Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid novel views Gettysburg and the climax of Pickett's Charge through the eyes of the men in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and most of all through the eyes of their commander, Robert E. Lee. It is dramatic, at times cinematic, and compelling. It also is quiet, reflective, and moving. The author's intensely personal musings on his own history and on the grand and awful sweep and meaning of American history remind us that neither history nor historical fiction are anything like simple stories about what happened long ago but rather, continuous dialogues with the people who inhabited that past. I admire Rich Fritzky's creativity and his desire to share this story with everyone interested in examining some of the deeper truths of the Civil War. -J. Tracy Power Author of Lee's Miserables: Life in the Army of Northern Virginia from the Wilderness to Appomattox Richard Fritzky, writing with a love and passion for-and knowledge of-his subject, has crafted in this novel about Lee at Gettysburg a hybrid mix of events anchored on solid fact, words actually spoken and made up, and acts, thoughts, and emotions inferred. This mix is salted by occasional detours between chapters for personal reflections on words of meaning to Lee-family and heritage, faith, freedom and liberty, sacrifice, duty, and home. All in all, this work of fact, fiction, and reflection combine for a compelling account of Lee on the third day at Gettysburg. -John C. Waugh Author of The Class of 1846: From West Point to Appomattox-Stonewall Jackson, George McClellan and Their Brothers Fritzky is an exceptional human being who has a sensibility that feels the emotions of the past and searches for their historical meaning in the present. -Kent Gramm Author of November, Lincoln's Elegy at Gettysburg This is a well-written, readable, and important work that hopefully reaches a much broader readership than an academic tome. Mr. Fritzky has performed a very important function in writing this book, by contributing toward the maintenance of an historical memory for concerned Americans. If men like Robert E. Lee were to vanish from the historical stage, so too would the principles of honor, duty, and self-sacrifice cease to inform public debate. -Marshall DeRosa Author of The Enduring Influence of Robert E. Lee - the Ideological Warfare Underpinning the American Civil War

Download or read book The Puppet King and Other Atonements written by Justin A. Burnett and published by Trepidatio Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bleak, melancholy, and intelligent like the best by Thomas Ligotti and Jon Padgett, these tales unmistakably come from a deep, personal place and will best resonate with searchers after metaphysical horrors.” —Dejan Ognjanović, RUE MORGUE The Puppet King and Other Atonements conjures a horrific universe of puppets, labyrinths, and liminal spaces. Over the span of fourteen Borgesian terrors, Justin A. Burnett inhabits the strange borderlands between intimacy and isolation, fiction and philosophy, reality and nightmare. Sprouting from the blackened landscape of weird writers such as Thomas Ligotti, Jon Padgett, and Brian Evenson, this collection is a bleak, unflinching gaze into the vertiginous depths of the nonhuman. “A collection brimming with sublime torments. Burnett masterfully grasps the transcendent grotesque, weaving tales charged with cosmic danger. A refreshing and powerful new voice in contemporary dread.” —Rebecca Gransden, author of SEA OF GLASS “Burnett takes you through a journey of contrasts. At once delicate and painfully intimate, yet vast, reverberant and strange, The Puppet King and Other Atonements draws the reader deep into the primordial to the very edge of the stars. Highly recommended.” —Emma J. Gibbon, author of DARK BLOOD COMES FROM THE FEET

Download or read book The Pope s Daughter written by Dario Fo and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucrezia Borgia is one of the most vilified women in modern history. The daughter of a notorious pope, she was twice betrothed before the age of eleven and thrice married—one husband was forced to declare himself impotent and thereby unfit and another was murdered by Lucrezia’s own brother, Cesar Borgia. She is cast in the role of murderess, temptress, incestuous lover, loose woman, femme fatale par excellence. But there are two sides to every story. Lucrezia Borgia is the only woman in history to have serve as the head of the Catholic Church. She successfully administered several of Renaissance Italy’s most thriving cities, founded one of the world’s first credit unions, and was a generous patron of the arts. She was mother to a prince and to a cardinal. She was a devoted wife to the Prince of Ferrara, and the lover of the poet Pietro Bembo. She was a child of the renaissance and, in many ways, the world’s first modern woman. In this richly imagined novel, Nobel laureate Dario Fo reveals Lucrezia’s humanity, her passion for life, her compassion for others, and her skill at navigating around her family’s evildoings. The Borgias are unrivalled for the range and magnitude of their political machinations and opportunism. Fo’s brilliance rests in his rendering their story as a shocking mirror image of the uses and abuses of power in our own time. Lucrezia herself becomes a model for how to survive and rise above those abuses. Part Wolf Hall, part House of Cards, The Pope's Daugther will appeal to readers of historical fiction and of contemporary fiction alike and will delight anyone fascinated by Renaissance Italy.

Download or read book Polygamy Prostitutes and Death written by Daniel Ogden and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hellenistic royal families, from Alexander the Great to the last Cleopatra, took part in dynastic in-fighting that was vicious, colourful and instructive. In this they anticipated by centuries the better known excesses under Roman potentates such as Claudius and Nero. This new enhanced and revised edition of a major study explores the intricate quarrels and violence within the ruling hellenistic families. A main theme is the role of 'amphimetric' disputes, competition between a ruler's offspring from different women, and especially between the women themselves. The book also includes a full exploration of the role of courtesans in the political and sexual intrigues of the hellenistic courts.

Download or read book Puppet written by Kenneth Gross and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The puppet creates delight and fear. It may evoke the innocent play of childhood, or become a tool of ritual magic, able to negotiate with ghosts and gods. Puppets can be creepy things, secretive, inanimate while also full of spirit, alive with gesture and voice. In this eloquent book, Kenneth Gross contemplates the fascination of these unsettling objects—objects that are also actors and images of life. The poetry of the puppet is central here, whether in its blunt grotesquery or symbolic simplicity, and always in its talent for metamorphosis. On a meditative journey to seek the idiosyncratic shapes of puppets on stage, Gross looks at the anarchic Punch and Judy show, the sacred shadow theater of Bali, and experimental theaters in Europe and the United States, where puppets enact everything from Baroque opera and Shakespearean tragedy to Beckettian farce. Throughout, he interweaves accounts of the myriad faces of the puppet in literature—Collodi’s cruel, wooden Pinocchio, puppetlike characters in Kafka and Dickens, Rilke’s puppet-angels, the dark puppeteering of Philip Roth’s Micky Sabbath—as well as in the work of artists Joseph Cornell and Paul Klee. The puppet emerges here as a hungry creature, seducer and destroyer, demon and clown. It is a test of our experience of things, of the human and inhuman. A book about reseeing what we know, or what we think we know, Puppet evokes the startling power of puppets as mirrors of the uncanny in life and art.
