Book Description
Prince Bennett grew up listening to tales of adventures from the kings knights, and the thirteen-year-old prince longed for adventure. Learning of a military excursion led by his uncle to the Southern Mountains, Bennett convinced his father, the king, to allow him to join his uncle. Along their route, Bennett became intrigued by a young lady he met at an inn. When he saw her again in the city of Cortus, he arranged to spend time with her. He found her company refreshing and challenging because she didnt deliberately allow him to win games and she wasnt afraid to disagree with him. It was a new experience for the prince. As the kings son, Bennett was accustomed to giving orders and not following anyones rules except for those of his parents. Melissa decided to go in search of her missing cousins and to retrieve the magical talisman called the Zoldox, which kept away the Edu, cavern-dwelling creatures who emerged from their caverns at night to scour the countryside in search of food, which included humans. Bennett agreed to accompany Melissa even though he knew that such an adventure was almost certain to fail. Together they came up with a workable plan to get through the caverns to the other side of the mountains. It worked, but along the way, they have terrifying encounters with the Edu. Once through the caverns, Prince Bennett and Melissa face a new threatbandits. They both became prisoners of the outlaw leader, Thoe. His cleverness and good planning enabled Bennett to free himself and Melissa and retrieve the Zoldox.

The Holocaust and European Societies
Author: Frank Bajohr
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137569840
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
This book explores the Holocaust as a social process. Although the mass murder of European Jews was essentially the result of political-ideological decisions made by the Nazi state leadership, the events of the Holocaust were also part of a social dynamic. All European societies experienced developments that led to the social exclusion, persecution and murder of the continent’s Jews. This volume therefore questions Raul Hilberg ́s category of the ‘bystander’. In societies where the political order expects citizens to endorse the exclusion of particular groups in the population, there cannot be any completely uninvolved bystanders. Instead, this book examines the multifarious forms of social action and behaviour connected with the Holocaust. It focuses on institutions and persons, helpers, co-perpetrators, facilitators and spectators, beneficiaries and profiteers, as well as Jewish victims and Jewish organisations trying to cope with the dynamics of exclusion and persecution.

The First to Be Destroyed
Author: Witold Medykowski
Publisher: Judaism and Jewish Life
ISBN: 9781618114846
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Jewish community of the city of Kleczew came into existence in the sixteenth century. It remained large and strong throughout the next four hundred years, and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it constituted 40-60% of the total population. The German army entered Kleczew on September 15, 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II. The communities of Kleczew and the vicinity were among the first Jewish collectives in Europe to be totally destroyed. The events presented in this book reveal that the organization of deportations and the methods of mass murder conducted in this district, by Kommando Lange, served as a model that would be applied later in the death camps during the mass extermination of Polish and European Jewry. If so, it was in the woods near Kleczew that the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" began.

The Cambridge History of Science Fiction

ISBN: 1316733017
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en

Book Description
The first science fiction course in the American academy was held in the early 1950s. In the sixty years since, science fiction has become a recognized and established literary genre with a significant and growing body of scholarship. The Cambridge History of Science Fiction is a landmark volume as the first authoritative history of the genre. Over forty contributors with diverse and complementary specialties present a history of science fiction across national and genre boundaries, and trace its intellectual and creative roots in the philosophical and fantastic narratives of the ancient past. Science fiction as a literary genre is the central focus of the volume, but fundamental to its story is its non-literary cultural manifestations and influence. Coverage thus includes transmedia manifestations as an integral part of the genre's history, including not only short stories and novels, but also film, art, architecture, music, comics, and interactive media.

Seduction and Celebrity
Author: Quintin Colville
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 0500252203
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The first publication to focus on the fashionable, ambitious, Emma Hamilton, an influential historical figure in her own right Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from humble origins to national and international fame as a model, performer, trendsetter, and interpreter of neo-classical fashion, though she was probably best known as the mistress of Lord Nelson and the muse of the English portrait painter George Romney. Usually portrayed in a passive and supporting role as muse or lover, her tragic trajectory from childhood prostitution to final destitution and neglect has been used to present her story as being by turns sordid and ridiculous. This landmark publication recovers Emma Hamilton from myth and misrepresentation, and reveals her as the active and influential historical actor she truly was. The arc of this life—her ambitions, successes, and hardships–is viewed through a new lens, one that places her in a wider context of female celebrity. Accompanying a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, this book provides a fresh evaluation of her artistic undertakings, cultural achievements, and legacy.

Book Description
"James Tent recounts how these men and women from all over Germany and from all walks of life struggled to survive in an increasingly hostile society, even as their Jewish relatives were disappearing into the East. It draws on extensive interviews with twenty survivors, many of whom were teenagers when Hitler came to power, to show how "half-Jews" coped with conditions on a day-to-day basis, and how the legacy of the hatred they suffered still lingers in their minds."
