Death's Collector - Void Walker
Author: Bill McCurry
Publisher: Infinite Monkeys Publishing LLC
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
It was just a little bit of treason. The petty, vicious gods demand that Bib the sorcerer lure his friend, the young king, into a losing war. Bib thinks he’s clever enough to arrange things so that the king is defeated yet keeps his throne - and his head. But the king won’t listen until Bib crushes some traitors for him. Faced with rebellious nobles, mystical killers, and allies he can’t control, Bib finds that cleverness needs a sword and some vicious magic to back it up. Because if he fails, the gods have torture, death, and even destruction beyond death waiting for him. They may even point and laugh. Struggling across a landscape of brutal armies, immortal vengeance, and a highly aggravated ex-lover, Bib does what he does best: mock the pretentious, take no crap, and murder people who almost certainly deserve it. Death’s Collector: Void-Walker is the fourth novel in the darkly irreverent Death-Cursed Wizard series, which follows Bib the lethal sorcerer as he strives against cruel villains, bad sorcerers, petty gods, and his inner demons - which, like a fool, he feeds regularly.

So We Died
Author: Levi Shalit
Publisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 081736174X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
"So We Died (Azoy zaynen mir geshtorbn) is a translation from the Yiddish of a powerful eyewitness account of life in the Shavl (Šiauliai, Lithuania) ghetto from 1941 to 1944. For two-and-a-half years, 5,000 Jews were confined in the ghetto in Shavl/Šiauliai, Lithuania's third biggest city, which is located between Kovno/Kaunas to the south and Riga, Latvia, to the north. In contrast to other key European ghettos, few documents survive from the Shavl ghetto. Three accounts of the Shavl ghetto years exist, yet to date none has been published in English. Among these accounts, Levi Shalit's stands out for its power, beauty, and vision. Shalit was a true literary stylist who sought to convey the story of the ghetto with nuance and vibrancy. He was an acute psychological observer who wrestled with profound questions about the human condition. His work offers unique insights into the motivations, the inner and outer conflicts, and the desperate challenges facing his community. His unflinching honesty takes us to the heart of issues that matter deeply for our understanding of the Holocaust, and of ourselves. Composed shortly after the war, Shalit's account proceeds not day by day but through a carefully constructed set of themes and a series of stories. Shalit's intention was not simply to document the events he lived through, but to present them in compelling story form. His work is a model of remembrance and witnessing. Section One, "Oh, Israel, People of Faith," begins with the German invasion in June of 1941 and describes the start of the occupation, with its executions, restrictions, prohibitions, and humiliations, and the massacre carried out by Germans and Lithuanians throughout the country during July and August. The section concludes with the transfer of Shavl's 5,000 surviving Jews into the ghetto. Section Two, "So We Lived," describes ghetto life in all its facets: the overarching German command, the Lithuanian administration, and the Jewish council that oversaw food distribution, housing, labor, education, a synagogue, a police force, and other social structures. Internal discipline, quarrels, and contact with authorities and Lithuanian neighbors are also described. This section contains a series of stories featuring individual characters. Section Three, "The 'Masada' Book," describes the attempts to organize an underground resistance group, in which Shalit was an active participant. Section Four, "The Community Dies," begins with the transformation of the ghetto into a concentration camp and includes the seizure and deportation of the ghetto's children. The section ends with the ghetto's liquidation and the journey to the Stutthof concentration camp, from which most of the Jewish men were taken to Dachau"--

Hmong Refugees in the New World
Author: Christopher Thao Vang
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476622620
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Almost no one in the West had heard of the Hmong before National Geographic ran a cover story on the Southeast Asian ethnic group that had allied with the United States in the Vietnam War, and few knew of them before their arrival in the U.S. and other Western nations in 1975. Originating in China centuries ago, they have been known by various names--Miao, Meo, Miaozi, Meng or San Miao--some of them derogatory. The Hmong in the West are war-displaced refugees from China and Laos, though they have been misidentified as belonging to other ethnic groups. This mislabeling has caused confusion about the Hmong and their history. This book details the history of the Hmong and their journey from Eastern to Western countries, providing a clear understanding of an immigrant culture little understood by the American public. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
