Book excerpt: It's not every-day your uncle tries to kill your entire family and burn your house to the ground, all to keep a life altering secret hidden. Unfortunately for him, he should have hired better mercenaries. My name is Anna Arnoth and I found his dirty little secret. To date, I have survived two assassination attempts. Unfortunately, the third was more successful. In the blink of an eye my world was changed forever, I was twenty-six and I had a knife sticking out of my chest. This is where my story would have ended if it wasn't for the girl clad in black. With my last breath she gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, an offer to seek the revenge I desired. There was just one small catch, I had to swear an oath that even death couldn't break. Only now as I enjoy a life-giving breath, am I willing to ask the question. At what cost was this new lease on life?
Download or read book Shadows of Doubt written by Stefania Tutino and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Book of the Year by History Today In a compelling examination of the hermeneutical and epistemological anxieties gripping both the early modern and our current world, Stefania Tutino shows that post-Reformation Catholicism did not simply usher in modernity, but postmodernity as well. This deft study provides new insight into and a fresh perspective on the context of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic response to it. Shadows of Doubt provides a collection of case-studies centered on the relationship between language, the truth of men, and the Truth of theology. Most of these case-studies illuminate little-known figures in the history of early modern Catholicism. While the militant aspects of post-Tridentine Catholicism can be appreciated by studying figures such as Robert Bellarmine or Cesare Baronio, who were the solid pillars of the intellectual and theological structure of the Church of Rome, an understanding of the more fragile and shadowy aspects of early modernity requires an exploration of the demimonde of post-Reformation Catholicism. Tutino examines the thinkers whom few scholars mention and fewer read, demonstrating that post-Reformation Catholicism was not simply a world of solid certainties to be opposed to the Protestant falsehoods, but also a world in which the stable Truth of theology existed alongside and contributed to a number of far less stable truths concerning the world of men. Post-Reformation Catholic culture was not only concerned with articulating and affirming absolute truths, but also with exploring and negotiating the complex links between certainty and uncertainty. By bringing to light this fascinating and hitherto largely unexamined side of post-Tridentine Catholicism, Tutino reveals that post-Reformation Catholic culture was a vibrant laboratory for many of the issues that we face today: it was a world of fractures and fractured truths which we, with a heightened sensitivity to discrepancies and discontinuities, are now well-suited to understand.

Download or read book Return to the Shadows written by Alison Pargeter and published by Saqi Books. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Spring heralded a profound shift in the Middle East, bringing to power Islamist movements which had previously been operating in the shadows. The Muslim Brotherhood stormed to victory in Egypt and emerged as a key player in Libya's nascent political arena. Meanwhile, An-Nahda found itself catapulted into power as the head of Tunisia's coalition government. For a while, it looked as though the region was entering the dawn of a new Islamist age. But navigating their respective countries through difficult and painful transitions ultimately proved too challenging for these forces, and, just as suddenly, the Brotherhood was dramatically overthrown in Egypt and left severely weakened in Libya. In Tunisia, An-Nahda managed to pull itself through the crisis, but its failure to articulate and deliver the hopes and aspirations of a large section of Tunisian society damaged its credibility. In this authoritative account, Alison Pargeter expertly charts the Islamists' ascent and subsequent fall from power. Based on extensive research and interviews with high ranking members of the Brotherhood and An-Nahda, Pargeter offers a comparative analysis of the movement in North Africa since the Arab Spring, and outlines the consequences of the Brotherhood's decline on both the region and the wider Islamist political project.

Download or read book Shadows written by Emmanuel Fru Doh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadows, as the title insinuates, splits open and lays bare the frightening vision of humanity, the heart of man depressed, a veritable inferno in which there is little to be enjoyed and everything to be endured, as all is vanity, a gnawing emptiness. Nothing is but what it seems. Simple but without being simplistic, there is in the damp climate of Doh's poetry broken promises, displaced emotional centres, a pervading sense of doom, of impending disaster, and a total helplessness reminiscent of Plato's proverbial mythical cave in which all reality is but shadow, devoid of substance, with the observer chained to the walls of his feelings, beliefs, and unfulfilled ambitions. The second section, 'Celebration', is, however, a source of warmth, of light, the sun's rays in an otherwise damp and and dark collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At seventeen, Ross MacInnes stole a car and was caught. At nineteen, he was sworn in as a member of the esteemed Royal Canadian Mounted Police. And by his thirtieth year of police service, he was a commander in the organized crime division of a major urban department. Shadows Come at Midnight is a memoir like no other. Here is an intimate account by a retired police officer about a life filled with trauma that originated from both within and without. Here are stories of tragedy and unimaginable sorrow suffered by a man who folded his anguish into his soul. The stories of grief, terror, humor, and compassion will move you in ways you never imagined and will hold you spell-bound. The roller-coaster of the author’s journey is mesmerizing. On his first posting as an RCMP Officer, his partner was murdered. As a result, he began to take extreme risks in his work, and there was no relief for the nightmares except booze. He quit the RCMP and for four years searched for an occupation that would give meaning and purpose but was unable to find it. Then, determined to face down his demons, returned as a Police Officer with the Calgary Police Department. This is not a self-help book, but a story of a journey through mental and emotional suffering to a life lived with purpose and joy. It took MacInnes years to understand the price he’d paid, and to realize that certain injuries heal, but that PTSD, OSI and moral injury can only be managed, never mended. He shares the experiences he endured so others can realize they are not alone with their own shadows.
