his characteristic dark humor while exploring themes of nature, death, meaninglessness, and faith.
