Book Description
In this breathlessly romantic, whimsically magical Cinderella remix, two young men discover true love amid a tangled web of societal and familial expectations. Elister Hesta (El) works under the strict rule of his vicious stepmother, cruel stepsister, and chronically unwell stepbrother. Shy and obedient, El doesn’t dare dream of a life beyond the Withers Estate. But El has a secret talent he’s never shared with anyone: He can talk to animals. And he’s about to find out the true extent of the power he holds within, as well as the wonders and dangers surrounding him and his true identity. . . Prince Anthony Enchanting, heir to the throne of Prosperity, has always had to set aside his free-spirited, artistic endeavors in favour of royal responsibilities. Worse still, he is expected to marry a well-bred lady that his father—and the Court—approves of. During a fateful encounter in an enchanted forest, Anthony meets El, the gentlest, most beautiful man he has ever met and pretty soon sparks start to fly. So begins a tender romance that the two men must keep secret, each of them longing for freedom and a more tolerant kingdom. Meanwhile, sparks are flying elsewhere. Caught up in El and Anthony’s orbit, Prince Anthony’s confidant, the cursed Duke Reginald Drake, and El’s stepbrother, Sebastian, are navigating an increasingly complicated dynamic. Tensions mount, secrets abound, and El and Anthony must choose to fight for revolutionary love and happiness . . . or risk losing everything they’ve ever wanted.

Book Description
"Oh devs who art in the issue queue. Hallowed be thy code. Thy commits merge without conflict. Thy will be done in production as it is on local. I'm sure you guys are busy and all, but I can't log out." As a programmer, Ike knows all about Virtual Dive Experiences (VDX), but when he suddenly wakes up in a virtual game he's never heard of, he's too busy struggling to survive to worry about how he got there. Luckily, he's got a trick up his sleeve: The ability to program custom enchantments for his gear. He'll need that and more to figure out what's going on, since there's no tutorial and True Calling plays by its own rules: Your class and race are chosen for you, the NPCs are indistinguishable from the players, every quest is unique, and the GMs keep leaving Ike's prayers unanswered.

Art and Enchantment
Author: Patrick Curry
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000853292
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book concerns the experience of enchantment in art. Considering the essential characteristics, dynamics and conditions of the experience of enchantment in relation to art, including liminality, it offers studies of different kinds of artistic experience and activity, including painting, music, fiction and poetry, before exploring the possibility of a life oriented to enchantment as the activity of art itself. With attention to the complex relationship between wonder in art and the programmatic disenchantment to which it is often subject, the author draws on the thought of a diverse range of philosophers, sociological theorists and artists, to offer an understanding of art through the idea of enchantment, and enchantment through art. An accessible study, richly illustrated with experience – both that of the author and others – Art and Enchantment will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and anyone with interests in the nature of aesthetic experience.

Pages : 341
Book Description
"Adam Smith continues to dazzle and sparkle! With the passage of time, Supermoney has, if anything, added to its power to inspire, arouse, provoke, motivate, inform, illuminate, entertain, and guide a whole new generation of readers, while marvelously reprising the global money show for earlier fans." -David M. Darst, author of The Art of Asset Allocation Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist, Morgan Stanley Individual Investor Group "Nobody has written about the craft of money management with more insight, humor, and understanding than Adam Smith. Over the years, he has consistently separated wisdom from whimsy, brilliance from bluster, and character from chicanery." -Byron R. Wien, coauthor of Soros on Soros Chief Investment Strategist, Pequot Capital Management Supermoney may be even more relevant today than when it was first published nearly twenty-five years ago. Written in the bright and funny style that became Adam Smith's trademark, this book gives a view inside institutions, professionals, and the nature of markets that has rarely been shown before or since. "Adam Smith" was the first to introduce an obscure fund manager in Omaha, Nebraska, named Warren Buffett. In this new edition, Smith provides a fresh perspective in an updated Preface that contextualizes the applicability of the markets of the 1960s and 1970s to today's markets. Things change, but sometimes the more they change, the more they stay the same.
