In less than four decades it had trained up a security force of around 200,000 men - twice the size of the British army - and had subdued an entire subcontinent, conquering first Bengal and finally, in 1803, the Mughal capital of Delhi itself. But the creation of this new government marked the moment that the East India Company ceased to be a conventional international trading corporation dealing in silks and spices and became something much more unusual: an aggressive colonial power in the guise of a multinational business. The East India Company's founding charter authorised it to 'wage war' and it had always used violence to gain its ends. A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week In August 1765 the East India Company defeated the young Mughal emperor and forced him to establish in his richest provinces a new administration run by English merchants who collected taxes through means of a ruthless private army - what we would now call an act of involuntary privatisation. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Rule of Wolves by Leigh BardugoAnd Nina was maybe the character I was least invested in from SIX OF CROWS. Zoya wasn’t my favorite character from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, so I was not really invested in reading more of her story. I’ve heard a lot of mixed feelings about both KING OF SCARS and RULE OF WOLVES. I think I wasn’t ready for it to be over. It took me SO long to finish reading this book! I think because it’s the last book in the King of Scars duology, AND it’s the last book set in the Grisha universe, which means it feels like the end in a lot of big ways. Spy. Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart. The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its capital. Now duty demands she embrace her powers to become the weapon her country needs. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend. The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to war. But a dark threat looms that cannot be defeated by a young king’s gift for the impossible. The Demon King. As Fjerda’s massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm-and even the monster within-to win this fight. MaAmazon | Bookshop | Goodreads About Rule of Wolves In response to the question, “What does it feel like to have a mental illness?” Ikpi offers an unexpected answer: “It feels physically uncomfortable.” Her essays bear witness in real time to the ways mental illness evolves over a lifetime. Essay writing gives her the breathing room to use language and form as a representation and embodiment of mental illness. Ikpi accomplishes this feat beautifully by transforming her struggle into art by experimenting with form. This emotional tumult is also known as Bipolar II disorder. The Nigerian-American writer, ex-poet and mental health advocate, who in her early twenties performed as a spoken word artist traveling with HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, takes readers on an ambitious journey: to express the highly personal, complex, and physical overload of cycling between extreme euphoria and unexplainable depression, sometimes within the course of one day. Nothing I have worked on or read over the years has accomplished in quite the same way what Bassey Ikpi does in her memoir essay collection, I’m Telling the Truth but I’m Lying: Essays. Over the course of my twenty years in nonfiction book publishing, I’ve acquired, edited, and ghostwritten numerous such books, all of which I hope have contributed to the robust dialogue and much-needed de-stigmatization of this topic. There is an entire library full of memoirs, one that grows greater every day, concerning issues surrounding mental health. I’m Telling the Truth but I’m Lying: Essays by Bassey Ikpi (Harper perennial 2019) 5/24/2023 0 Comments The elfstonesDuring the Second War of the Races, the Druid Bremen understood the incredible destructive potential that the stone held and what that would mean if it fell into the hands of the Warlock Lord. Its ability to negate any magic meant that the Black Elfstone can be used as a potent weapon. However, there is a price to be paid, as any magic that is negated is then transferred into the holder of the stone, changing and remaking that person. The Black Elfstone is a powerful magic that nothing can stand against, for it has the power to negate other magics. The Black Elfstone is a large black gemstone, combining all the elements of three normal Elfstones (heart, mind, and body) into one talisman. For the fantasy novel, see The Black Elfstone. This page refers to the magical talisman. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Books written by nelson mandelaAnd what I got from them was not only admiration for him, but also a perspective that this was not just one man, but a movement, that pulled this off, this change. And I did so by interviewing over 150 people who worked with Mandela, who were part of this whole struggle. And that’s why the producers of the movie asked me to write a book about the rest of the story. It includes vignettes that will humanize Mandela and the anti-apartheid struggle.