Book Description
Woman Blooming out of Gloom is a doctoral thesis that provides an in-depth analysis of the works of Senegalese author Mariama Bâ. By addressing such issues as marriage, polygamy, motherhood, and womanhood, Bâ was able to establish a creative space for herself and use the act of creative writing as a tool for self-affirmation. The underlying theme of most of Bâ's writings is a powerful appeal for the emancipation of women, and African women in particular. This well-crafted and engaging analysis is divided into five chapters; each of which attempts its own in-depth review of separate aspects of Bâ's works. The book ultimately endeavors to take a critical review of contemporary African socio-political reality by proposing a re-reading of Bâ's writings. The author of this book, Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar, was inspired by a sincere desire to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of Bâ's female protagonists. In so doing, the author also attempts to bring into global focus the vast socio-political-cultural realities prevalent in the African world today. Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar is an assistant professor in English who specializes in grammar, literary criticism, and fiction. Prior to this book, he has published research papers in national and international journals. For his next book he plans a comparative analysis of Mariama Bâ with female Indian authors. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JayantSCherekar

Wake Up, Percy Gloom
Author: Cathy Malkasian
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
ISBN: 160699638X
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Cartoonist and animator Cathy Malkasian follows up her 2007 graphic novel Percy Gloom (a minor classic) with the further adventures of the small, immortal man with a light-up head. In Wake Up, Percy Gloom, kindhearted Percy awakens from (what he thinks is) a 200-year nap and finds himself in a strange new land. As Percy goes on a quest to locate his mother, he encounters many inspired inventions and bizarre, and sometimes dangerous, characters and situations, such as singing goats and furniture parades. Through it all he pines for his long-lost love and soul mate, Miss Margaret―but his love may not be as doomed as he thinks. Malkasian’s lush and detailed pencil drawings, surreal humor, absurdist characters and stunning visual storytelling ensure that fans of the first graphic novel will find the sequel just as fantastical, touching, and hilarious; new readers will discover a gorgeously rendered world of luminous landscapes, gentle humor, and a cast composed variously of wise, naive, and flawed characters in a wide-ranging story that stands on its own.

Book Description
Under the leadership of the heroic Kith-Kanan, a new and mighty elven kingdom rises in the wake of the Kinslayer War Kith-Kanan, the leader of the renegade elven society called Qualinesti, has fought long and hard to eradicate slavery in the elven lands and to achieve a harmonious society where all can live freely and equally. When he learns that a secret slave trade is underway in his own city, he sends his warrior daughter, Verhanna, to lead a battalion against the slavers. As the fight for freedom continues and Verhanna sends word of her findings, Kith-Kanan forgets his many great deeds and is haunted only by his failures.
