She has done in again. Another book on its way to be a movie, we hope. The book is a definite page turner with incredible characters. Some characters are likeable, some are loved, and well, let's just say that you can be the judge. It's an amazing book that has me still thinking about it. I would love to have been a fly in the story. No, not a fly, but, a beautiful butterfly! The scenery is so beautiful and the fruits are the sweetest smelling and tasting. I love the book very much, I can't wait to read the next one. The author s so talented I wish I could have just a spec of her imagination. To write a book is hard enough, but, then to make it come to life. Wow!" Anne

Download or read book War in Greek Mythology written by Paul Chrystal and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the Greek mythological wars between Olympians, Titans, giants, centaurs, lapiths and humans, and their significant influence on later cultures. Even though war and conflict generally feature prominently in Greek mythology, comparatively little has been written on the subject. This is surprising because wars and battles in Greek mythology are freighted with symbolism and laden with meaning and significance—historical, political, social and cultural. The gods and goddesses of war are prominent members of the Greek pantheon: the battles fought by and between Olympians, Titans, giants and Amazons, between centaurs and lapiths, were pivotal in Greek civilization. The Trojan War itself had huge and far-reaching consequences for subsequent Greek culture. The ubiquity of war themes in the Greek myths reflects the prominence of war in everyday Greek life and society, which makes the relative obscurity of published literature all the more puzzling. This book redresses this by showing how conflict in mythology and legend resonated loudly as essential, existentialist even, symbols in Greek culture and how they are represented in classical literature, philosophy, religion, feminism, art, statuary, ceramics, architecture, numismatics, etymology, astronomy, even vulcanology. Praise for War in Greek Mythology “An excellent study of the more military of the Greek myths, telling the stories while also acknowledging the many different versions of so many of them, and also the varying attitudes of the ancient Greeks to these stories.” —History of War
Download or read book Reportage from Ancient Greece and Rome written by Paul Chrystal and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and truly unique survey of two of the world's most significant and influential civilisations spanning some 2000 years from the development of the Greek alphabet to the sack of Rome and a dinner date with Attila the Hun in 450 CE. Some ninety Greeks and Romans have contributed to the book with reports culled from 130 separate works. In addition to literary sources--history, letters, poetry, drama, science, medicine, philosophy--the book also mines epigraphy, graffiti, archaeology and the visual arts to give as rounded a reportage as possible. 'Modern' contributions come from the Bamboo Annals, Shakespeare, Raleigh, Browning, Heine, Houseman, Orwell, the Ventris Papers and from the excavations at Pompeii, Vindolanda and the London Bloomberg site.
Download or read book Ensemble written by Jasveer Singh Dangi and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had no specific topic in my mind when I started writing this book. Each time the 'hat' (my brain) initiated its magic, it brought out something new, just like a magician's hat. This book is a collection of random stories which bear no connection with each other. Some are a creation of my weird imagination while others are random thoughts and precious memories. It also comprises some stories from my life. It has something for everyone-from adventure to thriller to horror to everyday life situations- sometimes involving confused thoughts, motivational articles and essays, and some of my childhood stories from the 80s. The 'Ensemble' is my first attempt at creating an anthology and compiling different stories in a single book. It is an attempt to cook a perfect magic potion through various stories by mixing different emotional ingredients. Just say abracadabra and teleport into a world full of stories. See you on the other side!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully presented hardcover collection of folklore and stories of legendary and historical witches from all over the world, with over 80 stunning, spooky illustrations. The perfect gift for the witchy people in your life. For many centuries the figure of the witch has haunted our imagination and our nightmares. There have been many attempts to quash our fascination with these wielders of forbidden powers, but all have failed. We invite you now on a journey through a moonlit world, where every shadow tells a tale of magic, persecution and persistence. In this beautifully illustrated volume, discover witches real and legendary, who once terrorized, devoured, helped or empowered their communities, but who are now largely forgotten. Ten chapters introduce ten different categories of witches, from curse-bringers, shape-shifters and survivors to revenants, nature witches and fate-turners. Most, but far from all, are women, and their stories come from across the world. Each chapter is linked to a different card of the Major Arcana and to a stage in the alchemical process of turning base metal to gold. In this way, as you learn about the witches, you will complete a journey of self-discovery and transformation, gleaning wisdom and empowerment from the awe-inspiring magical practitioners of folk tradition and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cressida Curtain doesn’t let much get under her skin when it comes to bounty hunting. In fact, there’s only one person who can really ruffle her fur: her work nemesis, Gavin St. Cloud. Still, she’s a natural at her job, and she’s been offered an exclusive high-stakes bounty to prove it. There’s just one problem: this bounty may have a link to her family’s history, and she has serious doubts about the guilt of the person she’s been hired to hunt. Now it’s a race to find the truth before any other hunters find the bounty first. And the truth may be messier than even Cressida imagined. She might need some help from the last person she’d ever ask–if he’s trustworthy enough.
