A Demon Spirit
Author: Abū Nuwās
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479834122
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Verses on hunter and quarry from a giant of Arabic poetry Arguably the greatest poet of the Arabic language, Abū Nuwās was renowned for his innovations in poetic genre and style and was a larger-than-life figure even among his contemporaries in Abbasid Baghdad. In A Demon Spirit, acclaimed translator and scholar James E. Montgomery renders this literary giant’s hunting poetry, or ṭardiyyāt, translated for the first time in vivid English. Abū Nuwās’s poems radiate brilliance, ingenuity, and lyrical attentiveness to both nature and body. These hunting poems convey the crackling energy of ruthless predators and wily prey, the worryingly uncertain outcome of perilous pursuits, and the mythic perfection of warriors both human and animal—all the while overturning genre structures and power dynamics with unforgettable imagery expressed in smooth, natural language. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

Pages : 232
Book Description
A military wolf-shifter romance. Can be read as a standalone. Many years ago, three wolf packs formed an alliance to act as a special forces team deep inside the military. Their mission was to take down criminals the human police failed to bring to justice. But it's hard being a wolf in the city, denying your most basic instincts amid intense danger, using only your elevated senses in human form, when all you truly want to do is release the beast inside. As a hitman for the Alpha Alliance, Liam's world is dark, dangerous, and deadly. He finds moments of solace on his balcony, lurking in the shadows high above the city. It’s where he first saw her—a light in the dark. He can’t help but watch as she bounces around her apartment unpacking boxes. There’s a force that pulls him toward her, making him long for a way to get closer and nearly driving his wolf mad. He never expected to watch from the shadows as the police took her away. If he wants a chance with her, he has no choice but to follow. *A reimagined version of Nikki Rose's romantic suspense novel, Crossing the Line. For those who enjoy a world with werewolves and shifters!

The strong and courageous can define their own destiny, but fate falls on all men unless they fail to act. You can control your own course, but some events, once set into motion, cannot be stopped.

Now the day has come, and succeed or fail, the fate of the Multi-Verse is once again in the hands of Hunter Jusenkyou. Its not fate, fate can be cheated, and destiny forged. But events will come to pass, as certain as the sunset. What happens then? Brave heroes will stand and fight, but the uncertain future, the unstable past, and the certain march of time will lead all things along The Inclination to Destiny.
