Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The woke and the based battle it out in a hilarious revamp of Homer's Iliad. Helen, America's Ambassador of Woke, has been abducted on the orders of the Moldovan President Bagrayev, the most politically incorrect head of state in the world. The outraged Americans, led by the conscientious General Womack, invade his small but nuclear-armed country. To gaslight Bagrayev and avoid triggering the Armageddon, they assemble a coalition of allies and sneak into Moldova overnight with a thousand submarines. Once at war, Womack must avoid escalation of violence at all costs. He must manage his opponent's volatile personality as well as the bickering identity groups within his own ranks. Both sides must find a way to deal with ruthless social media psyops and with perfidious captives and defectors. Read now to find out how this most modern of conflicts will end, stuck as it is between the hyper-violence of nuclear holocaust and the hyper-sensitivity of wokeness. EDITORIAL REVIEWS: 'A whip-smart revamp of Homer's epic, The Woke Iliad by George Boreas is a carnival mirror reflection of today's global chaos and a savage critique of political and social correctness, which doesn't hold back. While the prose is occasionally over the top, and the allegorical writing can be heavy-handed, the sardonic tone is consistent, biting, and undeniably amusing. This frightening vision of an over-woke future will have readers laughing out loud, but also weighing their own behavior through the author's farcical lens.' - Self-Publishing Review, ???? 'A satire on contemporary 'woke' progressive politics and its bêtes noires, The Woke Iliad is very funny. There are too many one-liners to mention here. The fight scenes are hilarious. And of course, yes, the whole thing is wrapped up by a 'woke' version of the Trojan horse, but I'm not telling you what that is. You'll have to read the book for yourselves.' - The Bookbag, ???? 'Boreas's readers will appreciate the rolling action, sociological savvy, and rollicking humor that pervades The Woke Iliad, an imaginative look at how we humans might evolve in a slightly skewed future time.' - Feathered Quill Book Reviews.…

Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 304 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This collection of twenty-three essays brings into one volume two years of studying, researching, and writing on René Girard's mimetic theory. The author applies the theory to popular questions to reveal the hidden but fundamental role of mimesis in our lives and to give the reader new and empowering perspectives. The aim is to reproduce the catharsis that Girard's own work provided to so many of his readers: expulsion of the ignorance of imitation in our desires, origins, and culture. Girard's rigorous theories are brought to bear upon current and popular topics in the spirit of affirming and building upon his legacy. Each essay was written to stand alone and be accessible even to readers with minimal familiarity with Girard's work. Yet, each ventures unique analyses and many offer original takes on new questions. The essays were originally posted online in a series, receiving an enthusiastic reception. Here, they are presented after being extensively edited, expanded, substantiated, and organized into a coherent whole consisting of five parts: philosophy, history, sociology, politics, and psychology.…
