Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: In the tapestry of existence, where the threads of time wove a complex dance, emerged a figure unlike any other — Xander, the multi-dimensional time traveler. His presence was a whisper in the cosmic winds, a shimmer in the fabric of reality, for he had mastered the ancient and elusive art of pausing time. Millennia unfurled like the pages of an eternal book as Xander delved into the mysteries of existence. His quest for knowledge led him to celestial beings, guardians of realms beyond mortal comprehension. Amongst the ethereal, he learned the intricacies of temporal manipulation, threading through the frozen moments of existence with an otherworldly grace. Among the celestial beings, Xander sought out masters in the enigmatic frozen reality that only a chosen few could navigate. Master Bruce Lee, a legend in the martial arts, became the guide to physical and mental prowess. Under the tutelage of Bruce Lee, Xander harnessed the energy that resonated within his very being. Master Buddha, serene and enlightened, imparted timeless wisdom transcending the boundaries of time itself. Xander learned to find balance amidst the chaos, drawing from the well of inner peace that Buddha revealed. In the shadow of ancient mountains, Master Po, the Dragon Warrior, bestowed upon Xander the secrets of combat and the essence of courage. Po, with a touch of humor and the wisdom of ages, became a beacon in the frozen tapestry of Xander's existence. Little did Xander know that his journey through the epochs had silent witnesses — the "Vampires of Light." Immortal beings, devoted to preserving the delicate balance of existence, they observed Xander's mastery from the celestial shadows. Their radiant glow concealed eons of wisdom, and their purpose was as mysterious as the dimensions through which Xander traversed. As the cosmic clock ticked in the silent corridors of eternity, Xander stood at the crossroads of time, a weaver of moments, a seeker of balance. The celestial beings, the legendary masters, and the silent observers prepared to play their parts in the unfolding epic that spanned the ages. The stage was set, and Xander, the time traveler, prepared to unravel the secrets of the boundless tapestry that lay before him.

Download or read book On Beckett written by S. E. Gontarski and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “On Beckett: Essays and Criticism” is the first collection of writings about the Nobel Prize–winning author that covers the entire spectrum of his work, and also affords a rare glimpse of the private Beckett. More has been written about Samuel Beckett than about any other writer of this century – countless books and articles dealing with him are in print, and the progression continues geometrically. “On Beckett” brings together some of the most perceptive writings from the vast amount of scrutiny that has been lavished on the man; in addition to widely read essays there are contributions from more obscure sources, viewpoints not frequently seen. Together they allow the reader to enter the world of a writer whose work has left an impact on the consciousness of our time perhaps unmatched by that of any other recent creative imagination.

Download or read book Hart Crane s Poetry written by John T. Irwin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of his letters Hart Crane wrote, "Appollinaire lived in Paris, I live in Cleveland, Ohio," comparing—misspelling and all—the great French poet’s cosmopolitan roots to his own more modest ones in the midwestern United States. Rebelling against the notion that his work should relate to some European school of thought, Crane defiantly asserted his freedom to be himself, a true American writer. John T. Irwin, long a passionate and brilliant critic of Crane, gives readers the first major interpretation of the poet’s work in decades. Irwin aims to show that Hart Crane’s epic The Bridge is the best twentieth-century long poem in English. Irwin convincingly argues that, compared to other long poems of the century, The Bridge is the richest and most wide-ranging in its mythic and historical resonances, the most inventive in its combination of literary and visual structures, the most subtle and compelling in its psychological underpinnings. Irwin brings a wealth of new and varied scholarship to bear on his critical reading of the work—from art history to biography to classical literature to philosophy—revealing The Bridge to be the near-perfect synthesis of American myth and history that Crane intended. Irwin contends that the most successful entryway to Crane’s notoriously difficult shorter poems is through a close reading of The Bridge. Having admirably accomplished this, Irwin analyzes Crane’s poems in White Buildings and his last poem, "The Broken Tower," through the larger context of his epic, showing how Crane, in the best of these, worked out the structures and images that were fully developed in The Bridge. Thoughtful, deliberate, and extraordinarily learned, this is the most complete and careful reading of Crane’s poetry available. Hart Crane may have lived in Cleveland, Ohio, but, as Irwin masterfully shows, his poems stand among the greatest written in the English language.

Download or read book The Arguments of Aquinas written by J.J. MacIntosh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arguments of Aquinas is intended for readers with philosophical interests, who may not be specialists in medieval philosophy. Some think that a medieval saint must be, as such, wrong, dated, and boring; others feel that a saint, any saint, must be right, relevant, and inspirational. Both groups are likely to misread Aquinas, if indeed they read him at all. The works of great philosophers are products of their times, but that does not lessen their value for us. We profit by reading the works of St Thomas in the same interested but critical way that we read the works of our contemporaries. MacIntosh does not hesitated to compare Thomas's arguments with those of later philosophers as well as with those of his contemporaries and earlier philosophers. He chooses topics from a variety of still interesting problem areas: the existence and attributes of God, including God's foreknowledge and human free will, causality and the origin of the universe, time and necessity, human souls, angels, and the problem of evil. Additionally, the volume looks at his views on honesty and lying, and on human sexuality, on which he is, as ever, philosophically interesting whether or not we accept his conclusions.
Download or read book History and the Contemporary Novel written by David Cowart and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cowart presents a study of international historical fiction since World War II, with reflections on the affinities between historical and fictional narrative, analysis of the basic modes of historical fiction, and readings of a number of historical novels, including John Barth’s The Sot-Weed Factor, Marguerite Yourcenar’s Memoirs of Hadrian, Russell Hoban’s Riddley Walker, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa’s The Leopard, D. M. Thomas’s The White Hotel, William Faulkner’s Go Down, Moses, and Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose. He proposes recognizing four modes of the historical novel: the past as a "distant mirror" of the present, fictions whose authors seek to pinpoint the precise historical moment when the modern age or some prominent feature of it came into existence, fictions whose authors aspire purely or largely to historical verisimilitude, and fictions whose authors reverse history to contemplate utopia and dystopia in the future. Thus, historical fiction can be organized under the rubrics: The Distant Mirror; The Turning Point; The Way It Was; and The Way It Will Be. This fourfold schema and his focus on postwar novels set Cowart’s work apart from previous studies, which have not devoted adequate space to the contemporary historical novel. Cowart argues that postwar historical fiction merits more extensive treatment because it is the product of an age unique in the annals of history—an age in which history itself may end.
