stone of farewell tad williams

Following a brutal civil war, Osten Ard has been crushed under the rule of the two villainous High Kings. A single hope remains: if the rebels can find the three swords of legend - Memory, Sorrow and Thorn - they might be able to bring the Storm King and evil King Elias down. Once but a humble kitchen-boy, Simon is now Simon Snowlock, dragonslayer and bearer of the mythical sword Thorn.But Simon is more alone than ever before: his friends have been imprisoned and his liege lord, Prince Josua, has been exiled. And the Storm King may also be in possession of one of the swords... A single chance remains: if Simon can deliver Thorn to Joshua and lead his followers to the Stone of Farewell, the rebels may be able to muster the forces necessary to rise up against Elias and the Storm King.But no one knows where the Stone of Farewell is. Or, indeed, what it is... In STONE OF FAREWELL, Tad Williams sets his characters against impossible odds - and proves that the beloved, internationally-bestselling DRAGONBONE CHAIR was no fluke, but one of the greatest fantasy novels of all time.

Před třiceti lety byla armáda Inelukiho, Krále bouří, rozprášena a on sám zahuben. Ve Východním Ardu zavládl mír pod vládou Simona Bělokadeřného, pomocníka z kuchyně, z něhož se stal král, a Miriamele, jediného potomka krále Eliáše. Nyní však na jejich vládu doléhá stáří. Simon přišel o své sny, staří spojenci umírají a všude se to hemží zradou a úklady. Jejich syn a dědic Jan Jošua je už léta mrtvý a jejich vnuk Morgan žije jako rozmařilec. Všechny ale čeká cesta vykoupení a objevů, která vede stále chmurnějším světem. A na zamrzlém severu v horské pevnosti Nakkize se z hlubokého, dlouhého spánku probouzí nornská královna a Inelukiho spojenkyně, aby sdělila svým poddaným, že lidé musejí být zničeni. Že její čarodějové přivedou z říše smrti mocného démona a její válečníci budou ve světě hledat krev živého draka... A konečně jí bude patřit nejmocnější artefakt ze všech – koruna z čarodřeva. Koruna z čarodřeva je román plný lidí, obrů, draků, trollů, Sithů i Nornů. Je velkolepá a rozmáchlá a Tad Williams v ní opět dokazuje, kdo je největším žijícím autorem epické fantasy.

Nejvyšší trůn Erkynu se kymácí, královská rodina je rozdělena a oslabena. Královna Miriamele se připletla do krvavého povstání na jihu a je považována za mrtvou. Jejího vnuka, pohřešovaného prince Morgana, zajme v sutinách opuštěného města obklíčeného Norny jedna z Bílých lišek. A král Simon, zdrcený žalem a beznadějí, netuší, že za mnoha tragédiemi z poslední doby stojí zrádce, který se skrývá mezi jeho nejbližšími na hayholtském dvoře. Na jihu využívají této slabosti stepní kočovníci, po dlouhé době sjednocení pod silným vůdcem, ale ta pravá hrozba přichází ze severu. Do Erkynu vpadla armáda Nornů vedená nesmrtelnou královnou Utuk’ku, jejíž plány zdaleka nekončí dobytím pohraniční pevnosti Naglimund, vyvražděním jejích obránců a ukořistěním bájné zbroje ze starého hrobu Ruyana Mořeplavce. Zdá se, že ani Sithové, příbuzní Nornů, nedokáží zabránit triumfu pomstychtivé královny se stříbrnou maskou, jejíž vojska táhnou na Hayholt a současně se snaží proniknout do odlehlého, zakázaného údolí Mlh – Tanakirú – kde čeká tajemství, které může Simonovi a jeho sithijským spojencům přinést záchranu – nebo zkázu.

In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of our time, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives.Williams also decries how liberalism - the very foundation of an open and vibrant society - is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture.Sure to be highly controversial, Summer of Our Discontent is a compelling look at our place in a radically changing world.

In Farewell Tour, Stefan Mohamed takes us on a hellish road trip through the psyche of a mean and defeated nation. It is hard to think of a poet who goes further in creating a new poetic register from materials not usually found in poetry. The language of Farewell Tour comes from popular media and social media; it sneers, preens and insinuates. None of this is accidental. Mohamed is a skilful poet with a brilliant knack for refashioning the rhetoric of disposable media into lines which convey an extraordinary energy; but the true purpose of these poems is moral. We are shown the ugliness of our culture. In some places the ugliness is replicated within the poems, but what we also get is some of the sharpest satire and most inventive writing you will find in any book published this year. This is not a melancholic book of disappointed patriotism, lamenting what has happened to our country; it is an outpouring of disgust at the people we have become. Brilliant and horrible in equal measure.” - Tom Sastry, author of You Have No Normal Country To Return To and A Man’s House Catches Fire (Nine Arches Press)“It’s rare to feel ...

