Download or read book Emotionality written by Eirini Arvanitaki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the projections of romantic love and its progression in a selection of popular romance novels and identifies an innovation within the genre’s formula and structure. Taking into account Giddens’s notion of ‘confluent’ love, this book argues that two forms of love exist within these texts: romantic and confluent love. The analysis of these love variants suggests that a continuum emerges which signifies the complexity but also the formation and progressive nature of the protagonists’ love relationships. This continuum is divided into three stages: the pre-personal, semi-personal, and personal. The first phase connotes the introduction of the protagonists and describes the sexual attraction they experience for each other. The second phase refers to the initiation of the sexual interaction between the heroine and hero without any emotional involvement. The third and final phase begins when emotions such as jealousy, shame/guilt, anger, and self-sacrifice are awakened and acknowledged.
Download or read book Mounthaven written by Bernard Peyton Chamberlain, Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mounthaven is a multi-layered tale. Four generations and a hundred years of a Virginia family that, having survived the Civil War, acquires a derelict mansion and surrounding acreage called Mounthaven. The year is 1903. The place is already over a century old when Mary Carter Stokes, wife of a failed Yankee gentleman farmer and daughter of Major Moses Carter, late of the Army of Northern Virginia, first sees the property no plumbing, no electricity and the grounds a total disaster -- and it begins to sink in that this is to be where she will eventually die. Thus it becomes the story of Marys elder son, Edmund Carter Stokes and his Yankee but wealthy bride, as Ed, using Mounthaven as a base, struggles to complete the mission laid upon him by his mother-- to restore the family to the place in society it occupied before the war while Eds own son, Carter, flounders to free himself from these very values, for most of which Mounthaven serves as a decaying metaphor.

Download or read book The Girl in the Rain written by J Christopher Wickham and published by J Christopher Wickham. This book was released on 2023-12-10 with total page 1342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The deceiver knows the Hungarian, the wise man keeps twenty-six ghosts in his library, and the widow carries the words of the dead.” This is the final, cryptic entry scrawled in the journal belonging to the late John Chapel – a journal that detailed his obsession with finding a woman who didn’t exist. Hers was just one of several faces that he insisted he saw there in the rain, and one of the many voices that called to him every night, drawing him further into madness. Despite his wife’s unwavering faith and tireless determination, she could only watch helplessly as the man she loved slowly faded away, like a fingerprint on a window being washed away by the rain. Now, months after his death, new information has surfaced that sheds new light on her husband’s bizarre case and renews Gwenn Chapel’s search for the truth. Her only allies in this crusade are her husband’s old mentor and eccentric history professor, Dr. Campbell, and his former best friend (and her old flame), Jeremy Connelly. As she uncovers her husband’s dark past, however, she begins to question their motivations behind helping her and suspects that one of them is hiding a dark secret of his own. Can she trust either of them to help her discover the truth or will it only be found in the cryptic pages of that journal John left behind? Only Gwenn Chapel can decide where the truth lies as she embarks on a journey that will challenge her faith, the limits of her sanity, and even her love for her husband. Will she be able to put all of those pieces together that her husband left for her to unlock the mystery behind the “girl in the rain”, or be pushed over the edge and dragged down into that abyss with him? This is the first in “The Epic Forgotten” series, which is a gigantically-proportioned tale about the three kinds of love we seek out in our lifetimes, the depths of loss, suffering, friendship, and faith told through the eyes of a widow, a history professor, and the cryptic words of a long-dead crusader. So, take your seat beside Dr. Campbell’s fire, have a glass of Calvados, and enjoy the tale of John Chapel and his twenty-six ghosts.
Download or read book From the Secret Nook to the Mountain Log House written by Dorothy Murray and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Kenkorry thought he’d found the perfect hideout in a secret log house in the dark wilderness of Deadman’s Mountain. He’d been sought for atrocities against his fellow sergeants and many innocent civilians in his war-torn country of Korenith. The sergeant, a fugitive and the subject of a worldwide manhunt, had remained in his mountain hideout until justice found him. A mysterious incident in the dead of night brought an end to the fugitive and his wife. His daughter escaped to the nearby town, while his son, Christopher, remained as a sole mountain derelict. The end had justified the means when Christopher viciously kidnapped Savanna on the eve of her wedding. While Savanna tried to come to grips with her kidnapping, particularly her missed wedding, she’d striven to assume motherly responsibilities in the log house. It wasn’t long before love and romance sparked between her and her kidnapper. Meanwhile, the true identity of her kidnapper’s father—the alleged, Hornett Brentkham, and his family—was unraveled when secret documents were uncovered in the log house. The hopes and dreams of the inseparable young folk to live their lives of love and romance in the log house sanctuary, however, ended when Christopher was recaptured and returned to prison. With the mystery of the fugitive, Sergeant Kenkorry, now unraveled and Savanna released from her kidnapper, her love had become wedged between her kidnapper and Harry, her future husband and a son of noble and wealthy heritage. The questions therefore lingered. Will Savanna resume her wedding plans and wed Harry? Will she wait in earnest hope for Christopher, a convicted murderer, a kidnapper on his way back to prison, where he will serve twenty years with no chance of parole, an avid sleepwalker who’s prone to commit vicious crimes in his sleep? Harry’s struggles to clear her twisted mind with hopes that their wedding can proceed have just begun.
