Being Dragonborn
Author: Mike Piero
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476643563
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the bestselling and most influential video games of the past decade. From the return of world-threatening dragons to an ongoing civil war, the province of Skyrim is rich with adventure, lore, magic, history, and stunning vistas. Beyond its visual spectacle alone, Skyrim is an exemplary gameworld that reproduces out-of-game realities, controversies, and histories for its players. Being Dragonborn, then, comes to signify a host of ethical and ideological choices for the player, both inside and outside the gameworld. These essays show how playing Skyrim, in many ways, is akin to "playing" 21st century America with its various crises, conflicts, divisions, and inequalities. Topics covered include racial inequality and white supremacy, gender construction and misogyny, the politics of modding, rhetorics of gameplay, and narrative features.

Book Description
If I am to believe the words that I am reading, this is a journal from my daughter, I must accept what she writes, where she has been, what she has been doing, to think otherwise would be to accept that this book is the writings of a deranged person, lost to reality and who has most likely done harm to herself and her friend and that is not my daughter. Since the discovery of this first book, two more have appeared, so I know Jade is alive and for the most part safe, for now these books are my only tie with her and I will not give up on her so I have published her journals in the hope that someone may read them and know more, that one day she will return. What follows are the writings of Jade Avanasy my daughter from a world beyond ours, if I am correct outside our Universe, a place and time not of here called the Realmscape, a place she and her friend Dax were pulled into the night she went missing, one filled with fairy folk, old lore, magic, dragons, gods and demons.

Elric In the Dream Realms
Author: Michael Moorcock
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 034551498X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Kinslayer. Soul reaver. Sorcerer. Thief. And last emperor of a cruel, decadent race. Elric of Melniboné is all of these–and more. His life is sustained by drugs and magic–and energy sucked from the victims of his vampiric black sword, Stormbringer, a weapon feared by men and gods alike. Denied the oblivion he seeks, poised between a tragic past he cannot escape and a terrifying future he is doomed to bring about, Elric is a hero like no other. Del Rey is proud to present the fifth installment in its definitive collection featuring the immortal creation of Michael Moorcock, named Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Highlights include an epic novel of Elric’s early years, The Fortress of the Pearl; the script of the graphic novel Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer; a previously unpublished proposal for a new series; and Hugo Award—winning author Neil Gaiman’s moving fictional tribute to Elric, the short story “One Life, Furnished in Early Moorcock.” Gorgeously illustrated by Michael Wm. Kaluta, Elric: In the Dream Realms is a dream come true for sword-and-sorcery fans.

The Carnival Trilogy
Author: Wilson Harris
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571300375
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
This volume, introduced by the author, brings together three novels first published separately. 'The trilogy comprises Carnival (1985), The Infinite Rehearsal (1987) and The Four Banks of the River of Space (1990), novels linked by metaphors borrowed from theatre, traditional carnival itself and literary mythology. The characters make Odyssean voyages through time and space, witnessing and re-enacting the calamitous history of mankind, sometimes assuming sacrificial roles in an attempt to save modern civilisation from self-destruction.' Independent on Sunday ' The Four Banks of the River of Space is a kind of quantum Odyssey... in which the association of ideas is not logical but... a 'magical imponderable dreaming'. The dreamer is Anselm, another of Harris's alter egos, like Everyman Masters in Carnival and Robin Redbreast Glass in The Infinite Rehearsal... Together, they represent one of the most remarkable fictional achievements in the modern canon.' Listener
