Excerpt: ...would meet Raja Maun on the shores of the lake by Udaipur. When the Raja and all his train reached the spot, there were the nobles of Mewar, and at their head was Umra, Pertap's eldest son; the Rana himself was nowhere to be seen. A feast was made ready, and Umra courteously begged Maun Singh and his followers to sit and eat; he would be their host, he said, since the Rana was suffering from violent headache, and could not appear to welcome his guests. Every one present knew as well as Umra that the true reason was that Pertap would not break bread with one who had allied himself with Delhi. "Tell the Rana I can guess the cause of his headache," retorted Maun Singh, " but no man can take his place. If he will not be my host, who will?" Pertap's answer to this message was clear and plain. "I may not eat with one who has given his sister to a Toork, and himself eats with Toorks." In wrath and shame Raja Maun rose from his place, leaving the feast untasted. "No food from your hand will I take," he cried, "save the grains of rice which must be offered to the gods. It was to save your honour that we sacrificed our own, and gave our sisters and our daughters to the Toork; abide in peril if you will; this country shall not hold you long." He gave the signal to his followers to mount their horses, and was about to ride away when the Rana himself strode down to see the last of his guests. At the sight of Pertap, scarred, haggard, his dress weather-stained and his arms hacked and dinted, yet a king manifest, Raja Maun's anger blazed forth--" If I do not humble your pride," he swore aloud, "my name is not Maun." Pertap's reply was calm and dignified--" I shall ever rejoice to...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1936, the monarchy faced the greatest threats to its survival in the modern era – the crisis of abdication and the menace of Nazism. The fate of the country rested in the hands of George V's sorely unequipped sons: Edward VIII abandoned his throne to marry divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson; Prince Henry preferred the sporting life of a country squire; the glamorous and hedonistic Prince George, Duke of Kent, was considered a wild card; and stammering George VI felt himself woefully unprepared for the demanding role of King. As Hitler's Third Reich tore up the boundaries of Europe and Britain braced itself for war, the new king struggled to manage internal divisions within the royal family. Drawing on many new sources including from the Royal Archives, Princes at War goes behind the palace doors to tell the thrilling drama of Britain at war.

Download or read book I Would Die 4 U written by Touré and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive and insightful exploration of one of the most iconic and electrifying artists ever, this book reveals the stunning, multi-generational influence and appeal of Prince and his revered music—from celebrated journalist, author, and host of the popular podcast The Touré Show. Infused with Touré’s unique pop-culture fluency, I Would Die 4 U is as passionate and radical as its subject matter. Building on his lifelong admiration for Prince’s oeuvre and interviews with those closest to the late artist, including band members, his tour manager, and music and Bible scholars, Touré deconstructs the life and work of the enigmatic icon who has been both a reflective mirror of and inspirational force for America. By defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, but also presenting a very conventional conception of religion and God, Prince was a man of profound contradictions. He spoke in the language of 60s pop and soul to a generation fearing Cold War apocalypse and the crack and AIDS epidemic, while simultaneously being both an MTV megastar and a religious evangelist. He creatively blended his songs with images of sex and profanity to invite us into a musical conversation about the healing power of God and religion. By demystifying Prince as a man, an artist, and a cultural force, I Would Die 4 U shows us how he impacted and defined a generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next middle-grade rhyming novel from the award-winning author of Zorgamazoo! Prince Puggly of the muddy, terminally unfashionable Kingdom of Spud is surprised when he receives an invitation to a lavish ball in the far more chic Kingdom of Spiff. Puggly is sure that the Spiffs will take one look at him and laugh him out of their kingdom. And that’s exactly what they do. . . . But then Puggly meets Francesca, the bookish Princess of Spiff, and together the two set out to teach Francesca’s Spiffian countrymen an absurd lesson in style. Award-winning author Robert Paul Weston once again delivers a humorous fantasy in rhyming verse that just begs to be read aloud. And this time, it comes with a message that’s sure to impress: There’s more to a person than how they are dressed.
