The Korellian Odyssey - Requiem
Author: Vance Bachelder
Publisher: Hillcrest Publishing Group
ISBN: 1936780550
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 55
Book Description
Discovered to possess a terrible, forbidden power, Korel's destiny is changed forever. Finding himself the victim of a heinous plot to discredit him, 17-year-old Korel is expelled from both his family and his home. Finding himself enslaved, Korel quickly rises up the ranks due to his quiet nobility, stoic sense of virtue, and sharp intelligence. But just when Korel finds himself with a small measure of comfort and stability in his new life, his budding romance with the beautiful Arinnea is dashed to pieces in an explosion of evil. Barely escaping with his life, Korel is once again forced to flee across the plains with only his warrior training, his unbeatable strength, and his memories as his companions. Living in both the present and the past, Korel is condemned to wander throughout the land, encountering creatures dark and dangerous that hold powers strange and terrible. He comes to wonder-no matter how many perils he escapes with his wit, cunning, and almost superhuman might-if he can ever escape his own past. In The Korellian Odyssey: Requiem, author Vance Bachelder introduces an epic tale of one man doomed to wander the earth. Korel's is a story of unrequited love, false prophesies, cunning enemies, a jealousy strong enough to rip a family apart, and the deep, personal shame of a betrayal that can never be atoned for.

Mythic Discourses
Author: Frog
Publisher: BoD - Books on Demand
ISBN: 952222376X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
Mythic discourses in the present day show how vernacular heritage continues to function and be valuable through emergent interpretations and revaluations. At the same time, continuities in mythic images, motifs, myths and genres reveal the longue durée of mythologies and their transformations. The eighteen articles of Mythic Discourses address the many facets of myth in Uralic cultures, from the Finnish and Karelian world-creation to Nenets shamans, offering multidisciplinary perspectives from twenty eastern and western scholars. The mythologies of Uralic peoples differ so considerably that mythology is approached here in a broad sense, including myths proper, religious beliefs and associated rituals. Traditions are addressed individually, typologically, and in historical perspective. The range and breadth of the articles, presenting diverse living mythologies, their histories and relationships to traditions of other cultures such as Germanic and Slavic, all come together to offer a far richer and more developed perspective on Uralic traditions than any one article could do alone.
