Imagine not being able to remember a single thing about what happened, even though you were there. It doesn't matter how hard I try. I. Can't. Remember! I was just a small boy when it happened. I must have tried to defend her because I have the scars that prove it. My wounds should have healed completely. I'm a shifter. Son of the alpha. They didn't! My scars are my constant reminder of what the Moones did. What they took away from us. My mother died in agony. A piece of my father died along with her. I'm given the opportunity to right a wrong. To finish the last remaining Moone before they become a fully-fledged wolf. It won't be easy but I've got this. The offspring of that despicable family cannot be allowed to ever reach full power. I'll die before I allow it to happen. I leave my pack and head for the city. Evie I'm just a regular girl, living a regular life. I work hard, living from day to day, trying to make ends meet. Minding my own business. You know, normal stuff. When, from out of nowhere, he crashes into me while I'm on a jog. Quite literally crashes into my clumsy ass. Then again, maybe I crashed into him. I'm not sure how it went down, only that he's a colossal jerk. I wish he wasn't quite so sexy because...back to the part about him being a jerk. I'm being polite since "jerk" is too nice a word. I'm happy to see the back of him. Partly because he has such a nice back but also because he sucks...big time! Only, the sexy jerkface keeps turning up. I can't seem to get rid of him. Do I even want to? Yes. No. Argh! It's annoying. Then I find out that I'm not such a regular girl after all. Not even close. Just like that, everything changes. And I mean everything. Authors note: Scarred Wolf is a standalone shifter romance. It features a sassy heroine who has no idea who she really is and a sexy alpha who'll help her figure things out. No, that's not true, she'll help him figure things out. Okay, maybe a little bit of both. Beware, this book contains super-hot, growly scenes and naughty language that will make you blush!

Download or read book What Remains written by Gerald Fetz and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the most important—and influential—German woman writer of the last century, Christa Wolf was long heralded as "die gesamtdeutsche Autorin," an author for all of Germany; but, after 1989 in unified Germany, Wolf found herself suddenly embroiled in controversies that challenged her integrity and consigned her to an ideologically suspect identity as "DDR Schriftstellerin” (GDR writer) or “Staatsdichterin” (state poet). What Remains: Responses to the Legacy of Christa Wolf asks the question of what truly remains of her legacy in the annals of contemporary German culture and history. Unlike most of what appeared in the wake of Wolf’s death, however, the contributions to this international volume seek neither to monumentalize her nor to dismantle her stature, but to employ a range of methodologies—comparative, intertextual, psychoanalytic, historical, transcultural—to offer sensitive assessments of Wolf’s major literary texts, as well as of her lesser known work in genres such as film and essay.

Download or read book Sons of the Wolf written by Paula Lofting and published by Longship Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the battlefield, Wulfhere fights for his life but elsewhere the enemy is closer to home, sinister and shadowy and far more dangerous than any war. 1054, pious King Edward sits on the throne, spending his days hunting, sleeping and praying, leaving the security of his kingdom to his more capable brother-in-law Harold Godwinson, the powerful Earl of Wessex. Against this backdrop we meet Wulfhere, a Sussex thegn who, as the sun sets over the wild forest of Andredesweald, is returning home victoriously from a great battle in the north. Holding his lands directly from the King, his position demands loyalty to Edward himself, but Wulfhere is duty-bound to also serve Harold, a bond forged within Wulfhere's family heritage and borne of the ancient Teutonic ideology of honour and loyalty. Wulfhere is a man with the strength and courage of a bear, a warrior whose loyalty to his lord and king is unquestionable. He is also a man who holds his family dear and would do anything to protect them. So when Harold demands that he wed his daughter to the son of Helghi, his sworn enemy, Wulfhere has to find a way to save his daughter from a life of certain misery in the household of the cruel and resentful Helghi without compromising his honour and loyalty to his lord, Harold. Sons of the Wolf is a panoramic snapshot of medieval life and politics as the events that lead to the downfall of Anglo Saxon England play out, immersing the reader in the tapestry of life as it was before the Doomsday Book. With depictions of everyday life experienced through the minds of the peoples of the time; of feasts in the Great Halls to battles fought in the countryside, it cannot help but enlighten, educate and entertain.

Download or read book Anti Heimat Cinema written by Ofer Ashkenazi and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-Heimat Cinema: The Jewish Invention of the German Landscape studies an overlooked yet fundamental element of German popular culture in the twentieth century. In tracing Jewish filmmakers’ contemplations of “Heimat”—a provincial German landscape associated with belonging and authenticity—it analyzes their distinctive contribution to the German identity discourse between 1918 and 1968. In its emphasis on rootedness and homogeneity Heimat seemed to challenge the validity and significance of Jewish emancipation. Several acculturation-seeking Jewish artists and intellectuals, however, endeavored to conceive a notion of Heimat that would rather substantiate their belonging. This book considers Jewish filmmakers’ contribution to this endeavor. It shows how they devised the landscapes of the German “Homeland” as Jews, namely, as acculturated “outsiders within.” Through appropriation of generic Heimat imagery, the films discussed in the book integrate criticism of national chauvinism into German mainstream culture from World War I to the Cold War. Consequently, these Jewish filmmakers anticipated the anti-Heimat film of the ensuing decades, and functioned as an uncredited inspiration for the critical New German Cinema.

Download or read book Spy Chiefs Volume 2 written by Paul Maddrell and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history and across cultures, the spy chief has been a leader of the state security apparatus and an essential adviser to heads of state. In democracies, the spy chief has become a public figure, and intelligence activities have been brought under the rule of law. In authoritarian regimes, however, the spy chief was and remains a frightening and opaque figure who exercises secret influence abroad and engages in repression at home. This second volume of Spy Chiefs goes beyond the commonly studied spy chiefs of the United States and the United Kingdom to examine leaders from Renaissance Venice to the Soviet Union, Germany, India, Egypt, and Lebanon in the twentieth century. It provides a close-up look at intelligence leaders, good and bad, in the different political contexts of the regimes they served. The contributors to the volume try to answer the following questions: how do intelligence leaders operate in these different national, institutional and historical contexts? What role have they played in the conduct of domestic affairs and international relations? How much power have they possessed? How have they led their agencies and what qualities make an effective intelligence leader? How has their role differed according to the political character of the regime they have served? The profiles in this book range from some of the most notorious figures in modern history, such as Feliks Dzerzhinsky and Erich Mielke, to spy chiefs in democratic West Germany and India.
