Aesop’s Fables For Children

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

Aesop’s Fables For Children – Aesop

Aesop’s Fables For Children – and won’t the young folks revel in it! The best of the old fables are here and all in a fine new dress – so wittily pictured by Milo Winter and so delightfully retold that Aesop himself would chuckle with the children over his own simplified wisdom.

Kebra Nagast

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

Kebra Nagast – E. A. Wallis Budge

This volume contains a complete English translation of the famous Ethiopian work, The “Kebra Nagast”, i.e. the “Glory of the Kings [of Ethiopia]”. This work has been held in peculiar honour in Abyssinia for several centuries, and throughout that country it has been, and still is, venerated by the people as containing the final proof of their descent from the Hebrew Patriarchs, and of the kinship of their kings of the Solomonic line with Christ, the Son of God. The Kebra Nagast is a great storehouse of legends and traditions, some historical and some of a purely folk-lore character, derived from the Old Testament and the later Rabbinic writings, and from Egyptian (both … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Lost Prince

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

The Lost Prince – Frances Hodgson-Burnett

A charming legendary romance of today, having for its hero a boy prince in ignorance of his royal station, who traveled through France as a tramp, secretly carrying a sign and a message to stray men in crowded streets, at palace gates, in forests, and on mountain sides, he himself ignorant of all but that he must obey and pass on in silence. A tale of faerie, touched with mysticism, instinct with romance and courage and the spirit of consecration to an ideal of splendid service.

T. Tembarom

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

T. Tembarom – Frances Hodgson-Burnett

Imagine Mrs. Burnett saying to herself: “I think I will rewrite Little Lord Fauntleroy for grown-up readers, but instead of having him the carefully nurtured son of a refined and loving mother, he shall have had the harsher training of Dick the bootblack, a product of the New York streets.” Whether consciously or not, that at all events is precisely what Mrs. Burnett has done in T. Tembarom, which mysterious and cryptic name is simply a convenient abbreviation of the hero’s more aristocratic appellation of Temple Temple Barholm. A young man of twenty odd years, who has slept in cellars and barrels, has roughed it from the days of his earliest remembrance and fought his … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Fable of the Bees

Publiziert am 11. Juni 2017 von Jazzybee

The Fable of the Bees – Bernard de Mandeville

Mandeville’s philosophy gave great offence at the time, and has always been stigmatized as false, cynical and degrading. His main thesis is that the actions of men cannot be divided into lower and higher. In the Fable he shows a society possessed of all the virtues “blest with content and honesty,” falling into apathy and utterly paralyzed. The absence of self-love is the death of progress. The so-called higher virtues are mere hypocrisy, and arise from the selfish desire to be superior to the brutes. He endeavours to show that all social laws are the crystallized results of selfish aggrandizement and protective alliances among the weak.
