Download or read book Lost Kingdom written by Julia Flynn Siler and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author delivers “a riveting saga about Big Sugar flexing its imperialist muscle in Hawaii . . . A real gem of a book” (Douglas Brinkley, author of American Moonshot). Deftly weaving together a memorable cast of characters, Lost Kingdom brings to life the clash between a vulnerable Polynesian people and relentlessly expanding capitalist powers. Portraits of royalty and rogues, sugar barons, and missionaries combine into a sweeping tale of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s rise and fall. At the center of the story is Lili‘uokalani, the last queen of Hawai‘i. Born in 1838, she lived through the nearly complete economic transformation of the islands. Lucrative sugar plantations gradually subsumed the majority of the land, owned almost exclusively by white planters, dubbed the “Sugar Kings.” Hawai‘i became a prize in the contest between America, Britain, and France, each seeking to expand their military and commercial influence in the Pacific. The monarchy had become a figurehead, victim to manipulation from the wealthy sugar plantation owners. Lili‘u was determined to enact a constitution to reinstate the monarchy’s power but was outmaneuvered by the United States. The annexation of Hawai‘i had begun, ushering in a new century of American imperialism. “An important chapter in our national history, one that most Americans don’t know but should.” —The New York Times Book Review “Siler gives us a riveting and intimate look at the rise and tragic fall of Hawaii’s royal family . . . A reminder that Hawaii remains one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Even if the kingdom is lost.” —Fortune “[A] well-researched, nicely contextualized history . . . [Indeed] ‘one of the most audacious land grabs of the Gilded Age.’” —Los Angeles Times

As the ninth century wanes, Alfred the Great lies dying, his lifelong goal of a unified England in peril, his kingdom on the brink of chaos. Though his son, Edward, has been named his successor, there are other Saxon claimants to the throne—as well as ambitious pagan Vikings to the north. Torn between his vows to Alfred and the desire to reclaim his long-lost ancestral lands in the north, Uhtred, Saxon-born and Viking-raised, remains the king’s warrior but has sworn no oath to the crown prince. Now he must make a momentous decision that will forever transform his life and the course of history: to take up arms—and Alfred’s mantle—or lay down his sword and let his liege’s dream of a unified kingdom die along with him.

Download or read book The Lost Kings written by Tevin Njuguna and published by Springsfield Book Consult. This book was released on 2013-08-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every kingdom does things in a certain way; it has a chain of command, it has structures of authority, and it has rules and regulations which govern the way it functions. Every Ruler has a source of authority. There are ordinances or decrees which govern a ruler s power. In order for a ruler to stay in power, there are certain laws which even he, himself cannot contravene. If he contravenes these laws, rules or regulations, there can be serious consequences to his authority or to his power. Man was given ruler ship or dominion by God to rule the earth and everything in it. But there were certain rules which man was given to abide by which affected his continued ruler ship of the earth. When he sinned against his creator God, his creator had to take action in regard to his disobedience. This book attempts to explain what really happened in the Garden of Eden and why man s life took the turn that it took. It also explains some of the hidden meanings that are used in the Bible in relation to names and places. It explains how God operates, but most importantly it explains who man is. It also clarifies why Jesus really came and the consequences of His coming. It attempts to explain what Jesus came to restore and the importance of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. What Adam lost at the fall in the Garden of Eden is something very precious. Understanding what was restored by Jesus and the position of man in relation to God is something whose magnitude cannot be fully imagined or fully articulated with a pen on paper. However, all efforts have been made to encapsulate it in this book."

