Transylvania Chronicles 2: Son of the Dragon continues the adventure begun in Dark Tides Rising. The players' characters are now centuries-old, scarred veterans of the great Jyhad, with their own estates and connections in the fledgling Camarilla, Sabbat or even both. Yet not even their great power may be enough to stand against the impaler, Dracula himself.

ISBN: 0313378347
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
An exhaustive work covering the full range of topics relating to vampires, including literature, film and television, and folklore. Encyclopedia of the Vampire: The Living Dead in Myth, Legend, and Popular Culture is a comprehensive encyclopedia relating to all phases of vampirism—in literature, film, and television; in folklore; and in world culture.

With contributions from many leading critics of horror and supernatural literature and media, the encyclopedia offers entries on leading authors of vampire literature (Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer), on important individual literary works (Dracula and Interview with the Vampire), on celebrated vampire films (the many different adaptations of Dracula, the Twilight series, Love at First Bite), and on television shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel). It also covers other significant topics pertaining to vampires, such as vampires in world folklore, humorous vampire films, and vampire lifestyle.

The History of Transylvania
Author: Ioan-Aurel Pop
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Transylvania (Romania)
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
The authors of this work - obviously of different nationalities - have tried to depict the past of all Transylvania's inhabitants. It is up to readers and particularly to specialists to assess how well they have done this. This second volume, like the first one, is only an attempt to reflect the new historiographic findings and interpretations. It tries to deepen one's knowledge of one's roots in present-day Europe, a continent still in the making, a continent of many different inhabitants, regions, ethnic groups and nations. It is our belief that the desire to know the past - far from reflecting an obtuse, selfish and past-driven attitude - is part of human nature, of our search for our roots, for the collective memory we have been creating with such hardiness and passion, just like we build our life.

From Traditional Attire to Modern Dress
Author: Constanţa Vintilă-Ghiţulescu
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443832634
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The essays in this volume discuss the visible elements, such as clothing, jewellery, the opulence of the elite, fashion and styles, but they also inform the reader about the manner in which these were connected to political and social developments. The articles in this volume highlight important themes regarding the history of textiles, the shifting of trading and manufacturing centres, the professionalization of the various fields in the history of fashion, and the connection with the introduction and proliferation of steam-powered machines and later of electrical equipment. Clothes and garments are also part of the social and political transformations brought about by the multiple modernisations of the various Balkan societies. Fabrics, colours, threads, barrels and buttons, lace and jewellery are marvellous documents that bring to life details of the remote worlds of our ancestors, helping us understand the complex meanings of sartorial appearances. The Balkans and the Orient are regions that offer promising avenues of multidisciplinary research concerning clothes and fashion as indicators of social status and political change.

History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe
Author: Marcel Cornis-Pope
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027293406
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
Continuing the work undertaken in Vol. 1 of the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe, Vol. 2 considers various topographic sites—multicultural cities, border areas, cross-cultural corridors, multiethnic regions—that cut across national boundaries, rendering them permeable to the flow of hybrid cultural messages. By focusing on the literary cultures of specific geographical locations, this volume intends to put into practice a new type of comparative study. Traditional comparative literary studies establish transnational comparisons and contrasts, but thereby reconfirm, however inadvertently, the very national borders they play down. This volume inverts the expansive momentum of comparative studies towards ever-broader regional, European, and world literary histories. While the theater of this volume is still the literary culture of East-Central Europe, the contributors focus on pinpointed local traditions and geographic nodal points. Their histories of Riga, Plovdiv, Timişoara or Budapest, of Transylvania or the Danube corridor – to take a few examples – reveal how each of these sites was during the last two-hundred years a home for a variety of foreign or ethnic literary traditions next to the one now dominant within the national borders. By foregrounding such non-national or hybrid traditions, this volume pleads for a diversification and pluralization of local and national histories. A genuine comparatist revival of literary history should involve the recognition that “treading on native grounds” means actually treading on grounds cultivated by diverse people.
