Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Tale has its beginning, though this one begins in the middle. In the World of the Nine Goddessi, in the South Woods where the branches of the trees twist so tightly amongst themselves that light only bleeds through at the height of noons, a strange girl is born, fully grown and fully clothed. At her side is a man whose touch burns her skin and a beast who appears and disappears like a shadow. In her head is a voice that insists it is the real owner of both her body and her Tale. She is led through the World by the man with the burning hands until he bursts into flames and falls to ashes. A chat with the goddess of death assures her that he is not dead but still at large somewhere, beginning her journey through the lands of the World. But while every step changes her Tale, her Tale begins to change the World, for she is like nothing the World has ever seen. Welcome to the World Travel the World of the Nine Goddesi, the burning lands of the Greater and Lesser Deserts where the orthodox fire goddess's worshipers hunt and race and war among themselves. Watch the barely-clad bathing beauties of the water goddess by the lakes and on the shore of Kalilandrau, the Great Salt Sea. The stolid stone people carve their homes from the hearts of mountains and carve a trade track for ever-moving Caravans across the World, even unto the White Lands where the people of the Fallen Star go about ever in masks and create things too wondrous to be mere magic. In the forests where the Twins reign, their worshippers live in eternal twilight and bend their backs at hoeing grains and drive their herds through the dangerous swaths of highgrass where the Bane lie in wait to steal children and cut the throats of intruders to drink of their blood. But should these dangers overcome you, the grey people of the goddess of Death will be there to guide you to the Far Lands, where good and bad go alike to live again. And beyond it's strange geography and cultures, the World is an even more foreign place. Here, men make Tales. And Tales make men and thing far stranger than men. In the World, all Tales are true. Come. The World awaits.

Download or read book Philip K Dick written by Samuel J. Umland and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1995-01-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 11 essays and a comprehensive bibliography. The essays reveal the extent to which Philip K. Dick's personal obsessions pre-figured postmodernist concerns with humanity's self-alienation, cultural and personal paranoia, and the politics of simulation, deceit, and self-deception. The contributors reveal how Dick's ontological concerns, stated in his repeated questioning of What is real?, are also political concerns. Thus, they examine the philosophical and religious foundations on which his work rests, offering much-needed arguments which reveal both his philosophical depth and the extent to which he drew from esoteric and occult religions. His cultural critique also receives significant exposition, as the contributors reveal how Dick's fiction enacts the larger cultural struggles of cold war America, with its conflicting private visions and public realities, and its personal and political loyalties. The contributors argue for the significance of heretofore neglected or marginalized texts of Dick as well, including in their discussions many early short stories from the early 1950s and neglected novels of the mid-1960s, arguing that there is a need to understand how Dick shaped (or misshaped) his fictions so as to reimagine the life of his society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this compelling new study of the disastrous 1940 campaign in France and Flanders, Matthew Richardson reconstructs in vivid detail the British Army's defeat as it was experienced by the soldiers of a single battalion, the 2nd/5th Leicesters. These men typified the ill-equipped, under-trained British battalions that faced the Blitzkrieg and the might of Hitler's legions. They were thrown into a series of desperate, one-sided engagements that resulted in a humiliating retreat, then evacuation from Dunkirk. This is their story"--Publisher's description.
