Book Description
Anaya. That's her name. The young temptress that's come to test my will. No matter how hard I try, her every seductive move breaks me, turning me into a monster who won't settle until he's had a taste. She's the nanny. The last woman on this earth I should be looking at, let alone desire. And to make matters worse, I only have myself to blame. I'm the reason my wife is gone. That same reason that left me wandering aimlessly in the desert, trying to find a way back to my kids. After fighting death itself, I make my way home, only to be served the cruelest redemption life has to offer. Anaya. A bitter chuckle falls from my lips because the irony is just too good. Her name, it means God's answer. But in truth, she's His torture, sent to end me once and for all.

The World of Homer
Author: Andrew Lang
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
In the perpetual running fight about the Homeric Homer, Mr. Andrew Lang has been for some years a most prominent champion. In his latest return to the fray, " The World of Homer " (Jazzybee Publishing), he lays about him in a very joyous and triumphant mood. His foemen are all those who hold, in some form or other, that " the Iliad is a mosaic produced by a long series of Ionian additions to an Achaean ' kernel.' " Against them he maintains that '' the Iliad is, in the main, the work of a single poet, as is shown by the unity of thought, temper, character and ethos " ; that it is " a work of one brief period, because it bears all the notes of one age, and is absolutely free from the most marked traits of religion, rites, society, and superstition that characterise the preceding Aegean, and the later ' Dipylon,' Ionian, Archaic, and historic periods in Greek life and art" Homer is an Achaean poet, composing for Achaean auditors at a time when "the glow of Aegean (late Minoan, Mycenean) culture still flushed the sky." In support of his contention he writes nearly three hundred pages under such captions as "The Homeric World in War," "Homer and Ionia" "Bronze and Iron," "Burial and the Future Life," and "The Great Discrepancies." It goes without saying that the argumentation is serious. Some historians have long been in accord with Mr. Lang's principal views, while differing from him about many details ; but from friend and foe alike the book deserves attention.

Empires of Bronze: The Shadow of Troy (Empires of Bronze #5)
Author: Gordon Doherty
Publisher: Gordon Doherty
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
The war at Troy has raged for ten years. Its final throes will echo through eternity… 1258 BC: Surrounded and outnumbered by the army of Agamemnon, King Priam and his Trojan forces fight desperately to defend their city. In the lulls between battle, all talk inevitably turns to the mighty ally that has not yet arrived to their aid. Agamemnon will weep for mercy, the Trojans say, when the eastern horizons darken with the endless ranks of the Hittite Empire. King Hattu has endured a miserable time since claiming the Hittite throne. Vassals distance themselves while rival empires circle, mocking him as an illegitimate king. Worst of all, the army of the Hittites is but a memory, destroyed in the civil war that won him the throne. Knowing that he must honour his empire’s oath to protect Troy, he sets off for Priam’s city with almost nothing, praying that the dreams he has endured since his youth – of Troy in ruins – can be thwarted. All the way, an ancient mantra rings in his head: Hittites should always heed their dreams.
