Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odyssey Tale is a gritty retelling of Homer's epic, blending classic fairy tales with Greek mythology. The story revolves around King Otis Seehus, who has been wrongly imprisoned for a decade following his heroics in the Trojan War. Determined to return home to his wife and son, Otis must overcome countless treacherous obstacles. Meanwhile, Otis's son, Mac, has nearly reached manhood and has yet to meet his father. Despite rumors of Otis's demise, Mac refuses to believe them and takes it upon himself to find his long-lost father. He organizes a ship and crew led by a wise and magical man named Jinni, who possesses extraordinary powers. The crew consists of sailors who call themselves "Lost Boys," each with unique skills and backstories. As they set sail, the story unfolds with fantastical elements, unexpected twists, and nostalgic references. The crew faces mythical creatures, encounters classic fairy tale characters, and delves into the depths of Greek mythology, as "once upon a time" provides the backdrop for reimagining one man's journey to reunite with his family and reclaim his kingdom. Throughout the perilous voyage, Mac grows into adulthood, discovering his strength and resilience while learning valuable lessons about loyalty, courage, and the importance of family bonds. Jinni, with his magical abilities and wisdom, becomes a mentor figure for Mac, guiding him through the trials they encounter. Odyssey Tale combines the grandeur of Greek mythology with the familiarity of beloved fairy tales, creating a rich tapestry of adventure, emotion, and personal growth. It weaves together the timeless themes of love, heroism, and the enduring power of the human spirit, offering readers a fresh and exciting perspective on a classic tale.

Download or read book A Muscle Odyssey written by Robert D. Cohen and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Muscle Odyssey follows Splancreas and some other offal (Matador, 2013), Nephrosapiens (Matador, 2012) and Man and the Liver (Matador, December 2011).Robert D. Cohen’s previous books in his biological series have described the evolution, development, anatomy, physiology and pathology of liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, brain and testicles, and have referred to how these subjects have been treated in literature, cuisine and linguistics. All these may be referred to as ‘innards’, in contrast to what might be regarded as ‘outers’, i.e. the framework which contains and moves all these vital organs. However, this distinction is not absolute, since muscle appears in the walls of blood vessels, gut and airways, and in an internal sphincter – the sphincter of Oddi – which is the orifice through which the enzymatic secretions of the pancreas enter the small gut. This framework contains, of course, skin and bone, in addition to muscle. Robert now moves on in the same vein, dealing with history, evolution, embryology, anatomy, physiology, pathology of muscle and its roles in art and music. A Muscle Odyssey will appeal to readers interested in human biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir, biography, work of history, and literary criticism all in one, this moving book tells the story of three exiled writers—Erich Auerbach, François Fénelon, and W. G. Sebald—and their relationship with the classics, from Homer to Mimesis. In a genre-defying book hailed as “exquisite” (The New York Times) and “spectacular” (The Times Literary Supplement), the best-selling memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn explores the mysterious links between the randomness of the lives we lead and the artfulness of the stories we tell. Combining memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own—works that pondered the nature of narrative itself: Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler’s Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul; François Fénelon, the seventeenth-century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus—a veiled critique of the Sun King and the best-selling book in Europe for a hundred years—resulted in his banishment; and the German novelist W.G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore Odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home. Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn’s struggle to write two of his own books—a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father—that are haunted by tales of oppression and wandering. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the reader to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.
