Then, one night, a chance encounter with a handsome chicken thief named Azriel changes her life forever. Sold to him for a small bag of gold coins, Persephone soon discovers what she already suspected: namely, that Azriel is not what he seems. And when she realizes that he believes Persephone has a special destiny—she is determined to escape him and his impossibly broad shoulders. But things are no longer as simple as they once were. Torn between her longing for freedom and her undeniable feelings for the handsome thief with the fast hands and the slow smile, Persephone faces the hardest choice she will ever have to make. And no one—least of all her—could have imagined the shocking truth her decision will reveal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Download or read book The Canterbury Catch Club 1826 written by Chris Price and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1825, an enterprising Canterbury newsagent by the name of Henry Ward raised a subscription to commission a lasting tribute to his beloved musical society. The result was a fine lithograph showing 100 gentlemen in assured poses, carefully placed in surroundings eloquently freighted with classical allusion, cultural literacy, deep-rooted patriotism, and strictly masculine politics. That image is the subject of this book. With insights gleaned from a unique collection of music, papers, and artefacts in the archives of the city and the cathedral, this study considers not only the accomplished performance of bourgeois status which is clearly visible in the print, but other characteristics of the Club which are either less pictorially privileged or entirely omitted. Deploying iconographical, cultural, and musicological analysis, the book discusses this curiously contradictory slice of British social history in which the respectable apparently coexisted happily with the libertine. What emerges is an unusually clear view of the production, performance and consumption of music in a provincial city at a fascinating time: a period when cultural activity was a strategic assertion of socio-political identity.
Download or read book The Paladin Chronicles Book bundle 1 4 written by Neil Port and published by Neil Port. This book was released on with total page 2088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mega book bundle. Over 1700 pages (6000,000 words) of Epic Fantasy, adventure, love, some historical fantasy and a light sprinkling of humour. All set in ancient times and exotic locations. The story begins with Hakeem, a mercenary from the desert city of Karsh (in what is now Syria). Growing up in a monastery, all he ever wanted was to become a religious monk. He can’t understand why he was refused by the Grand Abbot, whom he loved like a father. The old man told him he was destined to become something called a 'paladin'. Broken hearted and penniless, he runs away making a long journey to join the desert mercenaries fighting in the Greek colonies on the western coast of Turkey. Paladins were very rare , and the Shayvist monks believed they were sent by their God, each with a great task. The old Abbot didn't know that a second child had already been 'sent' but what possible task would require two paladins? After fighting in a war in Greek Turkey, Hakeem rises to the level of a senior commander and is summoned home by the new Grand Abbot of his people. Little does he realise, then, that he will soon be caught up in events that were prophesied two thousands years before. The once mighty Elves are fading.They have lost almost all their magic. Their numbers are shrinking. They no longer live longer than humans and each year they have fewer and fewer children. Their final destruction has been foretold and now the time is all but upon them. They are destined to face barbarian hordes greater than the time of the Aryans accompanied by an ancient sorcerer who can command a demon army. There seems little hope that it wont overwhelm them completely and destroy them without a trace. Only through an ancient prophecy can they be saved. Hakeem, an Elvish Princess and their adopted daughter join to flee assassins and begin the search for a way to save the Elves. Readers Favorites Reviews: “Historical fantasy really doesn't get better than this” “first-rate … truly memorable” "A brilliant job of writing ... merges elves into Greek mythology and creates strong and fascinating characters.
