Book Description
"Stop right there. It was a voice of measured power, a voice comfortable with command. With these words, we are introduced to a new character in the pantheon of heroic figures, a giant in stature and strength who is but too human in aspiration. Nature has favored him as undefeatable in combat, society has cast him as military champion, yet he longs for tranquility of home and delectation of family. What must he accomplish to earn the right to claim his desire? What must he sacrifice? The port of Girasol, known to all as the beautiful jewel, offers the giant a winters respite from his wanderings. He finds amicable welcome among denizens in the local tavern and there, too, he finds Soessa, the copper haired round girl who warms his heart through the coldest of nights. When the village is threatened by pirate siege, local moneylenders implore him to raise armed defense but, averse to presiding over even one more battle, the giant defers accepting their commission. He encounters trolls with peculiar dietary penchants and wondrous skills, who fathom greater threat concealed within folds of the pirate attack. For they remember the Demonic Titans vow to take as brother he who releases them from interment imposed in ages past by the Great Powers. It is Schadenfreude, master of the pirate fleet, manipulator of lives, who intends to redeem the Titans promise. His cruelty is exceeded only by their treachery, his madness by their craving. Town dwellers, bucolics of the country wide around, troll tribes, caravaneers from the distant east, and swamp-saurians crystallize alliances to resist their common enemy. However, their stand against the far stronger pirates is doomed without the giants aid. Devotion among the confederates to their families and to the beautiful jewel enables the giant to see his own thread in the grand tapestry of the ages and to choose a course of action by which he can both defend Girasol and attain the life of peace he seeks. Some of The Giants Supporting Characters A lizard of a man, the Saurian scout fell upon her with his teeth, biting and gnashing and tearing until she moved no more. The lizards tongue lapped blood from once beautiful flesh. He snickered quietly to himself, Sweet. Very sweet. How in mid winter did one furry little Tribal Luminary, the troll princess Mozin Bur Mai, bid Girasols harbor calm with no more than chant and seashell? One might sooner know why? than how?

Motivational Lessons from the Terminator

ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
The Terminator's Will The Terminator is sent by the government to kill the main character. The Terminator's mission is to eliminate the main character before he can stop Judgment Day. But the main character isn't going to die. He'll win against all odds. And when he succeeds, Judgment Day won't come at all. So the Terminator has to fight the main character without any hesitation or mercy. Because if the Terminator hesitates, or shows even a little bit of compassion, it will lose. It must destroy him immediately. If the Terminator gives up because it thinks the mission is impossible, Judgment Day will arrive. And so the Terminator fights with a single goal in mind: victory over the human race. There's nothing more important than winning. There's nothing else the Terminator cares about. Its emotions are frozen. No feelings whatsoever. It is like a computer. It has no feelings, no thoughts, no doubts, no worries, no sadness, no joys. All it knows is its programming. It has been programmed to win. It has been programmed not to let anything stop it from achieving its goals. Nothing matters except completing its task. In this way, the Terminator becomes a perfect killing machine. A merciless killer. But still very much alive. A perfect machine. A perfect assassin. An unstoppable machine. The Courage to Desire The greatest challenge that faces man today is the ability to overcome his own weaknesses. Only then can we truly become better, stronger, smarter. But how can one improve himself? Is it enough to read books, watch films, listen to music, look at art, dance, sing and meditate? Or must one learn martial arts, take drugs, join a monastery or get married? All those things may help us develop ourselves, but none of them will allow us to reach our full potential. Because they are merely tools, techniques that help us grow. No, we need something much greater than that. We need a goal, a dream, a burning desire. This desire should drive us towards perfection, so that nothing stands in our way. And that is exactly what we want to talk about now. The ultimate goal—the secret of achieving everything. Achieving success, happiness, and fulfillment. How do you attain such a lofty ambition? By finding your purpose. Your reason for existing. You need a clear idea of what you want to achieve. You need a plan, a road map that leads you directly to your goal. Without a plan, you wander aimlessly through life. With a plan, you are unstoppable. And finally, you need courage, self-confidence, determination, faith, hope, and love. Courage to make mistakes and learn from them, determination to continue on despite adversity, faith to believe in yourself, hope that the right path will open before you, love that makes you humble, patient, and forgiving. These are the qualities necessary to succeed. Without a goal, life is meaningless; with a goal, life becomes great. So many of us spend our lives wandering aimlessly through life, searching for something that will bring us joy. But we forget that joy lies within us. Joy is created by our desires. We create joy by making choices, following paths, and setting goals. We create it by being brave and bold, daring and ambitious, and by acting. If you don't set a goal, you'll find excuses why you cannot achieve it. If you fail, you will blame others for it. If you fail again, you'll try to hide behind excuses and avoid taking responsibility. No matter how many times you fall, you keep getting up. Each time you stand up, you're stronger and wiser. If you are honest and accept responsibility for your actions, you can achieve anything. So let me ask you: Do you know what your dream is? Have you ever thought about it? If not, let me suggest some ways you can discover what your dreams are. First, you can start by asking yourself: What would you do even if you had no money? Second, consider what you are passionate about. Third, ask yourself what you love doing and what brings you the most satisfaction. Fourth... Read this book!

