My Darling Belle
Isabelle "Belle" Winslow long ago abandoned any thought of marriage. Although her brother's generosity allows her to live at his home in England, Belle must contend with his shrewish wife's constant harassment. During one of her brother's social gatherings, Belle meets the mysterious Count Alexi of Tantolovitch. His intimate conversation sparks a long-hidden desire in Belle, and the Count begins courting her. When he invites her to his estate in Bucharest, Belle eagerly accepts. Alexi seduces Belle with his charm and whispered words of love. But dark secrets and whispered warnings throw Belle into confusion. Why does Alexi forbid her from speaking to anyone outside his estate? What is the terrifying scream echoing across the countryside at night? Before long, Belle begins to doubt her sanity as danger haunts her every step. In an exotic land plagued with peril, will this new life be all that she desires, or will the man of her dreams become the man of her nightmares?
Natural Disasters and Cultural Change
Human cultures have been interacting with natural hazards since the dawn of time. This book explores these interactions in detail and revisits some famous catastrophes including the eruptions of Thera and Vesuvius. These studies demonstrate that diverse human cultures had well-developed strategies which facilitated their response to extreme natural events.
Dealing With The Dead
Death was a constant, visible presence in medieval and renaissance Europe. Yet, the acknowledgement of death did not necessarily amount to an acceptance of its finality. Whether they were commoners, clergy, aristocrats, or kings, the dead continued to function literally as integrated members of their communities long after they were laid to rest in their graves. From stories of revenants bringing pleas from Purgatory to the living, to the practical uses and regulation of burial space; from the tradition of the ars moriendi, to the depiction of death on the stage; and from the making of martyrs, to funerals for the rich and poor, this volume examines how communities dealt with their dead as continual, albeit non-living members. Contributors are Jill Clements, Libby Escobedo, Hilary Fox, Sonsoles Garcia, Stephen Gordon, Melissa Herman, Mary Leech, Nikki Malain, Kathryn Maud, Justin Noetzel, Anthony Perron, Martina Saltamacchia, Thea Tomaini, Wendy Turner, and Christina Welch
