MAYBE SHE COULD KEEP HIM AFTER SCHOOL? Professional consultant Amanda Hutton was used to teaching royal children how to cope with the intricacies of palace life—so she understandably balked when the king proposed she take on his son as her next client. Why, the dashing—and fully grown, to say the least—Prince Stefano diTalora was considered the biggest catch this side of the Mediterranean! What could she possibly have to teach him? Plenty, as it turned out. For though His Highness knew that almost any young lady could be his for the asking, he was also aware that with love could come pain—and he was not about to chance it. Until he met Amanda—and realized that, perhaps, the greater the risk, the sweeter the reward….

The Making of Selim
Author: H. Erdem Cipa
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253024358
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
The father of the legendary Ottoman sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, Selim I ("The Grim") set the stage for centuries of Ottoman supremacy by doubling the size of the empire. Conquering Eastern Anatolia, Syria, and Egypt, Selim promoted a politicized Sunni Ottoman* identity against the Shiite Safavids of Iran, thus shaping the early modern Middle East. Analyzing a wide array of sources in Ottoman-Turkish, Persian, and Arabic, H. Erdem Cipa offers a fascinating revisionist reading of Selim's rise to power and the subsequent reworking and mythologizing of his persona in 16th- and 17th-century Ottoman historiography. In death, Selim continued to serve the empire, becoming represented in ways that reinforced an idealized image of Muslim sovereignty in the early modern Eurasian world.

Transforming Tradition
Author: Siyuan Liu
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472128728
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Shortly after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the PRC launched a reform campaign that targeted traditional song and dance theater encompassing more than a hundred genres, collectively known as xiqu. Reformers censored or revised xiqu plays and techniques; reorganized star-based private troupes; reassigned the power to create plays from star actors to the newly created functions of playwright, director, and composer; and eliminated market-oriented functionaries such as agents. While the repertoire censorship ended in the 1980s, major reform elements have remained: many traditional scripts (or parts of them) are no longer in performance; actors whose physical memory of repertoire and acting techniques had been the center of play creation, have been superseded by directors, playwrights, and composers. The net result is significantly diminished repertoires and performance techniques, and the absence of star actors capable of creating their own performance styles through new signature plays that had traditionally been one of the hallmarks of a performance school. Transforming Tradition offers a systematic study of the effects of the comprehensive reform of traditional theater conducted in the 1950s and ’60s, and is based on a decade’s worth of exhaustive research of official archival documents, wide-ranging interviews, and contemporaneous publications, most of which have never previously been referenced in scholarly research.
