Download or read book Confessions of a Mask written by Yukio Mishima and published by ببلومانيا للنشر والتوزيع. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Mask tells the story of Kochan, an adolescent boy tormented by his burgeoning attraction to men: he wants to be “normal.” Kochan is meek-bodied, and unable to participate in the more athletic activities of his classmates. He begins to notice his growing attraction to some of the boys in his class, particularly the pubescent body of his friend Omi. To hide his homosexuality, he courts a woman, Sonoko, but this exacerbates his feelings for men. As news of the War reaches Tokyo, Kochan considers the fate of Japan and his place within its deeply rooted propriety. Confessions of a Mask reflects Mishima’s own coming of age in post-war Japan. Its publication in English―praised by Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, and Christopher Isherwood―propelled the young Yukio Mishima to international fame.

Caught in a knot of lies, torn between her heritage and her aristocratic masquerade, she relies on her gift for reading pattern to survive. And it shows her the web of corruption that traps her city. But all three have yet to discover just how far that web stretches. And in the end, it will take more than knives to cut themselves free...

Lena is on the run from her home, the Duke's Forest, after being convicted as a mage and sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Constance escaped the Forest years before, after her own magical powers were discovered--but now, she will do anything to get back inside and reclaim her place as the duke's daughter. The girls cross paths for only a moment, but that's long enough to set them down paths that will change the dukedom forever. As Lena reaches a safe haven where she can study and develop her powers alongside handsome but mysterious mage Emris, Constance maneuvers her way back into the home she left behind, unsure whether she trust the people she once considered her family and friends. All the while, the girls are connected by the dark, terrifying storm clouds that hang over the land and devastate everything in their wakes. Only Lena and Constance hold the keys to dispelling the storm and keeping their home safe--if they can uncover who cast the spell that generated the clouds to begin with. But the truth is far more sinister than anyone could imagine, and it could mean that one of the girls will lose everything.
Download or read book God s Frying Pan written by B.A. May and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Frying Pan follows one woman's journey back to God, along with defining her ideas of how he truly uses us in our own lives to learn his lessons. After being married to her "person" for nearly twenty years and having a beautiful son, Gemma believed her life was complete. All she and Scott had to do was continue to love and grow with each other through the rest of their lives. Moving to a new town for a promotion seemed like a great new chapter in their lives. However, things don't always turn out the way we expect. Embarking on the hardest season of her life so far, Gemma calls into question her long held beliefs about love, commitment, and marriage, while searching for meaning and rekindling her relationship with God. She keeps returning to the idea that God uses us as frying pans, giving us situations to help us learn to "cook," and it's up to us to learn how to "cook" them to perfection. Do they need to be flash fried (quick action)? Or is a slow simmer a better option (let things unfold naturally)? A rapid boil perhaps (constant attention)? Sometimes things are going to get burnt, other times remain undercooked, and that's okay. It's how we learn, if we are paying attention. Along the way, she experiences some powerful personal moments as she learns how to "cook" the various situations in her life to perfection.
