Download or read book Renaissance Military Memoirs written by Yuval N. Harari and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance military memoirs studied for what they reveal of contemporary attitudes towards war, selfhood and identity. This is a study of autobiographical writings of Renaissance soldiers. It outlines the ways in which they reflect Renaissance cultural, political and historical consciousness, with a particular focus on conceptions of war, history, selfhood and identity. A vivid picture of Renaissance military life and military mentality emerges, which sheds light on the attitude of Renaissance soldiers both towards contemporary historical developments such as the rise of the modern state, and towards such issues as comradeship, women, honor, violence, and death. Comparison with similar medieval and twentieth-century material highlights the differences in the Renaissance soldier's understanding of war and of human experience.

Download or read book Witchcraft Part Three written by Zelma Gonzalez and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the years in all the corners of the world, we were all raised in different types of religion, may it be in learning about God, the Virgin Mary, the saints like Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Saint Anthony, Saints Lazaro, Saint Michael of Archangel, Gods right hand man, and so on. Way before that, there were gods and goddesses of the heaven, like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, and many more. But if you come to see, there are the same gods, goddesses, and saints, but with different names, like Hades, who is, in our time, called Lucifer, the Devil. We also call the saints the seven African power like Chango, Ochen, Orula, Yemaya, Obatala, Ogun, and Elegua. Olofi is another name for Jesus, but they do run by many names. People nowadays worship the gods, goddesses, and saints through witchcraft, Wicca, which is not all bad. They just have different beliefs in how to worship them. We also worship them in churches, temples, and in our homes. If you come to see, God is everywhere; you just have to find him in your heart. Hes always there when you need him, and his word of advice is nobody is perfect. This story is based on love, romance, the supernatural, good versus evil, and how the gods, goddesses, and saints got together and gifted a child that crossed over too many times to fight right alongside of them without anyone noticing it. Along the way, she makes many mistakes and helps everyone she meets. She is one of many Gods angels. Shes also a witch, but in a different way not what you expected. Iris is tall, slender, light complexion, has long brunette hair, and the most beautiful light-brown eyes you will ever see. She was born on Hallow Eve, right on midnight; her destiny leads her to an adventure she will never forget. She was gifted by the gods, goddesses, and saints to help people with their problem. Her mother realizes what she can do and gets scared, knowing if people find out, they will hurt her or, worse and other, will treat her differently. Her mother ends up binding her power in an early age so she can live a normal life, not realizing the consequence of her action. Only her family and some friends know her secret that she has helped along the way and kept it. Eventually Iris gets very sick at the age of eight. She is getting ready to pass away, but something happens that changes her destiny. Her mother realizes what she has done and has no choice, but to give her back to the gods, goddesses, and saints. To save her life knowing what she did, she asks for forgiveness, leaving herself in Gods hand and promising not to interfere. Iriss world opens up in a different way, and once again, destiny interferes, changing her course, awaking her in a dangerous way. She goes through hell and back along the way and meets the most interesting people. She has a heart of gold, and danger follows her everywhere. She learns what friendship is, what betrayal is, and how people in this world possess the seven deadly sins and more. I hope you enjoy her story as much as I loved writing it. But beware, everything is not what it shows themselves to be, and Iris finds out the hard way.

Download or read book Revolutionary Brain written by Harold Jaffe and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely collection of essays and "quasi-essays," acclaimed novelist and critic Harold Jaffe explores the intricate vicissitudes of millennial culture. Gesturing, in a philosophical shorthand, toward a kind of pop Armageddon, Revolutionary Brain is at once thesis, allegory, and surreal comedy, demonstrating just how far we, and the natural world we have debased, have fallen. Obsessed with technology, we are incapable of reconstructing ourselves. By way of Jaffe's elegant prose and perfect pitch, our collective disability is laid bare at the 11th hour. REVOLUTIONARY BRAIN is a powerful cry for a brave new aesthetics that turns towards, not away, from our tormented globe.

Book excerpt: Angel Chacon is an ex-Mexican Rurale turned gunslinger and bounty hunter. As a Rurale, he learned how to track men, renegade Indians, bandits, and cattle rustlers. As a bounty hunter, he went after the most dangerous wanted men—those with an especially high price on their heads. Admired by many and also hated by many, he cut a dashing figure in the saloons of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico—two border towns separated by the Rio Grande. Known as El Mexicano, his speed with a six-gun was often compared to that of gunfighter Johnny Ringo. Though the two have never met. When Angel’s ex-lover Elena was kidnapped by renegade Indians, he vowed to track them down and save her. If she had been killed, he vowed to avenge her death. Angel tracked the renegades through the desert badlands, killing them one by one until only the leader of the renegades was left. Angel faced him in a fight to the death.

