This third collection of short stories follows on from the previous 2016 and 2017 collections, with a fresh group of contemporary authors hauling Celtic stories out of the shadows, back into the light where they belong. Love, mystery and drama, these fascinating tales mark a new movement of authentic and original Celtic-based writing and a better understanding of the Celtic cultures. Accompanied by explanatory notes on the background cultural context, this latest collection includes stories on the Selkie, changelings, crow messengers to the dead and the infamous tale of Labhraigh Loingseach. Na Ceiltigh, abú!  Adeed Dawisha, "Iraq: A Political History" English | 2013 | pages: 408 | ISBN: 0691157936 | EPUB | 1,3 mb With each day that passed after the 2003 invasion, the United States seemed to sink deeper in the treacherous quicksand of Iraq's social discord, floundering in the face of deep ethno-sectarian divisions that have impeded the creation of a viable state and the molding of a unified Iraqi identity. Yet as Adeed Dawisha shows in this superb political history, the story of a fragile and socially fractured Iraq did not begin with the American-led invasion-it is as old as Iraq itself.  José de Alencar, Naomi Lindstrom, Alcides Villaca, "Iracema" English | 2000 | pages: 177 | ISBN: 0195115481, 0195115473 | PDF | 5,7 mb Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a classic of Brazilian literature-perhaps the most widely-known piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of Alencar;s many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and multicultural experience. Precisely because of its nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a Brazilian sense of nationhood-contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.
