Book excerpt: The Broken Spell is a tongue-in-cheek, upside down, and back to front treatment of folk tales and the traditional thoughts on certain subjects. In this story, the hero isn't the obvious protagonist, nor is the beautiful princess the charming character one would expect. Magic doesn't always work right or in the expected manner. Evil comes in odd disguises. The appearance of a person, as in real life, doesn't necessarily indicate good morals, motives, or true character.When is a curse not a curse? When you don't accept it as one. As for Yoland, a quiet young blacksmith from the town of Wayler, he learns he can be whatever he wishes to be; that only his opinion of himself determines who he really is inside.

Book excerpt: For Grace and her four best friends, magic is just harmless fun—until it's not... Things have gone wrong for Grace, Jenny, Rachel, Adie, and Una. Very wrong. A freak snowstorm stranded the whole school, the history teacher's gone bonkers, and their notebook has taken on a diabolical life of its own, bringing all of their previously failed spells to life. At first the girls are thrilled to see their magic finally working. But the spells are botched and people might get hurt and Una's not acting quite right... Can the girls stop the madness before the demon notebook works through their list of spells, slowly creeping towards the last, truly awful spell that they didn't really want to happen?

Download or read book The Broken Spell written by Pasha M. Khan and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broken Spell: Indian Storytelling and the Romance Genre in Persian and Urdu is a monograph on the rise and fall in popularity of "romances" (qissah)—tales of wonder and magic told by storytellers at princely courts and in public spaces in India from the sixteenth century to the twentieth. Using literary genre theory, author Pasha M. Khan points to the worldviews underlying the popularity of Urdu and Persian romances, before pre-existing Islamicate rationalist traditions gained traction and Western colonialism came to prominence in India. In the introduction, Khan explains that it was around the end of the nineteenth century that these marvelous tales became devalued by Orientalists and intellectually colonized Indian elites, while at the same time a new genre, the novel, gained legitimacy. Khan goes on to narrate the life histories of professional storytellers, many of them émigrés from Iran to Mughal-ruled India, and considers how they raised their own worth and that of the romance in the face of changes in the economics, culture, and patronage of India. Khan shows the methods whereby such storytellers performed and how they promoted themselves and their art. The dividing line between marvelous tales and history is examined, showing how and why the boundary was porous. The study historicizes the Western understanding of the qissah as a local manifestation of a worldwide romance genre, showing that this genre equation had profound ideological effects. The book’s appendix contains a translation of an important text for understanding Iranian and Indian storytelling methods: the unpublished introductory portions to Fakhr al-Zamani’s manual for storytellers. The Broken Spell will appeal to scholars of folklore and fairy-tale studies, comparative literature, South Asian studies, and any reader with an interest in India and Pakistan.
