Book Description
“This book commits almost every crime against heroic fantasy that I can imagine ... and I have not been able to put it down.” —Glen Cook, bestselling author of The Black Company A young warrior and his improbable band of allies face impossible odds as they seek to rescue his brother from the servants of the Fallen God. Emrael Ire is a student of war with lofty ambitions, despite being so poor his boots are more hole than leather. He and his talented younger brother Ban work hard to build themselves a better life at the Citadel, a school that specializes in both infusori Crafting and military arts. Their lives are upended when the power-hungry Lord Governor of the neighboring province invades the school with the help of a sinister sect of priests devoted to the newly awakened Fallen God of Glory. Many of the infusori Crafter students are captured—Including Ban. Though Emrael stands little chance against the Lord Governor and his armies, he’s desperate to save his brother—even if that means accepting the help of allies with uncertain motives, or becoming a practitioner of a forbidden magic. There is nothing he won't sacrifice to save his brother, but what happens when the cost of success is not his to pay?

Book Description
The owl gazed at Reggie, who by now was totally captivated by the presence of the creature. The owl rocked its head from side to side, as it peered down between the swaying branches at him. Suddenly it took to its wing and flew a short way along the foot-path, leading Reggie further away from the canal tow-path. Settling on the branch of another tree a little farther on, it stared back at Reggie, now obsessed with the creature it, seeming to want him to follow it. He became curious of the owls appearance and presence. Though it had moved away from the light, its eyes still shone brightly. The owl continued to move further along the path-way, with Reggies insatiable curiosity requiring him to follow it he, continually being led away from the tow-path by the creature.

Britten, Voice and Piano
Author: Graham Johnson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351218204
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This collection of eight 'lectures' by internationally acclaimed pianist, Graham Johnson, is based on a series of concert talks given at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama as part of the Benjamin Britten festival in 2001. The focus of the book is on Britten's songs, starting with his earliest compositions in the genre. Graham Johnson suggests that the nature of Britten's creativity is especially apparent in his setting of poetry, that he becomes the poet's alter-ego. A chapter on Britten's settings of Auden and Eliot explores the particular influences these writers brought to bear at opposite poles of the composer's life. The inspiration of fellow musicians is also discussed, with a chapter devoted to Britten's time in Russia and his friendship with the Rostropovitch family. Closer to home, the book places in context Britten's folksong settings, illustrating how he subverted the English folksong tradition by refusing to accept previous definitions of what constituted national loyalty. Drawing on letters and diaries, and featuring a number of previously unpublished photographs, this book illuminates aspects of Britten's songs from the personal perspective of the pianist who worked closely with Peter Pears after Benjamin Britten was unable to perform through illness. Johnson worked with Pears on learning the role of Aschenbach in 'Death in Venice' and was official pianist for the first master class given by Peter Pears at Snape in 1972.

The Opium Eaters
Author: Harold Bergsma
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1438965893
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The Opium Eaters is the culminating novel of this trilogy. The first, One Way to Pakistan, is a gripping story of corruption and crime in Pakistan in which three women are abducted and how their lives are shattered. In the second novel, An Oath of Vengeance, Maria, the wife of an American doctor, Chamuck a tribal girl from Peshawar and Ankh struggle with terror and shame in their personal lives, being no more than chattel to their abductors. Braving death they seek their own ways to escape from their tormentors. Quotes from Readers While reading Harold's remarkable- Opium Eaters- which happens to be the final novel to the three part saga (One Way to Pakistan, Oath of Vengeance and Opium Eaters), I was quite taken by his depth of knowledge of Muslim Culture. In fact in the third novel Opium Eaters Harold showed how opium provides funds for the Taliban's war against America and their imposition of democracy on Afghanistan. It reveals the frustrations of the Americans who are unable to destroy the opium smuggling from the root source- the tribal areas of Afghanistan to the Ports of Pakistan. "His books...a marvelous read...show us a world we generally get to read about but rarely are a part of." Deepti Lamba, editor for Desicritics, Things that Bang. "In his novel, An Oath of Vengeance, Harold Bergsma weaves a literary web which snares genre-junkies, mystery-lovers and hopeless romantics. This novel's erratic plotline and scandalously intriguing characters will leave readers yearning for book three (Opium Eaters) to hit the shelves." Stuart A Chipman, Valley Vanguard Weekly Columnist, Saginaw Valley State University, Michigan. Harold Bergsma's An Oath of Vengeance received a Notable Award Certificate in Writer's Digest 16th Annual International Self-Published Book awards
