The Realm of Akra by Luis Antonio Guardiola Alcalá Pdf

The armies of the realm of Balh cross the Tirsic Ocean with the intention of driving the war away from its population. Kurt and his friends will enter the dangerous and inhospitable realm of Akra, where an ancient evil resides that remains vigilant and will not hesitate to destroy those who dare to step on his domain. Kroun, the Soul Bender, has directed the fates of the inhabitants of Akra since time immemorial. His most deadly weapon is not the huge number of troops or his colossal monsters, but the enchantress Silerva, whose dark powers know no limits. Kurt must unite the divided human peoples of Akra. But the true fight of the light bearer will be fought within. Love and hate will meet in a fiercer and more merciless battle than any other. Will those subjugated by the Soul Bender be able to regain control over their fates? The adventure continues...

The Realm of Balh by Luis Antonio Guardiola Alcalá Pdf

The Four Realms * Volume I * The Realm of Balh The world of Arah is divided into four great realms, all of them under the dominion of the immortal Kleos, supreme god of the world. Lord Deko has held the government of Balh since time immemorial. He commands the dronk army, made up of terrible beasts whose sole mission is to exercise tight control over humans. However, Laros, the capital of Balh, is one of the few cities that remains undiminished in the face of dronk rule. The human race fears for its extinction after centuries of submission to the fearsome generals of Kleos. Kurt Brent is a young man who dreams of one day becoming a Knight of Laros. One night, while sleeping, he meets a mysterious man who inexplicably shares his dreams. He will become his teacher and will teach him not only the art of the sword, but also to control the power that is hidden inside his mind. Lansa Sarin, a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair and skilled in the handling of the bow, has captivated Kurt’s heart, but the events rush when Siniste, the drake, is sent to Balh by Kleos. Kurt and Lansa will be forced to start a dangerous flight to the capital to escape the ruthless dronks. From then on, they will have to save countless dangers and survive horrible creatures from times long forgotten, but this will only be the beginning of their adventure. A bloody war will soon follow; that in which the fate of the human race will be decided.

The Deeptracker's Guide by H. G. Potter Pdf

Centuries ago, at the close of the last age, a 900 year old gnome catalogued the various trials, perils, and creatures encountered in the vast hollow earth, thereby providing a handbook to aid humans on their own expeditions for lost knowledge. The Enchiridion de Rebus Subterraneis was masterfully translated into English word for word by the famous archivist Thanato Excorpus and titled "The Deeptracker's Guide to Thaumaturgy and Netherbeasts." Imported from the shores of Whitehawk six centuries ago, no other translations exist. The London fire of 1666 consumed the only manuscript known of the original Latin. The gnome treats on the various environments of the intermudane caverns and subterraneous worlds, providing eyewitness testimony, ancient manuscripts, Church-like admonitions, and rebuke against unbelievers. Includes many "short story" pieces of the gnome's encounters as well.

Religion and Identity in South Asia and Beyond by Steven E. Lindquist Pdf

This volume brings together sixteen articles on the religions, literatures and histories of South and Central Asia in tribute to Patrick Olivelle, one of North America's leading Sanskritists and historians of early India. An exceptionally prolific scholar, Olivelle's best-known works include 'Manu's Code of Law' (2005), 'The Early Upaniṣads' (1998) and 'The Āśrama System' (1993). Over the last four decades, the focus of his scholarship has been on the ascetic and legal traditions of India, but his work as both a researcher and a teacher extends beyond early Indian religion and literature. 'Religion and Identity and South Asia and Beyond' is a testament to that influence. The contributions in this volume, many by former students of Olivelle, are committed to linguistic and historical rigor, combined with sensitivity to how the study of Asia has been changing over the last several decades. Several of the essays examine the construction of religious and cultural identity (whether among Brahmins, Buddhists, Dalits or Muslims), while others are concerned particularly with problems of historical reconstruction and textual interpretation.

Heritage and Hellenism by Erich S. Gruen Pdf

The interaction of Jew and Greek in antiquity intrigues the imagination. Both civilizations boasted great traditions, their roots stretching back to legendary ancestors and divine sanction. In the wake of Alexander the Great's triumphant successes, Greeks and Macedonians came as conquerors and settled as ruling classes in the lands of the eastern Mediterranean. Hellenic culture, the culture of the ascendant classes in many of the cities of the Near East, held widespread attraction and appeal. Jews were certainly not immune. In this thoroughly researched, lucidly written work, Erich Gruen draws on a wide variety of literary and historical texts of the period to explore a central question: How did the Jews accommodate themselves to the larger cultural world of the Mediterranean while at the same time reasserting the character of their own heritage within it? Erich Gruen's work highlights Jewish creativity, ingenuity, and inventiveness, as the Jews engaged actively with the traditions of Hellas, adapting genres and transforming legends to articulate their own legacy in modes congenial to a Hellenistic setting. Drawing on a diverse array of texts composed in Greek by Jews over a broad period of time, Gruen explores works by Jewish historians, epic poets, tragic dramatists, writers of romance and novels, exegetes, philosophers, apocalyptic visionaries, and composers of fanciful fables—not to mention pseudonymous forgers and fabricators. In these works, Jewish writers reinvented their own past, offering us the best insights into Jewish self-perception in that era.
