The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy
'Sworn enemies, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem' Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular WitchesIn this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy.Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark -Until they don't. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tīendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle.As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.Tropes include:Forced collaborationForbidden loveDenied attractionMajoring in YearnalismSemi-public s*x and other words not in the BibleRated E for E*ting Her OutPraise for Dearly Beloathed duology:'Utterly unique, hilarious, swoony beyond my wildest dreams!

Brigitte-Kronauer-Handbuch
Die bedeutende Gegenwartsautorin und B�chner-Preistr�gerin Brigitte Kronauer (1940-2019) ist immer noch ein Stiefkind der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung und auch der literaturinteressierten �ffentlichkeit nur wenig bekannt. Das m�chte das vorliegende Handbuch �ndern. Es stellt erstmalig Kronauers umfangreiches Gesamtwerk aus Romanen, Erz�hlsammlungen und werkreflexiven Essays - �ber ihr eigenes Schreiben sowie �ber die f�r sie wichtigen Autoren und K�nstler - vor. Dazu werden die wenigen relevanten und zum Teil an entlegenen Orten publizierten Forschungsarbeiten �ber ihr eigenwilliges Oeuvre zusammengef�hrt und auf dem neuesten Stand fortgeschrieben. Wesentliche Stichworte erl�utern Kronauers Poetologie und ihr Realismus-Verst�ndnis sowie die Verankerung in wissens-, kultur-, gesellschafts- und mediengeschichtlichen Kontexten ihrer Zeit. Da die einzelnen Beitr�ge beinahe durchweg genuine Grundlagenforschung zu Kronauer und ihrem Werk bieten, liefert das Handbuch die Basis f�r weitere Forschungen und er�ffnet neue Forschungsperspektiven.

Maman Brigitte takes a close look at the unique persona of Brigitte, who is a blend of the goddesses Brigid of Ireland and Oya of Western Africa.

Relative Races
In Relative Races, Brigitte Fielder presents an alternative theory of how race is ascribed. Contrary to notions of genealogies by which race is transmitted from parents to children, the examples Fielder discusses from nineteenth-century literature, history, and popular culture show how race can follow other directions: Desdemona becomes less than fully white when she is smudged with Othello's blackface, a white woman becomes Native American when she is adopted by a Seneca family, and a mixed-race baby casts doubt on the whiteness of his mother. Fielder shows that the genealogies of race are especially visible in the racialization of white women, whose whiteness often depends on their ability to reproduce white family and white supremacy. Using black feminist and queer theories, Fielder presents readings of personal narratives, novels, plays, stories, poems, and images to illustrate how interracial kinship follows non-heteronormative, non-biological, and non-patrilineal models of inheritance in nineteenth-century literary culture.

Because They Hate
A New York Times bestseller, "Because They Hate" is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975, she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. "Because They Hate" warns that the U.S. is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was - radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand by silently while it happens in America. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years.Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, "Because They Hate" tells Gabriel's personal story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.

Brigitte Kowanz
This volume presents art with light in all its facets – using mirrors, black light, neon tubes, and bottles, Brigitte Kowanz creates objects and spatial artworks in which she showcases light. "What is light?" is the central question of her oeuvre. "Light is what you see," is the artist's answer.Light helps us see; it makes everything visible, yet remains invisible itself. Brigitte Kowanz explores this paradox in her art of light. This volume offers a retrospective of the work of the artist, who died in 2022. In addition to her central works, it presents iconic works in which she addressed current topics such as digitalization and new communication media in an information society as early as the 1980s.

Live Fast
Winner of the Prix Goncourt A powerful autobiographical novel of loss, the incandescent love that remains, and the small decisions that define the course of fatePaced and structured with the inevitable suspense of a countdown, Brigitte Giraud’s tense and haunting novel follows one woman’s quest to comprehend the motorcycle accident that took the life of her partner Claude at age 41.The narrator of Live Fast recounts the chain of events that led up to the fateful accident, tracing the tiny, maddening twists of fate that might have prevented its tragic outcome. Each chapter asks the rhetorical question, “what if,” departing from an image or memory from early years in Algeria during the war, to moving to the suburbs of Lyon, buying and renovating a home where they could “put down their suitcase for a whole life.” A sensitive elegy to her husband and a subtle, precise vision of a lasting love, Live Fast is a moving and electrifying portrait of two people caught up in the mundane activities of life, forgetting that living itself can be dangerous.

They Must Be Stopped
"They Must Be Stopped" is "New York Times" bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam-we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress.Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality; Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all 'infidels' (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death; There are madrassas in America, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army.Radical Islam exploits our legal system, our fairness, and our tolerance, by using our protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values; and, we must effectively organize a unified voice that says 'enough' to political correctness, and demands that government officials and our elected representatives do what is necessary to protect us.
