![]() ![]() Now, with another piece of the puzzle of Alice's identity revealed, a mysterious adversary plots to destroy it all-and Dylan is determined to protect her.

The erotic charge between them was fast and deliciously forbidden. That's why she was shocked when, out of the blue, she was recruited to join the elite Durand Enterprises by the enigmatic CEO himself, Dylan Fall.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Because You Are Mine, When I'm With You, and The Affair comes the sequel to Glimmer, the latest novel in the suspenseful and sensual new series about power, sex, and the secrets that can tear us apart, body and soul. ![]() ![]() Oroonoko is a text fundamentally concerned with political obedience, written at precisely the moment in British history when that question was more or less being resolved in favor, according to the Whig interpretation of history, of the subject's right to refuse obedience to political authority, indeed even, according to John Locke and others, in favor of the obligation that the subject rebel against a tyrannical authority.2 Behn, as is well known but not so comfortably assimilated, was a political conservative who was loyal to the king and probably Catholic, culturally and politically if not spiritually. The grandfather's impotence, the numb eel's ability to paralyze its victims, Oroonoko's inability to execute his plan for revenge: these are just a few examples of the way that passivity dominates the plot of Oroonoko. But this belies the text's reliance on passivity as a thematic and a plot device. This action-packed text's sole mention of "passive" occurs here. ![]() When the "royal slave" protagonist of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1689) encounters the Surinam war captains and hears that their right to military leadership is established via self-mutilation, he deems this "passive valour" to be "too brutal to be applauded."1 Nonetheless, Oroonoko expresses his "esteem" of the war captains, who prove their bravery in a "debate" that involves "contemptibly" cutting offears, noses, and lips, among other things (56). ![]() ![]() ![]() “ Gen burned its way into my heated brain with the intensity of a fever dream” Art Spiegelman notes in his introduction to Barefoot Gen Vol.

In 1890 the Reverend William Pittenger purchased 20 acres of Neff’s property. In 1885 Neff sold his homestead and between 18 the property changed hands three times. As a result of the surveys, this strip of land was opened up to homesteading, and title to 80 acres was granted to a young Millard Neff in 1883. In 1848, according to the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican American War, it was transferred to the United States government, pending completion of land surveys and verification of borders. ![]() It was originally part of the Rancho Santa Margarita Land Grant owned by Mexican Governor Pio Pico.

Orwell's dystopia is a place where humans have no control over their own lives, where nearly every positive feeling is squelched, and where people live in misery, fear, and repression. ![]() In his attempt to educate the reader about the consequences of certain political philosophies and the defects of human nature, Orwell manipulates and usurps the utopian tradition and creates a dystopia, a fictional setting in which life is extremely bad from deprivation, oppression, or terror. In 1984, Orwell creates a technologically advanced world in which fear is used as a tool for manipulating and controlling individuals who do not conform to the prevailing political orthodoxy. The word is now used to describe any place considered to be perfect. In fact, the word utopia is taken from Sir Thomas More's Utopia, written in 1516. ![]() Utopia, or Nowhere Land, is an ideal place or society in which human beings realize a perfect existence, a place without suffering or human malady. Among the literary traditions that Orwell uses is the concept of utopia, which he distorts effectively for his own purposes. George Orwell's 1984, like many works of literature, unmistakably carries with it literary traditions reaching back to the earliest of storytellers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We’re also a history-making, crowdfunded Public Benefit Corporation committed to changing the world by running our business the way we think our heroes would-with wisdom, self-mastery, courage, and love.
