At the tender age of thirteen, Darcy Preyer begins to question her belief system and the conventional Bible - believing adults who instilled it. Darcy's mother, Lillie Preyer, marries Wilder Coles, a saintly man who knows all about the bible but not much about himself. Trapped in an abusive home where she is silenced and neglected, Darcy's intuition of what is right and true is constantly challenged by her situation. She is thrust into hell on earth as she realizes the adults around her are blinded from the truth. Confused, Darcy retreats into a world where she is occupied by serious questions. Afraid of losing her inner voice, she embraces new ways of coping to avoid her contradictory reality. Will Darcy find the answers she is desperately searching for, and what will be her destiny? In Through Eyes That See you will accompany Darcy on her fascinating journey, with surprising and thought-provoking results. About the Author: Nadyne T.

This book, first published in 1926, is the candid record of a woman’s experiences in the business world at the turn of the twentieth century. Finishing her career as an advertising executive – one of the first women to succeed in that industry – Helen Woodward had experienced a fascinating life as a stenographer, and a clerk, being hired and fired and enduring the tedium of office life. Written with zest, shot through with shrewd and dispassionate comment on business life and practices, and filled with fascinating detail and anecdote, this autobiography is a remarkable record of an early business woman’s life.

Books in Motion addresses the hybrid, interstitial field of film adaptation. The introductory essay integrates a retrospective survey of the development of adaptation studies with a forceful argument about their centrality to any history of culture--any discussion, that is, of the transformation and transmission of texts and meanings in and across cultures. The thirteen especially composed essays that follow, organised into four sections headed 'Paradoxes of Fidelity', 'Authors, Auteurs, Adaptation', 'Contexts, Intertexts, Adaptation' and 'Beyond Adaptation', variously illustrate that claim by problematising the notion of fidelity, highlighting the role played by adaptation in relation to changing concepts of authorship and auteurism, exploring the extent to which the intelligibility of film adaptations is dependent on contextual and intertextual factors, and making a claim for the need to transcend any narrowly-defined concept of adaptation in the study of adaptation. Discussion ranges from adaptations of established classics like A Tale of Two Cities, Frankenstein, Henry V, Le temps retrouvé, Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, 'The Dead' or Wuthering Heights, to contemporary (popular) texts/films like Bridget Jones's Diary, Fools, The Governess, High Fidelity, The Hours, The Orchid Thief/Adaptation, the work of Doris Dörrie, the first Harry Potter novel/film, or the adaptations made by Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Walt Disney. This book will appeal to both a specialised readership and to those accessing the dynamic field of adaptation studies for the first time.
