Book excerpt: Beyond the Rainbow by Prabhakar is a work of fiction. Each story is a poetic experience, aesthetic as well as elevating. The story connotes as a whole without any annotation. The moral and aesthetic coalesce. The stories are a portrayal of simple characters that come and go as silently as the day or the night. The stories approximate to an Indian macrocosm of vision and variety without any prejudice to their universal extent and intent. A pervasive sense of irony is ever there to chasten any romantic pigmentation. The book serves a sumptuous cocktail of romance and symbolism, humour and irony, realism and religion with a sympathetic human concern. It betrays a simple soul's predicament and pride. Going through the book the reader would hear the echoes of the past, the present, and the future of humanity. A journey from The Champion' to The Mahakumbha' is a pilgrimage through India.

Download or read book Complete Critical Assembly written by David Langford and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of essays, commissioned from a range of scholars across the world, takes as its theme the reception of Rome's greatest poet in a time of profound cultural change. Amid the rise of Christianity, the changing status of the city of Rome, and the emergence of new governing classes, Vergil remained a bedrock of Roman education and identity. This volume considers the different ways in which Vergil was read, understood and appropriated; by poets, commentators, Church fathers, orators and historians. The introduction outlines the cultural and historical contexts. Twelve chapters dedicated to individual writers or genres, and the contributors make use of a wide range of approaches from contemporary reception theory. An epilogue concludes the volume.

Download or read book Geocache of the Rainbow Bull written by Ozmioz Mak and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rainbow Bull reminds me of the management scoundrels of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. I love how Eve matures and finally confronts him. --- Mother Jones Eve is a new age hero in the tradition of the old west. ---Shane When I started this geocache, I never expected to get a college degree. Listening to faculty argue amongst themselves sure beats getting an online degree with the University of Phoenix. ---Eve Tillman Eve is a new age feminist, who is respectful, and just gets things done. However, what was with all of H.L. Mencken's adolescent rantings? Any man who lives his entire life in his parent's house has no right spouting off like that. ---Susan B. Anthony It's about time someone reinvented fascism for the 21st century. Move over Mussolini, move over Archie Bunker, the Rainbow Bull is a character we can all relate to. ---Tokyo Rose When is someone going to write a story where I'm the main character? And Susan B, you know you love me. --- H.L. Mencken It's refreshing to find a young lady succeed by listening to the advice of her elders, although I found the part about end of the world cults a bit disturbing. --- Reverend John Nelson Darby Oh grow-up, most people are losers. All great leaders know nothing would get accomplished without a little bull sprinkled in here and there. --- Rainbow Bull What's more American than rebelling against bull? Just like the Wizard of Oz was the master of humbug of the 20th century, the Rainbow Bull is the master of bull in the 21st, and strangely enough, both characters were outwitted by a young lady. ----Mark Twain

Download or read book Imagining the Unimaginable written by Glyn Morgan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagining the Unimaginable examines popular fiction's treatment of the Holocaust in the dystopian and alternate history genres of speculative fiction, analyzing the effectiveness of the genre's major works as a lens through which to view the most prominent historical trauma of the 20th century. It surveys a range of British and American authors, from science fiction pulp to Pulitzer Prize winners, building on scholarship across disciplines, including Holocaust studies, trauma studies, and science fiction studies. The conventional discourse around the Holocaust is one of the unapproachable, unknowable, and the unimaginable. The Holocaust has been compared to an earthquake, another planet, another universe, a void. It has been said to be beyond language, or else have its own incomprehensible language, beyond art, and beyond thought. The 'othering' of the event has spurred the phenomenon of non-realist Holocaust literature, engaging with speculative fiction and its history of the uncanny, the grotesque, and the inhuman. This book examines the most common forms of nonmimetic Holocaust fiction, the dystopia and the alternate history, while firmly positioning these forms within a broader pattern of non-realist engagements with the Holocaust.

Download or read book In Search of the Rainbow s End written by Colin Caffell and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **THE TRUE STORY BEHIND MAJOR ITV DRAMA WHITE HOUSE FARM, NOW ON NETFLIX** 'An extraordinary book . . . both deeply moving and quietly inspiring' FREDDIE FOX 'A beautiful, very moving book' CRESSIDA BONAS In 1985, the shocking murder of a family of five in a quiet country house in Essex rocked the nation. The victims were Nevill and June Bamber; their adopted daughter Sheila Caffell, divorced from her husband Colin; and Sheila and Colin's twin sons, Nicholas and Daniel. Only one survivor remained: the Bamber's other adopted child, Jeremy Bamber. Following his lead, the police - and later the press - blamed the murders on Sheila, who, so the story went, then committed suicide. Written by Sheila's ex-husband Colin and originally published in 1994, In Search of the Rainbow's End is the first and only book about the White House Farm murders to have been written by a family member. It is the inside story of two families into whose midst the most monstrous events erupted. When Jeremy Bamber is later convicted on all five counts of murder, Colin is left to pick up the pieces of his life after not only burying his ex-wife, two children and parents-in-law, but also having to cope with memories of Sheila almost shattered by a predatory press hungry for stories of sex, drugs and the high life. Colin's tale is not just a rare insider's picture of murder, but testimony to the strength and resilience of one man in search of healing after trauma: he describes his process of recovery, a process that led to his working in prisons, helping to rehabilitate,among others, convicted murderers. By turns emotive, terrifying, and inspiring, Colin Caffell's account of mass murder and its aftermath will not fail to move and astonish.

Download or read book The Forest of Souls written by Rachel Pollack and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2002 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a Magical Mystery Tour. Join celebrated Tarot author, artist, and scholar Rachel Pollack on a magical walk through the mysteries, archetypes, and dream-like images of the Tarot. In the tradition of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, Rachel draws upon symbols, myths, and folk tales both ancient and modern, to illuminate the spiritual truths behind the Tarot's symbols. The Forest of Souls unfolds like a dream, in a series of musings upon the confluence of the sacred and the mundane. How can a simple deck of 78 cards become keys unlocking life's greatest secrets? While the most common use of Tarot is for divination, Rachel shows how to use the cards for readings of an entirely different nature. Asking improbable, even impossible questions, she plays with the sacred possibilities and answers that the Tarot gives us. What nourishes my soul? What is soul? What is Tarot? What plan did God follow to create the universe? We now know that the Tarot was almost certainly not originally designed to include Kabbalistic and other occult correspondences. Yet such systems can greatly enhance our understanding of and relationship with the cards. Embracing paradox and non-linear thinking allows us to push the boundaries of the known and venture into the unknown. It is in that sacred space that we open ourselves to wonder and mystery.
