After her first amateur fight ends in a swift KO, Natsuo is disappointed…not in her dominant performance, but because the win came too easy, a far cry from the brutal challenge that she craves. When she finds out that her rival Yuzuko Mawatari will be entering the rookie selection competition for the big G-Girl tournament at the end of the year, it lights a fire under her. She trains single-mindedly for the chance to pummel Yuzuko's little face in the ring, but her coach thinks it's far too soon to be entering a competition of that caliber, full of killer fighters…a prospect that makes Natsuo only more hungry.

Download and read online ebook Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story write by Martin Worthington. This book was released on 2019-10-29. Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume opens up new perspectives on Babylonian and Assyrian literature, through the lens of a pivotal passage in the Gilgamesh Flood story. It shows how, using a nine-line message where not all was as it seemed, the god Ea inveigled humans into building the Ark. The volume argues that Ea used a ‘bitextual’ message: one which can be understood in different ways that sound the same. His message thus emerges as an ambivalent oracle in the tradition of ‘folktale prophecy’. The argument is supported by interlocking investigations of lexicography, divination, diet, figurines, social history, and religion. There are also extended discussions of Babylonian word play and ancient literary interpretation. Besides arguing for Ea’s duplicity, the book explores its implications – for narrative sophistication in Gilgamesh, for audiences and performance of the poem, and for the relation of the Gilgamesh Flood story to the versions in Atra-hasīs, the Hellenistic historian Berossos, and the Biblical Book of Genesis. Ea’s Duplicity in the Gilgamesh Flood Story will interest Assyriologists, Hebrew Bible scholars and Classicists, but also students and researchers in all areas concerned with Gilgamesh, word-play, oracles, and traditions about the Flood.
