Book Synopsis Tales of Superhuman Powers by : Csenge Virág Zalka

Download or read book Tales of Superhuman Powers written by Csenge Virág Zalka. This book was released on 2013-09-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Csenge Virag Zalka, a Hungarian storyteller, has collected 55 folktales from around the world about supernatural abilities like superhuman strength, invulnerability, flying, heightened senses, speed, invisibility, healing, agility, precognition, telepathy, fire manipulation, teleportation, water powers, and shifting. These tales represent powers that people have dreamed of, conjured up and strived for through the ages. Many of the powers are present in popular culture, making the superheroes who wield them the direct descendants of characters such as the princess who could see through walls or the invulnerable Isfandiyar. Zalka excluded stories about magic or about gods with divine powers, and focused on less well-known stories. She included information on similar heroes, the ability in the story, sources of the powers, the origin of the story, teachings in it, the recommended age group, sources, variants, and comments.

Download or read book Tales of the Astonishing Black Spark written by Charlie J. Eskew. This book was released on 2018-09-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped in a dead-end job in his Ohio hometown, watching the girl of his dreams move on to a glamorous new life in a big city--Donald McDougal's aimlessness has held him back for a long time. When a lightning strike grants him superhuman powers, he jumps at his chance to finally be somebody. But the new abilities and the pursuit of superheroic fame come with a price tag, and it may not be one he can afford. This wry debut is at once a fanboy's homage to the history of superhero storytelling in America and a keen-eyed satire of those same stories, raising questions about race and privilege that are becoming impossible to ignore.

Download or read book Tales of A Former Child Superhero written by Robert Stadnik. This book was released on 2011-03-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, five children appeared in Southern California dressed as costumes superheroes. Calling themselves the Ultimate Powers Team (UPT), they were spotted throughout the city displaying superhuman powers. Thousands witnessed them in action, but no one ever captured them on film. Eighteen months after they first appeared, they mysteriously vanished and were never heard from again. With no audio or visual evidence to prove they existed, their sightings eventually became an urban legend. Now, 23 years later, a newspaper reporter has a chance to unravel the mystery, but he's not the only one. A clandestine agency has been quietly waiting and will stop at nothing to acquire the UPT for their own gains.
