Scribbled in the Dark by Charles Simic Pdf

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning former poet laureate, a collection of elegiac, irreverent new poems—an American master at the height of his talent The latest volume of poetry from Charles Simic hums with the liveliness of the writer’s pen. Scribbled in the Dark brings the poet’s signature sardonic sense of humor, piercing social insight, and haunting lyricism to diverse and richly imagined landscapes. Peopled by policemen, presidents, kids in Halloween masks, a fortune-teller, a fly on the wall of the poet’s kitchen; set on crowded New York streets, on park benches, and under darkened skies; the pages within toy with the end of the world and its infinity. Simic continues to be an imitable voice in modern American poetry and one of its finest chroniclers of the human condition.

After the Dark by Rohit Pagare Pdf

After the Dark is a tale of a prisoner’s resolute fightback for freedom. Not by jumping over walls, but by conquering his inner-self and then winning over his outer handicaps by becoming larger than beliefs. About the author Rohit Pagare was sentenced to life imprisonment by court on charges of murder. But he had set one more condition for himself: that he would obtain release only when he selflessly brings smile to someone, or he would brace death. What he needed was one chance to partly atone his doing. One day, administration asked suggestions from him to smoothen prison processes. This was his chance. He gathered a team of inmates, motivated them to develop a prison software and outperformed expectations. Impressed administration implemented it in all prisons of the state which won him accolades from DG Prisons and a place in Limca Book of Records. At present, software is aiding agencies in crime investigations and is thus securing citizen lives and winning their smiles. Then administration began saying, ‘Rohit, it’s been 8 years of sincere work, time for you to get out of here.’ About the book In the story, author’s prison fightback is personified by Gopi (11 years), and his sister Seema (15 years). Gopi is poor and a 3rd standard village-school dropout who promises Ria, a rich but handicapped city-school girl of sixth standard, that he would bring her smile. Little does he know that his promise will push him on a turf of war with his debilitated inner self - can he, can he not? He will have to tame his mind into a passionate mission-oriented machine. In a distant hostage camp, Seema knows escape was impossible. One day when cornered, she stared at her horrendous-self - that she could murder. And she also incredulously saw herself escaping from the camp with another captive, only to agonizingly return to embrace her death. But destiny wasn't through. Back came another foggy chance but with a frustrating rider - it was to help her captor!

Give the Dark My Love by Beth Revis Pdf

A young alchemist turns to dark magic when a deadly plague sweeps through her homeland in this epic fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis. Seventeen-year-old Nedra Brysstain leaves her home in the rural, northern territories of Lunar Island to attend the prestigious Yugen Academy with only one goal in mind: master the trade of medicinal alchemy. A scholarship student matriculating with the children of Lunar Island's wealthiest and most powerful families, Nedra doesn't quite fit in with the other kids at Yugen. Until she meets Greggori "Grey" Astor. Grey is immediately taken by the brilliant and stubborn Nedra, who he notices is especially invested in her studies. And that's for a good reason: a deadly plague has been sweeping through the north, and it's making its way toward the cities. With her family's life--and the lives of all of Lunar Island's citizens--on the line, Nedra is determined to find a cure for the plague. Grey and Nedra grow close, but as the sickness spreads and the body count rises, Nedra becomes desperate to find a cure. Soon, she finds herself diving into alchemy's most dangerous corners--and when she turns to the most forbidden practice of all, necromancy, even Grey might not be able to pull her from the darkness.

Dark Messiah by Shane O'Neill Pdf

The story is centred on revenge; two men separated by completely different backgrounds, but forced together into fatal violence; their lives becoming entwined with the destiny of the kingdom. As the search for the thief Hemlock who brutally murdered Storm’s wife intensifies, both men change. Storm is a sailor by trade, a simple man ignorant of swordplay and killing. Hemlock knows no other life not dominated by violence and greed. Storm’s personality alters as he becomes accustomed to the art of bloodletting, and loses sight of what he was originally fighting for. Hemlock, a man driven close to insanity by the endless killing, is finally pushed over the edge as his search for absolute power destroys everything in his wake. The kingdom and its people will bear witness to their struggle and their fate will be decided by the winner. Shane O’Neill lives in Waterford, Ireland. He is the author of four books.
