The Study of Mulan Association, or S.O.M.A., sends two-year-old Rei to Besaid village, where his life will be filled with lies and unhappiness. He is treated as an outcast not only because of his unique powers, but because S.O.M.A. ordered everyone to shun him. Rei does not learn of his powers until the day before his eighteenth birthday, when he defeats a mulan. The next day, he waits for his assignment to a guarding post, like any other eighteen year old. Instead, Rei is not assigned a post, but is told to walk through the dangerous wilds to visit S.O.M.A., the association that appears to be the reason for everyone's survival in this brutal world. S.O.M.A. houses an underground lab, where experiments may one day lead to winning the ongoing fight with mulans. Rei meets with the two leaders of S.O.M.A., who try to make him feel at home. They tell him of an experiment they wanted to do on him so he can one day better understand his powers. But the association is lying to Rei. And piece by piece he puts the puzzle together. Rei realizes that he must one day discover his true destiny and meet the creator of the mulans.

Download or read book Autumn written by Karl Ove Knausgaard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller. "This book is full of wonders...Loose teeth, chewing gum, it all becomes noble, almost holy, under Knausgaard’s patient, admiring gaze. The world feels repainted.” —The New York Times From the author of the monumental My Struggle series, Karl Ove Knausgaard, one of the masters of contemporary literature and a genius of observation and introspection, comes the first in a new autobiographical quartet based on the four seasons. 28 August. Now, as I write this, you know nothing about anything, about what awaits you, the kind of world you will be born into. And I know nothing about you... I want to show you our world as it is now: the door, the floor, the water tap and the sink, the garden chair close to the wall beneath the kitchen window, the sun, the water, the trees. You will come to see it in your own way, you will experience things for yourself and live a life of your own, so of course it is primarily for my own sake that I am doing this: showing you the world, little one, makes my life worth living. Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter, showing her what to expect of the world. He writes one short piece per day, describing the material and natural world with the precision and mesmerising intensity that have become his trademark. He describes with acute sensitivity daily life with his wife and children in rural Sweden, drawing upon memories of his own childhood to give an inimitably tender perspective on the precious and unique bond between parent and child. The sun, wasps, jellyfish, eyes, lice--the stuff of everyday life is the fodder for his art. Nothing is too small or too vast to escape his attention. This beautifully illustrated book is a personal encyclopaedia on everything from chewing gum to the stars. Through close observation of the objects and phenomena around him, Knausgaard shows us how vast, unknowable and wondrous the world is.
