A princess born of fire and flames. A half-blooded prince who longs to return his land to its former glory. Two of the royals are joining their realms through marriage the eve after the summer solstice, but the other realms aren't happy about it. As a result, the rulers of the summer and fall realms are frantic to unite their two realms in a similar alliance. There's only one problem- the king of the summer realm doesn't want the other realms to find out why he's kept his daughter hidden away in a tower for most of her life. As the rulers of the summer and fall realms negotiate an arranged marriage between their heirs, a powerful Phoenix gem goes missing, Princess Amber of the summer realm discovers powers that stem from the original Phoenix, and Prince Aiden of the fall realm must decide between a magic that can either save his land or the princess of the summer realm. Can Amber and Aiden find a way to use their gifts to help each other and bring rebirth to their realms before the summer realm is destroyed? Can they truly bring beauty from ashes?

Since Hegel, the idea of an end of art has become a staple of aesthetic theory. This book analyzes its role and its rhetoric in Hegel, Nietzsche, Benjamin, Adorno, and Heidegger in order to account for the topic's enduring persistence. In addition to providing a general overview of the main thinkers of post-Idealist German aesthetics, the book explores the relationship between tradition and modernity. For despite the differences that distinguish one philosopher's end of art from another's, all authors treated here turn the end of art into an occasion to thematize and to reflect on the very thing that modernism cannot or should not be: tradition. As a discourse, the end of art is one of our modern traditions.

Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? N. T. Wright argues that each of these questions takes us into the mystery of who God is and what he wants from us. For two thousand years Christianity has claimed to answer these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still does today. Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader is starting from ground zero with no predisposition to and perhaps even some negativity toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. His goal is to describe Christianity in as simple and accessible, yet hopefully attractive and exciting, a way as possible, both to say to outsides ÔYou might want to look at this further,Ö and to say to insiders ÔYou may not have quite understood this bit clearly yet.Ö

Transfigurements develops a framework for thinking about art through innovative readings of some of the most important philosophical writing on the subject by Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. Sallis exposes new layers in their texts and theories while also marking their limits. By doing so, his aim is to show that philosophy needs to attend to art directly. Consequently, Sallis also addresses a wide range of works of art, including paintings by Raphael, Monet, and Klee; Shakespeare’s comedies; and the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, and Tan Dun. Through these interpretations, he puts forth a compelling new elaboration of the philosophy of art.

A chandala, who is a member of the lowest echelon of the Indian caste system, also known as an untouchable, wonders why he was dealt this particular fate. Was it unfair or his own fault? Was it the parents' fault, or was it just the way of the world. In his trek to find out why he ended up in his current unwanted predicament, he experiences kindness from others, anger against himself, lust, greed, loneliness and perhaps, most importantly, forbidden love. He eventually realizes that in the final analyses love triumphs over death, or is it life?
