Title: The Bride of Christ: and Other Fictions Author. Written in a lush symbolist prose reminiscent of Oscar Wilde and Arthur Machen, and painted with glowing colours and awash with heavy narcotic perfumes, the title novella tells the tale of a young nun in pursuit of the Mystical Marriage who runs afoul of a reformist chaplain whose meddling throws her into interior dangers, both metaphysical and erotic. From accounts of the Black Mass to stories of the love which will not speak its name, this volume collects together the previously unpublished fiction of Montague Summers, decadent aesthete, Uranian, former diabolist, priest of dubious provenience and occult scholar. From accounts of the Black Mass to stories of the love which will not speak its name, this volume collects together the previously unpublished fiction of Montague Summers, decadent aesthete, Uranian, former diabolist, priest of dubious provenience and occult scholar. These exotic items, which include short stories, opening chapters to unfinished novels, and isolated scenes, all offer insights into the enigmatic character of the author. "The Bride of Christ," which is the longest work of fiction cult author Montague Summers ever produced, and certainly one of his finest, is presented here in print for the first time, along with seven other pieces, six of which here also make their first appearance in print.

Murakami tsukuru7/5/2023 “It was as if,” Murakami writes, “he were sleepwalking through life, as if he had already died but not yet noticed it.” It’s a condition that lingers into adulthood. The betrayal sends Tsukuru into a spiral. This unit of five was once inseparable “We had several unspoken rules,” he explains, “one of them being As much as we possibly can, we do things together, all five of us.” Haruki Murakami’s “Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage” begins with a simple premise: A Tokyo railroad engineer, the Tsukuru Tazaki of the novel’s title, unable to get over the summer of his sophomore year in college, when for no reason he can determine he was cut off by his close-knit group of high school friends.

Fleming casino royale7/5/2023 Related: How Sean Connery Influenced Every James Bond That Followed In fact, Fleming drew extensively from his own life to supply much of the background, detail, and depth for his twelve James Bond novels and nine short stories, a large swath of literary source material from which the majority of Bond films derive their title. The fictional character is an agglomeration of all the secret agents and commandos Ian Fleming met during his time working for his Majesty’s Government in World War II, with many traits attributed to his brother, Peter, as well as Ian Fleming himself. In an effort to write the self-described “spy story to end all spy stories," former British naval intelligence officer and journalist Ian Fleming withdrew to his Jamaican island retreat, Goldeneye, in 1952 to write his first novel, Casino Royale, at the center of which is a blunt Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) agent named James Bond-code number 007.

Switched by sienna mercer7/5/2023 Uznávam, že asi už mám viac ako cieľová skupina mid-grade, ale táto kniha bola osviežujúcim prekvapením. She is happily writing away and we wait for her upcoming books! She lives in Toronto, kept company by Calypso and Angel – her two gorgeous cats. When she's not daydreaming about vampires and cheerleading, Sienna enjoys travelling and exploring new cities, and keeps a detailed scrapbook of everywhere she’s visited. who was a vampire? She loved the characters - and their kooky friends and family - so much that she just had to keep writing about them. Sienna got the idea for My Sister the Vampire from a daydream she had - what if she had a super-cool twin sister. She doesn't use red notebooks anymore, either, although she keeps them in a chest by her desk in the attic. She used to write in red leather notebooks while sat on her bed, but now does most of her writing in her attic, which is quite dark, and has some spooky cobwebs in the corners - the perfect location for thinking about vampires. Sienna began writing stories when she was a teenager, on a very wet day in Toronto when her cheerleading practice was cancelled - and she has not stopped writing since. A twin would have been awesome! Sadly, she never got that sister so, when she was grown up, she did the next best thing - she wrote books about a girl who reminded her of herself, and gave her the most fun, fabulous twin she could think of! She was an only child, and always wanted a brother or sister – especially a twin. Sienna Mercer grew up in Toronto, Canada.

Into this cauldron of brewing disaster comes the mysterious Gorhaut mercenary Blaise, who takes service with Bertran and averts an attempt on his life. His chief advisor, the high priest of Corannos, is determined to irradicate the worship of a female deity, whose followers live to the south. To the north lies militaristic Gorhaut, whose inhabitants worship the militant god Corannos and are ruled by corrupt, womanizing King Ademar. The matriarchal, cultured land of Arbonne is rent by a feud between its two most powerful dukes, the noble troubador Bertran de Talair and Urte de Miraval, over long-dead Aelis, lover of one, wife of the other and once heir to the country's throne. Based on the troubadour culture that rose in Provence during the High Middle Ages, this panoramic, absorbing novel beautifully creates an alternate version of the medieval world.

The book with no pictures to read7/4/2023 You can see in their expressions, they’re sure this book is gonna be bleh. The faces droop a little and glaze over a bit. When you explain to them that this book has no pictures and that might seem like “no fun” as the story says. It’s funny to watch kids’ faces when you first start reading this book. It’s more of an (air quotes) “Against their will,” but you get the idea. And in the case of this book, they can make you laugh. Words can make you happy, sad, scared, excited, surprised. And a couple of deeper lessons that kiddos may not realize they’re learning from this book are the importance of listening, and that words are powerful for eliciting emotions. First and foremost is that even before you can read, you can still enjoy a book that doesn’t have illustrations. To be certain, the “silly” is the best part of this book, but amidst it all, there are lessons here for kiddos. Long story short, even if your head is made of blueberry pizza, you’ll still love this book. But what it lacks in illustrations, it more than makes up for in gut-clutching preschool- and kindergarten-level humor. The Book With No Pictures (find at your local library or purchase from Amazon) is exactly what the title says - page after page of nothing but words. A purchase through these links supports Preschooligans at no additional cost to you and helps us continue to provide free educational resources.

The author has done an excellent job of building the supporting characters, particularly Elena’s family, who are portrayed as absolute trash. On the other hand, Alec is a typical male lead, who initially comes off as stubborn and obtuse but later redeems himself with his groveling, which is an endearing quality in a book boyfriend. Despite facing several challenges, she maintains her composure and holds her ground. Elena, the protagonist, is a well-rounded character, who is strong-willed and determined to provide for her mother. The character development is one of the highlights of the book. The plot takes several twists and turns, and the author makes sure to keep the readers on the edge of their seats with the intriguing storyline, coupled with the angst and passion of the story.
