The Blackgod
Author: Greg Keyes
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504002148
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
In this “strikingly imaginative” sequel to The Waterborn, an emperor’s daughter flees into the wasteland, pursued by an angry god (Kirkus Reviews). The daughter of the emperor, Hezhi has been blessed with untold strength: powers that could change the world. Fearful of this teenage upstart, the god known as the River demands that she be brought in line—or put to death, as all who challenge the River must be. He sends an assassin to follow her, but with the help of a barbarian named Perkar, Hezhi fights back—and nearly destroys the River altogether. She flees the city, striking out into the wilderness in hopes of finding a safe haven beyond the reach of the River’s agents. But no matter where she goes, Hezhi cannot find peace. When she meets the River’s brother, the trickster known as the Blackgod, he offers a way to destroy the River at the source. Caught between two warring deities, Hezhi must learn to master her power—or watch as the world is consumed by water.

Hard to Be a God
Author: Arkady Strugatsky
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613748310
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely known as the greatest Russian writers of science fiction, and their 1964 novel Hard to Be a God is considered one of the greatest of their works. It tells the story of Don Rumata, who is sent from Earth to the medieval kingdom of Arkanar with instructions to observe and to influence, but never to directly interfere. Masquerading as an arrogant nobleman, a dueler and a brawler, Don Rumata is never defeated but can never kill. With his doubt and compassion, and his deep love for a local girl named Kira, Rumata wants to save the kingdom from the machinations of Don Reba, the First Minister to the king. But given his orders, what role can he play? Hard to Be a God has inspired a computer role-playing game and two movies, including Aleksei German's long-awaited swan song. Yet until now the only English version (out of print for over thirty years) was based on a German translation, and was full of errors, infelicities, and misunderstandings. This new edition—translated by Olena Bormashenko, whose translation of the authors' Roadside Picnic has received widespread acclaim, and supplemented with a new foreword by Hari Kunzru and an afterword by Boris Strugatsky, both of which supply much-needed context—reintroduces one of the most profound Soviet-era novels to an eager audience.

When God Was Black
Author: John Brinson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781432703776
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
"Man Know Thyself."Did you know that the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Ethiopia, Egypt, "Middle East," India, and Asia were Black? What is God? What color is God? What is the substance of God? Does it matter what color God is? Are the images, and symbols of a White God death to us? What is the Self? What does Self and God share in common? How is God, Self, and Ancestors related? To know the Self involves knowing God. We must obtain knowledge of Self. The Self is the life force, and it is not an isolated event captured within an impenetrable physical body. The Self is rather, an extensive spiritual entity that permeates each of us, and back to our first ancestors. The circle of Self that unites us with one another; to our ancestors, and God has been disconnected. consequently, we have become estranged from our essence (God). We must find continuity again. The information and suggestions in this book are intended to motivate and point out one of the roads Black people can travel towards becoming what God intended them to be; that is, unique and personal manifestations of God in this splintered and oppressive world.