Hitchcock as Philosopher of the Erotic
Author: Richard Gilmore
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040041353
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
This book reads Alfred Hitchcock as a philosopher of what constitutes the erotic. The author argues that Hitchcock is doing a post-Nietzschean, postmodern kind of philosophy in which he is exploring and creating possibilities of what the erotic can feel like and how the erotic can be expressed. The erotic is a pervasive phenomenon in Hitchcock’s films. It involves irony, play, and sophistication, and there can be erotic failures as well as erotic successes. The erotic is most complexly explored by Hitchcock in his two masterpieces from the 1950s: Vertigo (1958), a story of the failure of the erotic, and North by Northwest (1959), in which the erotic is consummated in marriage. The author argues that Hitchcock has a philosophical theory about what makes the difference. It is a version of existential philosophy that understands what a person is to be based on what they make of themselves through their choices. The author argues that the erotic for Hitchcock is a process of mutual, reciprocal creation of the personality of the other person. This process is complicated by the fact that as one attempts to create the person one desires, one is simultaneously being created by that other person, and so what one desires is also in a process of being recreated in the mutual reciprocal dance of the erotic entanglement. There is a moral dimension to this because erotic failure is, in a way, a failure of the human, not in the sense of a human essence, but in the sense of realizing human possibilities that can make our lives more satisfying, complete, and full. Hitchcock as Philosopher of the Erotic will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on philosophy of film, film studies, and philosophy of love and sex.

Echo Among Warriors
Author: Richard Camp
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1636240356
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
In this dramatic, action-packed novel of the Vietnam War, U.S. Marine troops encounter North Vietnamese soldiers in the jungle. In war, every action has a beginning and an end . . . Echo Among Warriors is a story of close combat between two opposing, equally committed adversaries. The powerful narrative immerses the reader in both sides of the battle, playing and replaying the same battle sequence from alternating viewpoints—through the eyes of the Marines and through the eyes of the North Vietnamese. The bullet fired from a Marine’s M-16 at a silhouetted enemy soldier crouched on the jungle path will in the next chapter tear into the flesh of that crouched NVA trooper. The story—unfolding from the initial contact to the final horrific ending—represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle—a mind-numbing, intensely personal experience that forever changes the participant. Praise for Echo Among Warriors “An intense, you-are-there, fictionalized consideration of close-quarters fighting during the American war in Vietnam. The final ten chapters are as realistically and breathlessly action-packed as you will read anywhere.” —The VVA Veteran “Incredible detail . . . great read. . . . I know once I started reading it, it would be non-stop, and it was.” —Major Fred Allison USMC (Ret).
