Book excerpt: David Llewellyn, a white American writer, becomes infatuated with a young black woman while vacationing on a small Caribbean island. But love is not all he finds in paradise. Llewellyn becomes enmeshed in a struggle between groups on the island battling for control of an old plantation estate that is key to their aspirations, and absorbed with the dark legend of a Victorian heiress reputed to have ritually killed young children in her search for eternal youth. Llewellyn's own ambitions and desires become blinders. Even as strange events and ghostly warnings abound, he is unable to see a plot to recreate an ancient Celtic ceremony in which his own life will be the crucial blood sacrifice. Promises on a Ring of Stone lifts the mask of polite smiles and friendly faces to expose deep-seated rifts in the society of an emerging nation in the 1970s. It is also the story of the struggle and mistrust between rich and poor, black and white, set against a backdrop of resurrected pagan rites and enduring voodoo beliefs.

Download or read book Discourse as Structure and Process written by Teun A. van Dijk and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1997 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the structures of discourse and what are the functions of these structures in the communicative context? This volume explains how and why discourse is organized at various levels. The multidisciplinary contributions illustrate that discourse analysis goes far beyond the linguistic answer of designing grammars and goes hand in hand with the study of their uses and functions in the social context. Comprehensive and accessible, the volume covers a huge variety of discourse genres, including written and spoken, and storytelling and argumentation. The chapters also illustrate the necessity to examine the mental processes of the language users: How do people go about producing, understanding and remembering text or talk? The book stresses that both discourse and its mental processing have a social basis and can only be fully understood in relation to social interaction.
