Book Description
All Liara wants is to fit in. She was the only magical person in Danaria, a crime in itself, and constantly hid her identity from those who would kill her. Now she has a chance to be in a place where she can finally be herself, to make friends and enjoy school. Instead her magic, greater than anyone else¿s, and her refusal to follow the sexist rules of society make her an outcast. She hides within her mind, uncertain of herself and her new abilities. Slowly, with the help of a new companion, she opens up and embraces her differences, her duty, and her destiny. Liara¿s very existence is utterly abnormal, and she attracts the extraordinary, whether she wishes it or not. The world¿s future and Liara¿s life subtly become intertwined until she finds herself the most important player in the war, mortal or divine. It seems that while all Liara wanted was to fit in, it is her destiny to stand out.

Music for the Revolution
Author: Amy Nelson
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271046198
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Mention twentieth-century Russian music, and the names of three &"giants&"&—Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofiev, and Dmitrii Shostakovich&—immediately come to mind. Yet during the turbulent decade following the Bolshevik Revolution, Stravinsky and Prokofiev lived abroad and Shostakovich was just finishing his conservatory training. While the fame of these great musicians is widely recognized, little is known about the creative challenges and political struggles that engrossed musicians in Soviet Russia during the crucial years after 1917. Music for the Revolution examines musicians&’ responses to Soviet power and reveals the conditions under which a distinctively Soviet musical culture emerged in the early thirties. Given the dramatic repression of intellectual freedom and creativity in Stalinist Russia, the twenties often seem to be merely a prelude to Totalitarianism in artistic life. Yet this was the decade in which the creative intelligentsia defined its relationship with the Soviet regime and the aesthetic foundations for socialist realism were laid down. In their efforts to deal with the political challenges of the Revolution, musicians grappled with an array of issues affecting musical education, professional identity, and the administration of musical life, as well as the embrace of certain creative platforms and the rejection of others. Nelson shows how debates about these issues unfolded in the context of broader concerns about artistic modernism and elitism, as well as the more expansive goals and censorial authority of Soviet authorities. Music for the Revolution shows how the musical community helped shape the musical culture of Stalinism and extends the interpretive frameworks of Soviet culture presented in recent scholarship to an area of artistic creativity often overlooked by historians. It should be broadly important to those interested in Soviet history, the cultural roots of Stalinism, Russian and Soviet music, and the place of music and the arts in revolutionary change.
