The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

It's 1992 and the "second summer of love" has hit Britain in full force, as New Age travellers and early '90s ravers converge around the legendary first ever Castlemorton Common festival. On his voyage of free-spirit debauchery and naive search for love, Nathan Hancock finds himself infatuated with the troubled and wayward Rosalind. Unfortunately for her, Rosalind's lust for the vices that defined the raving scene of the early '90s lands her in the company of the vicious Grivens brothers, and at the centre of a heartless attack that leaves her left for dead. In retaliation Nathan loses it, brutally murdering the man responsible. Still reeling from the bloody fallout of that initial Castlemorton Common Festival, Tainted Beauty picks up 23 years later as Nathan is released from prison. Attempting to pick up the pieces of the life that he left behind, Nathan roams Britain without a purpose. That is, until he discovers that Rosalind didn't actually die in the attack of '92. With a new lease in life, Nathan takes off in search of the woman he became obsessed with all of those years ago. However, it doesn't take long before he realises that when you have a past as dark as his, the world doesn't always let you wipe the slate clean. With Tainted Beauty, author A.C. Dyke offers a critical examination of the violent and oppressive underworld of Britain. Relationships, justice and morality are called into question in Dyke's hauntingly hard-hitting crime thriller, as the line between good and evil becomes blurred with every new revelation. Fuelled on drugs, poverty and senseless violence, Dyke casts an atmospherically bleak background against his mature tale of revenge and redemption."
Ezra Pound and the Symbolist Inheritance by Scott Hamilton Pdf
In this revisionary study of Ezra Pound's poetics, Scott Hamilton exposes the extent of the modernist poet's debt to the French romantic and symbolist traditions. Whereas previous critics have focused on a single influence, Hamilton explores a broad spectrum of French poets, including Thophile Gautier, Tristan Corbire, Jules Laforgue, Remy de Gourmont, Henri de Rgnier, Jules Romains, Laurent Tailhade, Paul Verlaine, and Stphane Mallarm. This exploration of Pound's canon demonstrates his logic in borrowing from the French tradition as well as a paradoxical circularity to his poetic development. Hamilton begins by explaining how Pound read Gautier's poetry as an example of Parnassianism and of the "satirical realism" of Flaubert and the modern novelistic tradition. He reveals, however, a crucial blind spot in Pound's poetic vision that facilitated his return to precisely those romantic and proto-symbolist elements in Gautier that were celebrated by Baudelaire and Mallarm, and that Pound, as a modern poet, felt obliged to repress. Arguing that Pound's response to symbolism was not specifically modernist, Hamilton shows how his dual attraction to the lyric and prose traditions, to symbolism and realism, and to the visionary and the historical helps us better to understand our own post-modern sensibility.

I left home at eighteen with nothing but the clothes on my back and the bruises on my face. I worked hard to build a life I was proud of until a simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time ripped my world apart. With my conscience buried in a wooden box beside my wife and daughter, a beast rose from within. One that fed on the guilty and sated its thirst for vengeance by killing everyone I held responsible. Over a decade later, when the dust had settled, and all that remains are the ghosts that haunt me, a scared little girl, whose dark history could rival mine, worms her way into my life and my home. I'm her protector, she's my ward, but she's so much more than just that. She's my redemption, my salvation, my chance to atone for the blood I'd spilled. Yet she also tempts the beast within, and after a stolen moment, I'm left with the taste of sin on my lips and a craving for something far sweeter than forgiveness.
