Stelcie Dundee and Zethro face dark times. Interlopers terrorize Stelcie and Zethro. A dream and a piece of red string prompt digging on the Dundee property to seek something Beulah buried. Egiap travels to Memphis where she eventually meets Beulah at a contraband camp and reunites with TaSondryana and Amarichi. In Georgia, the Dr. Andekian Onesiphoros Traveling Show encounters renegades on the road. Sawyer Dundee and Solomon Witcher, both in the Confederate escape expedition from Richmond, part as Sawyer continues with the Jefferson Davis column and Solomon takes command of a single treasury wagon. Sawyer, when the Davis column camps near Irwinville, Georgia, locates himself on the perimeter of the camp for the night. Sawyer is incapacitated during the time of President Davis' capture. Dr. A. O.'s Traveling Show, moving through Georgia, continues to see the destruction perpetrated by the Union armies but meets Southerners who demonstrate resilience and compassion for each other. At one campsite for the traveling show, Percival finds remnants of burned wagons and an almost-dead Sawyer. The traveling show puts on a performance in a small settlement and is interrupted by a Union calvary patrol. Sawyer takes over leadership of the traveling show. The traveling show meets former members of the Nancy Harts, an all-female militia. Sawyer eventually heads for Natchez. Solomon and his crew with their single wagon take an alternate way to the Gulf Coast to meet with other Confederates. Having a premonition, Solomon expresses his concern to his men and gives each man thirteen Mexican silver coins as payment for their service to the Confederacy. Severe storms cover the area. Solomon's crew and wagon are attacked during the stormy weather by renegades. At a ford for a small river Solomon and his crew meet more marauders during the storm and lose the wagon. Solomon is saved and given new hope by Red Cloud Woman and then heads for New Orleans. In Memphis, Egiap, staying with Mrs. Eddensly, feels the need to return to Avoyelles Parish in Louisiana with stops in Vicksburg and Natchez. Back in Natchez, Stelcie has to "swallow the yellow dog" when paying taxes. Abdoulaye visits the Dundee homestead, tells of meeting beautiful Tajri during his crossing of the Sahara as a captive of slavers, and goes into Natchez with his pushcart. Xenophanes, back in New Orleans with a theatrical company, revisits THE MUSTARD SEED and the Girod Street Cemetery, the location of his epiphany. Egiap in Marksville, Louisiana, seeks assistance from a former Confederate soldier to guide her to two locations. Solomon, in New Orleans, attempts to meet Xenophanes.

In antebellum Natchez, Mississippi, cousins Sawyer Dundee and Solomon Witcher come into manhood. Both cousins, back from college in the North, attend a party at Clifton, a grand mansion owned by an older couple, the Surgets, and befriend many of the elite Natchez social circle. Sawyer remains in Natchez to run the family sawmill and homestead. Solomon, admonished when he was young by Grandma Dundee that he was special and now realizing his personal luck, charm, and persuasiveness, strikes out on his own to seek legendary buried treasure of Natchez Trace outlaw preachers and Natchez Indians. He journeys to Louisiana to the Troyville Indian Mounds at Jonesville and the French settlements south of the Red River in Avoyelles Parish. He finds success near Marksville, where he hears of a redheaded female healer who had visited the area. Traveling to New Orleans to invest in the slave trade and pursue his luck at playing poker, Solomon encounters the redheaded Egypt and two of her followers--Ann, a Cajun woman who met her at a cemetery, and Zethro, a slave Egypt freed at the Theophilus Freeman Slave Market from a cruel master. Solomon, after learning of the red string legend, gris-gris bags, and a street preacher named Xenophanes, joins in a plot of vengeance stemming from the 1853 Yellow Fever epidemic in New Orleans with Egypt and her devotees that ends with voodoo and Celtic justice imposed upon a New Orleans businessman in the Girod Street Cemetery.

