Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early modern period, England radically expanded its participation in an economy that itself was becoming increasingly global. Yet less than twenty years after the highly profitable English East India Company made its first voyage, England was suffering from an economic depression, blamed largely on the shortage of coin necessary to exploit those very same profitable routes. How could there be profit in the face of so much loss, and loss in the face of so much profit? In Tragicomic Redemptions, Valerie Forman contends that three seemingly unrelated domains—the development of new economic theories and practices, especially those related to global trade; the discourses of Christian redemption; and the rise of tragicomedy as the stage's most popular genre—were together crucial to the formulation of a new and paradoxical way of thinking about loss and profit in relationship to one another. Forman reads plays—including Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice, Pericles, and The Winter's Tale, Fletcher's The Island Princess, Massinger's The Renegado, and Webster's The Devil's Law-Case—alongside a range of historical materials that provide a fuller picture of England's participation in a global economy: the writings of the country's earliest economic theorists, narrative accounts of merchants and captives in the Spice Islands and the Ottoman Empire, and documents that detail the development of the English East India Company, the Levant Company, and even the very idea of the joint-stock company. Unique in its dual focus on literary form and economic practices, Tragicomic Redemptions both shows how concepts fundamental to capitalism's existence, such as "free trade," and "investment," develop within a global context and reveals the exceptional place of dramatic form as a participant in the newly emerging, public discourse of economic theory.

Book excerpt: A forbidden love and a chilling mystery tease the senses in this sensuous historical romance from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A Love to Remember. Bookish and independent Lady Helen Hawkestone is expected to marry well. But, having grown up with warring parents, the institution holds little appeal. The trick, she realizes, is to marry for love—a task that’s easier said than done. Only while Helen is raising funds for her do-gooder sister’s orphanage does she meet a man who arouses her curiosity. Lowborn and yet so dignified that Helen can’t help but try to elicit a response, Clary Homeward is an enigma—a heart-stopping, body-stirring, forget-her-social-upbringing enigma. A single offense against a noblewoman such as Lady Helen would ruin a man like Clary. Her sister, Marisa, rescued him from hellish poverty and employs him with her charity work. Try as he might to push her away, Helen tempts him to want things he could never have. But when girls from the orphanage start disappearing, destined for a grim fate Clary knows all too well, Helen insists on helping. And soon Clary wonders whether something more were not just possible but inevitable—even right.

Download or read book Screaming Whispers written by Kelvin Brown and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is it within ourselves that we find honesty and truth? A place where the playing field is leveled from disingenuous facades of truth and loyalty. The place where we lay naked, bare who we truly are as individuals. it is our emotions, those mixtures of complex feelings that are difficult to grasp and contain when we are truly touched by some person or event. What is the origin that causes the explosive or suppression of our inner nature of passion? Screaming Whispers is a collection of poems that I have written that express the feelings and situations of women that I have met in my life. My emotions were touched by some of the lives of women that I have known. Some of the lives I write about have been so gut wrenching and inspiring, that pen to paper was my way of expressing my feelings. These poems touch on so many levels of emotions: encouragement, failure, heroism, rape, love, domestic violence, joy, infidelity, appreciation, humor and more. It is with great sincerity that this author seeks to touch every reader that connects personally with the poems read. Each and every poem contained within this book is true and has a face. I hope that everyone can understand why I was touched to write these poems. I also hope that no one has experience all of them.

