There is a numbing blow which snaps his head to one side. He feels the keys slip from his hand as he sinks into darkness. His last thoughts are about the attack. The unknown assailant's sole purpose is to kill him. Why? A mysterious letter sent to Alan Bronze encourages him to return to his childhood hometown to handle the estate of his deceased grandfather, a man he hated and who hated him in return. Instead of the expected paper shuffling, Alan is soon struggling just to stay alive. He has unwittingly walked into the midst of a major drug distribution center-set up by his own grandfather. The old man's corrupt partners are the leading citizens of the small mountain town, and now they plan to take care of Alan-just like they took care of his grandfather.

Download or read book Death Image Memory written by Piotr Cieplak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how photography and documentary film have participated in the representation of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and its aftermath. This in-depth analysis of professional and amateur photography and the work of Rwandan and international filmmakers offers an insight into not only the unique ability of images to engage with death, memory and the need for evidence, but also their helplessness and inadequacy when confronted with the enormity of the event. Focusing on a range of films and photographs, the book tests notions of truth, evidence, record and witnessing – so often associated with documentary practice – in the specific context of Rwanda and the wider representational framework of African conflict and suffering. Death, Image, Memory is an inquiry into the multiple memorial and evidentiary functions of images that transcends the usual investigations into whether photography and documentary film can reliably attest to the occurrence and truth of an event.
Download or read book The Cambridge Guide to Homer written by Corinne Ondine Pache and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.

Download or read book Death of Virgil written by Hermann Broch and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1995-01-15 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the reign of the Emperor Augustus, and Publius Vergilius Maro, the poet of the Aeneid and Caesar's enchanter, has been summoned to the palace, where he will shortly die. Out of the last hours of Virgil's life and the final stirrings of his consciousness, the Austrian writer Hermann Broch fashioned one of the great works of twentieth-century modernism, a book that embraces an entire world and renders it with an immediacy that is at once sensual and profound. Begun while Broch was imprisoned in a German concentration camp, The Death of Virgil is part historical novel and part prose poem -- and always an intensely musical and immensely evocative meditation on the relation between life and death, the ancient and the modern.
