Book excerpt: An admirer of the written word, Traveler Sands spends his days living in the moments of his books. However, he later discovers that his strong imagination would be the secret to saving two worlds. One day, he uncovers a magical mirror that sends him to a medieval-like world, a world that is devastated by war and greed. Traveler learns about the evil elder and his plans to amass his army by producing powerful creatures to crush the resistance. The key to the evil elder's strategy is the creation of mental disorders in the various minds of the inhabitants of Earth. As Traveler's adventure continues, he makes his way to a small part of the realm that is unaffected by the decadence. He comes across the truth of his grandfather's legacy. This prompts Traveler's decision to fulfill his role by becoming a part of the resistance, which turns out to be a league of knight-like wizards. Ultimately, Traveler is then conflicted with his choice when the evil elder captures his family's minds.

Download or read book Beyond the Night written by Nadine Farghaly and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Werewolves, witches, vampires, demons, gods, zombies, and shape-shifters; these are just a few examples of the monstrous that society is confronted with. Most people have some knowledge about these creatures, and have had fleeting contact with ghosts, fairies, vampires and goblins, either in their imagination, or while reading, watching, or interacting with other people (whether in reality or the online world). From Beowulf and Buffy, to Freddy Krueger and Frankenstein’s Monster, this collection highlights different aspects of the monstrous, and discusses various ways in which they can be read, discussed, and understood. What does the mother in Beowulf really represent? How can the character of Zoey Redbird really be understood? What is the importance of memories in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? And what should we make of Terry Pratchett’s undead creatures? And what role does the children-friendly vampire play? Beyond the Night offers a range of insights into these topics, as well as many more. It presents the reader with a vast array of old and new creatures in popular culture, analysing the significance they have for wider society. This collection will also help readers to understand their favourite monsters better in relation to questions concerning sexuality, gender, social change, and otherness.
Download or read book Sith Slayers Stargates Cyborgs written by John R. Perlich and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beginning of the twenty-first century has already seen its fair share of modern myths with heroes such as Spider-Man, Superman, and Harry Potter. The authors in this volume deconstruct, discuss, engage, and interrogate the mythologies of the new millennium in science fiction fantasy texts. Using literary and rhetorical criticism - paired with philosophy, cultural studies, media arts, psychology, and communication studies - they illustrate the function, value, and role of new mythologies, and show that the universal appeal of these texts is their mythic power, drawing upon archetypes of the past which resonate with individuals and throughout culture. In this way they demonstrate how mythology is timeless and eternal.

Book excerpt: Between Russia and Germany lay contested lands. The domain of the German Lords and the western-most bastion of Imperial Russia, these lands have often been at the centre of European history, but their indigenous peoples have not. With the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, newly born nations sought to find a usable past to unite in common struggle. Latvia's national legend, the Bear-Slayer, was at the forefront in a battle to rescue its past from the hands of its oppressors. This book explores how the Bear-Slayer served as a template for the remembrance of two World Wars in Latvia, how the legend was used and abused by foreign occupiers, and how Latvians understand their own personal histories as an act of social memory. Also included: An interview with Latvian Waffen SS Legionnaire Janis Saulitis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True evil comes not from the weakening of the body, but through the indifference of the soul. The crew of the Yellow Rover has definitely seen better days. Captain Sanhueza’s decision to split the team has turned out to be quite frankly, an unmitigated disaster. This dangerous new world, coupled with its relentless inhabitants, have made their arrival a living nightmare for the Alpha and Bravo teams. Lieutenant Biancuzzo seizes command, enlisting his top technicians to help him devise an exfiltration plan. The two techs work non-stop, decrypting the data found on the mysterious moon base that was built by an ancient alien civilization known as the Conesans. With practically no time to execute this daring rescue, Biancuzzo and company spring into action—invading the planet. The surviving members of the Alpha and Bravo teams are eventually brought safely back on board for a debrief, but not before enduring another ferocious battle for their lives. The events of this failed colonization are not lost on the crew as it remains unclear as to what their next move should be. Press forward further into the star system or return home to the Rover Base Alpha [and admit defeat]. With a familiar face emerging from the shadows, no one on the Yellow Rover is safe. Burdened by a relentless desire to heed the cull, it is only in death that the living can truly be free. ***For fans of the Red Rover, please note that this is not a YA novel. It was written to appeal to an adult audience.***
Download or read book Joss Whedon and Religion written by Anthony R. Mills and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of new essays on the religious themes in, and the implications of, the works of Joss Whedon, creator of such shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly, and more recently writer and director of the box-office hit Marvel's The Avengers. The book addresses such topics as ethics, racism, feminism, politics, witchcraft, spiritual transformation, identity, community, heroism, apocalypse, and other theologically significant themes of Whedon's creative enterprises. The disciplinary approaches vary as well; history, theology, philosophy of religion, phenomenology, cultural studies, and religious studies are all employed. The various essay authors differ in that some are clearly believers in God, some are clearly not, and others leave that matter aside.
