Book excerpt: Two worlds threaten to crumble in the face of a common enemy in the epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy -- now with a gorgeous new package! What power can bruise the sky? Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera's rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her. When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited -- not in love, but in tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves. But with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters? The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as -- from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond -- humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of the ancient Greek world—populated by monsters, gods and mortals—have been with us for millennia. But you’ve never heard these mythological tales told quite like this. In this box set you will find the familiar woven into the unexpected as the myths of Pandora, Medusa, Prometheus and the Muse Calliope are retold in fresh, bold ways. In Woman of Destiny, Pandora—the first woman created by the gods—must choose between surrendering to destiny, or becoming what no god ever imagined she could be. In Soul of Stone, Panacea—a young Amazon warrior with a talent for potions—pits herself against a she-monster known as the Soul of Stone who has been turning people into statues for centuries. Panacea wants revenge for her brother … but what is she willing to sacrifice to get it? In Bringer of Fire we get to know Zid as he risks his own life to find a way to fight the gods’ treachery and overcome his fear of the ancient demon who is chained to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains. He must choose between friendship and freedom as his actions set him against the most powerful of the Olympian gods: Zeus himself. And in Muse of Avalon we meet Calliope as she flees from burning Greece, heading north to a barbarian land the natives call Britain. We join her as she struggles to help the inhabitants prosper by giving them a symbol of strength and justice. Can a sword in the stone help her find the pure-hearted leader who will give Britain its much-needed peace, or will she fail in her mission and see the country succumb to blood and anarchy? This collection captures the soul of these famous myths, while its darkly complex mashup of myth and reality leaves us reflecting on what it really means to be human.

Book excerpt: Renounced priest Noble Lincoln finds hell upon the earth after being made a monster by the legendary African beast, the Asasabonsam, on a slave ship returning to America's new colonies. Lincoln Noble's new African master plans to use him to navigate slave markets, seeking revenge on the men responsible for murdering his family and trading his wife into slavery. Noble plans suicide to stop himself from becoming a monster. Returning home to his wife Elizabeth for one last visit, he awakens covered in his wife's blood. Sorrow and fear of the newly awakened monster within him drive Noble back to the only place he has ever felt safe: the church. Believing the beast is a demon, Noble demands the priest do an exorcism. That's when an angel steps in and, as divine punishment, places another curse on him. He cannot die, but he can never give in to the monster he has become and kill God’s creatures. There is only one hope to escape the curse set upon him by God and the African monster from across the sea: he must await the return of his reincarnated wife. Noble must find her, and she must fall in love with him and forgive him for what he has become and for the evils of his past.

Download or read book Sublime Dreams of Living Machines written by Minsoo Kang and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Minsoo Kang argues that to properly understand the human-as-machine and the human-as-fundamentally-different-from-machine, we must trace the origins of these ideas and examine how they were transformed by intellectual, cultural, and artistic appearances of the automaton throughout the history of the West. Kang tracks the first appearance of the automaton in ancient myths through the medieval and Renaissance periods, marks the proliferation of the automaton as a central intellectual concept in the Scientific Revolution and the subsequent backlash during the Enlightenment, and details appearances in Romantic literature and the introduction of the living machine in the Industrial Age. He concludes with a reflection on the destructive confrontation between humanity and machinery in the modern era and the reverberations of the humanity-machinery theme today. --
