After barely escaping Paris, France with his life, Darius has no doubt that his father's enemies are now his enemies. But he soon realizes that this is the least of his worries since his own brother has teamed up with one of his foes to set him up. D.J. doesn't just want a position in the company, he wants the whole thing. And after killing Darius everything that he came back to Atlanta to get will be fully in his grasp. Darius's girlfriend, Natalie, doesn't know what to do with herself after all that has transpired. In spite of how she feels, her voice of reason is telling her that being with a man like Darius may not be the right thing for her. But the problem is that she has already fallen in love with him, and she has no choice but to take refuge in Darius's mansion because of the numerous foes that would try to harm her to get revenge on her man. But how long will she be able to stay with him and will she remain loyal to Darius in spite of the adversity that they both will face? Leah has endured a lot throughout her relationship with Allen. But after he used her to set up Darius, Leah knows that their relationship can be no more. She is having to face the fact that Allen never loved her, but getting him out of her system and out of her life is going to be harder than expected. In spite of that, Leah may be finding true love in the most unlikely person. D.J.'s decision to murder in cold-blood has turned him into a person that he no longer recognizes. He's beginning to see that working with Allen is not going to fare well for him, but right now he has no other choice. D.J. needs Allen's help in order to ensure that he won't be spending the rest of his life in jail for committing murder, but after he avoids this case he knows that he can't afford to let Allen stick around. Will D.J. turn from this path of destruction, or will he allow his circumstances to push him into deeper obscurity?

Book Description
In this volume, 8 lively, original essays by eminent scholars trace the kaleidoscopically shifting dramatic forms, performance contexts, and social implications of tragedy throughout the period and across geographic, political, and social references. They attend not only to the familiar cultural lenses of English and mainstream Continental dramas but also to less familiar European exempla from Croatia and Hungary. Each chapter takes a different theme as its focus: forms and media; sites of performance and circulation; communities of production and consumption; philosophy and social theory; religion, ritual and myth; politics of city and nation; society and family, and gender and sexuality.

Book Description
A powerful introduction to modernism and the creative arts it inspired. How do you rationally connect the diverse literature, music, and painting of an age? Throughout the modernist era—which began roughly in 1872 with the Franco-Prussian War, climaxed with the Great War, and ended with a third catastrophe, the Great Depression—there was a special belligerence to this question. It was a cultural period that envisioned many different models of itself: to the Cubists, it looked like a vast jigsaw puzzle; to the Expressionists, it resembled a convulsive body; to the Dadaists, it brought to mind a heap of junk following an explosion. In Putting Modernism Together, Daniel Albright searches for the center of the modernist movement by assessing these various artistic models, exploring how they generated a stunning range of creative work that was nonetheless wound together aesthetically, and sorting out the cultural assumptions that made each philosophical system attractive. Emerging from Albright's lectures for a popular Harvard University course of the same name, the book investigates different methodologies for comparing the evolution and congruence of artistic movements by studying simultaneous developments that occurred during particularly key modernist years. What does it mean, Albright asks, that Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, published in 1899, appeared at the same time as Claude Debussy's Nocturnes—beyond the fact that the word "Impressionist" has been used to describe each work? Why, in 1912, did the composer Arnold Schoenberg and the painter Vassily Kandinsky feel such striking artistic kinship? And how can we make sense of a movement, fragmented by isms, that looked for value in all sorts of under- or ill-valued places, including evil (Baudelaire), dung heaps (Chekhov), noise (Russolo), obscenity (Lawrence), and triviality (Satie)? Throughout Putting Modernism Together, Albright argues that human culture can best be understood as a growth-pattern or ramifying of artistic, intellectual, and political action. Going beyond merely explaining how the artists in these genres achieved their peculiar effects, he presents challenging new analyses of telling craft details which help students and scholars come to know more fully this bold age of aesthetic extremism.
