Book excerpt: Josiah lives a pathetic life at a retail job in a dangerous town. One day, he is attacked and murdered on the street. After his death, Josiah realizes he now lives in the body of a baby from another world. He is now the first son of the emperor. His bewildered birth happens during a storming of the castle - and his mother, who has fallen victim of a plot, is forced to leave the castle with him. With the mind of an adult from another world, Josiah quickly masters the world’s art of ‘binding weapons’. He rises through the ranks in the kingdom, focusing on his goal of avenging his mother and claiming his birthright - the throne. *** “Ok, little one. Let’s do it like this. Show me what you got. Just you and me. If you can win against me, I’m going to let your friends go.” Josiah braced his sword. He couldn’t have asked for a better deal himself. “Come, then. I’ll show you hell.” The Throne of a Thousand Swords is created by Oliver K., an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Book Synopsis The Kushnameh by : Iranshah

Download or read book The Kushnameh written by Iranshah. This book was released on 2022-05-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of a strange and unusual Persian epic, this action-packed tale of an evil, monstrous king explores questions of nature and nurture and brings the global middle ages to life. The great Persian epic known as the Kushnameh follows the entangled lives of Kush the Tusked––a monstrous antihero with tusks and ears like an elephant, descended from the evil emperor Zahhak––and Abtin, the exiled grandson of the last true Persian emperor. Abandoned at birth in the forests of China and raised by Abtin, Kush grows into a powerful and devious warrior. Kush and his foes scheme and wage war across a global stage reaching from Spain and Africa to China and Korea. Between epic battles and magnificent feasts are disturbing, sometimes realistic portrayals of abuse and oppression and philosophical speculation about nature and nurture and the origins of civilization. A fantastical adventure story stretching across the known world and a literary classic of unparalleled richness, this important work of medieval Persian literature is a valuable source for understanding the history of racism and constructions of race and the flows of lore and legend from the Central Asian Silk Road and the Sahara to the sea routes of the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. The Kushnameh is a treasure trove of Islamic and pre-Islamic Persian cultural history and a striking contemporary document of the “global middle ages,” now available to English-speaking readers for the first time.

Book Synopsis Winter is Coming by : Carolyne Larrington

Download or read book Winter is Coming written by Carolyne Larrington. This book was released on 2017-09-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game of Thrones is a phenomenon. As Carolyne Larrington reveals in this essential companion to George R R Martin's fantasy novels and the HBO mega-hit series based on them the show is the epitome of water-cooler TV. It is the subject of intense debate in national newspapers; by PhD students asking why Westeros has yet to see an industrial revolution, or whether astronomy explains the continent's climatic problems and unpredictable solstices ('winter is coming'); and by bloggers and cultural commentators contesting the series' startling portrayals of power, sex and gender. Yet no book has divulged how George R R Martin constructed his remarkable universe out of the Middle Ages. Discussing novels and TV series alike, Larrington explores among other topics: sigils, giants, dragons and direwolves in medieval texts; ravens, old gods and the Weirwood in Norse myth; and a gothic, exotic orient in the eastern continent, Essos. From the White Walkers to the Red Woman, from Casterley Rock to the Shivering Sea, this is an indispensable guide to the twenty-first century's most important fantasy creation.
