Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No longer was Brierwood the sanctuary Rose Quennel had cherished all her young life. Her beloved home had become a place of whispering shadows and blossoming fear. Night after night, against her will, a faceless figure crept into her room, into her very dreams, murmuring to her, caressing her, tempting her to taste unknown pleasures and unsuspected desires ... And it was clear that the shadows had begun to spread over Brierwood the day Taylor Wolfe had arrived. The strange, bitter man seemed to haunt her every waking moment--but could he also be the night creature who had taken possession of her dreams? Her heart cried out against the thought--even as she trembled at the coming darkness ..."--Provided by publisher

Download or read book The Holocaust Sites of Europe written by Martin Winstone and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holocaust – the murder of approximately six million Jewish men, women and children by Nazi Germany and its collaborators in the Second World War – was a crime of unprecedented and unparalleled proportions, perpetrated in innumerable locations across the European continent. Now in its third edition, The Holocaust Sites of Europe is the most comprehensive and accessible guide to these sites, serving as both a work of historical reference and a practical resource for visitors to them today. It includes all major Holocaust sites in Europe, covering more than 20 countries and encompassing not only iconic locations such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen, but also lesser known yet similarly significant sites like Maly Trostenets and Sajmište. It addresses extermination, forced labour and concentration camps, massacre sites, and cities which were homes to major Jewish populations and – often – ghettos, as well as Nazi 'euthanasia' centres and locations associated with the genocide of Roma and Sinti. In so doing, the book also covers the many museums and memorials which commemorate the Holocaust. This new edition has been fully updated to reflect developments which have affected sites in the 2010s and 2020s, ranging from the establishment of new museums to growing threats from climate change and state-sponsored distortion of history. The Holocaust Sites of Europe is thus an indispensable and sensitive guide to both the history and the modern reality of the most traumatic sites in European history."
Download or read book Mists of Regret written by Dudley Andrew and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just before World War II, French cinema reached a high point that has been dubbed the style of "poetic realism." Working with unforgettable actors like Jean Gabin and Arletty, directors such as Renoir, Carné, Gremillon, Duvivier, and Chenal routinely captured the prizes for best film at every festival and in every country, and their accomplishments led to general agreement that the French were the first to give maturity to the sound cinema. Here the distinguished film scholar Dudley Andrew examines the motivations and consequences of these remarkable films by looking at the cultural web in which they were made. Beyond giving a rich view of the life and worth of cinema in France, Andrew contributes substantially to our knowledge of how films are dealt with in history. Where earlier studies have treated the masterpieces of this era either in themselves or as part of the vision of their creators, and where certain recent scholars have reacted to this by dissolving the masterpieces back into the system of entertainment that made them possible, Andrew stresses the dialogue of culture and cinema. In his view, the films open questions that take us into the culture, while our understanding of the culture gives energy, direction, and consequence to our reading of the films. The book demonstrates the value of this hermeneutic approach for one set of texts and one period, but it should very much interest film theorists and film historians of all sorts.

Download or read book Prejudice in Love written by Stephen Box and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A loving relationship can be defined as two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other. But what if ignorance and alienation become a dominant force within and external prejudice becomes a barrier? Cis, a beautiful, coloured twenty-eight-year-old fashion writer, and Andy, a twenty-eight-year-old Scottish businessman, have been together since university days and married for two years. Both are inexperienced lovers, too busy to care, and are sleepwalking their way to divorce over the desire for a child. Whilst escaping a storm, Cis has a chance meeting with a much older and significantly more experienced professional man, Paul. Whilst sheltering her from the storm, Paul realises her dilemma and starts to educate her in the skills and delights that she so needs for a successful marriage. She wants more, including giving her his child, much against his better judgment as he has a painful history regarding wives and children. Then she wants Paul as well in spite of the clear prejudice that such a relationship would foster for both of them in society. And she will go to any length to keep him. This is a story of prejudice, generational value differences, and want over need, regardless of the consequences, in a culture of ‘I want it all, and I want it now’.

When Joe is hired by the eccentric Mrs. Merrynether as an errand boy at her remarkable veterinary practice—a hidden refuge for a menagerie of creatures that should only exist in dreams and legend—he soon learns that she has a startling plan for his future: he is destined to command an army of beasts to protect humanity from the Conclave—a brutal council of dragons hiding on a distant island. But Joe is plunged into his new role prematurely when the callous tycoon Argoyle Redwar, who has a secret menagerie of his own, tricks Mrs. Merrynether into revealing the location of the island. Overcoming his fears, the school bully, and an escaped creature on the loose in his own village, Joe races to the island to stop Redwar from provoking the dragons to war. He takes the most bizarre team imaginable: Lilly, the surly alcoholic cluricaun; Danariel, the seraph who lives in a lightbulb; Flarp, the giant flying eyeball who can’t control his excitement; Kiyoshi, the narcoleptic kappa with an extraordinary vocabulary; Snappel, the fiery wyvern plagued by hiccups; and Cornelius, the poisoned manticore. Together with newfound allies on the island, the champions are forced into an epic battle against fantastic odds, facing not only the Conclave but Redwar as he seeks total control.
