Book Description
Earth has been dying... Would you become God to save a planet and her people? A manic genius, young girl, lone wolf, and synthetic-droid have their destinies intertwined... Sage Solei is a passionate girl seeking to give her little brother Gideon the love they lack. She functions as a protector, swearing to her father that she will always look after him. Her parents, along with the rest of the planet, spend the totality of their days slaving in Earth’s mines, forced to dig up a raw, mysterious power source named “Hard-B.” Humanity resides on two worlds: Earth and Alton IV. As part of a one-sided deal with beings from Alton IV, two conditions must be met. First, The Supreme Chancellor of Earth must make the poor slave in the Hard-B mines. Second, a fresh crop of wealthy citizens must be shipped off to Alton IV for unspecified reasons. Taking both worlds by sudden surprise, the Supreme Chancellor decides to sever the deal in the name of freedom. It is for freedom, right? From that decision, war begins to loom in the space between the two planets. The charismatic Supreme Chancellor inspires the people of Earth to support a war between worlds. Meanwhile...A powerful group on Alton IV believes that the Supreme Chancellor shouldn’t live. The entities from Alton IV send an emissary to find the Supreme Chancellor’s replacement while the group, headed by the powerful Mister Dominic, work on a plan to assassinate the troublesome despot. Chaos proceeds to bloom. A determined Sage fights to keep her brother safe while the planet begins to delve deeper toward war, madness, and lawlessness. In Sage’s journey, she uncovers the truth about Earth’s history, Alton IV’s foundation, the Supreme Chancellor’s true nature, the mysterious Mister Dominic, the war, and even herself. “Rais Tuluka describes a riveting story with strong characters.

French Toast
Author: Harriet Welty Rochefort
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312199784
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Peter Mayle may have spent a year in Provence, but Harriet Welty Rochefort writes from the wise perspective of one who has spent more than twenty years living among the French. From a small town in Iowa to the City of Light, Harriet has done what so many of dream of one day doing-she picked up and moved to France. But it has not been twenty years of fun and games; Harriet has endured her share of cultural bumps, bruises, and psychic adjustments along the way. In French Toast, she shares her hard-earned wisdom and does as much as one woman can to demystify the French. She makes sense of their ever-so-French thoughts on food, money, sex, love, marriage, manners, schools, style, and much more. She investigates such delicate matters as how to eat asparagus, how to approach Parisian women, how to speak to merchants, how to drive, and, most important, how to make a seven-course meal in a silk blouse without an apron! Harriet's first-person account offers both a helpful reality check and a lot of very funny moments.

Baudelaire in English
Author: Charles Baudelaire
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780140446449
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Perhaps the most explosively original mind of his century, Charles Baudelaire has proved profoundly influential well beyond the borders of nineteenth-century France. Writers from Lord Alfred Douglas to Edna St. Vincent Millay, from Aldous Huxley to Seamus Heaney, from Arthur Symons to John Ashbery, from Basil Bunting to Robert Lowell, have all attempted to transmit in English his psychological and sexual complexity, his images of urban alienation. This superb addition to the Poets in Translation series brings together the translations of his poetry and prose poems that best reveal the different facets of Baudelaire's personality: the haughtily defiant artist, the tormented bohemian, the savage yet tender lover, and the celebrant of strange and haunted cityscapes.

Designing UNESCO
Author: ChristopherE.M. Pearson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351569643
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 703
Book Description
Designing UNESCO: Art, Architecture and International Politics at Mid-Century represents the first full-length monograph on the genesis, construction and reception of the Paris headquarters of the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The book traces the long and complex birth of UNESCO's permanent seat from its conception in 1950 to its inauguration in 1958, showing how its history constitutes a unique nexus of modernist practices in twentieth-century international politics, art, architecture and criticism. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished archival material and examining critical reception of the building in the local and international press, Christopher Pearson's analysis operates on formal, structural and theoretical levels, revealing many of the largely unspoken assumptions of modern architecture at mid-century and elucidating the conflicted relation between art and science in the post-war period. The volume also throws new light on many of the major architects and artists of the period, among them Breuer, Gropius, Le Corbusier and Eero Saarinen, as well as Picasso, Moore, Mir?rp, Calder and Noguchi. Designing UNESCO is a compelling and original account of one of the most important, yet under-appreciated, buildings of twentieth-century modernism.

Claude Debussy and the Poets
Author: Arthur Wenk
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520028272
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Paul Dukas wrote about Debussy that the strongest influence he experienced was that of the poets, not that of the musicians. This book undertakes to demonstrate that thesis by studying Debussy's settings of songs by Banville, Verlaine, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Louÿs, and Debussy himself. A particular insight may be gained in the comparison of six poems by Verlaine set to music by both Fauré and Debussy. The book includes a poetic/musical analysis of Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, based on the poem by Mallarmé.
