Book excerpt: Top Shelf Productions is proud to announce the first full-length graphic novel from the Xeric-winning Scott Mills. With his sensitive take on humanity and his completely original artistic vision, we expect this thoughtful tale of early Japan to prove quite popular. It has been several thousand years since the end of the last ice age. The waters have warmed and risen, excising great portions of East Asia, while simultaneously creating the cluster of islands we now know as Japan. Across this modest new body of water came many immigrants. Some sought freedom. Some sought fortune. When Sun Kim came from Korea to Kyuushuu, the southern-most of the four largest islands of Japan, she was simply looking for a fresh start. Complete with panel-by-panel Japanese-language translations, to boot!

Download or read book Kunim written by Delia J. Nzekwu and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-09-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set within the cultural and geographical framework of Nigeria, Kunim: Raise Me Up is a collection of not-so-short stories that examine universal themes, such as discrimination and familial discord, as well as culturally specific biases, beliefs, and traditions, as it takes its readers on three very distinct but equally enlightening journeys. In “Fate,” two young, motherless sisters are forced to navigate the often-tumultuous waters of intra-cultural stereotyping and discrimination while their father is away on business. “Shadows” tells the story of a young Nigerian businessman, currently living in the United States, who returns to his home village and falls for a beautiful young woman whose mysterious nature has him rethinking everything he’d thought he understood about himself, the world, and the nature of the supernatural. And finally, in “Eyes that Speak,” a young girl whose parents perpetually keep themselves too busy to even notice her, let alone the unravelling of their own marriage, is feeling disconnected, alone, and fed up with the world until an unexpected kindness from a supposed adversary changes absolutely everything (though perhaps not for the better). Whether the Nigerian culture is your own, familiar to your own, or nothing like your own, the heart of this collection is the universality of the themes, shining a light into the depth of mankind’s complicated nature and how we cope with living as disparate collections of individuals among the larger multitudes, juggling cultural traditions, expectations, and our own instinctive need to belong.
Download or read book Deepest Springs written by NMM Duman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story centres around Dikeledi, a young girl in the independent homeland of Transkei, one of the Bantustans of the former apartheid era in South Africa. The Sotho tribe is in the minority in this area and culture still plays a very big role in the villages. Education is not a priority for most of the people there, so when Dikeledi meets and falls in love with a youth in high school, she is confused by his ambitions to study further and go to university. They marry despite the fact that her husbands mother hates her, mainly due to the fact that Dikeledi is not traditionally considered beautiful, comes from a poor home and her family is not known in the village, neither is she a relative. Apartheid laws ensure that, even when Dikeledis husband wants to take her with him to Johannesburg, without valid documents, it is near impossible for her to live with him, and she has to endure her mother-in-laws abuse.
Download or read book Prelude to a Legend written by D. A. Wust and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prophesies are revealed. The time is nearing. Can you feel the quickening? Dirty dark evil. Under tattered cloak. Black eyes and meddling finger tips. Ever seeking. Stopping at nothing to find the way back to it's master. Hidden behind the shadow of its false faade. Wearing the mask of a mortal. Fearing that the Prelude to a Legend is near. In this fast-paced, character-driven novel, Prelude to a Legend, author D.A. Wust captures the essence of life caught in turmoil and suffering and makes you watch as each character finds their way through it. In this epic action-packed thriller, it is a race on the storm's front of spiritual warfare. A race to destroy the world of God's creation before the Prelude to a Legend appears. A demon persists against one man. A man chosen by God to set apart his differences and his beliefs to follow him. To stand against the pestilence and save the sacred scrolls protected by an ancient foreign people. To reign victory over and stare in the eyes of the beast without his own convictions to intercede. To bring hope and good tidings to a world ravaged by wickedness. Thus, the Prelude to a Legend begins. 'Not by the hand of revenge, God's will is carried, but by the hand of faith we will prevail!' D.A. Wust has a longing to witness to those who share in life's difficulties and is passionate about using his abilities to minister to those who do not yet believe. He resides in the Midwest along with his wife, Kristina, and four children.

The region is infested with mayhem and arms struggle by the militants who claimed to be freedom fighters due to oil pollution and age-long neglects that turned the region into a haven for crimes and hostility. At the heat of the arms struggle, killings, kidnapping, hostage-taking, pipeline vandals, bunkering, and all sorts of vices that were difficult for the Nigerian security forces to curb, the USS Emory S Land with three special agents were sent by the American government to help train the Nigerian forces to curtail the militancy and all sorts of crime in the creek region. The special agents were instructed to avoid confrontation with the militants, but to train and offer strategic support to the Nigerian forces. The rules of engagement were later reviewed as the militants were on a rampage which led to a full-scale military operation. In this book, you will observe the display of struggle, conspiracy, power and character that resulted in a successful operation that brought peace back to the region.
