Little Dorrit

Publiziert am 20. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Little Dorrit – Charles Dickens

Little Dorrit was published 1856-57, when the author’s popularity was at its height. The plot is a slight one on which to hang more than fifty characters. The author began with the intention of emphasizing the fact that individuals brought together by chance, if only for an instant, continue henceforth to influence and to act and react upon one another. But this original motive is soon altogether forgotten in the multiplication of characters and the relation of their fortunes. The central idea is to portray the experiences of the Dorrit family, immured for many years on account of debt in the old Marshalsea Prison, and then unexpectedly restored to wealth and freedom. Having been pitiable … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Sacred Writings of Gregory of Nyssa

Gregory of Nyssa was bishop of Nyssa from 372 to 376, and from 378 until his death.

The Book Of Martyrs

Publiziert am 19. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Book Of Martyrs – John Foxe

“Acts and Monuments”, commonly known as The Book of Martyrs, is a celebrated work of church history and martyrology. It was published as an affirmation of the Protestant Reformation in England during a period of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Foxe’s account of church history asserted a historical justification that was intended to establish the Church of England as a continuation of the true Christian church rather than as a modern innovation, and it contributed significantly to a nationalistic repudiation of the Roman Catholic Church.

Occult Theocracy

Publiziert am 19. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Occult Theocracy – Edith Queenborough

This book makes no claim to literary merit. It is simply a work of research and documentation, giving evidence and facts which will help the reader in drawing his own conclusions. The book is not complete simply because it will never be complete. But for the present it is the best study of the root conditions which have led to present day subversive upheavals and the overthrow of the principles of Christian civilization. The book is a fascinating journey into the various occult traditions from the 16th century to the early 20th century and reveals secrets that have long been hidden. The author died under very mysterious circumstances and has taken much of the secrets … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Gospel of Buddha

Publiziert am 19. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Gospel of Buddha – Paul Carus

The best evidence that this book characterizes the spirit of Buddhism correctly can be found in the welcome it has received throughout the entire Buddhist world. It has even been officially introduced in Buddhist schools and temples of Japan and Ceylon. The eminent feature of the work is its grasp of the difficult subject and the clear enunciation of the doctrine of the most puzzling problem of tman, as taught in Buddhism. So far as we have examined the question of tman ourselves from the works of the Southern canon, the view taken by Dr. Paul Carus is accurate, and we venture to think that it is not opposed to the doctrine of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Compendium of history and biography of the city of Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan

Compendium of history and biography of the city of Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan – Clarence Monroe Burton

All history is, perforce, a merciless abridgment, and yet too much can never be written concerning any nation, any people— since each contribution must have a definite value. In the offering of this compendium of history and biography, the publishers lay claim not to any amplification of data in the annals of Detroit and Wayne county, but rather to the condensed, narrative presentation of the history of a section whose records bear the graceful tales of romance and the sterner burdens of definite accomplishment.