A profoundly original philosophical detective story tracing the surprising history of an anecdote ranging across centuries of traditions, disciplines, and ideas Red Sea-Red Square-Red Thread is a work of passages taken, written, painted, and sung. It offers a genealogy of liberty through a micrology of wit. It follows the long history of a short anecdote. Commissioned to depict the biblical passage through the Red Sea, a painter covered over a surface with red paint, explaining thereafter that the Israelites had already crossed over and that the Egyptians were drowned. Clearly, not all you see is all you get. Who was the painter and who the first teller of the tale? Designed as a philosophical detective story, Red Sea-Red Square-Red Thread follows the extraordinary number of thinkers and artists who have used the Red Sea anecdote to make so much more than a merely anecdotal point. Leading the large cast are the philosophers, Arthur Danto and Søren Kierkegaard, the poet and playwright, Henri Murger, the opera composer, Giacomo Puccini, and the painter and print-maker, William Hogarth. Strange companions perhaps, until their use of the anecdote is shown as working its extraordinary passage through so many cosmopolitan cities of art and capital. What about the anecdote brings Danto's philosophy of art into conversation with Kierkegaard's stages on life's way, with Murger and Puccini's la vie de bohème, and with Hogarth's modern moral pictures? Lydia Goehr explores these narratives of emancipation in philosophy, theology, politics, and the arts. What has the passage of the Israelites to do with the Egyptians who, by many gypsy names, came to be branded as bohemians when arriving in France from the German lands of Bohemia? What have Moses and monotheism to do with the history of monism and the monochrome? And what sort of thread connects a sea to a square when each is so purposefully named red?

Is there a Buddhist discourse on sex? In this innovative study, Bernard Faure reveals Buddhism's paradoxical attitudes toward sexuality. His remarkably broad range covers the entire geography of this religion, and its long evolution from the time of its founder, Xvkyamuni, to the premodern age. The author's anthropological approach uncovers the inherent discrepancies between the normative teachings of Buddhism and what its followers practice. Framing his discussion on some of the most prominent Western thinkers of sexuality--Georges Bataille and Michel Foucault--Faure draws from different reservoirs of writings, such as the orthodox and heterodox "doctrines" of Buddhism, and its monastic codes. Virtually untapped mythological as well as legal sources are also used. The dialectics inherent in Mahvyvna Buddhism, in particular in the Tantric and Chan/Zen traditions, seemed to allow for greater laxity and even encouraged breaking of taboos. Faure also offers a history of Buddhist monastic life, which has been buffeted by anticlerical attitudes, and by attempts to regulate sexual behavior from both within and beyond the monastery. In two chapters devoted to Buddhist homosexuality, he examines the way in which this sexual behavior was simultaneously condemned and idealized in medieval Japan. This book will appeal especially to those interested in the cultural history of Buddhism and in premodern Japanese culture. But the story of how one of the world's oldest religions has faced one of life's greatest problems makes fascinating reading for all.

For ghost-writer Colin Wison it's the commission of a lifetime - to invent a biography for the reclusive Swedish pharmaceutical billionaire Finn Fellin, now on his death bed. The brief: to make Fellin's life sound like the most extraordinary life ever lived. Money will be no object; and no subject - no matter how bizarre, salacious or fanciful - is off limits. There's just one catch: Colin is recovering - at a luxurious London psychiatric clinic known only as The Institute - from a mysterious incident that has robbed him of all his memories. With no recollections of his own past to draw from, he begins to plagiarize the stories he hears from fellow patients to populate the Fellin biography.

Sweet and Clean? challenges the widely held beliefs on bathing and cleanliness in the past. For over thirty years, the work of the French historian, George Vigarello, has been hugely influential on early modern European social history, describing an aversion to water and bathing, and the use of linen underwear as the sole cleaning agent for the body. However, these concepts do not apply to early modern England. Sweet and Clean? analyses etiquette and medical literature, revealing repeated recommendations to wash or bathe in order to clean the skin. Clean linen was essential for propriety but advice from medical experts was contradictory. Many doctors were convinced that it prevented the spread of contagious diseases, but others recommended flannel for undergarments, and a few thought changing a fever patient's linens was dangerous. The methodology of material culture helps determine if and how this advice was practiced. Evidence from inventories, household accounts and manuals, and surviving linen garments tracks underwear through its life-cycle of production, making, wearing, laundering, and final recycling. Although the material culture of washing bodies is much sparser, other sources, such as the Old Bailey records, paint a more accurate picture of cleanliness in early modern England than has been previously described. The contrasting analyses of linen and bodies reveal what histories material culture best serves. Finally, what of the diseases-plague, smallpox, and typhus-that cleanliness of body and clothes were thought to prevent? Did following early modern medical advice protect people from these illnesses?

In 1980, a freshman congressman was gunned down in Rhode Island, sending shockwaves through Washington that are still reverberating more than four decades later. Now, with the world on the brink of war and a weakened United States facing rampant inflation, political division, and shocking assassinations, a secret cabal of global elites is ready to assume control. And with the world's most dangerous man locked in solitary confinement, the conspirators believe the final obstacle to complete domination has been eliminated. They're wrong. With the odds stacked against him, James Reece is on a mission generations in the making. Unfortunately for his enemies, the former SEAL is not concerned with odds. He is on the warpath. And when James Reece picks up his tomahawk and sniper rifle, no one is out of range.--Book jacket.
