De la autora superventas Scarlett St. Clair llega una oscura y fascinante reinterpretación del mito griego de Hades y Perséfone.

"Déjame adorarte", dijo él.

Ella recordó las palabras que le había susurrado en la parte trasera de la limusina después de La Rose. "Me adorarás, y ni siquiera tendré que ordenártelo". Su petición le pareció pecaminosa y astuta, y ella se deleitó en ello.

Ella respondió, "Sí".

Perséfone es la Diosa de la Primavera solo de título. Desde que era una niña, las flores solo se marchitaban al tocarla. Después de mudarse a Nueva Atenas, esperaba llevar una vida discreta disfrazada de periodista mortal. Todo eso cambia cuando se sienta en un club nocturno prohibido para jugar una mano de cartas con un extraño hipnótico y misterioso.

Hades, el Dios de los Muertos, ha construido un imperio de apuestas en el mundo mortal y se rumorea que sus apuestas favoritas son imposibles. Pero nada lo ha intrigado tanto como la diosa que le ofrece un trato irresistible.

Después de su encuentro con Hades, Perséfone se encuentra en un contrato con el Dios de los Muertos, y sus términos son imposibles: Perséfone debe crear vida en el Inframundo o perderá su libertad para siempre. La apuesta no solo expone el fracaso de Perséfone como diosa, sin embargo. Mientras lucha por sembrar las semillas de su libertad, el amor por el Dios de los Muertos crece, un amor que es tanto cautivador como prohibido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.

"Let me worship you," he said.

She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.

She answered, "Yes."

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.

After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows―a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

Excellent critical history
Format: Kindle
A very thorough and important work, astute view and scope of a history of a philosophy and its most sweeping consequences in the modern era. However, this also tends to be postcolonialism in a nutshell and is, from that view, an argument that goes back to at least the 1950s in academia and further if you're looking for straight up anticolonial voices of the past. Also I don't like the way the author cites sources, often giving the reader no clue as to the specific primary source being referenced, instead referencing an entire volume or a generic secondary source. Lastly, the book falls a little short as an interrogation of the marketplace itself.

Liberals run and cower, Losurdo is here to destroy you
Format: Paperback
First the physical product review: The book came in a brand new condition with no wonky missprints or anything. Good quality paperback. Now the contents: This book is a complete vivisection of the liberal ideology. Losurdo takes you to the earliest foundations of the liberal ideology and lays bare in great detail its positions and internal contradictions. He studiously walks you through the evolution of the ideology within the context of the times to give the reader a full understanding of how the "great" liberal theorists of the time attempted to navigate the sociopolitical environment, and how their interpretations in turn affected (and continues to affect) the real politick. From the French Revolition to Nazi Germany Losurdo exposes the Liberal ideology for the exclusionary and exploitative sham that it is with Liberal theorists own words and liberal governments' historical actions. If you ever heard the expression "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" this book will fully explain why. Truly a must read that I cannot recommend enough!

The subtle counterrevolution mixed into the liberal revolutions
Format: Paperback
From the time of Marx/Engels the critique of liberalism has always been set against the heroic tale of its association with the triumph of democracy. As the author here makes clear in close detail the history of the liberal framework is not so transparent, and this can be seen in the way the world of Locke emerges from the radicalism of the English Civil War with a liberalism that will condone slavery. This legacy is inherited by the American Revolution and leaves the whole onset of its democracy ambiguous. This is the classic 'bourgeois' revolution and is what lead to the critiques of the socialists who looked back at the inner failure of the democratic revolutions behind their surface success.

A Must read for all Americans and those who appeal to the American model
Format: Hardcover
Certainly everybody who uses the words, 'freedom' 'liberal' 'democracy', as so many do so loosely, and so many who appeal to the "New'World" model do, should read this; and then take stock of the double standards and hypocrisy that existed in the past, and which still thrive today, based on discredited myths from the past two or three centuries.

A Challenge For All Liberals
Format: Paperback
I thought the book was well-written, impeccably sourced, wide-ranging, and with a thesis that can't help but make you think. Well worth your time.
