The Icarus Chronicles: Uprising by Sathvika R Pdf

The planet and dimension of Brimeturn was ruled by three superior governances who governed people based on religion and two rival empires who governed people based on territory. The Mythgrove Empire and The Fresca Empire have had a silent rivalry ever since the night the sun fell, maybe even before. Forced into becoming everything her dear brother tried protecting her from, over a quintet of books, grand princess Rio Richardson and her acquaintances bend the system to bring justice for the loved ones they’ve lost and for a better future; a future in which there is a sun. The land had been cursed by goddesses to never see the sun again. Hunting the sunlight, who will be left at the end to witness a sunset? Will they all make it out of the quest alive? Can a bunch of children really throw over three governances and two whole empires?

Chronicles of the Uprising by K. a. Salidas Pdf

The great cataclysm wiped almost all life from the face of planet Earth, but tiny pockets of survivors crawled from the ashes, with only one thought: Survival, at any cost. But not all survivors were human. In the dark, militant human society that rose in the aftermath, supernatural creatures-Otherkin-were first assimilated...and then enslaved. Forced into blood sport, their existence tolerated only as long as they were entertaining to the human masses. Kill or be killed. Spectacularly. But rumors of a free settlement of Otherkin-a place known as Sanctuary-drive Mira to risk everything including her life. An impossible escape proves only to be the beginning for Mira. Her Journey pulls two opposing factions together, and it seems a bloody war looms on the horizon: one that will end in either a shift in the world's balance of power...or ultimate destruction.

"Lazy, Improvident People" by Ruth MacKay Pdf

Since the early modern era, historians and observers of Spain, both within the country and beyond it, have identified a peculiarly Spanish disdain for work, especially manual labor, and have seen it as a primary explanation for that nation's alleged failure to develop like the rest of Europe. In "Lazy, Improvident People," the historian Ruth MacKay examines the origins of this deeply ingrained historical prejudice and cultural stereotype. MacKay finds these origins in the ilustrados, the Enlightenment intellectuals and reformers who rose to prominence in the late eighteenth century. To advance their own, patriotic project of rationalization and progress, they disparaged what had gone before. Relying in part on late medieval and early modern political treatises about "vile and mechanical" labor, they claimed that previous generations of Spaniards had been indolent and backward. Through a close reading of the archival record, MacKay shows that such treatises and dramatic literature in no way reflected the actual lives of early modern artisans, who were neither particularly slothful nor untalented. On the contrary, they behaved as citizens, and their work was seen as dignified and essential to the common good. MacKay contends that the ilustrados' profound misreading of their own past created a propagandistic myth that has been internalized by subsequent intellectuals. MacKay's is thus a book about the notion of Spanish exceptionalism, the ways in which this notion developed, and the burden and skewed vision it has imposed on Spaniards and outsiders. "Lazy, Improvident People" will fascinate not only historians of early modern and modern Spain but all readers who are concerned with the process by which historical narratives are formed, reproduced, and given authority.

Plagues, Apocalypses and Bug-Eyed Monsters by Heather Urbanski Pdf

Speculative fiction—both science fiction and fantasy—reflects, among other things, the fears of the culture that created it, contributing (perhaps unconsciously) to our efforts to prevent our fears from coming true. While the names and media change over time, the themes of speculative fiction have a long history. Nineteenth century works such as Frankenstein and The Invisible Man contain many of the same messages as the more modern tales of Terminator, Jurassic Park and even Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, although almost a century separates their creation. This critical study discusses the ways in which speculative fiction reflects societal fears and analyzes how such cautionary tales contribute to society’s efforts to avoid the realization of these fears. Beginning with a discussion of the nature of speculative fiction, it takes a look at the characteristics of the cautionary tale. The core of the book, however, is the concept of the “Nightmares Model,” which examines and categorizes the repetition of specific themes within the genre. The dangers of science and technology, the perils of power, and the threat of the unknown are discussed as recurrent themes within a variety of works in prose, film and television. Works analyzed range from Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea to 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Blair Witch Project. Sources include the author’s own observations as a member of the genre’s fandom, a variety of published commentaries and the perspectives of contemporary professionals gained through personal interviews and panel discussions.
