Book Synopsis Wrestling with the Devil by : Ngugi wa Thiong'o
Download or read book Wrestling with the Devil written by Ngugi wa Thiong'o. This book was released on 2018-03-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors’ Choice "A welcome addition to the vast literature produced by jailed writers across the centuries . . . [a] thrilling testament to the human spirit." —Ariel Dorfman, The New York Times Book Review "Wrestling with the Devil is a powerful testament to the courage of Ngũgĩ and his fellow prisoners and validation of the hope that an independent Kenya would eventually emerge." —Minneapolis Star Tribune "The Ngũgĩ of Wrestling with the Devil called not just for adding a bit of color to the canon’s sagging shelf, but for abolition and upheaval." —Bookforum An unforgettable chronicle of the year the brilliant novelist and memoirist, long favored for the Nobel Prize, was thrown in a Kenyan jail without charge Wrestling with the Devil, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's powerful prison memoir, begins literally half an hour before his release on December 12, 1978. In one extended flashback he recalls the night, a year earlier, when armed police pulled him from his home and jailed him in Kenya's Kamĩtĩ Maximum Security Prison, one of the largest in Africa. There, he lives in a prison block with eighteen other political prisoners, quarantined from the general prison population. In a conscious effort to fight back the humiliation and the intended degradation of the spirit, Ngũgĩ—the world-renowned author of Weep Not, Child; Petals of Blood; and Wizard of the Crow—decides to write a novel on toilet paper, the only paper to which he has access, a book that will become his classic, Devil on the Cross. Written in the early 1980s and never before published in America, Wrestling with the Devil is Ngũgĩ's account of the drama and the challenges of writing the novel under twenty-four-hour surveillance. He captures not only the excruciating pain that comes from being cut off from his wife and children, but also the spirit of defiance that defines hope. Ultimately, Wrestling with the Devil is a testimony to the power of imagination to help humans break free of confinement, which is truly the story of all art.

As if my demonic political problems weren't bad enough, a traitor betrays me to the SIA. Running is my only option and guess where I end up... Maybe Lucifer was right, and the prophecy is true. Maybe I do belong in the Underworld. But will I survive as the dark lord of the sixth realm, and more importantly, where would that leave Talon?

Book Synopsis Darkblood Prison by : G K DeRosa
Download or read book Darkblood Prison written by G K DeRosa. This book was released on 2020-08-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Darkblood Prison, where the worst criminals in the supernatural realm roam the murky corridors, A.K.A. my new home. According to my cellmate, there are three rules to survive the notorious prison: Don't mix with the other supes, stick to your own kind. Anything can be made into a weapon so get creative. Stay away from the infamous Triad, the three brothers who run the prison. Rules aren't really my thing so I doubt I'll survive my first week, let alone my ten-year sentence for soul sucking an entire Fae village I have no memory of. As if coming to terms with my own demon and making nice with the scary inmates wasn't bad enough, someone seems hellbent on permanently ending my stay at Darkblood. Thankfully, the devastatingly gorgeous and equally infuriating leader of the Triad, who hates me for no apparent reason, still manages to show up whenever I get into trouble. With his help, I begin to piece together my missing memories and discover there's much more to my bogus incarceration. There's a reason I was sent here, a dark family secret is coming back to haunt me. As it turns out, the baddies in this prison are nothing compared to the forces of the Underworld that are coming for me. ***This is an upper YA/NA crossover with schmexy supernatural inmates and is best suited for age 16+. Be warned, the steaminess factor does increase through the course of the series! ♥ ***Darkblood Prison is set within the world of Azar, along with Hitched, Darkblood Academy, and Royally Hitched but it's not necessary to read the other series' first to enjoy this one.
