The novel is a sequel to the Godfather Trilogy. It depicts the chronicle of the notorious Corleone Family as a metaphor for capitalism in America. In other words, the novel aims to shed light on the ascent of a new underworld figure, who is the product of the tumultuous events that took place and drastically changed the world we live in throughout the past three decades in terms of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War, the September 11 attacks, and the invasion of Iraq. The Godfather IV portrays the rise of Robert Corleone (the protagonist) to power, as well as the remarkable transformations in his volatile life; from a decent, warmhearted young man, a brilliantly preeminent student, to a brutish streetfighter, and a coldblooded murderer, who eventually becomes the head of the most powerful mafia family in the whole world.

Read these stories with a bit of seriousness, forget age, keep no prejudice and bias and laugh heartily. Yes, it goes without saying, don't try to make any sense out of it at all. Of course no one will not be found. If you try to find it on the contrary, you cannot avoid the possibility of spoiling your relationship with me. Please do not read these stories late at night. Read alone. Once a serious minded friend of mine read these stories at night and he forgot his consciousness and started to laugh heartily while holding his own belly. With that, his wife woke up and was shocked to see his condition. But this did not listen and did not stop laughing. Finally the doctor had to be called. So be careful.

"In this bold hybrid collection of poetry and micro-flash fiction, the award-winning, interdisciplinary writer, and author of Side Notes from the Archivist explores what happens when god is a Black woman in a town and multiple universes in the middle of nowhere? What if god were a Black woman? What if there were other universes, and in each universe other Black woman gods? One million versions of god, and one million saints to watch over us? And what if this Black woman god was placed here on our earth? These are just a few of the questions Anastacia-Reneâe asks in this daring and mind-bending hybrid collection. A compelling blend of poetry, micro-flash fiction, and sci-fi Afrofuturism with a prose storyline and characters that connect through family, time, and place. Anastacia-Reneâe paints world(s) rich with wonder and and the paranormal as she peers into the lives of the everyday people and the spectacular creatures inhabiting not just our neighborhoods, but other dimensions. Hers is a universe of striking variety-monsters, nontraditional saints, witches, zombies, the couple in the apartment next door, the wise elders from down the block, and gods watching over us all-as well as community and connectedness. Here in the (Middle) of Nowhere is about interstellar ancestry, community and spirituality, about the things we invoke conjure and rely on to maintain our unwavering joy as we move through life. Anastacia-Reneâe's power lies in her spellbinding storytelling-her ability to bring forth lovingly rendered characters captured in powerful brief bursts of lyrical poetry, her ability to build worlds, within worlds and the ways in which she dares us to fully love ourselves and see each other in all our complexity"--

"An artist does not produce the visible, he renders things visible. He reveals what we cannot see. He opens our eyes blinded by habit. He advances into the very heart of creation. He grasps life's hidden forces and reveals them on canvas" - Govind Madhav Solegaonkar.Beyond the Canvas is a narrative account of the life story of the master artist, Govind Solegaonkar, as seen through the eyes of his youngest granddaughter, Renuka.

What does it take to follow one's heart? Through Solegaonkar's life story, his paintings and his writings, Renuka goes on an explorative journey to understand the artist behind the art.

To cease a man's independence, privacy and self-respect is a heinous crime. To commit him to slavery and use him to one's advantage with the motive of fulfilling their own desires is even more horrendous. Such heartless barbaric clans did exist in this world and were predominantly from the European countries. The beginning of the 16th century has a recorded history of human slavery which lasted through the 19th century. These European countries invaded other countries and established their colonies. They swindled the riches of these nations for their own personal gains. And they did not stop there, they subjugated the local population to enormous misery and hardship. They were ill-treated into submission by force and torture.One such classic character was Oroonoko. The colonizers extracted favours from him only to torture him and put him to death. The pathetic life of Oroonoko was seen by Aphra Behn, who recorded the happenings in the form of a novel. This poetry book rendered in the Tamil language, depicts the heartwrenching story of Oroonoko, which would stir readers and inspire them to rise up against injustice.

Even in the first half of the 20s, some epics were written, but by the time of Jaishankar Prasad's 'Kamayani', the tradition came to an end. The novel took away almost everything of the epic, but the sentiment was still left, and by incorporating this feel, the Mahapraana invented a new style of poetry which had a full esense of epic feeling but limited description. Now the variety and completeness of the sentiment were put aside, but its intensity and depth increased, which the novel could never have. In such a intense feeling, Mahapraan Niraala wrote many long poetries which are still a benchmark of literature.

"Once, driven wild with grief over the murder of his beloved, the majestic Fey King Rain Tairen Soul had laid waste to the world before vanishing into the Fading Lands. Now, a thousand years later, a new threat draws him back into the world--and a new love reawakens the heart he thought long-dead. Ellysetta, a woodcarver's daughter, calls to Rain in a way no other ever has. Mysterious and magical, her soul beckons him with a compelling, seductive song--and no matter the cost, the wildness in his blood will not be denied. As an ancient, familiar evil regains its strength, causing centuries-old alliances to crumble and threatening doom for Rain and his people, he must claim his true mate to embrace the destiny woven for them both in the mists of time." --
