The Cradle of the Republic


Book Description




The Passages of H. M.


Book Description

From the author of the international bestseller The Last Station, a stirring novel about the adventurous life and tragic literary career of Herman Melville. As The Passages of H. M. opens, we see, through the eyes of his long-suffering wife Lizzie, an aging, angry, and drunken Herman Melville wreaking domestic havoc in his unhappy New York home. He is decades past his flourishing career as a writer of bestselling tales of seagoing adventures like Typee and Omoo. His epic but ungainly novel Moby-Dick was meant to make him immortal, but critics scoffed and readers fled. His days are spent trudging the docks of New York as a customs inspector and contemplating his malign literary fate. But within him is stirring, perhaps, one great work yet—the tale of a handsome sailor in the Napoleonic Wars, undone by one moment of uncontrollable rage . . . Lizzie’s chapters alternate with third-person accounts of Melville’s crowded life: his shipping off to sea on a merchant vessel as an impoverished young aristocrat; his fateful voyage on a whaling ship; his desertion in the Marquesas Islands and sojourn with cannibals—a great adventure and polymor­phous sexual idyll—and his instant fame as a novelist; his fateful encounter and soul-deep friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne; and the long years of physical decline and liter­ary obscurity. Jay Parini creates a Melville who is at once sympathetic and maddening, in sync with the vast forces of the universe and hopelessly impractical and abstracted. And one who, in thought and deed, is unambiguously attracted to men—a surmise well supported by the known biographical facts but still sure to cre­ate controversy. Parini penetrates the mind and soul of a liter­ary titan, using the resources of fiction to humanize a giant while illuminating the sources of his matchless creativity.

The Cyber Revelation


Book Description

A technological-religious thriller, THE CYBER REVELATION, is a powerful prescient work of fiction and should be read by the rest of the world today as it may have just enough time to prepare for its fate tomorrow. The next world war begins over the Internet. By early summer 2011, Ali Omar, a former U.S. intelligence officer, resurfaces as the leader of a rogue cabal of computer experts operating inside Chechnya. Their creation, The Third Millennium, a computer virus designed to manipulate the Internet and shape a new world destiny, is usurped by a malevolent presence initiating the assault on the Holy Land foretold in biblical prophecies. Unsealing the ancient prophecies, the presence molds the behavior of all who view a computer screen into evil incarnate through the commission of acts of violence. John Granger, computer forensics expert and special assistant to the Department of Homeland Security, races against time to locate and eliminate the source of the new cyber-evil tracing its footprints by deciphering a series of messages deposited on compromised government computers. As he investigates the scenes of the victims, Granger is unaware he has made himself a target for assassination. EXCERPT: "Site R continuity of operations are complete Mr. President," reported the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the subterranean room in Raven Rock. The President?s image from the White house filled the screen on the near wall. "Video conferencing with Greenbrier and Mt. Weather have confirmed standby procedures of the relocation system. The emergency preparedness centers are fully operational. I expect to hear from infectious diseases in Detrick within the hour." "I want a full report in 8 hours," snapped the President. "What?s causing the violence? Is the source biological? Is it psychological? Has an unknown pathogen been released into the population? The best experts in the world are working around the clock and still we have no answers. All we know is people are dying en masse." "Anything definitive come back from Homeland Security on the Third Millennium virus?" asked the Chairman. "No. The Cyber Security Division is coordinating with Computer Emergency Response teams" the President replied. "Since the virus began to swamp the Internet, they?ve developed a strategy to secure it from the cyber rage. To lighten public concern, a series of alerts have been posted categorizing the virus as a low threat. The strategy appears to be working. While the technology community sifts and analyzes data on the Third Millennium, the media?s ignoring the spread of a low-threat cyber event. We?re reaching a critical point. I?ve read preliminary reports from CERTs theorizing a relationship between the Third Millennium and the violence. The dots haven?t been completely connected but, if true, the destruction of our culture may be delivered by the one solution we designed to promote global unity."




Myth and Madness


Book Description

During Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity in the winter of 2013-14, Dr. Natalka Slovyanka, a beautiful, young psychiatrist from Donbas, tries to cure her mysterious patient of his ''philosophical intoxication.'' Telesyk is a storyteller who hears voices in the wind. His mind drifts between the immuring reality of the psikhushka and an imaginary world inhabited by witches, nymphs, and dragons. He engages the other patients in a fairy tale of the quest for a horse that eats burning embers and drinks fire, a myth that parallels Ukraine's search for its identity. Both patient and therapist embark on their own quests--Telesyk, to free himself from the prison of his mind and Natalka, to escape the dark secrets of her past. As different as East and West, they realize that they must unite to slay the family of dragons that are threatening their existence. Myth and Madness blends magical realism with historical events on the Maidan to tell the story of a nation's quest for its identity.

Two Period Plays


Book Description

Each person owns their own name and no one else has a valid right to use it. DIANA DEVEREAUX (To Marilyn with Love) explores the journey of a rare woman whose only real freedom was in her singular essence that could never be taken away from her while all the outward manifestations of it, (with a few exceptions), her beauty, her wisdom, and her boundless love, were misunderstood, exploited for money, degraded for lust. Born within the physical boundary of a city yet bereft of any spiritual connection to it, a child to woman's magnificent isolated spirit soared far beyond even the imagination of those who surrounded her. Assisting her self-understanding is an imaginary character drawn from the the art that is her calling - the theatre. THE SENATOR'S DAUGHTER IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE. This play addresses, through an imaginary parallel universe, the disconnect between aspects of government manifested at that time, and it exposes a deep flaw in a process determined more by money and male dominance than by empathy with all of the people, thus unwittingly or wittingly mutilating democracy. A woman's body belongs to her alone, just as a man's body is his alone. The parallel universes of nature are understood by indigenous women as well as suppressed civilized women. A self-disappearing Referendum shows that all life is sacred. The life of each human being cannot be relegated to civilized acceptance, which is, in any way, less than that bestowed by nature.
