Описание:
Seducing the Reader uncovers the early history of the epigraph, narrating the surprising story of how this long-overlooked feature morphed from moral didactic heading to Gothic tag-line to witty realist commentary within a single century. Adorning fictional narratives of rakes and sex workers, oppressed heroines and Jacobite heroes, the epigraph has been used by authors to preach, teach, amuse, or even completely misdirect their readers. Supported by a survey of pre-chapter paratext in nearly 6000 novels from 1750 to 1850, this monograph explores the changing influences upon and functions of epigraphs over time via detailed close readings and literary criticism. Focusing upon key generic developments, this book adopts a case-study style format to examine epigraphic usage in the works of canonical authors including Sarah Fielding, Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith, Walter Scott, and Elizabeth Gaskell alongside those of less well-known novelists such as William Chaigneau, Elizabeth Helme, and Catherine Gore.

Описание:
In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon's obsession is a cautionary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitation to take Eliot's use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an attempt to do just that.
Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot's novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotations that have hitherto gone unidentified by scholars, examining their relationship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel - both this novel, and the novel form itself.
Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditation on the textuality of fiction. It is essential reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch.

Описание:
Mark White appears to have it all as the head of a prestigious PR firm in Washington, DC. But in the aftermath of his wife's sudden death, he is struggling to raise his eight-year-old son, Colin. When he takes on a controversial new technology startup mid-scandal and weeks before their IPO, Mark's world rapidly begins to unravel.

Set at intervals in present-day New York, San Francisco, Barbados, Italy, and Barcelona, Around the Sun is told in lush, graceful prose, a portrait of grief and hope in the age of social media, globalization, and artistic decadence.

Описание:
American Blasphemer is the story of a lovesick writer named John who moves to NYC to escape his dysfunctional family after getting dumped by his girlfriend. An epic literary novel written in the tradition of Denis Johnson, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, each chapter delivers new characters and unforgettable experiences - a knife fight with a sex addict, psychedelic family Christmas, a Cathedral burning in Manhattan, a midnight visit to Elvis's grave, and more. This harrowing journey through American carnage culminates in a showdown with a tattooed witch and warlock who try to get John to join their coven after meeting him at a concert in Times Square.
In its account of the war for one man's soul, American Blasphemer offers a poetic, brutal, yet authentic portrait of a deeply troubled nation entering its second bout with the Roaring Twenties.

Dark Psychology is an introductory book to the study of the Dark side of Psychology which presents, in a broad and updated way, theoretical approaches, areas of knowledge, and main characteristics of the profession and analysis of everyday subjects.
This book will help in the discussion of the subjects and in the learning of Psychology and what is Happiness.
The book covers topics such as:
The principles of psychology
Persuasion
Empathy
Manipulation
Brainwashing
Hypnosis
And so much more
Research in social psychology shows an incredible density and diversity of experiences carried out in the street, in stores, and also in ordinary organizational contexts. They show that our behaviors are not always under our control, and sometimes, we act without knowledge. Research also shows that we are manipulated daily by influencing factors and they lead us to do something that we would never have done spontaneously. Moreover, these manipulation techniques are often so innocuous and used so naturally that we do not imagine that anyone can use them to influence others.
This book will allow you to see that you have already used some of these manipulation techniques to influence others.
This book aims to take stock of these psychosocial techniques that influence our behavior. Throughout this book, we will try to present the experiences that highlight the ease with which we can be manipulated. Much of this research has been conducted across the world.
I hope, for my part, that this book will allow you to understand how the influence and the manipulation in your daily life affect you. You will see that these influence techniques are strongly linked to the progress of democratic societies.

Описание:
Dragon Knight Rafe has lived in lonely exile in New York City for years. Banished from his ancient clan, all he wants is to redeem himself and return to the Hidden Lands. In order to clear his name, he must find the rare cold-drake dragon shifter who holds the key to activate the fabled Blood Stone. When the exotic and lovely Princess Mia falls into his arms in need of protection from a dangerous group of dragon hunters, Rafe finds his goal within reach. If only Mia's kiss wasn't too powerful for him to resist.
Princess Mia is one of the last of the cold-drake dragon shifters. Under the guise of an ambassadorial visit to the United States, the fiercely independent royal is on a secret, risky mission to retrieve her stolen family jewels, including the fabled Blood Stone. When her security detail is ambushed, she's nearly kidnapped, but lands in the arms of the oh-so-sexy Rafe.
Rafe needs Mia to redeem himself and return to his kingdom. Mia needs Rafe to help her secure the Blood Stone and return it to her family. As they become a bonded pair, needing each other more than life itself, will he trade everything he's worked hard for to save her, or will he risk losing her--and his freedom--forever?
