Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPage In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be. An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling. Praise for The Once and Future Witches: "A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author "This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum For more from Alix E. Harrow, check out The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

Download or read book Once and Future Antiquities in Science Fiction and Fantasy written by Brett M. Rogers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 15 all-new essays, this volume explores how science fiction and fantasy draw on materials from ancient Greece and Rome, 'displacing' them from their original settings-in time and space, in points of origins and genre-and encouraging readers to consider similar 'displacements' in the modern world. Modern examples from a wide range of media and genres-including Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and the novels of Helen Oyeyemi, the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, and the role-playing games Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40K-are brought alongside episodes from ancient myth, important moments from history, and more. All together, these multifaceted studies add to our understanding of how science fiction and fantasy form important areas of classical reception, not only transmitting but also transmuting images of antiquity. The volume concludes with an inspiring personal reflection from the New York Times-bestselling author of speculative fiction, Catherynne M. Valente, offering her perspective on the limitless potential of the classical world to resonate with experience today.

Download or read book The Future of the Past written by Georgios K Giannakis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collective volume contains 27 original studies that address in a critical way the position of classical studies in the twenty-first century and its challenges, as captured in the oxymoron of the theme title 'the future of the past'. The relevance of classical antiquity is reflected in all aspects of modern life: the sciences, the linguistic forms, literary expressions, cultural tradition, religion and ethics, philosophical thinking, modes of argument, political theory, history, the arts, and an entire host of other areas--in a word, much of what modern man is. As the conversation between past and present is best demonstrated at the intersection of different disciplines and cultural trends, interdisciplinary and intercultural topics are discussed in the essays. The contributions are organized in thematic groups according to the topics and sub-topics covered, and explore new ways of viewing the values of the classical past and their relevance to the present and future of societies. The work is of special relevance to scholars interested in classical studies, ancient history, critical thinking, the reception of classical ideas in the modern world, and the relation of the past with the present and the future of humanity.
