Sinopse

Hyperion by Friedrich Hölderlin is a remarkable work of German literature that blends poetic beauty, philosophical reflection, and emotional depth. First published in 1797–1799, this lyrical novel tells a powerful story of idealism, love, and the search for freedom in a world marked by conflict and disappointment.

Written in the form of letters, the narrative follows Hyperion, a young Greek idealist who longs for personal fulfillment and the rebirth of his homeland. Living in a time when Greece struggles under foreign domination, Hyperion dreams of restoring the spirit, beauty, and greatness that once defined the ancient world. His passionate desire for freedom and harmony drives him into both political struggle and deep personal reflection.

Throughout the novel, Hyperion's journey unfolds across the landscapes of Greece—its mountains, islands, and seas—described with extraordinary poetic imagery. These settings mirror the hero's inner world, where hope, longing, and sorrow constantly intertwine. As he reflects on the fate of his country and the nature of human existence, Hyperion wrestles with questions about beauty, unity, freedom, and the meaning of life.

A central part of the story is Hyperion's profound love for Diotima, a woman who represents spiritual harmony, grace, and the ideal of human perfection. Their relationship becomes a symbol of the possibility of a higher, more beautiful existence. Yet the realities of war, loss, and disappointment challenge Hyperion's dreams, forcing him to confront the gap between his ideals and the imperfect world around him.

Hölderlin's writing is rich with philosophical insight and lyrical expression, reflecting the influence of classical Greek culture and the emerging ideals of German Romanticism. The novel explores themes such as the pursuit of beauty, the struggle for national identity, the tension between idealism and reality, and the longing for unity between humanity and nature.

Both deeply personal and broadly philosophical, Hyperion stands as a meditation on the hopes and struggles of the human spirit. Its poetic language and emotional intensity have made it one of the most admired works of Romantic literature.

Timeless and reflective, Hyperion invites readers into a world where poetry, philosophy, and history merge—offering a profound exploration of love, freedom, and the enduring search for meaning

~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~

Jeremy feels bored and horny as he drives along the highway towards the Paul Bunyan Statue.

Ariana breathes a sigh of boredom. Her daddy is sitting beside her in the driver's seat—at least he has something to do, driving the car on their way to the Paul Bunyan Statue.

"Ooh, daddy, pull over!" Ariana suddenly exclaims, sounding excited.

"Huh?" Jeremy says, automatically slowing the car down. "What is it?"

"Arrowheads!" she announces, and when the car is pulled over she hops out, Jeremy putting the car into park and then following her.

He walks over to find his daughter looking around near the car. The road is empty for miles all around. It's just the two of them.

"I swear they were here!" she says, standing up, looking disappointed.

"Aw honey, I'm sure we'll find some. Don't worry," he says, and Ariana nods. She walks up to her daddy, resting her head against his chest. He puts his arms around her and give her a pat, reassuring her.

When Ariana pulls back, it's just to look up into her daddy's eyes. He's looking down at her. His heart begins beating fast, and so does hers. There's nobody else around for miles.

Jeremy can't believe how he's feeling right now. Ariana's looking up at him, those doe eyes just asking to be taken. He can feel a stirring in his pants already. Of course, that can't be what she really wants…can it?

"It's nice being with you during the day," Jeremy says to his daughter. "It sounds lame, but sometimes I get kind of lonely."

"Oh, well," Ariana says. "To be honest, coming home to see you is the best part of my day." She looks up into her daddy's eyes, and he's looking down into hers. "In fact, I…I can't wait to see you," she says.

Feral Werewolf - Book 2 of "Owned"

Marilyn Fae

Anya is in a tough spot. The man - werewolf, her mind supplies readily - is glaring at her with his arms crossed. She eyes the exit. Maybe if she moves fast enough, she can escape. And then what? It's not like she has anywhere to hide. She bites the inside of her cheeks and signs the papers in front of her without knowing what she's agreeing to.

She doesn't know what to expect when they lock her up in a room with a man who is more beast than human. He is chained to the ground with a collar around his neck and maybe he was handsome, once upon a time. But now, he is aggression and sharp teeth. He snarls at her when she is tossed in. She turns to run, but the door slams behind her.

"Good luck," is all her captor says.

She turns back around. Oh god. She's so screwed.

~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~

He frowns, and then with one smooth motion, hops onto the table. He squats and leans forward until his face is inches from mine.

I jerk back in surprise, but his hand shoots out and cradles the back of my head, forcing me to stay in place. I think I hear something from the other room, but I can't hear it because my heart is pounding too loudly, an erratic 'thump-thump-thump' that seems to ring in my ears.

He leans closer until our breaths mix, his exhales turning into my inhales. I can smell the metallic pang of blood from the meat he had been eating, but beyond that, a clean, musky scent that it wholly him.

"Hello," I whisper tentatively and watch as his eyes lock onto my lips. I hope he's not thinking of adding me to the menu. The man earlier did say he's never killed anyone before, right? I don't want to set precedent.

He tilts his head in contemplation and blinks slowly.

"Hello. My name's Anya. What's yours?" I ask.

He pulls his upper lip back and stares at me with pupils that look like a sort of aquamarine gemstone. Lovely and utterly mesmerizing. I am beginning to lose hope about him answering when he suddenly opens his mouth. "Leo," he growls and the murmuring on the other side of the room grows even louder.

"Hello, Leo," I say, surprising myself by the lack of tremble in my voice. The rest of me is shaking badly. Without warning, he yanks me forward and buries his nose in the nape of my neck. He inhales deep, breathing in my scent and filling his lungs with my smell. His hands are on my shoulders now, keeping me firmly in place, which is good because without his hands on me, I am certain I would just melt into a puddle on the floor out of fear.

"Mine," he rumbles suddenly and slides off the table with more grace than he's allowed. There's not a lot of space between the table and me and he ends up pushing me back until the chair tilts too much and I feel myself falling back suddenly.

The back of my head never connects with the floor because he grabs me by my arms and drags me towards the bed. "Mine," he repeats, his voice a deep vibrating bass that echoes endlessly in the too-bright room.

"Wait! No- wait! Stop!" I cry out, seeing where this is going. He's not going to eat me, but it's obvious he's not disinterested in me either. All the people who have shoved me in the room early had expected him to ignore me completely, but it's obvious that's not going to happen now. If anything, he is too interested in me. "Stop- stop!" I cry out.

He bares his teeth at me in frustration but lets go nevertheless.

I run towards the door immediately and start banging on it. "Let me out!" I am surprised that he does not come after me but I do not turn around to check, afraid of what I'll find. "Let me out!"

"He's not going to hurt you," I hear from the other side of the door. "We can let you out, but if you do this now and consider all your brother's debt gone. We'll pay everything he owes."
