Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic Fantasy: Redefined The city of Wyvern's Rest has fallen... The "Jewel of the Highland" is now a ghost of its former glory. Those with the means to live and the will to dream have already fled the city. Those lacking remain, condemned to bury their sorrow while the walls crumble around them. Lawlessness and poverty have overtaken the streets, and as the days grow longer, the shadows of the abandoned Outer Quarter loom ever darker. Ava spends her days tethered to her prison, the belly of an old, stone inn, overlooking the docks and the familiar, sea-side market. She leans on her friends for innocent laughter and talk of unimportant things. Every day, the tavern fills with the hopes and dreams of those fleeing for brighter horizons; and every day, Ava watches them leave with the simplest wish...to join them. Little does she know, her fate is woven to the enormous, crimson carriage that creaks through the shadows of another forgotten morning. The odd-shaped man who emerges from the carriage carries two simple things: an old, leather satchel and a sinister secret. One will free Ava from her prison. One will forever seal her tomb. Both will alter the course of Wyvern's Rest forever.

Book excerpt: In the hazy history of the Old Norse… When Gisle and Geir come back from a day’s hunting, they find their farm devastated, their parents and farmhands killed, and the women of the farm gone, including their sisters Gunn and Ginna. Since their older brother Olof is trading goods in Friesland, they take shelter with their uncle Fridbjörn and his wife Holmdis, the skillful seer. No one travels through the dark night – no one but Nattfari. One dull autumn evening he knocks on the door and asks for lodging. Then he makes predictions about friends and kin, astray and in foreign lands. He tells of Olof and Gangulf in Friesland, he foretells the fate of the sisters on Zealand, and he warns of misfortune and death. Fate’s Weave is a historical adventure novel, a story of life and death far back in time, in the historical haze of Europe’s migration era. Meet the depressed berserker, Gangulf; sisters Gunn and Ginna, who sleep with three kings before winter turns to spring; the Anglo-Saxons Hewald and Hewald, who preach the word of God to Frisians and other heathens; Styrbjörn and Hreppir, who find each other in Gypeswic’s mud; the old edda Crust, decrepit but with a mind of steel, thrusting her spear at warriors; as well as Finnvid, the Finnveding who executes a splendid Yule blót at Bolmsö, thus overthrowing the invasive king Ingvald. Meet Harald and Vigr, Eirbjorg and her daughters, King Erik in Uppsala, and, last but not least, Nattfari. The Nattfari who travels far and wide and who is called by many names... Meet them and many more, whose threads of fate run together and form a strange and mighty weave.
Download or read book Chaos and Order in the World of the Psyche written by Joanne Wieland-Burston and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaos can enter our lives in many different ways--through death, divorce or conflict--with friends and family, or at work. Joanne Wieland-Burston, through her work as a Jungian analyst, is no stranger to chaos, and frequently acts as companion, support and guide to those whose lives are in turmoil. Chaos and Order in the World of the Psycheshows that the experience of chaos is generally both negative and frightening, destabilizing the individual and provoking feelings of insecurity. People, therefore, often seek to deny and avoid chaos--but chaos that is blocked off does not disappear. It manifests itself in depression, fear, anxiety and various physical symptoms, often making us incapable of performing the simplest daily tasks. The author describes how she helps people to meet the chaos, to accept and see it as the starting-point for a new order in their lives. This "organic order" is better suited to their needs and personality, and provides them with the basis to come through their chaos and to lead fuller, happier and more satisfying lives. Wieland-Burston explores the modern attitude to chaos, showing how we shun and deny it while at the same time overestimating the importance of orderliness. Contemporary western society has no tools to deal with chaos, unlike "primitive" cultures, whose myths, tales and rites reveal a deep commitment to developing and transmitting to future generations models of chaos confrontation. Chaos and Order in the World of the Psychedraws upon these ancient cultures and upon modern scientific findings of chaos theory to show how we can regain the wisdom we once possessed and have now lost.

Download or read book Tracking the White Rabbit written by Lyn Cowan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its beginning, depth psychology has attempted to change the status quo of individual and cultural life by probing beneath surface appearances. Lyn Cowan explores a number of subjects, considering what possible meanings and implications for change might lie behind the conventional attitudes toward such subjects as: * Abortion * Gender and sexuality * Language * Memory * Melancholy The author puts forward the argument that, although "psychology" and "subversion" are not usually thought of as belonging together, they should be. Such a view, presented clearly with humour and insight, offers a way to think differently about usual things, and yield fresh meaning to some of the pressing dilemmas of our time and how we as individuals may respond to them.

Download or read book Tales and Translation written by Cay Dollerup and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-09-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with the most translated work of German literature, the Tales of the brothers Grimm (1812-1815), this book discusses their history, notably in relation to Denmark and subsequently other nations from 1816 to 1986. The Danish intelligentsia responded enthusiastically to the tales and some were immediately translated into Danish by a nobleman and by the foremost Romantic poet. Their renditions remained in print for a century and embued the tales with high prestige. This book discusses translators, approaches, and other parameters such as copyright, and changes in target audiences. The tales’ social acceptability inspired Hans Christian Andersen to write his celebrated fairytales. Combined, the Grimm and Andersen tales came to constitute the ‘international fairytale’.This genre was born in processes of translation and, today, it is rooted more firmly in the world of translation than in national literatures. This book thus addresses issues of interest to literary, cross-cultural studies and translation.

Unfortunately for Ravirn, some very dangerous beings have figured that out, too…

Download or read book Weave of Fate written by Phoenix MacKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time ticks away, even for an immortal and evolution cannot be denied. Change is coming. It has always been here, weaving its way through us. For forty years a small band of humans had presumed themselves to be the survivors of a race. Yet that race was far more than human. A mirror never lies but a mind can deny what it chooses not to see. Long ago before humans came to be, their reflection was shattered and the shards of a mirror glittered amongst the stars. Reflections they saw now through their children. Shards of a mirror that threatened to cut man open from the inside as their screamed at truth: evolving one step towards their forgotten past. Their were those that preyed upon the lost, the infants of evolution and remnants of civilization. To them man was a harvest to be reaped: neatly packaged in stasis pods. A commodity to be sold enslaved and experimented with. Indeed Earth was fruitful and it seemed that humans had seeded another world, a distant world, yet ripe for the picking... Or so the Yulka thought. They would soon learn that some fruits are deadly. Aware that Earth and human kin were being harvested, the peaceful nirvani tribe and their descendants, looked to the stars again. Ghosts of their past beckoned and weaved fate through them. Humanity would die and in that moment they would be reborn. Woe be to those who meddle with the mirror's children.
