Book excerpt: Excerpt from Avatar: Or the Double Transformation Perhaps! Ejaculated the doctor, as he settled himself more comfortably in his chair, as though he were preparing to listen to what might be a lengthy confidence. I don't want you, said Octave, to think me childishly obstinate, and to leave you at liberty, through my persistent silence, to wash your hands of whatever fatal result may ensue from my peculiar disease; so, since you wish it, I will tell you my story. You have already guessed the clue to it, and I won't dispute with you about details. Don't expect anything very singular or romantic. It is a very simple history, very common and trite 3 but, as Henri Heine says, he to whom it happens always finds it new, and breaks his heart over it. In truth, doctor, I am almost ashamed to mention such a commonplace matter to a man who has lived in the most fabulous and strange countries.

Download or read book Prince of Lies written by James Lowder and published by Wizards of the Coast. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gods may have been restored to their rightful seats of power—but the end of the Time of Troubles does not mark the end of all strife Although the gods have regained their powers and no longer walk in the mortal world, there is still little peace between them. When their deeply engrained power struggles erupt once more, ex-comrades Mystra—formerly known as Midnight and recently elevated to godhood—and Cyric are bound together in conflict. Cyric, now the god of strife, murder, and the dead, has become even more obsessed with power and revenge. No longer content with just the Tablets of Fate, he wants the Forgotten Realms all to himself—and to rule them in the name of evil. Only Mystra, the new goddess of magic, has the ability to defeat him and restore the balance that has been lost.

In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.
Download or read book Avatar The Last Airbender The Rise of Kyoshi Chronicles of the Avatar Book 1 written by F.C. Yee and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender comes the instant USA Today and New York Times bestselling novel starring Avatar Kyoshi—now in paperback! Written in consultation with Michael Dante DiMartino, the visionary cocreator and executive producer of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra animated TV series. Justice begins with one woman. After nine years of desperate searching for the next Avatar, the discovery of young, charming Avatar Yun has brought stability to the four nations—that is, until Earth Kingdom-born Kyoshi, Yun’s unassuming friend and servant, demonstrates remarkable bending during a mission to the South Pole. With the identity of the true Avatar at stake and the growing unrest among her allies turning into violence, Kyoshi is forced to flee the Avatar mansion with her fiery friend Rangi, taking little more than the metal war fans and headdress her parents left behind. It isn’t easy finding Avatar training on the run, but Kyoshi and Rangi find unlikely supporters in the daofei: ragtag criminals and outlaws living in the shadows of the Earth Kingdom. Torn between following the traditional path of an Avatar and seeking vengeance for those she has lost, Kyoshi struggles to accept her newfound power as she trains in secret. But while Kyoshi, Rangi, and her daofei friends face off against brutal underworld rivals, those who seek to control the Avatar draw ever closer to her, leaving trails of the dead in their wake. The story behind the longest-living Avatar in the history of this beloved world, The Rise of Kyoshi maps Kyoshi’s journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice still feared and admired centuries after becoming the Avatar. “Yee artfully weaves in political entanglements as well as complex cultural identities to fully immerse readers in Kyoshi’s world. . . . An action-packed tale that answers some long-awaited questions; fans will look forward to the promised sequel.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Dashavatar written by KAMALA CHANDRAKANT and published by Amar Chitra Katha Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 1971-04-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Puranic lore, Vishnu is the preserver of the universe and the cosmic order. The Dasha Avatar is the Puranic story of the ten incarnations of Vishnu who descends to the terrestrial world to establish stability and order, time and again. The avatars occur in a sequence – the first was matsya or fish representing life in water, followed by kurma or turtle signifying life in water and on land, then varaha or boar alluding to terrestrial life and so on. The sequence of the avatars could be taken to symbolise various stages in the evolution of life culminating in the advent of the perfect being.
Download or read book Player and Avatar written by David Owen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you make small leaps in your chair while attempting challenging jumps in Tomb Raider? Do you say "Ouch!" when a giant hits you with a club in Skyrim? Have you had dreams of being inside the underwater city of Rapture? Videogames cast the player as protagonist in an unfolding narrative. Like actors in front of a camera, gamers' proprioception, or body awareness, can extend to onscreen characters, thus placing them "physically" within the virtual world. Players may even identify with characters' ideological motivations. The author explores concepts central to the design and enjoyment of videogames--affect, immersion, liveness, presence, agency, narrative, ideology and the player's virtual surrogate: the avatar. Gamer and avatar are analyzed as a cybernetic coupling that suggests fulfillment of Atonin Artaud's vision of the "body without organs."

Download or read book Avatar Emergency written by Gregory L. Ulmer and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new experience of identity is emerging within the digital apparatus under the rubric of “avatar.” This study develops “concept avatar” as an opportunity to invent a practice of citizenship native to the Internet that simulates the functionality of measure dramatized in the traditions of “descent” (“avatar”) or “incarnation,” including the original usage in the Bhagavad Gita, and the Western evolution of the virtue of prudence from the Ancient daimon, through genius and character, to the contemporary sinthome.
Download or read book Out of Print Ten Years An Anthology of Stories written by Indira Chandrasekhar and published by Context. This book was released on with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book Out of Print in print! A decade ago, in 2010, Indira Chandrasekhar set up Out of Print to address a need she felt as a writer: a focused platform for the short story; a space for robust editorial discussions as well as one that would serve as a platform for discoveries—of newer facets of the form itself and of new writing. This commemorative volume hopes to capture something of that adventure. It is, thus, not a ‘best of’ volume, but one that speaks to the spirit of the magazine: its diversity of literary voices, its openness to experimentation, its focus on Indian-language publishing and its stand against mediocrity. Most crucially, of course, this is an ode to the short-story form, its ‘art of brevity and honesty’.
