Book excerpt: An emotional imbalance within a woman's mind, caused by the constant horrific dealings from a man, can create a disturbing and unsound reaction that if not treated, may change them into an Unstable Creature. Sophia Avery has felt pain and loss almost all her life, but the worst pain has always come at the hands of a man. She has tried on numerous occasions to have an optimistic outlook towards men, however, their lies and betrayal have become overwhelming. Her trust and resolve has been used, tested, and stretched to its limit, until the warmth in her heart has chilled, and revenge is the only real way to heal. Yet, a simple act of revenge can quickly turn into something more severe, especially when your safety is at risk. Follow Sophia down a road that will quickly become dark, as she begins to stand up to the men who treated her with admiration, only for them to quickly transform and become horribly cruel. This is one woman you may not want to cross...

Download or read book Animals and Other People written by Heather Keenleyside and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Animals and Other People, Heather Keenleyside argues for the central role of literary modes of knowledge in apprehending animal life. Keenleyside focuses on writers who populate their poetry, novels, and children's stories with conspicuously figurative animals, experiment with conventional genres like the beast fable, and write the "lives" of mice as well as men. From such writers—including James Thomson, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, and others—she recovers a key insight about the representation of living beings: when we think and write about animals, we are never in the territory of strictly literal description, relying solely on the evidence of our senses. Indeed, any description of animals involves personification of a sort, if we understand personification not as a rhetorical ornament but as a fundamental part of our descriptive and conceptual repertoire, essential for distinguishing living beings from things. Throughout the book, animals are characterized by a distinctive mode of agency and generality; they are at once moving and being moved, at once individual beings and generic or species figures (every cat is also "The Cat"). Animals thus become figures with which to think about key philosophical questions about the nature of human agency and of social and political community. They also come into view as potential participants in that community, as one sort of "people" among others. Demonstrating the centrality of animals to an eighteenth-century literary and philosophical tradition, Animals and Other People also argues for the importance of this tradition to current discussions of what life is and how we might live together.

Download or read book Tomorrow s Eve written by Auguste comte de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Take one inventive genius indebted to the friend who saved his life; add an English aristocrat hopelessly consumed with a selfish and spiritually bankrupt woman; stir together with a Faustian pact to create the perfect woman--and voilà! Tomorrow's Eve is served. Robert Martin Adams's graceful translation is the first to bring to English readers this captivating fable of a Thomas Edison-like inventor and his creation, the radiant and tragic android Hadaly. Adams's introduction sketches the uncompromising idealism of the proud but penurious aristocrat Jean Marie Mathias Philippe Auguste, Count Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, a friend and admired colleague of Charles Baudelaire, Stèphane Mallarmé, and Richard Wagner. Villiers dazzles us with a gallery of electronic wonders while unsettling us with the implications of his (and our) increasingly mechanized and mechanical society. A witty and acerbic tale in which human nature, spiritual values, and scientific possibilities collide, Tomorrow's Eve retains an enduring freshness and edge." --Descripción del editor.

Download or read book Loathing Lincoln written by John McKee Barr and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most Americans count Abraham Lincoln among the most beloved and admired former presidents, a dedicated minority has long viewed him not only as the worst president in the country's history, but also as a criminal who defied the Constitution and advanced federal power and the idea of racial equality. In Loathing Lincoln, historian John McKee Barr surveys the broad array of criticisms about Abraham Lincoln that emerged when he stepped onto the national stage, expanded during the Civil War, and continued to evolve after his death and into the present. The first panoramic study of Lincoln's critics, Barr's work offers an analysis of Lincoln in historical memory and an examination of how his critics -- on both the right and left -- have frequently reflected the anxiety and discontent Americans felt about their lives. From northern abolitionists troubled by the slow pace of emancipation, to Confederates who condemned him as a "black Republican" and despot, to Americans who blamed him for the civil rights movement, to, more recently, libertarians who accuse him of trampling the Constitution and creating the modern welfare state, Lincoln's detractors have always been a vocal minority, but not one without influence. By meticulously exploring the most significant arguments against Lincoln, Barr traces the rise of the president's most strident critics and links most of them to a distinct right-wing or neo-Confederate political agenda. According to Barr, their hostility to a more egalitarian America and opposition to any use of federal power to bring about such goals led them to portray Lincoln as an imperialistic president who grossly overstepped the bounds of his office. In contrast, liberals criticized him for not doing enough to bring about emancipation or ensure lasting racial equality. Lincoln's conservative and libertarian foes, however, constituted the vast majority of his detractors. More recently, Lincoln's most vociferous critics have adamantly opposed Barack Obama and his policies, many of them referencing Lincoln in their attacks on the current president. In examining these individuals and groups, Barr's study provides a deeper understanding of American political life and the nation itself.

Download or read book Women and Trauma in the Works of Margaret Atwood and Anita Desai written by Naadiya Yaqoob Mir and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the everyday trauma that women experience while finding themselves as victims of a deeply masculine and prejudiced milieu. It details a kind of counter-memory, broadening readers’ awareness about women’s trauma narratives. The works analysed here are all authored by women, and have significant claims to be treated as feminist trauma fiction, that is, as novels that are preoccupied with a socio-political analysis of women’s status and that espouse social or psychological transformation. The book will serve to expand the reader’s awareness of trauma by engaging them with personalised means of narration that highlight the troubled ambivalence of traumatic memory and warn us that trauma gets reproduced if left unattended. For both Margaret Atwood and Anita Desai, trauma emerges as a major and dominating theme in their works. In spite of being culturally separate, both Atwood and Desai show striking similarities as far as their art of writing is concerned.
