From award-winning author Diana Bold, MASKED INTENTIONS is the first book in UNMASKING PROMETHEUS, a new series set in the glittering world of Victorian England, where secrets abound and passions ignite. Adrian Strathmore, a reclusive genius haunted by his past, leads a double life. By day, he is an enigmatic genius, revered for his intellect and eccentricity. But it is under the cover of darkness that he becomes Prometheus, the masked avenger who rescues innocent children from the clutches of a merciless underworld. Scarred both inside and out, he finds solace in his hidden identity and the noble purpose it serves. Vanessa Bourke, a beautiful actress, finds herself drawn to both Adrian Strathmore, the elusive figure who showers her with tokens of admiration, and Prometheus, the enigmatic hero, not realizing they are one and the same. Consumed by her desire to know the man behind the mask, Vanessa pleads for him to reveal himself, to trust in her love despite his scars. But Adrian, deeply wounded and guarded, fears the vulnerability that accompanies unmasking his true self. Determined not to risk his heart, he pushes her away, willing to lose her forever rather than face the possibility of rejection. Desperate to break through Adrian's defenses and prove the depths of her affection, Vanessa resorts to an audacious act of blackmail. With their lives forever changed, they enter into a marriage built on deceit and shattered trust. As their relationship evolves and Vanessa's love for Adrian deepens, she struggles to mend the bonds she has broken and convince him that her feelings are genuine. Amidst the grandeur and splendor of Victorian society, Adrian and Vanessa embark on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the healing power of true love. Will Adrian find the courage to unmask not only his scars but also his heart, allowing Vanessa to see the man he truly is? Or will the shadows of their pasts forever keep them apart? MASKED INTENTIONS is a captivating Victorian historical romance that explores the transformative power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty that lies beneath the masks we wear.

This book is about the use of exoticism, particularly the use of masks and stylized movement, in opera and other musical theater genres of the twentieth century. The author explores in depth a topic that effects a wide variety of important composers, dancers, and dramatists, but has never been comprehensively studied.

In Multiple Masks, Maureen A. Carr studies Igor Stravinsky's creative process for Oedipus Rex, Apollo, Persäphone, and Orpheus through his musical sketches and other documents?scenarios, librettos, correspondence, reviews, and philosophical commentaries, as well as previously uncited sources for Stravinsky's book Poetics of Music. A clear explanation of Stravinsky's compositional techniques within a broad cultural context emerges for each of these four significant works. Carr concludes that Stravinsky used Greek myths as filters for certain poetic ideas and musical techniques that he developed in his earlier works. At the same time the mythological story lines provided him with the objective stance that he was seeking in these neoclassical works.

Young Lord Somershill flees England for the wonders of Venice, where he becomes involved in a bizarre murder investigation that plunges him into the depths of this secretive medieval city. It’s 1358, and young Oswald de Lacy, Lord Somershill, is delayed in Venice as he awaits a pilgrim ship to the Holy Land. While the city is besieged by the King of Hungary, Oswald stays at the house of an English merchant, and soon comes under the spell of this decadent and dazzling island state that sits on the edge of Europe—where East meets West. But Oswald has secrets. He is running away from something in England—a shadow that still haunts him, no matter how much he consoles himself with the delights of Venice. When he finds a dead man at the carnival, he is dragged into a murder investigation that draws him deep into the intrigues of this paranoid, mysterious city. From the dungeons of the Doge’s Palace to the convent-brothel of Santa Lucia, Oswald must search for a murderer in this bewildering maze of alleys and canals. When he comes up against the feared Signori di Notte, the secret police, Oswald learns that he is not the only one with something to hide. Everyone is watching (or trailing) someone else; and nobody in Venice is who they appear to be. Masks, it seems, are not only for the carnival.

For the last five months, Tom Anderson has been without a job, a fact he's been hiding from his wife Jean--and everyone else. He leaves each morning, pretending nothing has changed, and spends his disheartening day rotating through two coffee shops and the library, using their wi-fi to search for a job on the internet. The stress of keeping this secret is beginning to put serious strain on his marriage and it looks like the legacy that began with his father is still at work, slowly destroying the bond between Tom and Jean. Can their mutual trust--and love--be restored? Combining the literary talents of Dan Walsh and the relationship expertise of Gary Smalley, The Restoration Series pulls back the curtain of a family that has laid their foundation on shifting sand, but is slowly rediscovering genuine love and the power of forgiveness.

First published in 1952, Frantz Fanon's 'Black Skin, White Masks' is one of the most important anti-colonial works of the post-war period. It is both a profound critique of the conscious and unconcious ways in which colonialism brutalises the colonised and a passionate cry from deep within a black body alienated by the colonial system and in search of liberation from it. This volume is the first collection of essays specifically devoted to Fanon's text. It offers a wide range of interpretations of the text by leading scholars in a number of disciplines. Chapters deal with Fanon's Martinican heritage, Fanon and Creolism, ideas of race and racism and new humanism, Fanon and Sartre, representations of Blacks and Jews, and the psychoanalysis of race, gender and violence. Contributors offer new ways of reading the text and the volume as a whole constitutes an important contribution to the growing field of Fanon studies.