A Taste of Honey (1961) is a landmark in British cinema history. In this book, Melanie Williams explores the many, extraordinary ways in which it was trailblazing. It is the only film of the British New Wave canon to have been written by a woman – Shelagh Delaney, adapting her own groundbreaking stage play. At the behest of director Tony Richardson and his company, Woodfall, it was one of the first films to be made entirely on location, and was shot in an innovative, rough, poetic style by cinematographer Walter Lassally. It was also the launchpad for a new type of young female star in Rita Tushingham. Tushingham plays the young heroine, Jo, who finds she is pregnant after her love affair with Jimmy (Paul Danquah), a Black sailor. When Jimmy’s ship sails away, Jo is comforted and supported by her gay friend Geoff (Murray Melvin), while her unreliable mother, Helen (Dora Bryan), has her own life to lead. Candid in its treatment of matters of gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality and motherhood, and highly distinctive in its evocation of place and landscape, A Taste of Honey marked the advent of new possibilities for the telling of working-class stories in British ...

Playwright and novelist Nigel Williams''s stage adaptation of William Golding''s story was first professionally produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon in July 1995. ''Remarkably true to the novel in spirit . . . the theatre lends itself particularly well to the ritualistic aspects of the story - chanting, dancing, marching, forming a circle round the victim, stamping out a fire . . . You end up feeling you have seen a fable of infinite implications enacted in a little room.'' Sunday TelegraphThis special acting edition, particularly suitable for schools and amateur groups, contains the full playtext as well as notes on staging, a full properties list and lighting and sound cues.

The age of denial is over, we are told. Yet emissions continue to rise while gimmicks, graft, and green- washing distract the public from the climate violence suffered by the vulnerable. This timely, interdisciplinary contribution to the environmental humanities draws on the latest climatology, the first shoots of an energy transition, critical theory, Earth’s paleoclimate history, and trends in border violence to answer the most pressing question of our age: Why do we continue to squander the short time we have left?The symptoms suggest society’s inability to adjust is profound. Near Portland, militias incapable of accepting that the world is warming respond to a wildfire by hunting for imaginary left-wing arsonists. Europe erects nets in the Aegean Sea to capture migrants fleeing drought and war. An airline claims to be carbon neutral thanks to bogus cheap offsets. Drone strikes hit people living along the aridity line. Yes, Exxon knew as early as the 1970s, but the fundamental physics of carbon dioxide warming the Earth was already understood before the American Civil War.Will capitalists ever voluntarily walk away from hundreds of trillions of dollars in fossil fuels unless they are forced to do so?

‘Williams’s memoir is as flinty, earthy and plain-spoken as her songs’ New York Times ‘The often hilarious, occasionally harrowing Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You is a bracingly candid chronicle of a sui generis character plotting a ramshackle but ultimately triumphant trajectory’ Wall Street Journal ‘An engaging read and beautifully written’ MOJO The beloved and iconic singer-songwriter and three-time Grammy winner opens up about her traumatic childhood in the Deep South, her years of being overlooked in the music industry, and the stories that inspired her enduring songs. Lucinda Williams’s rise to fame was anything but easy. Raised in a working-class family in the Deep South, she moved from town to town each time her father—a poet, a textbook salesman, a professor, a lover of parties—got a new job, totalling twelve different places by the time she was 18. Her mother suffered from severe mental illness and was in and out of hospitals. And when Williams was about a year old she had to have an emergency tracheotomy—an inauspicious start for a singing career. But she was also born a fighter, and she would develop a voice that has captivated millions. Lucinda Williams takes readers through the events ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The New York Times BestsellerONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, NPR, The RootA moving, unflinching memoir of hard-won success, struggles with addiction, and a lifelong mission to give back.When Michael K. Williams died on 6 September 2021, he left behind a career as one of the most electrifying actors of his generation. From his star turn as Omar Little in The Wire to Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire to Emmy-nominated roles in HBO’s The Night Of and Lovecraft Country, Williams inhabited a slew of indelible roles that he portrayed with a rawness and vulnerability that leapt off the screen. Beyond the nominations and acclaim, Williams played characters who connected, whose humanity couldn’t be denied, whose stories were too often left out of the main narrative.At the time of his death, Williams had nearly finished a memoir that tells the story of his past while looking to the future, a book that merges his life and his life’s work. Mike, as his friends knew him, was so much more than an actor. In Scenes from My Life, he traces his life in whole, from his childhood in East Flatbush and his early years as a ...

This insightful and beautifully written work explores nonlinear processes of recovery of the loss of Self. The inherent healing power of hard-earned, wholehearted self-acceptance is conceived through the authority of tenderness. The book is the final volume in The Fifth Principle trilogy (the second book being Scum), which chronicled, through the course of one boy’s lifetime, the methods of a mind which is not a mind, in its efforts to prevail under oppressive circumstances. The Authority of Tenderness comes at the end of the journey, is written by the adult self of the child, and uses poetic vignettes, references to foundational psychoanalytic literature and analyses of critical treatment situations to convey the experiences of someone who has been both patient and analyst.The book offers a vivid psychotherapeutic perspective for clinicians, trainees, students and general readers alike.

The edition is brought up to date with his most recent work: Dock Leaves, a PBS Choice of 1994, and Billy''s Rain, winner of the 1999 T. S. Eliot Award.''This year''s best collection of works by a single poet.
