Her life's curse touched the lives of her loved ones, like her great-granddaughter Tracy, in the form of a possessed doll and her evil crystal eye.

Download or read book Resisting the Place of Belonging written by Daniel Boscaljon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People often overlook the uncanny nature of homecomings, writing off the experience of finding oneself at home in a strange place or realizing that places from our past have grown strange. This book challenges our assumptions about the value of home, arguing for the ethical value of our feeling displaced and homeless in the 21st century. Home is explored in places ranging from digital keyboards to literary texts, and investigates how we mediate our homecomings aesthetically through cultural artifacts (art, movies, television shows) and conceptual structures (philosophy, theology, ethics, narratives). In questioning the place of home in human lives and the struggles involved with defining, defending, naming and returning to homes, the volume collects and extends ideas about home and homecomings that will inform traditional problems in novel ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his comprehensive study of love in James Joyce's writings, DeVault shows that Joyce frequently ties his characters' personal and political pursuits to their ability to affirm both their loved ones and their fellow Dubliners.

Download or read book Exiles in the Garden written by Ward Just and published by HMH. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “fascinatingly readable” novel that ponders “where the personal becomes the political or if it is possible to maintain a distinction at all” (Miami Herald). In his fifty-four years in the US Senate, Kim Malone made a difference. Emulating FDR, he advocated and agitated, fighting for the ideals in which he believed. His son, Alec, however, was a different story—one Kim thinks on as he lies on his deathbed, with only the prodigal Alec for company. Eschewing his congressional heritage for a career as a newspaper photographer and distancing himself even further from politics by refusing to cover the Vietnam War, Alec has seemed to live a never-ending series of misadventures, complete with a failed marriage and a floundering vocation. So when his long-absent father-in-law, an antifascist commando from Czechoslovakia, appears on his doorstep, Alec finds himself confronting uncomfortable truths about his life, his choices, and the pasts of those surrounding him. Ward Just has been praised as “one of the most astute writers of American fiction,” and Exiles in the Garden stands as one of his most challenging, insightful, and compulsively readable works—an examination of personal morality, American politics, and the universal desires that bind us all (The New York Times Book Review).

Download or read book Italian Gothic Horror Films 1970 1979 written by Roberto Curti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian Gothic horror films of the 1970s were influenced by the violent giallo movies and adults-only comics of the era, resulting in a graphic approach to the genre. Stories often featured over-the-top violence and nudity and pushed the limits of what could be shown on the screen. The decade marked the return of specialist directors like Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda and Antonio Margheriti, and the emergence of new talents such as Pupi Avati (The House with the Laughing Windows) and Francesco Barilli (The Perfume of the Lady in Black). The author examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, providing previously unpublished details and production data taken from official papers, original scripts and interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors. Entries include complete cast and crew lists, plot summaries, production history and analysis. An appendix covers Italian made-for-TV films and mini-series.

When the clouds parted, so did she and Jacob Grimm, certain they're only an erotic chapter in their vastly different lives. Weeks later, she finds him at her father's conference table, a real-life reminder of why risks aren't worth the reward. Jacob should forget Greta. She'll never see him as anything more than a temporary indulgence who doesn't belong in her affluent world. And her family has the power—and desire—to destroy the life he's struggled to build. Greta agrees—he doesn't fit in, and for them to try for more is a mistake. He'll cause upheaval and chaos in her orderly life. But for someone so wrong, he shouldn't feel so right. As tempers flare and passions deepen, will Greta and Jacob toss aside the worn-out concept of fairy tale love and find their happily-ever-after? Fairy Tale Lies is the first book in the stand-alone steamy Opposites Attract contemporary romance series. If you like vulnerable, real characters who'll make you laugh, lust, and fall in love, you'll adore DK Marie's work-place romance.
