During the board meeting of the prestigious smartphone company Bluenak, a senior executive, filmed by one of his peers, rushes at one of his colleagues and tries to strangle him, as if possessed. It will take seven men to subdue him before he dies of a heart attack. On his way to California to investigate a biotech company, Vick Lempereur has no idea that he will have to face the most formidable opponent that has ever crossed his path, nor that this trail will finally lead him to Bluenak. In order to survive, physical and supernatural help will not be too much to ask for—that of the New Guardians, and their very special skills.

i A Brief History of an English Literature: An Augustan Age
Author: Rakesh Rathod (MA English)
Publisher: Nitya Publications
ISBN: 8194343259
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
The eighteenth century in English literature has been called the Augustan Age the Neoclassical Age, and the Age of Reason. The term 'the Augustan Age' comes from the self-conscious imitation of the original Augustan writers, Virgil and Horace, by many of the writers of the period. Specifically, the Augustan Age was the period after the Restoration era to the death of Alexander Pope (~1690 - 1744). The major writers of the age were Pope and John Dryden in poetry, and Jonathan Swift and Joseph Addison in prose. Dryden forms the link between Restoration and Augustan literature; although he wrote ribald comedies in the Restoration vein, his verse satires were highly admired by the generation of poets who followed him, and his writings on literature were very much in a neoclassical spirit. I particularly aimed at interpretation of sociopolitical milieu of Augustan Age, of social change, of literary tendencies of the age, and of prose, novel, poetry and drama of the Augustan Age.

The Sexuality of History
Author: Susan S. Lanser
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022618787X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The period of reform, revolution, and reaction that characterized seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe also witnessed an intensified interest in lesbians. In scientific treatises and orientalist travelogues, in French court gossip and Dutch court records, in passionate verse, in the rising novel, and in cross-dressed flirtations on the English and Spanish stage, poets, playwrights, philosophers, and physicians were placing sapphic relations before the public eye. In The Sexuality of History, Susan S. Lanser shows how intimacies between women became harbingers of the modern, bringing the sapphic into the mainstream of some of the most significant events in Western Europe. Ideas about female same-sex relations became a focal point for intellectual and cultural contests between authority and liberty, power and difference, desire and duty, mobility and change, order and governance. Lanser explores the ways in which a historically specific interest in lesbians intersected with, and stimulated, systemic concerns that would seem to have little to do with sexuality. Departing from the prevailing trend of queer reading whereby scholars ferret out hidden content in “closeted” texts, Lanser situates overtly erotic representations within wider spheres of interest. The Sexuality of History shows that just as we can understand sexuality by studying the past, so too can we understand the past by studying sexuality.

Bibliophiles and Bibliothieves
Author: Opritsa D. Popa
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110201909
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
In Bibliophiles and Bibliothieves, Opritsa Popa has documented what might justifiably be described as the most celebrated case of looting of two German cultural treasures by a member of the U.S. Army at the end of World War II and their subsequent odyssey across both an ocean and a continent: the pilfering from a cellar in Bad Wildungen of the ninth-century Liber Sapientiae, containing the two leaves of the oldest extant German heroic poem, the Old High German Hildebrandslied, along with the fourteenth-century illuminated Willehalm codex, both of which had been removed from the State Library in Kassel for protection from bombing raids.
