Book Description
Tudor, Alex, and Edi are Romanian junior high school students in the 1990s when they discover extreme metal and begin to explore the destructive, Satanic ideology behind the music. This shared discovery cements their friendship by forming a unique bond as they delve into depravity. Occasionally aided by their psychopathic friend George, they urge each other to commit increasingly more vandalistic and blasphemous acts: animal cruelty, slashing of tires, smashing windows, and grave desecration. This pattern of anti-social behaviour climaxes when the three teens randomly kill an innocent elderly man during an afternoon of alcohol-soaked violence. The murder brings to light an ideological gap between Tudor and Alex. In Alex's mind, Satanism means total war and the triumph of the Luciferian, Aryan race. Comparatively, Tudor sees Satanism as bleak nihilism and violent misanthropy. Because of the difference in ideals, Alex and Tudor face off in a final confrontation that transcends into a mythological dimension.

Book Description
"This work postulates that the set of 116 designs by William Blake, illustrated herein, is not a series of individual responses to the pieces of text they accompany, nor is it a series of responses to the individual poems of Thomas Gray. The designs are also more than illustrations, or corrections, of Gray's speakers or of Gray himself. In the Gray designs, Blake was using the opportunity given him by John and Ann Flaxman in 1797 to explore and explain visually the reformist malaise in the reactionary nineties when the general economic well-being and optimism had been replaced by the effects of war and fear. For Blake, the collapse into the later 1790s is the failure of the imaginative will to sustain the impetus that the American and French Revolutions had begun." "Blake saw several causes for this failure of will and created a set of designs rich in allusions and dense with visual conventions. These visual topoi are personal, topical, classical, biblical, and literary." "Thus, there is a need for a study of the Gray designs that sees them as they are: a unity rich with visual conventions partaking of Blake's revolutionary pattern of development and desire to reshape in specific ways the mind of his audience."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Following his arrest for his use of illegal magics, Odin is forced to face persecution, both legally before the law and morally beneath the eyes of his people. To many, this would be enough to break their soul. But with the belief that his ties to the court will save him, Odin refuses legal representation. But all things come at a cost. After being tried within the Magical Court of Deeana, Odin is not only sentenced to serve his term in a life in prison, but sentenced to serve life in the Cadarack—a place where men go to live and die, and even compete in barbaric battles for the pleasure of foreign royals. For Odin, there is no question. Somehow, he must escape the Cadarack Prison. Even if it means death. This book was originally published as Rebel. It has been updated with revised content and formatting.
