Download or read book Mr Skylark written by Harlan Greene and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on years of research and thousands of notes left by John Bennett, Mr. Skylark is an unusually intimate biography of a pivotal figure in the Charleston Renaissance, the brief period between the two World Wars that first witnessed many of the cultural and artistic changes soon to sweep the South. The book not only examines Bennett's life but also reveals the rich tapestry of the literary and social history of Charleston. An outsider who became an insider by marrying into the local aristocracy, Bennett was perfectly placed to observe social and artistic change and to prompt it. He published the first scholarly treatise on Gullah, the language of the coastal Southern blacks, and collected African American spirituals and tales. But after breaking several racial taboos of the time, he was publicly condemned, and it was only through mentoring such writers as Hervey Allen and DuBose Heyward that he was eventually welcomed back into the heart of the city. Today, the Charleston aesthetic, which mourned the loss of beauty in a modernizing South, is often overlooked in the study of Southern literature, but Bennett, through his extensive private correspondence and notes, offers insight into the forces that shaped this cultural movement. Restored to us in all his complexity and humor, Bennett is important for his own accomplishments, but also for providing a lens through which to view southern literary history and the complexities of a changing South.

But the creation of new gods is against the rules, and they aren’t willing to give up their immortality. Hermie and Hestie never asked to be demigods.

But when Zeus learns of Apollo’s vision–of the twins finding Prometheus, Zeus’s number one enemy–the hunt for Prometheus begins. Zeus and his allies want to bind Prometheus and kill the twins before their threat of a revolution becomes a possibility.

"This is a must-read and I must say, even better than book one! It was full of suspense, thrills, frightening scenarios; not to mention, compassion for those who needlessly lost their lives. Eva wrote a mystery masterpiece! 5 stars!"--Book Lover Reviews ★★★★★ "If you enjoy a ghost, possible ghost, and bit of history and a really good story, you will enjoy reading this book."--Marilyn A. Seago ★★★★★ "Captivating! Eva Pohler provides the perfect mix. Mystery and hauntings. I was hooked at the beginning and on the edge of my seat by the end."--Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "Women are powerful!!!The series is well written. I was not always comfortable with the content, but that makes it worthwhile. Wish I had friends like those women!!"--Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "The story unfolds at a brisk pace maintained throughout the book's entirety as the protagonists face challenges, threats, setbacks, and self-doubt. It is a paranormal mystery with all the expected trappings of such a story (spirits, seances, sage cleansing rituals, Ouija board messaging, etc.) but it is also much more. The author offers a wonderful group of likeable characters, a riveting mystery, a history lesson showcasing an authentic but truly dismal chapter in U.S. history, and a gratifying resolution that rekindles one's faith in the possibility of goodness and justice prevailing over the seemingly pervasive evil and inhumanity perpetuated by mankind."--txdoc, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin this ghostly adventure today!

When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist.
