Fatti Ashi died. Startling her family and community, she comes back to life just a few hours after dying. Blessing chronicles the life of this Fatti Ashi, a young village girl who from the moment she rejoins the land of the living is faced with both obstacles and opportunities consistent with an attempted mergence of two worlds. From a child who is molded with her fathers advice to merge ancestral skull worship and Christianity to an underprivileged teenager who falls in love with the alphabet and finally becoming a woman who desires emotional and financial independence, Fatti Ashis life yields misunderstandings and isolation. As a child in the village, her life is a battleground for family rivalry and religious conflict. As a teenage wife in the city, she befriends a sex worker who encourages her to bring meaning into her life rather than simply living to the dictates of others. She takes up the challenge by embarking on adult education and becoming a breadwinner but is taken aback when her husband requests a divorce. In a search for solutions to save her marriage, she entertains traditional religion, Catholicism and Pentecostalism. Disappointment and desperation lead her to take a deeper look at the situation. Is she to stay married simply for convenience? Is she to continue following religious paths laid out by others, clearly not as beneficial to her? Is she to please society to her detriment? The long journey of self-discovery takes her through scandal and humiliation but in the end, she emerges as a confident, admired and happy woman.

“You, yourself, are the most powerful of omens... There is nothing more powerful than the power of the unknown and the emotion that it stirs.” An eventful year has passed since Jaci crashed onto the wild world of Acedia. Now, she’s been taken captive by a war-chief whose clan has invaded the land she’d settled to call home. Taken from her family, removed from any means of contacting her people, and fearful of being regained by the emperor’s people who may enslave her to a temple, or maybe sacrifice her to appease the gods, Jaci’s perceived power as being the Omen is proving far more dangerous than she ever imagined. As she is taken across the realm, the limits of what she’s willing to do are tested, not just by the chief’s ruthless ways, but by the interest of a powerful priest who believes she is the forerunner of the return of the gods, people from the stars, and discoveries left behind from when those people once walked this land. Trapped between the opposing factions of the world and beyond which seem to be drawing towards an inevitable conflict, can Jaci endure long enough to reunite with her warrior husband and newborn son?

François Raffoul approaches the concept of responsibility in a manner that is distinct from its traditional interpretation as accountability of the willful subject. Exploring responsibility in the works of Nietzsche, Sartre, Levinas, Heidegger, and Derrida, Raffoul identifies decisive moments in the development of the concept, retrieves its origins, and explores new reflections on it. For Raffoul, responsibility is less about a sovereign subject establishing a sphere of power and control than about exposure to an event that does not come from us and yet calls to us. These original and thoughtful investigations of the post-metaphysical senses of responsibility chart new directions for ethics in the continental tradition.
