Download or read book A Way without an End written by G. B. Zechendorf and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an imaginary Empire whose king is dying, everyone fears for the fate of the kingdom. The only heir of the Empire is Princess Anila, whose womanhood would not help her climb on the Throne. Without successors, the counts would become sovereigns again, and war for dominance would break out. In Dalday, Nufira decides to leave her village to become a King’s Messenger. She not only discovers a strange world in which rules are not always familiar to her, but she will play a leading role in stabilising the Empire, due to her self-assurance, loyalty and common sense. A triumphant tale of life, showing that true strength and values come from within, regardless of appearance. An extraordinary example of a woman who stepped out of her traditional female role to recover a whole kingdom. G. B. Zechendorf, born in Berlin in 1948, is married, has three sons and six grandchildren. He is a trained librarian and documentalist and has worked from 1978-2011 at the European Commission where he had built up a large documentation about biotechnology and life sciences, directed studies and organised workshops (working language was English). Since 2011 he has retired and is living in Brussels. Among his numerous writings are novels, short stories, 12 contributions to the field of biotechnology, a book on unusual European aspects, in German (“Interferenzen”), and a yet unpublished guide through Brussels’ cultural heritage, in French (“Balades à Bruxelles”). Being a truly European writer, many of his stories are set in various European countries, some in the USA. Bernhard’s main interests are reading, studying, walking, travelling and – of course – writing.
Download or read book The Santero written by Kim Rodriguez and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda Rose only wanted a little space. She'd been warned about Latin men, their unquenchable libido, their passion, their love of all women, but she didn't listen. Ignorance is bliss, they say, and it's true. Until you see the truth with your own eyes. The last place Rafa de Leon ever expected to find himself was back in Havana. Only a crazy man, or a man crazy in love, would ever return to a country that wouldn't hesitate to punish him for treason by locking him up for life. Or worse. Rafa thought that part of his life was over, that he'd never again have to remember who he was and where he came from, or the humble beginnings that made him into the man he was today. But when the love of his life goes missing, there's nothing he won't give to get her back, even if it means trading his soul away to the noisy spirits haunting him since childhood. No longer a man of science and reason, may the gods help anyone foolish enough to come between Rafa and his Amada.

Download or read book Nura and the Immortal Palace written by M. T. Khan and published by Jimmy Patterson. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aru Shah and the End of Time meets Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away in this mesmerizing portal fantasy that takes readers into the little-known world of Jinn. Nura longs for the simple pleasure of many things—to wear a beautiful red dupatta or to bite into a sweet gulab. But with her mom hard at work in a run-down sweatshop and three younger siblings to feed, Nura must spend her days earning money by mica mining. But it’s not just the extra rupees in her pocket Nura is after. Local rumor says there’s buried treasure in the mine, and Nura knows that finding it could change the course of her family’s life forever. Her plan backfires when the mines collapse and four kids, including her best friend, Faisal, are claimed dead. Nura refuses to believe it and shovels her way through the dirt hoping to find him. Instead, she finds herself at the entrance to a strange world of purple skies and pink seas—a portal to the opulent realm of jinn, inhabited by the trickster creatures from her mother’s cautionary tales. Yet they aren’t nearly as treacherous as her mother made them out to be, because Nura is invited to a luxury jinn hotel, where she’s given everything she could ever imagine and more. But there’s a dark truth lurking beneath all that glitter and gold, and when Nura crosses the owner’s son and is banished to the working quarters, she realizes she isn’t the only human who’s ended up in the hotel’s clutches. Faisal and the other missing children are there, too, and if Nura can’t find a way to help them all escape, they’ll be bound to work for the hotel forever. Set in a rural industrial town in Pakistan and full of hope, heart, and humor, Nura and the Immortal Palace is inspired by M.T. Khan’s own Pakistani Muslim heritage.
Download or read book Medina by the Bay written by Maryam Kashani and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Black Power movement and state surveillance to Silicon Valley and gentrification, Medina by the Bay examines how multiracial Muslim communities in the San Francisco Bay Area survive and flourish within and against racial capitalist, carceral, and imperial logics. Weaving expansive histories, peoples, and geographies together in an ethnographic screenplay of cinematic scenes, Maryam Kashani demonstrates how sociopolitical forces and geopolitical agendas shape Muslim ways of knowing and being. Throughout, Kashani argues that contemporary Islam emerges from the specificities of the Bay Area, from its landscapes and infrastructures to its Muslim liberal arts college, mosques, and prison courtyards. Theorizing the Medina by the Bay as a microcosm of socioeconomic, demographic, and political transformations in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries, Kashani resituates Islam as liberatory and abolitionist theory, theology, and praxis for all those engaged in struggle.
Download or read book Shamanism in the Interdisciplinary Context written by Art Leete and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of shamanism in its variety of forms and manifestations has become vital in our understanding of the origins and development of ideological systems of the human family. Though not a religion, shamanism is the first formalization of the human quest for meaning, understanding and participation in the mysteries of the cosmic drama. It is a global phenomenon; cultural specific practices and beliefs reflecting and embodying universal "truths." This book is a collection of the papers presented at the 6th Conference of the International Society for Shamanistic Research held at the Viljandi Kultuurikolledz, Viljandi, Estonia in August of 2001. It represents the contemporary work of international scholarship in its attempt to understand the complexities of shamanism, both ancient and surviving. Increasingly the study of shamanism is interdisciplinary. These papers and articles offer, as well, an example of the mix of disciplines presently coming to bear on the study of shamanism.