Download or read book Encuentro written by Trevor Boffone and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology has its origins in the Encuentro theater festival, which was produced by the Latino Theater Company in association with the Latinx Theatre Commons in Los Angeles in 2014. Encuentro means “an encounter,” and meetings form a core theme in these six groundbreaking plays, each prefaced by a critical introduction from a leading Latinx theater scholar. Playwrights Ruben C. Gonzalez, José Torres-Tama, Rickerby Hinds, Mariana Carreño King, Javier Antonio González, and Evelina Fernández exhibit a wide range of aesthetic approaches, dramatic structures, and themes, ranging from marriage, gentrification, racial and gendered violence, migration, and the ever-present politics of the U.S.–Mexico border. There is power in the communal experience of creating, witnessing, and participating in theater festivals. This anthology is a testament to that power and seeks to document the historic festival as well as to make these works available to a wider audience. Encuentro: Latinx Performance for the New American Theater addresses interests of general audiences committed to the performing arts; scholars and students of Latinx, gender, and ethnic studies; university, college, and high school theater programs; and regional theaters looking to diversify their programming.

Download or read book Fire Blood written by T. R. Fehrenbach and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican history comes to life in this “fascinating” work by the author of Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans (The Christian Science Monitor). Fire & Blood brilliantly depicts the succession of tribes and societies that have variously called Mexico their home, their battleground, and their legacy. This is the tale of the indigenous people who forged from this rugged terrain a wide-ranging civilization; of the Olmec, Maya, Toltec, and Aztec dynasties, which exercised their sophisticated powers through bureaucracy and religion; of the Spanish conquistadors, whose arrival heralded death, disease, and a new vision of continental domination. Author T. R. Fehrenbach connects these threads with the story of modern-day, independent Mexico, a proud nation struggling to balance its traditions against opportunities that often seem tantalizingly out of reach. From the Mesoamerican empires to the Spanish Conquest and the Mexican Revolution, peopled by the legendary personalities of Mexican history—Montezuma, Cortés, Santa Anna, Juárez, Maximilian, Díaz, Pancho Villa, and Zapata—Fire & Blood is a “deftly organized and well-researched” work of popular history (Library Journal).

Download or read book A Knight s Own Book of Chivalry written by Geoffroi de Charny and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the great influence of a valiant lord: "The companions, who see that good warriors are honored by the great lords for their prowess, become more determined to attain this level of prowess." On the lady who sees her knight honored: "All of this makes the noble lady rejoice greatly within herself at the fact that she has set her mind and heart on loving and helping to make such a good knight or good man-at-arms." On the worthiest amusements: "The best pastime of all is to be often in good company, far from unworthy men and from unworthy activities from which no good can come." Enter the real world of knights and their code of ethics and behavior. Read how an aspiring knight of the fourteenth century would conduct himself and learn what he would have needed to know when traveling, fighting, appearing in court, and engaging fellow knights. Composed at the height of the Hundred Years War by Geoffroi de Charny, one of the most respected knights of his age, A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry was designed as a guide for members of the Company of the Star, an order created by Jean II of France in 1352 to rival the English Order of the Garter. This is the most authentic and complete manual on the day-to-day life of the knight that has survived the centuries, and this edition contains a specially commissioned introduction from historian Richard W. Kaeuper that gives the history of both the book and its author, who, among his other achievements, was the original owner of the Shroud of Turin.

Download or read book Brazilian Folktales written by Livia Maria M. de Almeida and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich brew of more than 40 traditional Brazilian tales—from creation stories and stories of enchantment to animal and trickster tales—draws on the varied cultural traditions of indigenous peoples, people of African descent, those of European (and particularly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups. The stories are retold by today's accomplished Brazilian storytellers. Also includes background information on the country and the tales, color photographs, traditional recipes, and children's games. Brazil, the largest country in South America, covers a vast terrain that ranges from the tropical rain forests of the Amazon basin and upland farms, to towering mountains and sandy beaches; from highly populated urban centers to virtually inaccessible interior jungle regions. Its population is composed of indigenous peoples (e.g., Tupy, Kaxinawa, Taulipang), people of African descent, those of European (mostly Portuguese) descent, and mixtures of these groups. Drawing on the varied cultural traditions and ethnic diversity of the country, this collection offers readers a rich brew of traditional Brazilian tales—from creation stories and stories of enchantment to animal and trickster tales. More than 40 stories are included, along with background information, color photographs, recipes, and games. There are very few collections of Brazilian folktales currently available in English, and none with this depth and range. This is a wonderful treasury for storytellers, folklorists, and educators. Also a great resource for educators planning units on the Amazon rain forest! All grade levels.
