Synopsis I'd Die For You by : F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Known not only for his brilliant novels but also for short stories chronicling the Jazz Age, such as 'Bernice bobs her hair' and 'The diamond as big as the Ritz, ' F. Scott Fitzgerald continued to write stories his entire life, some of which were never published--until now. Many of the stories in I'd die for you were submitted to major magazines and accepted for publication during Fitzgerald's lifetime but were never printed. A few were written as movie scenarios and sent to studios or producers, but not filmed. Others are stories that could not be sold because their subject matter or style departed from what editors expected of Fitzgerald in the 1930s. They come from various sources, from library archive to private collections, including those of Fitzgerald's family"--Jacket flap.

Synopsis Tales from Facebook by : Daniel Miller
Facebook is now used by nearly 500 million people throughout the world, many of whom spend several hours a day on this site. Once the preserve of youth, the largest increase in usage today is amongst the older sections of the population. Yet until now there has been no major study of the impact of these social networking sites upon the lives of their users. This book demonstrates that it can be profound. The tales in this book reveal how Facebook can become the means by which people find and cultivate relationships, but can also be instrumental in breaking up marriage. They reveal how Facebook can bring back the lives of people isolated in their homes by illness or age, by shyness or failure, but equally Facebook can devastate privacy and create scandal. We discover why some people believe that the truth of another person lies more in what you see online than face-to-face. We also see how Facebook has become a vehicle for business, the church, sex and memorialisation. After a century in which we have assumed social networking and community to be in decline, Facebook has suddenly hugely expanded our social relationships, challenging the central assumptions of social science. It demonstrates one of the main tenets of anthropology - that individuals have always been social networking sites. This book examines in detail how Facebook transforms the lives of particular individuals, but it also presents a general theory of Facebook as culture and considers the likely consequences of social networking in the future.

Synopsis Monsters from the Id by : E. Michael Jones
Jones uncovers the origins of horror in the suffering inflicted by political and sexual revolution. The avenging monster, a mainstay of horror, emerged from the sexual dissolution of the French Revolution (Frankenstein) and thrived in the syphilitic underworld of Victorian England (Dracula). From Nosferatu and Psycho to Alien and Interview with the Vampire, the twentieth century has spawned new monsters of unprecedented horror. -- What is the connection between sex and horror? -- Why are vampires and nameless or faceless monsters so common in horror? -- Why do we need horror -- yet fail to understand it?

Synopsis Fiction in the Archives by : Natalie Zemon Davis
To receive a royal pardon in sixteenth-century France for certain kinds of homicide--unpremeditated, unintended, in self-defense, or otherwise excusable--a supplicant had to tell the king a story. These stories took the form of letters of remission, documents narrated to royal notaries by admitted offenders who, in effect, stated their case for pardon to the king. Thousands of such stories are found in French archives, providing precious evidence of the narrative skills and interpretive schemes of peasants and artisans as well as the well-born. This book, by one of the most acclaimed historians of our time, is a pioneering effort to us the tools of literary analysis to interpret archival texts: to show how people from different stations in life shaped the events of a crime into a story, and to compare their stories with those told by Renaissance authors not intended to judge the truth or falsity of the pardon narratives, but rather to refer to the techniques for crafting stories. A number of fascinating crime stories, often possessing Rabelaisian humor, are told in the course of the book, which consists of three long chapters. These chapters explore the French law of homicide, depictions of "hot anger" and self-defense, and the distinctive characteristics of women's stories of bloodshed. The book is illustrated with seven contemporary woodcuts and a facsimile of a letter of remission, with appendixes providing several other original documents. This volume is based on the Harry Camp Memorial Lectures given at Stanford University in 1986.

Synopsis Tales of Lacrimosa by : S a Quinox
Lacrimosa is Latin for 'weeping', or 'sorrow'. This is what this book is all about. Nothing is sugar-coated, and you might find this book to be both brutal and raw. This is what healing looks like.Despite the many angry words and deep eloquence of what may feel like hatred, I have long forgiven the people that have wronged me, and I have never held any grudges against them. The only grudges I have sadly always harboured unquestionably, are the ones I held against my own flesh and bones. This book is my way of opening the doors to forgiving myself for having harboured such feelings. There is no such thing as light without darkness. The question is not if, but when our personal darkness will eventually surface. And when it does, how will you cope? Will you glue yourself to a piece of wood drifting aimlessly in an ocean which is unafraid of swallowing you? Some things just need the right amount of patience. Just like you would wait for your coffee to fill your mug before you lift it, you should practise patience as you walk the shores of healing. Allow the ache to unravel. Allow it to take a seat next to you while you wait for your coffee to run. Treat healing like a daily habit and you will never have to succumb to the heavy mountains of untreated wounds weighing down on your shoulders. Please do not wait to live your life until the icy shivers of death come knocking at your door. Live unapologetically. Rid yourself of the shame that comes with shaping your own future. Do not allow yourself to sink so far into the abyss that one day you'll look back with regret spilling from your fingers, no longer able to do what you are capable of doing today. You are deeply loved and you are as beautiful as sunrise, and that electrifying moment when the moon appears full on a clear summer night.You are worthy of rising, just like the sun. Rise, even when it rains. Rise, even when nothing and nobody else rises with you. Rise.Take a deep breath before turning these pages. Inhale and let go when you are ready.I think it is a huge milestone for any poet to find ways into writing about what truly lingers inside their bones. While I admit that I have tried to write about honey and butterflies many of the times when I thought about writing, it did not always resonate as deeply as the poetry I have finally been able to write down onto these pages today.Tales of Lacrimosa is the door to letting go of all that's been weighing at my soul ever since I stepped foot onto this physical plane of existence, and your hands are now the key. This is my book of healing, but it is also much more than that. It is a book of yearning, a book of madness, and the embrace of the dark night of the soul.Dip your toes inside. Know that it is safe. Realise that you are not alone, and know that everything you feel is valid. There is deep reasoning behind every word we speak and every action we take.