Download or read book The Lost Kings written by Stephen Moser and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Lost Kings” covers the period 16th-24th April 2021. It is a work of fiction, based on a re-interpretation of historical facts relating to the Royal Blood of the descendants of Jesus, known over the centuries as the ‘sang real’/Holy Grail. So in a sense it is a work of current/historical fiction/non-fiction spanning two millenia. It opens with the immediate aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus, the direct descendant of King David and therefore the legitimate pretender to the throne of Israel as well as a Prophet of God. The book finishes with the installation of his direct descendant as Pope Jesus II, who after the passage of two millenia finally brings together the temporal and religious succession to both King David and Jesus. Our hero is David Whitecastle. He, like Ian Fleming and his creation James Bond, had a Scottish father and Swiss mother, attended Fettes College in Edinburgh, and was in a special unit of the armed forces. David is an Oxbridge graduate who joined Jardine Matheson, the Princely Hong immortalised both by its history as the most powerful foreign trading house in Asia, and more recently through the novels of the late James Clavel, whom I got to know and who initiated me into the dark art of story-telling. Through David, the reader meets the larger than life but enigmatic Monseigneur Sobieski, as well as the delightful Anna who turns out to be much more than just pleasing on the eye. The cast includes the 82 year old Madame Fatin who longs to share a secret which has eluded even the most ardent seekers of the hidden truths of Rennes-le-Chateau. Through her we meet the dyed-in-the-wool but confused SS colonel whose uncle Adolf Hitler has entrusted him with a family lineage quest of his own. She also reveals the secret identity and story of Marie who fathered twin sons whose offspring have the most legitimate claim to the throne of the Lost Kings. Then our journey takes us to the corridors of power in Paris and Vienna which have consistently sought out, adopted and used for their own ends the current representatives of the ancient bloodline of David. The book begins with an apparently open-and-shut homicide in the Vatican. But as the story unfolds it takes the reader on a truly secret and magical whirlwind tour of history, the world and Mankind itself, embracing the ancient Jewish Kingdom of Septimanie in southern France as well as the Visigoth, Merovingian, Carolingian and Habsburg dynasties. It is also a truly inside look at the machinations from its inception of the Church of Rome and its rival factions, through the eyes of some of the key people who have shaped European and world history, politics and religion. It transpires that there are two living descendants of the original undiluted bloodline, whose existence has not been revealed even to those who considered themselves its custodians and protectors over the centuries. The story culminates in a papal election where the two main contenders are, unbeknownst to themselves, the progeny of twin brothers and the current claimants to the most legitimate bloodline of the House of David. The book finishes on an upbeat note. It seems that the winds of change may finally be beginning to blow away the ancient cobwebs which over the centuries have blighted even the most high-minded of religious leaders and organisations, and so in turn failed to fulfil what the average person expects and needs from them. The book is intended to give readers a new, refreshing, but provocative interpretation of the evolution of our culture and civilisation, and in the process stimulate the little grey cells and encourage each one of us to critically and conscientiously re-appraise some of the supposedly self-evident truths which we have taken for granted. It is my hope that this will lead to greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and our place in things. I also hope that this cocktail of light-hearted banter, unexpected love, adventure, mystery, deceit, and epicurean delights will also allow the reader to have fun in the process.

Download or read book The Lost Kings written by Amy Licence and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The century spanning the wars of the roses and the reigns of the Tudor kings was a volatile time of battle and bloodshed, execution and unexpected illness. Life could be nasty, brutish and short. Some met their end in battle, others were dragged to the block, losing everything for daring to aspire to the throne. Some were lost in mysterious circumstances, like Edward V, the elder of the Princes in the Tower. But the majority of these young men died in their teens, on the brink of manhood. They represent the lost paths of history, the fascinating "what-ifs" of the houses of York and Tudor. They also diverted the route of dynastic inheritance, with all the complicated implications that could bring, passing power into some unlikely hands. This book examines ten such figures in detail, using their lives to build a narrative of this savage century.

Book excerpt: "In vivid detail... examines the little-known history of two extraordinary dynasties."--The Boston Globe "Not just a brilliant, well-researched, and highly readable book about China's past, it also reveals the contingencies and ironic twists of fate in China's modern history."--LA Review of Books An epic, multigenerational story of two rival dynasties who flourished in Shanghai and Hong Kong as twentieth-century China surged into the modern era, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist The Sassoons and the Kadoories stood astride Chinese business and politics for more than one hundred seventy-five years, profiting from the Opium Wars; surviving Japanese occupation; courting Chiang Kai-shek; and nearly losing everything as the Communists swept into power.

In a story stretching from Baghdad to Hong Kong to Shanghai to London, Kaufman enters the lives and minds of these ambitious men and women to forge a tale of opium smuggling, family rivalry, political intrigue, and survival.
