Undying Glory
Author: Tom Billinge
Publisher: Sanctus Europa Press
ISBN: 9781736293706
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Undying Glory by Tom Billinge explores a common thread running throughout the Hellenic mythos. The Solar Path is walked by Perseus, Jason, and other heroic figures of the canon - but only one reaches its end. In this practical treatment of Greek mythology, Billinge highlights the Solar Hero archetype, advancing it as an ideal for men to aspire to. He explains in detail the symbolic meaning of relevant myths, along with valuable lessons they impart. Truly priceless however is his unparalleled analysis of the Solar Path itself. This is an essential addition to the Heroic Solar current within European spirituality. FROM THE AUTHOR: "This work is based in Greek mythology, but is an esoteric work intended to help men better understand their place in the world. The book aims to look at these myths and the symbolism that lies hidden in them. It tries to draw out and examine the wisdom embedded in the stories. "In essence, whether one believes in the veracity of the myths or not, the moral guidance is more than valuable. The upward path of the hero promotes spiritual and moral growth. It is a path of striving - the path of a strenuous life that rewards the hero for his efforts. Do not be content with a shiftless life; tread the path of Undying Glory."

The Stars Undying

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
A "dazzling" tale of empire and betrayal set among the stars (#1 New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston), this queer, spectacular space opera draws inspiration from Roman and Egyptian empires—and the lives and loves of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Princess Altagracia has lost everything. After a bloody civil war, her twin sister has claimed both the crown of their planet, Szayet, and the Pearl of its prophecy: a computer that contains the immortal soul of Szayet’s god. So when the interstellar Empire of Ceiao turns its conquering eye toward Szayet, Gracia sees an opportunity. To regain her planet, Gracia places herself in the hands of the empire and its dangerous commander, Matheus Ceirran. But winning over Matheus, to say nothing of his mercurial and compelling captain Anita, is no easy feat. And in trying to secure her planet’s sovereignty and future, Gracia will find herself torn between Matheus’s ambitions, Anita’s unpredictable desires, and the demands of the Pearl that whispers in her ear. For Szayet’s sake and her own, she will need to become more than a princess with a silver tongue. She will have to become a queen as history has never seen before. "A glittering triumph of a book that weaves together history and tragedy into a star-spanning epic." —Everina Maxwell, author of Winter’s Orbit

The Undying
Author: Anne Boyer
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374719489
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2020 PULITZER PRIZE IN GENERAL NONFICTION "The Undying is a startling, urgent intervention in our discourses about sickness and health, art and science, language and literature, and mortality and death. In dissecting what she terms 'the ideological regime of cancer,' Anne Boyer has produced a profound and unforgettable document on the experience of life itself." —Sally Rooney, author of Normal People "Anne Boyer’s radically unsentimental account of cancer and the 'carcinogenosphere' obliterates cliche. By demonstrating how her utterly specific experience is also irreducibly social, she opens up new spaces for thinking and feeling together. The Undying is an outraged, beautiful, and brilliant work of embodied critique." —Ben Lerner, author of The Topeka School A week after her forty-first birthday, the acclaimed poet Anne Boyer was diagnosed with highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. For a single mother living paycheck to paycheck who had always been the caregiver rather than the one needing care, the catastrophic illness was both a crisis and an initiation into new ideas about mortality and the gendered politics of illness. A twenty-first-century Illness as Metaphor, as well as a harrowing memoir of survival, The Undying explores the experience of illness as mediated by digital screens, weaving in ancient Roman dream diarists, cancer hoaxers and fetishists, cancer vloggers, corporate lies, John Donne, pro-pain ”dolorists,” the ecological costs of chemotherapy, and the many little murders of capitalism. It excoriates the pharmaceutical industry and the bland hypocrisies of ”pink ribbon culture” while also diving into the long literary line of women writing about their own illnesses and ongoing deaths: Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker, Susan Sontag, and others. A genre-bending memoir in the tradition of The Argonauts, The Undying will break your heart, make you angry enough to spit, and show you contemporary America as a thing both desperately ill and occasionally, perversely glorious. Includes black-and-white illustrations

Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9353050308
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
The kingdom of Patan is under attack from the army of Avanti. People have fled their villages to seek refuge in the city. Amidst the mounting panic, the arrival of Kaak, a young warrior from Laat, sets in motion a frantic chain of events. The Lord and Master of Gujarat is set four years after The Glory of Patan, and unfolds at dizzying speed, abounding in conspiracies, heroism and romance. From the spectacular rise of Siddhraj Jaysinh to the intrigues surrounding the consolidation of Gujarat, from the growing romance between Kaak and Manjari to the escalating tension between Munjal Mehta and Kirtidev over the future of the kingdom, this is an epic novel in the grand tradition of Alexandre Dumas. Arguably K.M. Munshi's best-known work, it deftly weaves state politics and battles with personal trials and tribulations into one glorious tapestry.
