Like discovering that her dad has been lying to her. That she has a family she never knew about. That the girls have powers similar to hers. Oh yeah, and that someone is out to get her. When the detective’s teenage wanna-be-cop cousin, Trip Williams, approaches Kylie at school insisting she help him solve the case, she discovers Trip might be the only one she can trust, and the only one to help her unravel the secrets behind her mysterious gift.
Download or read book Straits written by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An uncompromising study of the fictions, the failures, and the real man behind the myth of Magellan. With Straits, celebrated historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto subjects the surviving sources to the most meticulous scrutiny ever, providing a timely and engrossing biography of the real Ferdinand Magellan. The truth that Fernández-Armesto uncovers about Magellan’s life, his character, and the events of his ill-fated voyage offers up a stranger, darker, and even more compelling narrative than the fictional version that has been celebrated for half a millennium. Magellan did not attempt—much less accomplish—a journey around the globe. In his lifetime he was abhorred as a traitor, reviled as a tyrant, self-condemned to destruction, and dismissed as a failure. Straits untangles the myths that made Magellan a hero and discloses the reality of the man, probing the passions and tensions that drove him to adventure and drew him to disaster. We see the mutations of his character: pride that became arrogance, daring that became recklessness, determination that became ruthlessness, romanticism that became irresponsibility, and superficial piety that became, in adversity, irrational exaltation. As the real Magellan emerges, so do his real ambitions, focused less on circumnavigating the world or cornering the global spice market than on exploiting Filipino gold. Straits is a study in failure and the paradox of Magellan’s career, showing that renown is not always a reflection of merit but often a gift and accident of circumstance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Schwarze Spinne is a religious allegory about morals and religious living in the mid-nineteenth century, written by Jeremias Gotthelf. This work is an interlinear translation of Gotthelf's Die Schwarze Spinne with introductions to both the author and the work itself. In a small Swiss community, a baptism is the backdrop for a village elder to tell the story of his family and their life and death struggle with the devil himself. The elder relates the story of a knight and his ill treatment of the farmers of the area. The knight's inhuman demands upon the peasants bring about unforeseen consequences, which lead to the decimation of the village and, ultimately, the knight's own death. The plague released through a pact with the devil, the black spider, haunts the village for hundreds of years and must be fought with religious piety, courage, and devotion to traditional values. It is when one forgets God and his commandments that the black spider is at its most deadly. A true tale of morality written by a pastor in 1842, The Black Spider serves as a warning to those who, according to Gotthelf, go against the will of God.

Download or read book Kaukasische Erz hlungen written by Leo Tolstoi and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vom Sommer 1851 bis zum Herbst 1853 war Leo Tolstoi als Offizier im Kaukasus. Die neue Welt, die ihn hier umgab, wirkte auf den Autor mit solcher Macht ein, dass auch die kurze Zeit seines Aufenthalts ungemein reiche Früchte trug. Die Werke, die dieser Zeit ihre Anregung verdanken, sind "Der Überfall”, "Der Holzschlag” und "Eine Begegnung im Feld”. Alle diese Erzählungen durchzieht als leitender Gedanke: die Abneigung gegen die Kultur und die Gesellschaftsschicht, die sich als ihre ausschließliche Eigentümerin fühlt, und die Liebe zu dem schlichten Volk, das unbewusst Tugenden bewahrt hat, die dem Gebildeten fehlen. Hier und da bricht aber auch ernster die Abscheuung des Krieges durch.
