Download or read book Young God written by Katherine Faw Morris and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stripped down and stylized—the sharpest, boldest, brashest debut of the year Meet Nikki, the most determined young woman in the North Carolina hills. Determined not to let deadbeats and dropouts set her future. Determined to use whatever tools she can get her hands on to shape the world to her will. Determined to preserve her family's domination of the local drug trade. Nikki is thirteen years old. Opening with a deadly plunge from a high cliff into a tiny swimming hole, Young God refuses to slow down for a moment as it charts Nikki's battles against isolation and victimhood. Nikki may be young, but she's a fast learner, and soon—perhaps too soon, if in fact it's not too late—she knows exactly how to wield her powers over the people around her. The only thing slowing her down is the inheritance she's been promised but can't seem to find, buried somewhere deep in those hills and always just out of reach. With prose stripped down to its bare essence, brash and electrifying, brutal yet starkly beautiful, Katherine Faw Morris's Young God is a debut that demands your attention and won't be forgotten—just like Nikki, who will cut you if you let that attention waver.

His brother talks to spiders, his girlfriend hears voices from the future, the boy across the street walks on water, and his best friend is Death herself. He's the odd, talentless one in the group but that's okay with him because he's a coward. It's a strange (but, so far, safe) life for Tryal. Their peaceful existence comes to an end when terrifed Death begs Tryal to protect a little girl named Hood. Even worse, Death forgot to tell him about the Cinders, relentless shadow wolves with eyes of flames, pursuing the girl. Tryal and his friends flee their sleepy Nebraska town with Hood but soon make a frightening discovery: the girl is wanted by far darker forces that threaten both this world and the next. To make matters worse, a crazed duo of serial killers have now made Tryal their target of obsession. To solve the mystery that is Hood, and protect her, Tryal will have to face his fears and discover a great power hidden within himself . . . and it's the very reason Death has chosen him from the beginning.

Download or read book WHY DO HUMANS WORSHIP GODS written by Wilberforce Reid and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to United Nations statistics, 25,000 men, women, and innocent children worldwide die from starvation each day, yet the majority of us give praises and thanks to God every day for providing us with our daily bread. We do know (or should know) that millions of people were killed, including being burned at the stakes, because they did not conform to the official doctrine of the Christian Church. In spite of this, each day we sing about how loving and merciful God is to mankind. In the creation of our conscious mind, are we more susceptible to indoctrination than to logical and objective analysis of a subject? By exposing stories swept under the rug because of our unconscious bias, this book will uncover many uncomfortable truths.
Download or read book Cosmos and Perception in Plato s Timaeus written by Mark Eli Kalderon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a wide-ranging study on perception in the Timaeus, not only discussing senses such as touch, taste, and olfaction alongside audition and vision but also engaging with Timaeus’ wider cosmological project. Most studies of perception in the Timaeus focus on a few narrow passages on vision and audition. By taking the broader approach of this volume, important lessons about the nature of perception may be gleaned from Timaeus’ cosmogony, psychogony, and anthropogony. While there is an emerging modern consensus that the Timaeus should be read literally, this study argues against a literal interpretation of the spatial and kinetic properties of the soul in favour of a metaphorical understanding. Not only does this yield a rich account of the intentionality of cognition but also sheds light onto the nature of the soul-body union. In addition, this volume argues for the largely overlooked significance of Timaean anatomy, as it contributes to our understanding of the providential scheme of Timaeus’ cosmology more generally. Cosmos and Perception in Plato’s Timaeus is of interest to students and scholars of the Timaeus and Plato’s thought more broadly, as well as those working on ancient theories of perception and the philosophy of mind.
Download or read book Myths of Enki The Crafty God written by Samuel Noah Kramer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious and well-researched study brings together for the first time translations of the ancient literature concerning the Sumerian god Enki, one of four gods and goddesses who comprised the highest level of the Sumerian pantheon. The very existence of these writings, which date from the Third Millennium B.C., was unknown until about 100 years ago, when their cuneiform script was deciphered. Since then, it has become apparent that Sumerian literature had a profound and enduring influence on both Biblical and classical Greek literature, and so on the literature of the western world as a whole. Kramer, one of the world's leading sumerologists, has prepared these translations from among the scores of works he has published over the last fifty years; John Maier provides a full interpretive framework that places the translations in their broader comparative cultural context. This rare collection will be of interest to students and scholars in a wide range of disciplines from Near Eastern and Biblical Studies to Mythology and Comparative Literature.

Download or read book Ten Gods written by Emily Lyle and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various Indo-European branches had a shared linguistic and cultural origin in prehistory, and this book sets out to overcome the difficulties about understanding the gods who were inherited by the later literate cultures from this early “silent” period by modelling the kind of society where the gods could have come into existence. It presents the theory that there were ten gods, who are conceived of as reflecting the actual human organization of the originating time. There are clues in the surviving written records which reveal a society that had its basis in the three concepts of the sacred, physical force, and fertility (as argued earlier by the French scholar, Georges Dumézil). These concepts are now seen as corresponding to the old men, young men, and mature men of an age-grade system, and each of the three concepts and life stages is seen to relate to an old and a young god. In addition to these six gods, and to two kings who relate in positive and negative ways to the totality, there is a primal goddess who has a daughter as well as sons. The gods, like the humans of the posited prehistoric society, are seen as forming a four-generation set originating in an ancestress, and the theogony is explored through stories found in the Germanic, Celtic, Indian, and Greek contexts. The sources are often familiar ones, such as the Edda, the Mabinogi, Hesiod’s Theogony, and the Rāmāyaṇa, but selected components are looked at from a fresh angle and, taken together with less familiar and sometimes fragmentary materials, yield fresh perspectives which allow us to place the Indo-European cosmology as one of the world’s indigenous religions. We can also gain a much livelier sense of the original culture of Europe before it was overlaid by influences from the Near East in the period of literacy. The gods themselves continue to exert their fascination, and are shown to reflect a balance between the genders, between the living and the ancestors, and between peaceful and warlike aspects expressed at the human level in alternate succession to the kingship.
