The Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes
The Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes is a documentary novel based on a true story and actual events and was drawn from a variety of historic sources, including published government materials and family chronicles. A trilogy, the story profiles Private Parson Sykes’ evolution from enslavement in Southampton County, Virginia, followed by his enlistment into the Union Army, and culminating with his emancipation and return to the county. The initial part subtitled, Enslavement in Southampton County Virginia, of the trilogy, takes place in 1864 near the end of the American Civil War on the slave-holding Jacob Williams’ middle class family farm in Southampton County Virginia. During the 1831 So...
Darkness Is Not Eternal
Sidney L. Jackson’s novel, “Darkness Is Not Eternal” tells the story about life during the American Civil War period in which slavery was still in vogue. The story traces two families: Byron, the slave owner, and Jobba, the slave. Although family life for some was very challenging, when two families representing master and slave are confronted here by the same supernatural evil forces, how they handle the situation reveals the diversity of faith believers. Sidney skillfully uses eye-dialect in the story to create and bring to life believable, authentic characters. As the reader is perusing the words in the characters’ dialogues aloud in his or her mind, there is a natural connection and understanding of the life that took place in the Southern United States during the Civil War period. “Darkness Is Not Eternal” is a wholesome story that will both entertain and enlighten the reader by providing within the novel relevant Biblical scriptures to deal with real life predicaments.

The Architecture of the City
Aldo Rossi was a practicing architect and leader of the Italian architectural movement La Tendenza and one of the most influential theorists of the twentieth century. The Architecture of the City is his major work of architectural and urban theory. In part a protest against functionalism and the Modern Movement, in part an attempt to restore the craft of architecture to its position as the only valid object of architectural study, and in part an analysis of the rules and forms of the city's construction, the book has become immensely popular among architects and design students.

Yvain
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