Īs author Danny Schechter explained in an interview on Democracy Now!, “ Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a dramatized but important film about Nelson Mandela, in the way that the movie Gandhi was about Gandhi. Madiba A to Z: The Many Faces of Nelson Mandela, written as a companion volume to the film Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom, includes behind-the-scenes insights from the actors and filmmakers. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Fire Within by Ally ShieldsSlow Smoke can be used offensively or defensively depending on the situation. For a more defensive build, replace Wise Glasses with Buddy Barrier, giving more HP and another source of shielding. Slick Spoon can also work as a substitute. Specs can be a great alternative for Wise Glasses since the item stacks even while Comfey is attached to an ally. Rescue Hood provides Comfey with durability through increased defenses and improves Floral Healing's effects. Share is Comfey's core support item, allowing its ally to level up faster and giving the Pokemon EXP. Comfey can attach to any melee or ranged Pokemon for the build, but it's particularly effective when attached to Attackers or All-Rounders.Įxp. This is a well-balanced support build focusing on healing allies using Floral Healing and damaging enemies with Magical Leaf. The builds are still viable even without the suggested emblems. The emblem color and stats here are suggestions only. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Susan orlean the libraryWeaving her lifelong love of books and reading into an investigation of the fire, award-winning New Yorker reporter and New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean delivers a "delightful…reflection on the past, present, and future of libraries in America" ( New York magazine) that manages to tell the broader story of libraries and librarians in a way that has never been done before. Investigators descended on the scene, but more than thirty years later, the mystery remains: Did someone purposefully set fire to the library-and if so, who? By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed four hundred thousand books and damaged seven hundred thousand more. The fire was disastrous: it reached two thousand degrees and burned for more than seven hours. On the morning of April 28, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. Susan Orlean's thrilling journey through the stacks reveals how these beloved institutions provide much more than just books-and why they remain an essential part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country. 5/23/2023 0 Comments A Bed of Spices by Barbara SamuelBut, for the most part, there isn’t as much variety as there used to be 40, 30, or 25 years ago. Some modern authors do create romances featuring unusual settings. Just look today at the prevalence of Highland romances. Scotland, from the 15th century onward, is also a familiar backdrop. Some readers have never encountered historical love stories outside of Georgian England, Regency England, and Victorian England. Most stories are set in the British Isles. Today periods are restricted to specific eras. This is baffling as it wasn’t always that way. Historical romance, in particular, is limited to that scope. The genre is typically confined to areas in the Anglophonic realms of the world. Whatever word you use, it’s fun to talk about unique settings in romance we don’t often encounter. Let’s talk about unusual or extraordinary settings in romance! We use the term “extraordinary” rather than “exotic” to describe places simply because one person’s idea of “exotic” is another’s idea of home. Extraordinary or Unusual Settings in Romance Even as the novel charts the voyages of its vagabonds, it represents an attempt to draw the periphery into the center, steering us toward the provinces as it renovates the Cuban novel. “Accidental cannibals, tenderhearted killers, angst-ridden ghosts and well-behaved artists soon populate topsy-turvy universe. Reviews BookĮxcerpts About the Author Reviews Praise for The Black Cathedral It is a portrait of what remains when dreams of utopia have withered away. Told by a chorus of narrators-including gossips, gangsters, a ghost, and a serial killer-who flirt, lie, argue, and finish one another’s stories, Marcial Gala's The Black Cathedral is a darkly comic indictment of modern Cuba, gritty and realistic but laced with magic. This generation will carry these traits beyond the borders of the neighborhood, the city, and the country, unable to escape the shadow of the unfinished cathedral. In a neighborhood that roils with passions and conflicts, at the foot of a cathedral that rises higher day by day, there grows a generation marked by violence, cruelty, and extreme selfishness. Arturo Stuart, a charismatic, visionary preacher, discovers soon after arriving that God has given him a mission: to build a temple that surpasses any before seen in Cuba, and to make of Cienfuegos a new Jerusalem. The Stuart family moves to a marginal neighborhood of Cienfuegos, a city on the southern coast of Cuba. Media Issues, Communication & Journalism.Computer Science & Information Technology. |
