Book excerpt: Emily Thomas has learned to accept her reality. She is a widow. She is alone. And, her life, carefully constructed so that she will never, ever run into Josh’s memory again, is just fine that way. But, as Emily will soon find out, the past has a way of sneaking back in and forcing its way into the present. On her way to drop off an order to her best friend’s company, Emily discovers the first of several grisly murders. All horrific. And, all eerily similar to Josh’s tragic demise. Five years ago, Josh’s death had made headlines in her tiny town. Murder in Prattville was rare but usually easily explained. A jealous boyfriend. Drugs. Money. Something. Josh’s death had been shrouded in mystery, surrounded by flimsy theories and no proof. Emily had been left with questions, and, terrifying as the recent murders were, if there was a chance that they could be linked to Josh, she was taking it. What Emily didn’t count on, and couldn’t have predicted, was her unusual attraction to Samuel Bennett—the out-of-town investigator working the case. Sam is charismatic, unforgettably good-looking, and a complication that Emily doesn’t have time for. Determined to ignore him and confused and guilty about her feelings for someone other than Josh, she forges ahead with her investigation, certain that she can find the killer on her own, or at least enough evidence to take to the police when the time comes. But the last thing that Sam wants to involve is the police. His involvement in the death investigation is a carefully guarded secret and Emily’s hell-bent desire to find the truth on her own will make it very difficult for him to capture the beast that roams the streets of Prattville. A terror-filled visit to the scene of the crime pulls the two of them together and thrusts Emily into a supernatural rabbit hole filled with her worst terrors. When Josh returns to the party, straight from his own fresh hell and hinting at a reunion with his living wife, Emily must make a choice—should she go back to her husband or join with Sam and his band of hunters to confront the monsters that stalk her town? But Josh has his own agenda and until Emily finds out exactly what that agenda is, any choice that she makes could lead her down the wrong path, dooming her, the town, and the man she now loves.

Book excerpt: The Russians at Merv and Herat, and Their Power of Invading India is an account of Russian policy in Central Asia and of possible Russian intentions toward Afghanistan and India in the late 19th century, written from a British perspective. Topics covered include writings by Russian military officers on Central Asia and India; the analysis by the Russian general staff of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80); the journeys by Russian diplomat Pavel M. Lessar from Ashgabad (present-day Ashqabat, Turkmenistan) to Sarakhs (in present-day Iran) and from Sarakhs to Herat, Afghanistan; Russian railroad construction in Central Asia; Russia's buildup of naval power in the Caspian Sea; and the development of the oil industry in Baku (present-day Azerbaijan). The book predicts that in a future crisis with Great Britain, Russia, unlike in previous crises or during the Crimean War, almost certainly would strike at British India. The author, Charles Thomas Marvin (1854-90), was a writer and one-time Foreign Office staff member who had lived many years in Russia, initially with his father, who was employed in Saint Petersburg, and later as a correspondent for a British newspaper. The book draws on interviews that Marvin conducted in 1882 with leading Russian military and political leaders, and contains translations of long excerpts from relevant Russian books and reports. It includes drawings by Russian artists, which, the author asserts, "are the first illustrations of Merv and the Turcoman region that have yet appeared in this country." The book contains three appendices, including a long essay on the Russian navy that is only partly related to the main subject of the work.

Download or read book The Persian Prince written by Hamid Dabashi and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its title borrowed from Machiavelli, The Persian Prince goes far beyond Machiavelli's wildest imagination as to how to rule the world. Hamid Dabashi articulates a bold new idea of the Persian Prince—a metaphor of political authority, a figurative ideal deeply rooted in the collective memories of multiple nations, and a literary construct that connected Muslim empires across time and space and continues to inform political debate today. Drawing on works from Classical Antiquity and the vast Persianate worlds from India to the Mediterranean, as well as the Hebrew Bible and European medieval mirrors for princes, Dabashi engages a diverse body of political thought to reveal the construction of the Persian Prince as a potent archetype. He traces this archetype through its varied historic gestations and finds it resurfacing in postcolonial political thought as a rebel, a prophet, a poet, and a nomad. Bringing poetics and politics together, Dabashi shows how this archetypal figure has long defined political authority throughout the wider Iranian and Islamic worlds. With meticulous attention to literary and poetic texts, moral and philosophical treatises, allegorical and anecdotal stories, sacred and secular evidence, visual and performing arts, histories of global empires and colonial conquests, this sweeping work offers a deeply learned, richly erudite, and transformative piece of critical thinking. As Dabashi shows, the Persian Prince remains the stuff of current debate across the Muslim and Persianate worlds, in contestations over the public domain and the collective will to power, and above all in the prospects of democratic institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam is the only major world religion that resists the juggernaut of alcohol consumption. In many Islamic countries, alcohol is banned; in others, it plays little role in social life. Yet, Muslims throughout history did drink, often to excess--whether sultans and shahs in their palaces, or commoners in taverns run by Jews or Christians. This evocative study delves into drinking's many historic, literary and social manifestations in Islam, going beyond references to 'hypocrisy' or the temptations of 'forbidden fruit'. Rudi Matthee argues that alcohol, through its 'absence' as much as its presence, takes us to the heart of Islam. Exploring the long history of this faith--from the eight-century Umayyad dynasty to Erdogan's Turkey, and from Islamic Spain to modern Pakistan--he unearths a tradition of diversity and multiplicity in which Muslims drank, and found myriad excuses to do so. They celebrated wine and used it as a poetic metaphor, even viewing alcohol as a gift from God--the key to unlocking eternal truth. Drawing on a plethora of sources, Matthee presents Islam not as an austere and uncompromising faith, but as a set of beliefs and practices that embrace ambivalence, allowing for ambiguity and even contradiction.
