He called him, "AlBear the Accursed" and told the mice of Tira-Nor that he was using his unearthly powers to dry up the heavens, crack the earth, wither the berries of the Dark Forest, and throttle the neck of the White River. He even called my Master a foul prophet and tool of the ancient God, ElShua. King Ahaz was right.

He is called to confront the powerful King Ahab with five simple words, “There will be no rain.” The Seer narrates the dangerous, exciting and God-given journey of the prophet Elijah in an entertaining and engaging way.

Book excerpt: In a kingdom torn apart by hatred and discrimination, a race of gifted people referred to as seers are hunted and banished due to their powers of sight. To be a seer is a death sentence, and they are feared by everyone in the kingdom for their legendary abilities to see and manipulate the future. The distinguishing marks of a seer are known only by specific members of the aristocracy and soldiers as a means to prevent mass terror. Aiden Lorian, the king's royal assassin, is tasked with one job: find the hidden seer villages and eradicate them. A contract binds him to his duty, one he cannot risk breaking, even as each village he discovers and purges slowly breaks him. Camari Dorsar is the nineteen-year old daughter of a protective healer in a small, reserved village, tired of the mundane and longing for more. Her mother lives in fear of the world and tries but fails to instill that same fear into Camari. Due to a twist of fate, Camari and Aiden's paths cross, changing their lives in an irreversible way. Their relationship reveals secrets on both sides, and challenges both of them to face truths they didn't know existed and powers far beyond their control. But there is still an ocean of personal and political secrets between them, threatening to wash them away entirely. Can they withstand the lies of their fracturing kingdom, or will they sink beneath the centuries of secrets and deceit, becoming nothing more than a wreckage in the wasteland that is history?

Download or read book The R m ya a of V lm ki An Epic of Ancient India Volume VII written by and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 1544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concluding volume of a critical English edition of the monumental Indian epic The seventh and final book of the monumental Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, the Uttarakāṇḍa, brings the epic saga to a close with an account of the dramatic events of King Rāma's millennia-long reign. It opens with a colorful history of the demonic race of the rākṣasas and the violent career of Rāma’s villainous foe Rāvaṇa, and later recounts Rāma’s grateful discharge of his allies in the great war at Lankā as well as his romantic reunion with his wife Sītā. But dark clouds gather as Rāma, confronted by scandal over Sītā’s time in captivity under the lustful Rāvaṇa, makes the agonizing decision to banish his beloved wife, now pregnant. As Rāma continues as king, marvelous tales and events unfurl, illustrating the benefits of righteous rule and the perils that await monarchs who fail to address the needs of their subjects. The Uttarakāṇḍa has long served as a point of social and religious controversy largely for its accounts of the banishment of Sītā, as well as of Rāma’s killing of a low-caste ascetic. The translators’ introduction provides a full discussion of these issues and the complex reception history of the Uttarakāṇḍa. This translation of the critical edition also includes exhaustive notes and a comprehensive bibliography.

Download or read book The Growth of Literature written by H. Munro Chadwick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published between 1932 and 1940, this is a three-volume study of the historical development of literature. It explores the oral and written literatures of regions from Iceland and the British Isles, to Russia, the Balkans, Africa, India and the Pacific, placing them in their historical context and examining similarities between them. The authors discuss both ancient and recent texts, illustrating the connections within each group and considering the question of whether all literary growth is influenced by common factors. Praised on publication as ' ... a work that is not, probably could not be, superseded' (International Journal of Comparative Sociology), the book remains a benchmark for those studying comparative literature or the history of literary criticism. Volume 2 focuses particularly on Russia and the Balkans, and also surveys both early Indian and early Hebrew literature.