Download or read book Whispers of the Forgotten Realm written by Robin Wickens and published by Rob's Books. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of **Eryndor** is a once-vibrant realm now slowly succumbing to the relentless grip of an ancient curse, its beauty marred by the creeping decay of time and dark magic. The skies are eternally shrouded in a dim, blood-red twilight, a perpetual state of half-light that cloaks the world in an unsettling gloom. The sun, a faint and distant memory, struggles to break through the heavy, oppressive clouds, casting only the weakest of rays upon the land. This weak sunlight creates an eerie, otherworldly ambiance, where night and day have merged into an endless twilight, leaving the inhabitants in a constant state of uncertainty. The landscape of Eryndor is a haunting reflection of its former glory. Once, it was a realm of breathtaking beauty and grandeur, where towering spires and majestic cities stood as a testament to the civilization that flourished there. Now, those same cities lie in ruin, their magnificent architecture crumbling and overtaken by nature. Vines and moss creep over ancient stone, reclaiming what was once theirs, while the wind whispers through empty corridors, carrying with it the memories of a forgotten age. The castles that once housed mighty lords and ladies are now little more than hollow shells, their walls cracked and broken, their halls echoing with the ghosts of the past. Some are said to be haunted, the restless spirits of those who perished in the curse-bound cataclysm unable to find peace. These spectral figures wander the halls, their lamentations a constant reminder of the tragedy that befell Eryndor. Beyond the cities and castles, the wilderness of Eryndor has grown wild and untamed. The forests, once filled with life and vibrant colors, are now dark and foreboding. Towering trees with gnarled branches stretch towards the sky like skeletal fingers, their leaves a sickly shade of brown. The ground is covered in a thick layer of dead leaves, and the air is heavy with the scent of decay. In these haunted woods, strange creatures roam—twisted, nightmarish beings born of the curse, as well as the spirits of the dead, forever trapped between worlds. Rivers and lakes, once sparkling with clear, fresh water, have turned stagnant and brackish. The waters now carry a deep, unnatural hue, and strange shapes can be seen moving beneath the surface. Some say that the curse has given life to creatures of the deep, ancient beings that should have remained buried and forgotten. The people of Eryndor, those who still survive, are a shadow of their former selves. They eke out a meager existence in the remnants of their once-great civilization, struggling to survive in a world that seems to have turned against them. They speak in hushed tones of the curse, of the ancient wrong that brought it upon them, but few know the full truth. Fear and superstition have taken root, and trust is a rare commodity. Many have turned to dark rituals and forbidden magic in a desperate attempt to lift the curse, but these efforts have only deepened the realm's descent into darkness. Eryndor is a world where hope is a fragile thing, easily crushed under the weight of despair. Yet, there are still those who fight against the darkness, small bands of adventurers, scholars, and warriors who seek to unravel the mysteries of the curse and restore Eryndor to its former glory. They venture into the deepest, most dangerous parts of the land, facing the horrors that lurk there in search of answers. But time is running out, and the curse grows stronger with each passing day, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Book excerpt: Discover the echoes of Mary throughout the timeline of Scripture Throughout the history of the Bible, incredible women have played a part in the story of salvation. Steeped in Scripture, the Blessed Mother would have known and pondered the stories of these women. She might even have recognized pieces of her own story in theirs. Following the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, the same one used in The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)™ podcast, Whispers of Mary: What Twelve Old Testament Women Teach Us About Mary invites Catholics to explore Marian typology through the lives of women like Eve, Esther, and Judith. Written by Bible teacher Gayle Somers, Whispers of Mary serves as a resource for Catholics to grow in relationship with the Blessed Mother through: Stories of biblical women from each Old Testament time period of The Bible Timeline Reflection questions that provoke deep thought about how each Bible story applies to our lives Space for journaling at the end of every chapter And more! With thought-provoking commentary and hundreds of Scripture verses, Whispers of Mary deepens readers' appreciation for the story of salvation by revealing how even in the Old Testament, the lives of heroic women pointed toward Mary, and through Mary, to God. Those who've reread a favorite novel or watched yet again a beloved movie know what a delight it can be. Already knowing the ending, we notice the true significance of characters and events we previously thought little of. In these pages, Gayle Somers invites us to read the Old Testament in light of what God accomplished in and through the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a great resource for individuals or study groups who want to approach Scripture with fresh eyes. After all, when it comes to this story, we can never be too familiar with it—for it is the story of our salvation." –Fr. Sebastian White, O.P. Editor-in-Chief, Magnificat "Years ago, I sat riveted to my folding chair in our parish hall as Gayle brought to life the women of the Bible, full of vibrancy and color—making them real and relatable and endearing. I’m overjoyed that her wisdom and deep insight is now in my hands, able to be gleaned and savored again and again. Whispers of Mary will transport readers into the sweeping story of salvation history and allow them to recognize within it not only Our Lady, not only her types in Scripture, but—marvelously!—even themselves." —Claire Dwyer Author of This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St Elizabeth of the Trinity and Co-founder of Write These Words.com "Whispers of Mary is an elegant and insightful read. Somers’ writing is utterly engaging and reflects an infectious love of scripture and of Our Lady." –Noelle Mering Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Awake, Not Woke and the Theology of Home books series. "As a young girl I loved reading the stories of women from the Old Testament, enjoying the isolated tales of these bold and complicated foremothers in their own right. But no one taught me to see the connecting threads between them, threads that are woven into the fabric of salvation history itself, reaching a culmination in the figure of Mary. This masterful study reveals those connections by unveiling the biblical art of typology—the signs and “whispers” of the new covenant that are hidden in the old, and which take on new life and meaning through the light of the Incarnation. The stories of these women are each part of God’s unfolding self-revelation, from the distant era of the patriarchs to the descent of the Spirit at Pentecost. Whispers of Mary invites us to rediscover, in all its richness and complexity, the feminine genealogy of our faith." –Abigail Favale professor at the University of Notre Dame and author, The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory and Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion
