The Golden Princess and the Moon
Author: Anna Maria Mendell
Publisher: Angelico Press/Second Spring
ISBN: 9781621381938
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
The Golden Princess and the Moon is a classic retelling of "Sleeping Beauty," steeped in legend and magic. The beautiful but spoiled Princess Rosamund (Rosa for short) has squandered the seven faerie gifts given her on her christening day. She must reclaim these gifts in order to face a terrible curse cast long before her birth. Prince Erik grew up hearing stories of a sleeping princess, but all does not end happily when he wakes her. For what happens when a princess of legend awakens in a world that fears all to do with the old kingdom and Faerie? Intertwined in both Rosa's and Erik's lives is the figure of the Golden King and the ancient curse that separated him from his faerie bride. The luminous world evoked by Anna Maria Mendell in this, her first full-length work, is unforgettable, and will delight readers of all ages. "A deeply felt tale of faery, richly mixing elements from the brothers Grimm, George MacDonald, and even (did I sense at times?) The Princess Bride. Read, and enjoy "--MICHAEL WARD, author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis "Anna Maria Mendell's debut novel is a masterly re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty story. At a time when shallow agendas dominate the revival of the fairytale genre, she sets a fresh narrative standard: one drawing equally from modern depth psychology and traditional symbolism. The author conjures a rich, imaginative landscape peopled with believable characters, as she works toward the final eucatastrophe. A 'joyous turn' not easily achieved: and this is perhaps the chief lesson of Mendell's gripping excursion into the realm of faerie."--LEONIE CALDECOTT, co-editor of Second Spring and director of the Centre for Faith & Culture "With passages of striking beauty, this splendid re-telling of the fairy tale 'Sleeping Beauty' touches evocatively on timeless human themes and achieves a poignant depth reminiscent of the work of George MacDonald."--MARK SEBANC, co-author of the "Legacy of the Stone Harp" series Anna Maria Mendell grew up climbing trees in the woods of New England. She studied Literature at the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts and received her Master of Studies in English from Oxford University. While she lived abroad, she traveled far and wide and explored crumbling ruins and castles, secret caverns, and hushed forests--all these places made their way into the scribbles of her notebook."

Salome's Modernity
Author: Petra Dierkes-Thrun
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472027549
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Oscar Wilde's 1891 symbolist tragedy Salomé has had a rich afterlife in literature, opera, dance, film, and popular culture. Salome's Modernity: Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetics of Transgression is the first comprehensive scholarly exploration of that extraordinary resonance that persists to the present. Petra Dierkes-Thrun positions Wilde as a founding figure of modernism and Salomé as a key text in modern culture's preoccupation with erotic and aesthetic transgression, arguing that Wilde's Salomé marks a major turning point from a dominant traditional cultural, moral, and religious outlook to a utopian aesthetic of erotic and artistic transgression. Wilde and Salomé are seen to represent a bridge linking the philosophical and artistic projects of writers such as Mallarmé, Pater, and Nietzsche to modernist and postmodernist literature and philosophy and our contemporary culture. Dierkes-Thrun addresses subsequent representations of Salome in a wide range of artistic productions of both high and popular culture through the works of Richard Strauss, Maud Allan, Alla Nazimova, Ken Russell, Suri Krishnamma, Robert Altman, Tom Robbins, and Nick Cave, among others.

A Little Sky off the Wings: An Award-winning Gujarati Novel
Author: Dr. Bharti Rane
Publisher: Prowess Publishing
ISBN: 1545747229
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Does constant living together bring terrible monotony to life? Do you feel marriage is a sort of silent imprisonment or tremendous encroachment on one’s privacy? Does marriage inherently carry a micro level atrocity in a couple’s relationship? Do the men folk have a natural weakness to be attracted towards beautiful women? Does a man know about innate needs of a woman’s heart? What is happiness in marriage? Can it be measured? Do small matters and petty grievances tilt the scale of life in its favour when weighed against surreal and larger happiness? Does the very existence of human race have only two faces: One Adam and one Eve? Is our Indian ideology of a commitment lasting through births and rebirths relevant in present time? This novel written in the form of a diary gently deals with the subject of intricacies of married life, evaluates and analyses the subject of expectations of a man and a woman, elaborates the fineness of female sensitivity and tests the instinctive human expectations on the anvil of time without being partisan of either sex.The geographical surroundings and its unification with the sentimental inner world of Parnavi make the expressions poignant.The most impressive facet of this novel is the incorporation of the life and thinking of different cultures. The author takes the characters from a modern city like Paris to the distant villages of Val Badia with its aboriginal culture and society, thereby giving it a perspective of very modern concept of ‘Multi-culturalism’ to the novel.The ease of language for the author is innate. Lucidity and charm have blended naturally.
