Secrets of the Forbidden Kingdom by Chuelsia de Carvalho Pdf

"The sheets below me were burning as the walls surrounding me were closing in. I could feel the heat rising, and I heard the shouting coming from outside. All around me there were precious memories being destroyed as the lives of my loved ones went with them. Suddenly, the door of my room swung open, and my father came crashing through. He picked me up in his arms and carried me out of the burning room. As he sat me down on the ground near the wall, a large beam came tumbling down, burying my father underneath its burning ashes. I watched as the fire’s fury took over my home and sat as my father’s corpse lay across the ground. I screamed for help; I yelled at the top of my lungs as tears came streaking down my cheeks. There was something close by, yet distant all the same. Someone was speaking to me. “You will die,” said the voice. “The Children will never win.”

The Forbidden Kingdom by Jan Jacob Slauerhoff Pdf

Slauerhoff’s The Forbidden Kingdom is a blend of historical chronicle, fiction and commentary, bringing together the seemingly unrelated lives of a twentieth century ship’s radio operator and the sixteenth century Portuguese poet-in-exile, Luis Camoes. Slauerhoff draws his reader into a dazzling world of exoticism, betrayal and exile, where past and present merge and the possibility of death is never far away. Through a narrative that evolves into a critique of European history, culture and colonialism, Slauerhoff speculates about the lessons to be learnt from history.

When the Communist Party recruits girls for a mysterious duty in the capital, she seizes the opportunity to escape her impoverished village.

Ambitious and whip-smart, Mei beelines toward the Chairman. Mei gradually separates herself from the other recruits to become the Chairman’s confidante—and paramour. While he fends off political rivals, Mei faces down schemers from the dance troupe who will stop at nothing to take her place and the Chairman’s imperious wife, who has secret plans of her own. When the Chairman finally gives Mei a political mission, she seizes it with fervor, but the brutality of this latest stage of the revolution makes her begin to doubt all the certainties she has held so dear.
