Siren's Silence
Author: Richard Quan
Publisher: Q Vision Press & Multimedia
ISBN: 9780977740901
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
New York City attorney Victor takes his Ukrainian-born former lover, Siren Myskina, for dead until he receives an unexpected phone call at work. Jolted by the voice from his past, Victor must unearth the true identity of the woman who had warned him to run when they made love for the first time. Siren's Silence portrays the tale of two young lovers whose relationship comes to an abrupt end shortly after their cross-country journey to Stillwater, Minnesota. Victor Frantiska - the handsome son of a four-star general - and Siren Myskina - a stunning mysterious green-eyed girl - are both freshmen at Duke when they first meet. Siren immediately captured Victor's heart. What strings their fate together is not Siren's beauty but her oddity of personality, a personality that spawns Victor's desperate attempts to root out the source of her elusiveness. This contemporary literary work, influenced by authors such as Thomas Wolfe and F. Scott Fitzgerald, weaves in lyrical elements to create a tapestry that narrates an intricate tale of love, lust, obsession and suspense that vividly reflects the reality of our time. It is for students, teachers, scholars, and avid readers of classic literary novels. The theme of this novel - love is war - serves as a reminder to all of us that love can bring peace, or it can bring terror, uncertainty, and unbearable pain.

Talmuda de-Eretz Israel
Author: Steven Fine
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 1614518513
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Talmuda de-Eretz Israel: Archaeology and the Rabbis in Late Antique Palestine brings together an international community of historians, literature scholars and archaeologists to explore how the integrated study of rabbinic texts and archaeology increases our understanding of both types of evidence, and of the complex culture which they together reflect. This volume reflects a growing consensus that rabbinic culture was an “embodied” culture, presenting a series of case studies that demonstrate the value of archaeology for the contextualization of rabbinic literature. It steers away from later twentieth-century trends, particularly in North America, that stressed disjunction between archaeology and rabbinic literature, and seeks a more holistic approach.
