Book Description
Two crowns. Two kingdoms. One chance to rule. Nor and King Casper are captured by the fay army and forced to face the indomitable Faerie Queen, Marasina. At her command, Casper is thrown into a mysterious prison while an even sinister fate is in store for Nor—a deadly fay poison that reveals Nor’s true nature. She’s not only half-fay. She is Queen Marasina’s heir. Revealed to be like the very creatures she despises, Nor must not only find a way to free Casper but also navigate a court that is as deadly as it is beautiful. Her allies are few, and though Pel claims to want friendship, Nor finds she cannot forgive his betrayal. As tensions mount and war looms between the kingdoms, Nor must choose a side, before it’s too late. In this epic conclusion to the Gold Spun duology, Nor discovers that a glamour and a curse may be two sides of the same coin.

Book Description
This is a book about curses. It is not about curses as insults or offensive language but curses as petitions to the divine world to render judgment and execute harm on identified, hostile forces. In the ancient world, curses functioned in a way markedly different from our own, and it is into the world of the ancient Near East that we must go in order to appreciate the scope of their influence. For the ancient Near Easterners, curses had authentic meaning. Curses were part of their life and religion. They were not inherently magic or features of superstitions, nor were they mere curiosities or trifling antidotes. They were real and effective. They were employed proactively and reactively to manage life’s many vicissitudes and maintain social harmony. They were principally protective, but they were also the cause of misfortune, illness, depression, and anything else that undermined a comfortable, well-balanced life. Every member of society used them, from slave to king, from young to old, from men and women to the deities themselves. They crossed cultural lines and required little or no explanation, for curses were the source of great evil. In other words, curses were universal. Because curses were woven into the very fabric of every known ancient Near Eastern society, they emerge frequently and in a wide variety of venues. They appear on public and private display objects, on tomb stelae, tomb lintels, and sarcophagi, on ancient kudurrus and narûs. They are used in political, administrative, social, religious, and familial contexts. They are the subject of incantations. They are tools that exorcise demons and dispel disease; they ban, protect, and heal. This is the phenomenology of cursing in the ancient Near East, and this is what the present work explores.

Book Description
Cette étude porte sur le motif de l'impossibilité d'agir, récurrent dans la littérature dramatique et philosophique occidentale depuis "Hamlet" à nos jours. Hamlet n'est en effet pas seul à avoir des difficultés à passer à l'acte : il en est de même pour le Faust de Marlowe, le Samson de Milton, le Prométhée de Shelley, et Estragon et Vladimir dans "En attendant Godot". L'analyse de l'inaction de ces personnages éclaire les modèles d'action déployés dans les textes philosophiques en question : certains essais de Donald Davidson, les "Deux traités sur le gouvernement" de Locke, "La naissance de la tragédie" de Nietzsche, "Auteur et héros en activité esthétique" de Bakhtin, "Les investigations philosophiques" de Wittgenstein, les essais sur la guerre du Golfe de Baudrillard et Lyotard. Le théâtre d'Aeschylle et la conception aristotélicienne de l'action permettent d'évaluer les limites introduites par la catégorie du sujet dans le modèle d'action qui prédomine dans la modernité.
